Let's Talk About AC

If there's one thing that we mods like to do it's talk about how we can improve the game and/or player experience. Sometimes this leads to new or refreshed events and event styles, sometimes it helps us build up the metaplot in new ways, and sometimes, it's talking about the moving parts of things like Activity Check. This last one has been on our mind for a while. While we do like the Activity System as it currently is, that doesn't mean that we can't see ways in which to improve it for a better experience, and how they could benefit the players and game.

Right now we are still the thought and discussion phase, and because of that have come up with a few alternative AC schema we'd like player feedback on. None of these are actually in place to implement yet, and ultimately if this discussion leads to positive feedback on the idea of making a change, we'll have an anonymous poll on what players think the ultimate decision should be. For now we're looking to let you know there is discussion going on, and asking for your feedback because we want to know if you see additional pros or cons to any one plan, or can suggest a different plan that might work.

Again, all of this is still only in the thoughts and comments phase, and nowhere near being instituted. Please continue to follow the current AC system as it is listed on the AC page. When we make the change, you will receive one month of warning if it's a large change, or a shorter warning if it's a simpler one. So, without further ado, here are the currently discussed options.

Note: All systems will still allow for hiatuses AND players can still reach out to mods in extenuating situations.


First, let's look at what the current AC system is.
