Thread Goal

Our goal for this thread is to give players a consolidated place to directly ask questions to our administration team.


Disclosure

Not all questions will have immediate or detailed answers. Due to development or internal planning, some information will need to remain undisclosed. If your question is not something we are able to answer, it will be documented. You aren't being ignored - we simply can't provide informative answers to every question being asked. We will always do our best!


How This Works

  • The thread will be open for questions for two weeks
    • Every other Friday the thread will be locked.
    • The following Monday, the thread will be unlocked and answers posted.
  • It may not be possible for us to answer all questions, but each will be documented and archived.
  • We will answer around seven to ten questions, depending on volume.



This Thread is Not For

  • Engineering or feature development questions - You may ask them but we will document these questions and if possible, answer them in a future Words on the Wind.
  • Non-questions - posts that are not questions or are quoting a previously asked question will be removed without warning.
    • The above artificially inflates the thread and can bury other questions.
    • Discussion posts that have a question thrown in to prevent deletion will be removed.
  • How-to Questions - the Help forum is your best bet for seeking help with gameplay; the knowledgeable combination of players and moderators here should set you on the right track!

Yes. We've fallen a bit behind but we're working on them around the day to day tasks!

We really enjoy April Fool's because many game development companies like to add some silly flavor to their websites and games on this day. While we are a relatively small company and team, we still consider ourselves a member of that industry and like to participate in the fun!

It's a-okay to share an IP or computer with another player! As long as it's actually two different people with a unique account each playing, all should be well.

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep]
A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

Is there any base scale of how long each earth say is compared to a sornieth day, or is it up to interpretation?

Is the world map "to scale", with the rivers in the territories being massive, or are they base representations that don't represent how large places like the tangled wood truly are?

Will deities ever communicate outside of their holiday posts again? Are there plans to hire or let mods role play as the deities in other cases?
