I'm back from the land of the proverbial dead and I've seemingly beating corona. After many days being bored and tired (very...tired) I've regained the mental capacity to look at a screen again and not zone out. Man, I've got bad timing when it comes to getting sick, but oh well.
Forum User Profile
I've enabled the use of a new user profile, which does all the things the "old" user profile does but more. And also, less. What it can do:
- Integrates with forum subscriptions. You can now subscribe to forums and topics and remain updated on exactly everything I do.
- Signatures: do I need to explain? This would replace the profile banner (who cares?).
- Changing nicknames and display names
- Adding your social networks
What the new profiles can't do (yet): private messaging (yet) and adding more profile fields (such as for your RP character, yet).
You can switch between the two on the top right of your user profile (check this post's attachment). Forum Profile for the newer one and Site Profile for the older one. If the new profile is to our liking, I'll go ahead and but the software needed to support Private Messaging for the newer user profile software. The change is as-is and would most likely see all sent PM's vanish into thin air.
Roleplay Event
To celebrate, and to keep your interest piqued, we'll be rolling out our first RP Event soonTM. All factions will be able to participate and there will be rewards both general in nature and, if all goes well, rewards specific to this event (and then specific rewards for specific future events too). More on that in the Community Development section.
