Truly when we posted the announcement about this, we didn’t foresee the concerns overwhelmingly listed on the previous announcement. We never meant to cause anybody any strife when it comes to playing their characters ICly. These were not issues that we anticipated being so widespread. We do apologize that the implementation was not up to snuff, and so we are pulling the swap mechanic in order to reassess and come up with something that will be more feasible for a larger portion of the game. The information in the previous announcement no longer applies and will be revised as such:
( monster witch swap mechanic revised )
We knew this would be an unpopular decision. Caps are never fun but we feel they have become necessary in a game this size. While we did read and take into consideration everyone’s opinions on the October Mid-Month post, we also have to take into consideration the concerns expressed to us through private channels. As mods, we have to give everyone’s opinion weight when making our decisions - not just the opinions posted in public. This sort of decision ultimately has to be made by the mod team based on what we think will be best for the entire game. We do apologize for any disappointment or negative feelings this may cause, and we don’t do this lightly.
( cast and franchise caps )
We appreciate everyone’s feedback, negative and positive both. We always want to take player opinions into consideration where we can, but unfortunately, sometimes we have to make the hard and unpopular decisions, as with caps. As far as the swapping mechanics go, we see now what kinds of problems it could cause implemented the way we were going to - please consider all of that from the last post scrapped, and refer to this announcement instead.
We haven’t replied to everyone on the previous announcement post and likely won’t individually (it’s a lot, guys, we’re sorry!), but if your concern or question was not covered or clarified in this announcement, please let us know, here, or on the Mod Contact post if you prefer to air it in private.
The CR Meme for November will still go up today at 3 PM EST.
