Alan 1815 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Greeting, denizens of Anthos the Fringe I don't even know If the title didn't make it obvious enough, we will officially be closing off Anthos exactly one week from tonight at midnight, 11:59 PM EST, Sunday April 13th (1 minute from Monday April 14th). Since the Fringe was released, this topic has been greatly discussed within the staff as well as with the playerbase, and finally after a staff vote with an overwhelming majority in favor of its closing, we are doing just that. After the time frame has passed, there will be no returning to Anthos (No exceptions!), so be sure to take everything you need from the continent and perhaps explore it one last time before it's no longer accessible. We will be working with the Antagonist in the coming days as well to determine the course of IC happenings so that this transition makes sense and the storyline adapts accordingly. When 4.0 rolls around we may or may not put the map of Anthos up for download on our downloads page, and maybe the Fringe as well, so it will not be gone for good! For now, however, say your goodbyes, shed your tears, and piss in your last holes before accepting the Fringe and eventually 4.0 as your new homes. Also, let me take this post as an opportunity to express some things regarding the Fringe. Contrary to apparent popular belief, ALL RULES STILL APPLY IN THE FRINGE! This DOES include the War Rules, which seems necessary for me to single out and mention given the nature of all the battling that has taken place. Returning to battle is still disallowed and will get you warned/banned, raiding more frequently than once every two days (unless other conditions are met as expressed in the war rules) will get the participants warned/banned, poor reasoning to justify breaking these rules (like getting people to come out of their fortifications and using that as an excuse to raid sooner than once every two days) will get you warned/banned, and the list goes on. As mentioned, the same goes for other rules as well. Regions or not, block jumping is still against the rules, unRP and unreasonable griefing or landscarring is still against the rules, noRP killing is still against the rules, etc. This may be a new map and it may have a lot more freedom than Anthos had, but all of the rules still apply, so offenders will be punished just as harshly. As of now, GMs will begin cracking down on this, so be sure to be on your best behavior. Thank you all, and enjoy your roleplay in the Fringe :) - Some random treehugger & the Lord of the Craft Staff 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhDeerLord 673 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I do hope this means we'll get soulstones in the Fringe. -creates a cellar in order to store all my my things in- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readicti 902 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I do hope this means we'll get soulstones in the Fringe. Finally~ Its time for Anthos to go. And I agree with Dwyn I hope this means the soulstones in the Fringe are coming back soon. It would suck to have to run across the map all the time during char switches or even if you just die.

Alan 1815 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 I do hope this means we'll get soulstones in the Fringe. -creates a cellar in order to store all my my things in- Ya there was a vote on that too, though to be honest I wasn't even aware of this rule before the vote came up (silly me!). I'm not sure why that was made a rule, but we are definitely removing it at this point. Players are welcome to their soul pillars! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fimlin 1997 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Anthos was bad, but I assume the as pillars will come back? And maybe regions for the nation capitols to have a region, sand by nation I mean NATION Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan 1815 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 But in addition to rittsy please not this doesn't mean everyone and their mum can get their own soul pillar each we are still going to keep the numbers of soul pillars on the map restricted. Aye of course, same conditions will still apply as Anthos for having soul pillars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
