April Announcements & March Update Log

[avalonmods]

 
Announcements for April:

• It's raining, it's pouring... There may be old men snoring somewhere, but the point is, it's raining hard pretty much all of April, EVERYWHERE in Avalon. Thankfully, after last year's heavy rain issues, the inn was fortified so no one should have any flooding issues.
• Because of the large amount of water, a number of water sprites and fairies will be visible around town. If you find one dancing in the rain, feel free to join in and they'll happily dance with you. Additionally, it's going to be wet enough that the Lady of the Lake is able to go on land and may be seen anywhere in the available areas this month. 

NEW Housekeeping Updates:

• Updates to FAQ:
  • Outdated rewards page links were updated.
  • Added Fairy Blessings info to the Magic section. (From Dec. event, but can be activated any time.)
• Updates to Locations:
  • Visible calamity note was revised to say "now visible in the north area of the sky regardless of where in Avalon you are" for clarity after feedback.
• Updates to Canon Updates:
  
  • CRAU and Canon updates separated into two forms
  • CRAU form is new and specific to CRAU updates
  • Canon update form was made more specific so that you only need to write the information mods actually need, rather than a whole history section. 
  • Added the info about canon updates from the FAQ to be reflected on the canon updates page for ease of accessing the IC canon updating info.
  • Added the info from the FAQ about the 1-month rule for new content.
  • Added a notice that mods reserve the right to nerf any skill deemed to be more along the lines of powers/magic or would somehow be world-breaking.
  • Added info about physical changes from canon updates.
    
  • Tl;dr: it looks like it's more on the page, but it's actually way simpler to do canon updates now and the info is pulled out of the FAQ so all the canon update info is in the same place. No more scavenging for canon update info.
• Updates for NPCs:
  • Morganna's been summoned three times. Morganna's summoning link has been relocated to a different page.
• Updates to Rewards:
  • Home Regain has been split into two items:
    • Home Regain (Level 1): Regain one item from home that meets the following criteria: Items readily available IRL/non-fiction without license or special permissions, sentimental only, additional outfits/non-combative or non-magical accessories. No vehicles or items of significant size (cannot be easily carried by an average human.) - MOVED TO MEDIUM COST ITEMS (PRICE: 7)
    • Home Regain (Level 2): Regain one item from home that falls under the following criteria: Fantasy items, weapons, pets, items with magic attributes (must still follow inventory guidelines), items of significant size (an average human couldn't easily carry). No vehicles, teleportation/time-travel items, or otherwise game-breaking items. - STAYING IN HIGH-COST ITEMS (PRICE: 15)
    • This adjustment makes things more fair so people aren't paying the same for a notepad as they are for an Ironman suit.
      
    • If you have already submitted for a home regain from rewards for March and your item fits in the level 1 option, please PM to cancel the current request and submit a new request. Otherwise, they will be processed as-submitted. Price changes are not retroactive, so you cannot undo a previous purchase to adjust for a lower price.

  • Based on feedback from players, we've added links to current activities and added a new field in the form for quests and tdm prompts you're interested in!
