Crunching Timelines



End of Month Efforts

We recently received a Suggestion asking that we work on processing Drops + updating the Taken List in a more timely fashion, so that it's done before Apps open each month. It's tougher with fewer mods, but we're going to aim for that to be true going forward!

There's one big thing that will help us make this a bit easier...

Activity Check Warning List & Tag Count Bonuses

Around the same time that AC is being processed, Reserves are opening, and we're getting ramped up for Apps, there's also the matter of Tag Counts. Historically, Tag Counts have processed in tandem with finalizing the monthly Drop List because we needed it for determining AC Bonuses.

From now on, those characters that end up on the AC Warning List are not eligible for receiving their AC Bonus. Who does get AC bonus then...?

• Those who responded to AC on time. This includes HMD comments during eligible months.
  
• Those who didn't respond, but are on Hiatus.
  
• Those who accidentally ended up on the AC Warning List and that is later corrected by the mods. If the Tag Counts go up before this mistake is realized, we'll be happy to add in AC Bonus later.

This should stop Tag Counts from being posted much later in the month and also help the mod team hit our goal of having the Taken List updated in time for Apps opening each month.

Still Looking For Assistance

We've received just one offer for List assistance so far, but there are still more gaps that we really need to fill in order to keep the game enjoyable for everyone. Please see the previous announcement for details.




We appreciate everyone's understanding as we undertake these mod task changes,
