OOC UPDATES

Hi friends!

Behold, a big (legitimately) update:

For the past month, we've been keeping an eye on how things have started to settle in the wake of the announcement regarding the game's closure. We wanted to get a sense of how many players/characters we'd be left with, where everyone's motivation and engagement level was (including our own), and to see how the party split shook out before we made any significant structural changes to the plotting or timeline of the game. With what we've observed and knowing what our own workload is like, we've decided to move forward in two major stages:

1) We're opting to do a write-up for the remaining events of Hyrypia in their entirety rather than releasing information triggered by character interaction. We understand that this may seem a little too structured and restrictive, but feel like delaying the events of Hyrypia in light of the volume of players remaining on the planet is pretty counter intuitive. We want you guys to spend your time doing things you find most appealing and interesting for your character's development rather than feeling required to kick a ball in a mysterious direction and hope you find the goal posts.

We're hoping this is a good compromise to make sure that we can put a bow on Mission Hyrypia while also being certain to reunite all remaining players characters on the Station to provide a game-wide wrap up. We've tried our best to incorporate a lot of different player driven elements over the course of the mission into the final events, though we strongly encourage all Mission Hyrypia players to fill in between the lines. If it's not explicitly stated in the Mission Hyrypia Finale Timeline then you're free to go wild. But we're not abandoning you to the sandbox! If you want to do stuff with us, if you have questions, or would like to springboard off any of the planned narrative beats outlined in that timeline, we're totally here to encourage and develop those ideas with you.

2) In preparation for a game-wide wrap up, we'll be waiving the Activity Check that would typically take place April 1st - 5th. We have Big Plans for our finale event that we'd like to keep open to all players to end cap their experience in Station 72 should anyone like to participate and don't want anyone to feel like they're stuck between the rock of lack of motivation to make AC in a weird, rocky month and a desire to participate in end game. We believe the game's ending should be a celebration of all the cool things we made together over the last two without hassle or guilt so anyone who wants to Do The Thing has the option to.

We'll get you more details soon about what's going on for end game, but wanted to make sure everyone was informed and prepared going into month end.

If you have any questions about these changes, reach out in the questions thread below. If you have any mission Hyrypia IC questions or general player plot questions, jump on over to the QUESTIONS POST to ask them.

Thanks everyone!

Would like to possibly squeeze Bucky busting down doors plot in after the clock reset. Sam and him will be using the words in an attempt to get a better hold on the Soldier, but it will possibly go a bit wrong and he will bust down some doors before Sam gets a hold of him again. If that's cool with you guys.

Definitely! I'll slot it into the calendar and PM you some additional setting relevant details soon. Let me know what day you'd prefer this to happen so I can get it into the right space.

Maybe around day 002/003 after the reset? Since they won't be doing it upon arrival back at the station. Thanks so much! :)
