There are several issues that have developed recently and I would like to simply update you all on things that have been done to help alleviate them. Along with everything you have seen going up and the systems being tested with HPD (final release expected by next week the latest) there have been some major updates:

Applications

- All applications have been updated to include questions that will make applicants focus on the what powergaming and metagaming is.

- HPD applications have additional fields requesting the time the person has played in CD, examples of how a cop might metagame and powergame, and a new scenario to better gage what kind of cop they would be (corruption is wanted, but not overboard)

- Seaside Applications now have the current zoning in the terms of agreement as well as a question regarding it in the application where they have to name spots in the zones they can and can’t be in to make sure youth are held accountable for their whereabouts.

Guides

In addition to the guide that has been up for months (http://live.thecrackden.com/roleplay), all the other guides have been put online now and can be seen from the home (http://live.thecrackden.com) for ease of access (this required a redo of the seaside website so you will notice a total change there). Still to come is a guide for combat and some others, which is in its final stages. The OOC area will have a links to this site (and thus zoning map)

Security/admin changes

New guides for our team have been in the making and are rolling out this week as well. These guides are not public, but what will be public is a list of people that you can contact for help for certain issues. Some new roles will be made to better cater to RP issues as well so they are handled in a more timely manner.

Would like to thank you all for your patience, it has been slow finishing the sim and dealing with problems that arise daily, but the end is near. Have any big issues? Just post in here. I’ll be doing another update post in the next week or two regarding the more visible updates around sim that you may have missed. Thanks!
