App/Reserve Announcement
The game is very close to reaching the 40 player cap and has enough potential reserves to fill the last few slots, so new player reserves are now closed and apps are only open to current reserves and current players. We just wanted to give info on a few things going forward regarding apps!
When will reserves for new players open again?
Drops happen naturally during the course of a game due to various circumstances, so new player reserves and apps will open based on players dropping. We will reopen new player apps/reserves whenever the player count drops to 35 players or below. When this happens, we'll give 1 day's notice that reserves for new players are reopening, and a specific time and date they'll open. When they reopen, they will be on a first come, first serve basis.
What does this mean for current player reserves/apps?
Even while new player reserves/apps are closed, current players may still reserve/app new characters at any time, as all players are allowed a total of 4 character slots. Reserves aren't necessary for current players to app (you can just app without a reserve if you're a current player), but current players can still put reserves in to lay claim to the character. The usual cast caps, duplicate character caps, and similar rules still apply, and 2 weeks must pass between apps.
Will current player reserves/apps ever close?
The only times current player apps/reserves will be closed will be during very rare reserve/app blackouts that happen due to mod circumstances (such as mods going on vacations) or for plot-based reasons (such as very intense or gamewide plots that might make new character intros difficult or that separate groups of characters). Speaking of which...
Holiday Current Player App/Reserve Blackout
Due to the upcoming holidays, we're briefly closing current player apps and reserves but this is just on a temporary basis because of the holiday season and one of the mods going on vacation over the holidays. The blackout period for current player apps/reserves will run from 12/22 to 12/30. They will reopen on 12/31.
