UPDATES AND AC RESULTS





Hello Reverie Operators,

With an additional mod now added to the team, we’ve been working hard to establish new opportunities and arcs to engage in. We’ve heard a lot of fantastic feedback from you during the last few months that we’ve taken deeply into consideration. As we begin to to change gears a little starting from November, we’d like to take a moment to share some thoughts, changes, and additions to the game.

While there are still numerous mysteries to be explored, we hope that a breath of fresh air and some new, strange missions and locations will give you a boost.

GAME MECHANICS

You might have noticed some of the pages and layouts of the game refreshed to provide a simple, streamlined approach to navigating across pages. We’ve taken a look at activity and AC, and decided to make a few changes to the system that will make it easier for you to work with.

First off, we’ve changed the regular AC submission process so that you have the opportunity to post your required 200 points at any point during the month. We will no longer be posting an AC submission page beginning with October. From here on, please utilize the Activity page and submit at any time you’d like within the month. This allows for flexibility when taking into consideration bonus AC purchases throughout the cycle. Note, there will be no warning lists at the end of the month. You have until the last day of the month, 11:59PM UTC to post to your top level in the Activity post.

Additionally, we’ve simplified the point calculation and provided a small boost to the value of log comments. Previously, each log comment was worth 15 points. Moving forward, they will now be 20 points. We’ve changed the description of our criteria for submission as well.

» face to face interaction = 20 points
» network (text, voice, video) = 10 points

► Also, keep an eye on the applications page. We may be making some modifications to it in the near future.

► The next TDM will be put up October 15th with setting specific prompts to help old and new players settle in.

A RECAP

Six months have passed since Reverie Terminal first claimed your characters. Since then, numerous paranormal activities have occurred that have tested characters’ mettle and perseverance. They’ve unlocked a number of doors throughout the station that have granted them access to new areas: the chapel, the plant area, the command area, the medical & research bay, the library, and the hangar. Deck 7 as well as the station shaft remain inaccessible, but who knows what lies within these areas? The station’s AI, CIRSTA has greeted your characters and made herself known, and a lonely planet below remains in constant sight of the observation deck. Recently, characters and even the station itself have begun to undergo some changes as the Devil calls out over radios. The events on the station will heat up over the next few weeks, resulting in an unforeseeable change. We hope you are ready.

LOOKING FORWARD

With the next mod log on November 1st, we will be reinstating FREE ACTIONS, much like we did with the first log. These FREE ACTIONS will range from minor to severe. Following next month, these will be available on an intermittent schedule to keep things fresh and unpredictable. Choose wisely.

We are introducing a new feature: MISSIONS. Missions are different tasks (which we will go into in a moment) in that these run on the rules of high risk and high reward. These missions will be offered once per month via the task page (which is located here) to suit the setting at the time, which gives all players an opportunity to engage in something relevant to the plot no matter their time constraints or interest! Here is a small overview of what they will look like:

1. Missions will have certain requirements to participate in, such as a necessary knowledge set or physical capabilities.

2. They will have varying slots. Some will require multiple teams, but some will require only one. Team sizes will vary depending on the needs of the mission.

3. Missions will not have guaranteed successes. Pass or fail will depend on some elements of RNG, as well as how well equipped or suited your character might be to the particular attributes of the event.

4. Failures will result in massive to minor losses. These can be physical, mental, or emotional. Massive losses will also receive a “consolation prize,” so don’t be too disheartened. Successes, however, will result in large rewards (so, you won’t just meet the requirements - you’ll get something extra such as a tantalizing clue, a useful item, or so on) or the meeting of necessary requirements without so much as a bungle. Middling results? Well, you can either sacrifice something to push it to a success (though it will be a major sacrifice) or take what you get with some interesting results thrown in.

5. Results must be threaded in some capacity before the end of the month they’re offered in. Otherwise, the mission will fail.

6. More information on Missions will be added and possible Missions for each setting will be updated when opportunities arise. Keep an eye out for them.

► NPC engagement will be increased within the next log. Trusting them or not trusting them might be the difference between… Sinking or swimming, you might say.

► Make sure you’re getting in your suggestions for the planet below on flora and fauna. Anything you really want to see? Hurry up and put it in, we’re closing it on the 31st. You know, just a suggestion. You can submit them here.

► Keep an eye out for more information on what new changes will be occurring following the mid-month OOC post.

► Any further comments, questions, or concerns? Please feel free to contact us.

Below are the AC results for the September AC period.
