Another year, another anniversary for Legacy. This year, Legacy turns 18! So Happy Birthday to Legacy!

And of course it wouldn't be a Legacy Anniversary without a few things being mentioned.

-There will be a new banner and a couple items that are a little different than the norm.
-Double Gains week (yes, week). Soon after this blog is posted, you will see the timer for when it begins on your home screen. It will start at 00:01 GMT-0500 (or 05:01 GMT+0000) May 6 and last until the same time May 13.
-sumwish plans on hosting a Gambler's Hotel type event during this time, so keep an eye out in the Games Room for a chance to collect some big winnings

This is a little sudden, I realize. Work has been keeping a majority of my time and attention.

But again, Happy 18th Anniversary!

Due to a set of circumstances, Pie has stepped down from his position as a member of the Volunteer Helpers (VH). The rest of my team and myself thank him for his time with us and wish him the best.

That being said, this means that I will be looking for a new person to fill that position in the future. Applications have been posted in the Main Forum as a stickied thread.

Please send applications via the in game message system. If sent somewhere else, it might go unseen or worse be forgotten about.

I look forward to any applications I receive and will be in contact with those who do not long after the application deadline.

Unfortunately due to various situations, both MattG2 (now named Fridge) and FatTony will no longer be part of the VH (Volunteer Helper) team. Both of their time as part of this team has been invaluable.

That being said though, this also means I will be looking for new VH to take their place. Applications will be posted in the Main Forum via a stickied thread. Any and all applications have to be done via the message system here in Legacy. Not Discord or some other 3rd party software.

Hopefully everyone's new year has started well. Down in the south it has barely been 5 days and we've already experienced 3 of the 4 seasons. So it's been interesting for me so far...

Okay, a few things to go over with this one.

First and foremost: hopefully everyone is having a safe and fun holiday time!

Second (and first notion of official business): as some might already be aware, myself and a couple others have been working on the Game Rules. More accurately, the ones that apply specifically to Legacy itself outside of the Hunted Cow Studios Terms of Service. These rules have already been updated and are available for you to read at any time at the bottom of Legacy.

Next up: on a more personal note, I am fully aware that my absence has been all but unnoticed this previous year. I have been dealing with a lot of things in my personal life and just have not had a lot of time to be around as much as I should be. A lot of that has changed already and will allow me to once again be actually around.

That said on the previous note, I also feel that I should mention that if at any point an issue arises with my Volunteer Helper team, the first course of action should be addressing the issue with myself first. If at that point a resolve to the issue cannot be reached, then you should reach out to Legacy Affairs. Which I realize a lot of people have skipped this step because I have not been around. To which, I will point back to my previous point.

Meanwhile, Legacy Awards is live in the Main Forum, Double Gains is live until Jan 1st, 2022 is right around the corner, and I think I have taken up enough of your time already.

Stay safe and we will see you in 2022!
