Oh it's been a while since I've done one of these. Mostly because I haven't had anything that really needed to be posted for everyone. Until now.

Due to various circumstances, Wolf is no longer part of the VH team. He has been part of my team for a really long time and his assistance will be missed.

And shifting gears, I don't believe I will be taking any VH apps at this time with it being so close to the holidays so a lot of people are not fully paying attention to what's going on with Legacy.

Stay safe, have fun, and a Happy Holidays to all.

I did not forget about the apps and the new VH. However, due to the sheer number that I received it was a much more difficult decision than normal. So I wanted to sit down and really go over everything to see who would potentially be the best fit. And after about 2 whole weeks, I think I have reached that decision.

Again, this was actually a really difficult decision to reach since every app sent to me was unique in its own way and was well thought out. However, the two (yes, two, not just one) who will be joining the Volunteer Helper team will be Pie and Matt (currently known as OC3rdPlace and will have his name forcefully changed).

The positions for the VH will be changing a little bit, but overall nothing will ultimately change.

Wolf has been with me the longest and is typically on the same thought process as myself. Not only this but he has often been referred as my #2 for a while. So he will officially be listed as the Assist Lead VH

Connor will take up a new title while still overseeing Community related issues. Which include the forums and clans still.

Pie and Matt will receive their official assignments in the near future once I get them fully setup.

Thanks to everyone who applied for this position.

First things first: I would like to thank Aaron for his time and service as a VH. He will no longer be with us, but he is still appreciated.

Second: I have decided that it is high time that Legacy Affairs be brought back as a service available to players if they feel that VH are abusing their powers and that it is not being properly handled, they can contact a member of Legacy Affairs (LA) to look into it.

LA can be requested to look into a situation if a player feels that a VH's action or inaction to a situation was not properly handled. This can be done either directly to a member of LA or via the tickets system by request.

Another year, another Halloween.

As most of you are aware, I'm sure, as per Bongo's last blog, his spooky NPCs have returned. See his blog for more details.

On the flip side to this, Halloween outfits should be released either tomorrow or in the near future. Worry not, I will go as far as setting up an hourly reminder for Zorg to give everyone their sweet threads. Just don't try to eat them (cuz the outfits aren't actually sweet...)

Also, I'm sure most have figured this out, but the old Halloween terror, Shadress, will be plaguing us with her presence. She has since gained more power to be a threat to even the most seasoned warrior. Keep in mind she is only interested in fighting those who are supposedly "powerful." So she will only attack those who have attained Avatar status. Anyone 79 or below is safe from her wrath (unless you want to be brave and attack her first).

And shifting gears for a minute. Your favorite newbie Admins (Connor and MattG2) will be hosting a couple of events. Including:

-A spooky story corner (costume optional)
-A Halloween Costume contest (both in game and real life?)
-An Awesome Hour (potentially specifically themed for Halloween and spookiness? Undecided)

More to follow as they post the official threads in the Main Forum.

In closing, be safe, have fun, and beware the spooks!
