Thanks to Will for all his hard work over the years. He tried to quit about 10 years ago and I told him he wasn't allowed, guess he finally got his way.

He will be replaced by sumwish, any issues can be directed to him. Hopefully he lasts at least a decade because I don't have a long list of potential replacements.

Greetings, everyone. Hopefully this blog message finds you well. I am here to inform the community of something that has honestly been a long time coming.

The short version is, as of this day, I will be stepping down not only as Lead Volunteer Helper but altogether as a Volunteer Helper.

I was hired all the way back in September of 2011 and have had many ups and downs when it comes to Legacy. Both with large and small issues as well as with the community itself on multiple levels. I have tried to return to the same level of activity I had many years ago, but every time I fell short. Whether because of issues in the real world requiring my attention or a few accidents that involved me not being able to do anything.

Ultimately, however, this was not the underlying reason why I just seemed to...fade into obscurity and only show up for large-scale problems. I have simply reached a point where I personally feel that I cannot properly manage the VH team or the community the way that it should be or in a way that is fair to said community. I won't bore you all with the details of what I mean. Just let the main takeaway be that I've come to the conclusion that it is time for me to officially step down and let someone else pick up that mantle. This decision isn't because of anyone in particular or issues regarding the rest of the team or HCS itself. This is 100% my decision.

Now what does this mean for my position? I have spoken to Zorg about this, and he seems to already have a plan in place for this. Of which I am sure he will be divulging and putting into place at his earliest convenience at the start of the week. I do not have specific details that I can divulge right now. Just know Zorg is aware, and he will inform you at a later time in the near future.

Just know that despite everything that has happened, the good and the bad, and despite what I might have said in the moment, I have enjoyed the opportunity to be part of the staff/VH team for 14 years. I have also enjoyed assisting everyone with issues that may have come up along the way.

It has been a long 14 years, Legacy. And I will see you guys around every now and again. But as just me.

Happy anniversary everyone! Gift boxes are now live and can be collected from the main page. Thanks again to Faelust for the artwork this year. A platinum sale has also begun for 14 days.

Twenty years is a really really long time. I feel old.

It's here! We've finally hit the 20th anniversary. Throughout the next couple of weeks, make sure you participate in the different games and events that we'll be hosting. Currently the anniversary WW game is live, so if you missed it you're out of luck. Sign ups for Gambler's Hotel will be going up soon so be sure to jump in. Prizes for these events are going to be well worth it!


Some of you are looking at this long double gains period as an opportunity to grab some levels. I've added a couple of nice drops to the loot tables on some hunting NPCs (normal hunting) and I'll change them out for a couple of different items next week. (For clarity, only Markswomen and Gatekeepers have new things added. Crystal Entities will keep their loot table.)


The new WL map is live. Here are the new scores:

1. The Chapter: 1,841,655 points
2. Blade of Dawn: 766,465 points
3. Outcasts: 374,925 points
4. Dark Flame: 287,645 points

Congratulations to TC!
