✧ The Path to Astral ✧
They say no one just finds Astral Paint.
You become the kind of player who earns it.
It starts in the dust of the Wasteland. Every step, every skirmish, every point earned in blood brings you closer.
Most stop there—thinking control is enough. But that’s just one path.
Then come the Raids. You show up, pull your weight, fight side by side with the few who still care about the grind.
Somewhere in the rhythm of victory, another piece reveals itself.
Still, it’s not enough.
So you hunt. Out where the Hive creatures roam and the loot is light, you stay anyway.
It’s not for the points—it’s for the one that matters. And when it shows, you’ll know.
Even then, Astral stays just out of reach.
But if you’ve kept at it—really kept at it—you’ll notice something.
A quiet signal, a moment you’ve seen before but never looked at too closely.
A Boon, earned without warning.
Do enough. Be everywhere.
And eventually, the blueprint finds you.
Astral Paint can’t be rushed.
It waits for those who do it all.
If you’re asking where to begin…
Start where you usually don’t.
*The full path to Astral Paint will reveal itself in time.
Pieces are already in place—but not all doors have opened yet.*
Yes, graphics have been completed.
Yes, Astral Paint is technically in the game now.
But is that the full release? Is this the final stage?
Astral Maul
Happy 20th Anniversary
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.
