Alright, been a while since I've done one of these so a few things to go over. Fortunately I took the liberty of doing a tl;dr for those who hate reading at the bottom.

1) The Warfare point shop thread in Main is still open to suggestions. If you haven't checked it out already, be sure to do so. I plan on adding a bunch of things that will rotate in and out on a weekly basis. All of which will be 0T, so keep that in mind as well. In the future we hope to add a feature to limit the number of each item a person can purchase so they don't effectively crash the market on said item(s)

2) A small update on the ticket situation. I'm well aware many people don't use the ticket system because long story short, the response time to them was horrid. I have since been able to rectify this and have tickets approved at least once a day (minus weekends and days off).

3) As per rollin340's last (two) blogs, I made a request a little while ago that regular wasteland chat be logged. This was due to the fact that to many people became aware that it was not logged and used this opportunity to bash and harass other players, because they knew nothing would ultimately be done about it. Now that it has been confirmed that it is being logged, hopefully that will curb this behavior. If it does not, then feel free to report it.

4) Also per rollin340's previous blog about ALL WL chat being logged, I requested that whispers be taken off of that list. They are whispers for a reason. And chances are if the person is in your gang, they aren't bashing you that way.

In short: another way to spend wfp in the future coming soon, ticket system is more reliable, normal WL chat is logged, whispers in WL are not logged.

Just a heads up that double gains is now live. Thanks to a slight error when I looked at my calendar you guys get an extra day (you can thank Zach and GAGANB for pointing it out). This will go until the 8th at 08:00 AM EST (or server time).

As a reminder, this event will give:
-Double exp from fights (both PVP and hunting)
-Double item xp (armor, weapon, AND misc)
-Double warfare points
-Double honing exp
-Double job payout (but not job rank)
-Double energy per hour (400/hour)

And one other reminder:
Buffs you get from books or purchase do not stack. If you have the energy boost you will gain 440 per hour. But you cannot get 4x job payout and so on. So do not use these buffs during this time. You will unfortunately lose out on the benefits from the buffs.

So, have fun and Happy Holidays!

First and foremost, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays all!

Don't forget to get your goodies from the Advent Calendar on the Main Page underneath your gang news.

Onto something you will be more interested in though.

First, I think it has been long enough and we need to have another Werewolves game. This one will most likely be hosted in the in game forums. But at the same time, the offsite forums are an option. I'll be asking from time to time and during the signup thread which people would prefer.

Please note the signup thread is not open yet as the game will be after the holidays. So I'm waiting in the hopes that people will remember it at that time.

And secondly, like I mentioned at one point, we will be having a double gains weekend after the holidays. I am currently planning for the evening of the 4th of January until the morning of the 8th. Why the odd start time? Because I go to bed and wake up at horrible times. So I figure a few extra hours will be fine.

Why the large heads up? Because platinum buffs, book buffs, and boon shop boosts do not stack with double gains. So whatever you're using should wear off by then. So during this time, please refrain from using books with boosts and purchasing various boosts that are effected by double gains.

As a reminder, Double Gains include:
-Double energy per hour (400/hour)
-Double credit payout from jobs
-Double WFP gain
-Double item experience (from attacking, defending, warfare points, and even honing)

Stay safe and have fun!

There is a new vote up for a little feedback on the Scavenger ability. Be sure to vote. A thread will most likely be created in the Main Forum for a discussion on it.

I would also like to remind everyone of a few things.

1) I am the Lead Volunteer Helper (VH). Meaning any actions that my VH take that you feel are unjust or unwarranted should be reported directly to me via in game messages. Side chat is not the place to air out your grievances against them as that is against the HCS ToS as Staff Harassment and it will be handled as such.

2) Mods and Guides are lead by the Community Admins. In this case, Wolf and Neltharion. Anything that goes on with Mods or Guides goes to Wolf or Neltharion before me. If the person in question feels they were treated unfairly, they can just as easily come to me and ask me to look into something.

3) The conduct on side chat is progressively getting worse. This is due to things not being reported. My VH and myself cannot be on 24/7. That is why all 5 of us have an "open message box" type of policy. We have no problems handling a situation that is deemed inappropriate, whether it be abuse, harassment, or just flat out toxic behavior.

Please keep these things in mind for in the future.
