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!

A late Happy 16th Legacy anniversary to everyone.

Life has been pretty hectic lately to the point that time just seems to creep up on you. So, here's what's going on.

If you head over to Character tab and go to "Main Page," you will find a link to claim your gift box underneath your gang news for this year. Upon using this item you will find your new banner, a new hat, some birthday paint, as well as a dog you can have in your character design. Huge thanks to faelust for being able to make that happen on such short notice.

Also, at the top of the gang news you will notice a countdown. This is a direct indication of when double gains is going to begin. Specifically it will be midnight on Friday 14th and will end midnight on Tuesday 18th.

Again, happy anniversary to everyone and happy double gains.

Hope everyone had a great holiday and brought the new year in in a fantastic way.

So as some of you might have seen earlier when asking for a motivated volunteer, something new is available to the VH.

15:04 [ View ] Will has silenced Zach temporarily.
15:09 [ View ] Will has silenced Zach temporarily.
15:10 [ View ] Will has unsilenced Zach.

The simple version is: this is a new tool available to VH that can prohibit someone from seeing and/or using the side chat (gang chat still works as that is a gang affiliated chat), forums (public only), and chat channels (again, public only).

The extended version is the above but includes: A silence can last anywhere between 1 hour to 24 hours. The purpose is to try and de-escalate a situation before it gets out of hand without resorting to a disfavor that includes debuffs to the player.

I will be going over expectations and appropriate times to use said tool with the other VH so it does not get abused or used incorrectly.

Hope you all have a fantastic day.
