Welcome to Sanctuary of Dreams, an Alternate Universe Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts centric roleplay site. If you've been with us since the beginning, thank you for hanging out with us, and if you're new to the forums, thanks for stopping by! Hope you stick around for a while and see what we have to offer here!
This announcement is to make a note to everyone about all the work we've been doing behind the scenes and on the surface of Sanctuary of Dreams. In January, events were set into motion that caused all of us in the Staff to want to give the place a fresh coat of paint and oil the gears to get things moving again.
List of Topics in this Announcement[/b]
- Character File and Passphrase Update
As a part of the "oil" on the gears of the site, I've made a small change to the Character Save File (Application) password. Before, we had a two word password that you could get from reading the Board Rules, which is general guidelines for what is acceptable on the boards, and Character/Roleplay Rules, which were guidelines for what we expected from posts and character applications.
NOW, instead of a two word passphrase, there is a four word passphrase. The details of how to find the new words are already in place on the templates and the new words are already in their hiding spots, however, since this is an update, I'm going to go ahead and give everyone fair warning that "One Sky" will no longer be accepted as the passphrase. You'll be asked to go back and look again.
The rules in four areas have been updated, reformatted to a small degree, and the passphrase words have been added.
Board Rules - Nothing much has changed here; some rephrasing and clarification.
Battle Rules - Added some guidelines and rules about Combos and come clarification about when the battle system must be used.
Character/Roleplay Rules - Not much has changed here. Just some clarification and rephrasing as well.
Inventory and Journal Tutorial - Added a few bits to make it clearer why this is mandatory.
They should be of a moderate difficulty to find, but not extremely hard if you read.
- New Skin and Currency!
There have also been some more obvious changes to the site:
Be sure to thank Lightning when you see her for the awesome new skin!
As well as a new skin, you'll notice our currency has changed. We no longer deal in "Munny" but in "Gil;" and where it was "2 Munny per Post" you now receive "5 Gil per Post." With the reset, you should have automatically gotten the correct amount of Gil for the number of posts you currently have. If you were owed Munny from the Tournament in January, I went ahead and re-added the lost currency to your account. If you had any other questions about money, be sure to drop a post in the Suggestions and Feedback board, where someone will get to your question quickly.
- Plotline Update
The final change I want to make a note of is the change of the Plot. I'm not certain if everyone has noticed yet, since I haven't asked anyone to do so, but if you'll look at the Plot thread, it has changed. There were several reasons for this change and all of them have been taken care of with the change. I still have the goal that this plot is going to be Character/Player based, meaning we will still be circling the plot around you guys, but we changed the theme a little bit to better serve those needs as best we can.
We've had a bumpy road the last month but thank all of you who have stuck by us and kept us motivated with your interest in this place! We couldn't have done this without you guys!
