Hey there everyone, Azoth here. Just wanted to do another quick update for you all, just to help keep people in the loop with recent update and the status of the reset.
If you couldn't tell, there's still quite a few things I have to do for the reset to actually be completed;
Due to these things still having to be handled, the Reset will not be taking effect for a few days. The main requirement for the reset to actually happen is the completion of the quest board and profiles being approved. That is the minimum requirement for things to start rolling and I am focusing on getting those two pieces finished. The AP Cash Shop can be finished up and handled afterwards; AP isn't going anywhere and y'all have already recorded your numbers down. The crafting system will also not be able to really be used by people until later levels, unless you have a pure-crafting character. If that is the case, then I apologize but you will have to wait a little bit. It won't actually take me long to do the adjustments.
In order for me to complete the Bestiary and Crafting System change ups, I need to do the following;
As you can see, it's all really the small stuff. I'm not touching the bulk of what is there and that has been the plan from the beginning. Just doing slight changes and adjustments has taken me a bit over two weeks. That is partially my own fault for putting things off but it's crunch time and I'm finishing updates relatively quick. I do not expect this to last very long and as I mentioned, once I make a few more quests, polish up that plot timeline mess, and approve profiles, peeps will be good to go in terms of playing again. It'll be like a pre-release type of play.
If you find any hiccups or mistakes along the way, feel free to send me a message and/or point them out to me while I'm around in the CBox. I'm doing a lot of this relatively quick and with very little planning, and mainly going off what I know and what I have experienced. The Quest System is not 100% full-proof and it is not the greatest piece of gold on the planet either. Quest Rewards may be a bit odd but as players pick and feel at stuff, they can be adjusted, as can the REP Requirements from NPCs.
So bear with me guys and gals, doing my best as fast as I can so y'all and get back to doing what you enjoy. d(*-*d)
As always, feel free to message me if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks.

If you couldn't tell, there's still quite a few things I have to do for the reset to actually be completed;
- The Quest Board is currently being finished up and I'm creating a small collection of Quests for you all to do.
- The plot itself is still being put together and I am a bit behind on implementing it, but that's fine because the first plot quest won't actually happen until after players are comfortable with the new system. I won't drown y'all in things to do.
- Archiving of profiles and accounts is being finished up.
- I am building the AP Cash Shop
- I also have yet to touch the Bestiary and the Crafting System.

In order for me to complete the Bestiary and Crafting System change ups, I need to do the following;
- Add Cooldowns to monster skills.
- Remove monsters from regions not specific to Londinium.
- Add Item Drops to each monster.
- Remove non-standard crafts and all previously researched items from the Crafting classes.
