Second Week of Sunbright
- Season of Harvest-
Hello friends! We apologise for the delay this month.
Welcome to the July edition of the Hollowworld Newsletter! We have a few updates this month, happy reading!
[ SERVER UPDATES ]
EVENTS,
The Server Campaign is nearing its last Arc. Players will be seeing publications of more lore and interacting with more things before things are revealed. Players are free to make 'Event Requests' for their own catered events if you haven't experienced the campaign, though it may be similiarly themed as the current events happening that have happened. I hope the campaign has been enjoyable, even if it's been briefly interacted with. I know it's been a struggle for those in the GMT timezone to be involved at all. [ x ]
[ x ] The Precursor Arc nears its Finale: https://hollowworld.co.uk/forums/the-precursors.729/
[ x ] The Inquisition and Company pursue a new series of events: https://hollowworld.co.uk/forums/in-pursuit.760/
[ x ] The Arc of Thieves has been Cancelled: https://hollowworld.co.uk/threads/cancelled-aot-arc-overview.54138/#post-818437
[ x ] Those in the Nightmare Arc of Jishrim should be seeing an ending near. This is a smaller arc for the individual Blessed involved.
[ x ] The Player Event Requests are still continuing to run, though many events have been slow to pick up and schedule. If you feel your event hasn't been noticed, send Solus a message to discuss it. https://hollowworld.co.uk/threads/event-request-thread-ii.53069/
LORE,
Arcane - Mages have been allowed higher capacity for spells with additional slots. With gestalts (Spell combos) coming out very soon! Arcane rankups should be a little easier and not so dependent on spamming spells We will continue to see updates in the coming weeks!
Crafting - Ornamentalist profession is out and a third specialization is unlocked craft your hearts out! If you believe your rank should transfer over from smithing please make a post [ HERE ]
Vyres - Vyre cure type Gravewalker has seen a massive overhaul!
DIVINE,
The Divine team may have some slow responses for a short while whilst Lannis adjusts after moving IRL, but with the newer members we've kept up with rank ups and most ticket responses (some will need Lannis' thoughts and we apologise for the delays on those). Additionally after the Sallana 'renewal' we've also opted to look into the spells overall and allow for players in Divine Convention to give thoughts on unused/underused spells or problematic ones and see what we may change them to. The Sallana spells and Skraag spells have now been released, with others to follow.
SERVER OUTREACH,
The brand new Server Outreach team is here! You can read up on all the info here, some specific projects this month include:
[ x ] The SL Dailies: A new way to inspire day-to-day RP! Check out more information [ HERE ]
[ x ] The Restoration of Faith Arc - a new SL arc to restore the Cathedral, check it out [ HERE ]
[ x ] A new Forum Team being implemented to aid in the restructuring and ease of access for our forums, see [ HERE ] to join!

... and so much more! Stay tuned as we continue on.
GENERAL;
As we reach the middle of the summer, we look forward to our campaigns that continue, the ever-growing community in HW, and the establishment of our new Server Outreach team. Recently, we sent out a survey to all of you to fill out your feedback and thoughts, and know that it has been heard! More info on this shall be coming in the future. We continue to add new plugins, including a new market plugin and a brand new HC plugin that allows you to mine items in the world and yield HC materials.
Staff wise, we welcome Kostadim and Catalyst to the Server Outreach team. JennyBean has also stepped into the Server Outreach team to help out. Ced has joined the Lore/Arcane team to help out with custom spells! IceandFire has been promoted to an Admin and will lead the new Server Outreach team. We congratulate and welcome them all.

the quality of the material for the craft itself is what determines the point base.
