Progress Entry #6[break]
Woo! Work and school have been kicking me in the butt, but I'm so excited to say that most of the guidebook has been completed! Membergroup info has all been moved over, and now I finally get to smash my face into making all those boards and locations for the site!
[break][break]
The magic system is still underway, but a majority of it is finished and its just going to make me a while to also move everything on that over to the site. We will probably miss the open by September deadline, so now I'm hoping for a mid-September launch for the site beta.
[break][break]
Also once again, here's our main discord server. Still very much a WIP, but it's getting there with new channels and roles being added very soon!
[break][break]
What we aim to do:

[break]
[break][break]
Fix up all the site links! And fancy up the discord!
[break][break]
Finish up building all the site boards!
[break][break]
Other setting up threads and submissions!
[break][break]
Decide on my own character concept (i wanna rp on my own board too :sob: )

[break]

Progress Entry #5[break]
Ah it's so exciting to see real progress being made!! [break]
[break]
Finally, all the major guidelines and faction information has been completed, so begins the process of moving everything over to the site itself! However, it really does take a LONG time :sob: I've been rereading and reediting everyone over again as well, trying to make it without any major grammar errors as possible, I'm praying to the grammarly gods LOL [break][break]
The magic system itself is also nearly completed! Again, the emphasis is basically to do whatever you would like with an additional stat and progress system behind it.
[break][break]
However, as I know that a lot of people like a freeform, do whatever I want kind of setting, we have basically made all system and magic rules optional for almost all potential threads. All you would need to do is label your thread as a [Non System] thread to have all magic system rules be discounted. These would be somewhat limited, as site events would still have to be system or game based, but any other individual character canon or development is free to be system free if you would like! In essence, it's there for people who want it, and also not there for people who don't.
[break][break]
Also since I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, here's our main discord server. It's still a WIP, with some channels still needing to put up, but we'll get there eventually.
[break][break]
What we aim to do:

[break]
Transfer everything over!
[break][break]
Fix up all the site links and main profiles! And fancy up the discord!
[break][break]
Finish up building all the site boards!
[break][break]
Decide on my own character concept (i wanna rp on my own board too :sob: )

Progress Entry #4[break]
Oh geez, to be honest, it's rather hard to define most progress when it doesn't really happen on site, but instead a lot of backend stuff. Also, work has been kicking me in the butt. A few more organization things have been written up, namely an event system some general guidelines. There's going to be major site events mixed in with player submitted and run events, since the team is very small and managing events is always a hassle when done by a small team... (past staffer experience PTSD)
[break][break]
Currently aiming to finish all the site factions information! The idea is that it's set in a very large 'United' Kingdom, so Ixoria is the overall Kingdom, but there is a couple of smaller major states within it. Also, there will be other Kingdoms beyond the main one, but the site is generally meant to focus on the single Kingdom itself. Don't worry, there is still plenty to do!
[break][break]
The systems handbook has basically been finished! I won't say it's not a learning curve (any rp power system will be), but overall I think it is rather easy to pick up on within a reading or two. It is a ranked progression system, from D to EX tiers. You have four stats that that have a letter rank and the average of these ranks leads to your overall character rank. Spells and ranked abilities also have single letter ranks. Your average character Rank determines the highest rank of spell you can use. Characters can actually start as high as A-Rank Canons, but the grind:tm: to the top is still fairly long. I'm personally not against the grind:tm:, because this is going to be a stat progression RP, but the idea is that you can start pretty powerful, then to get to those legendary tiers, it should still take a little bit of time and development. There are options to start lower, and the build up is naturally faster at lower ranks compared to higher ones.
[break][break]
And for character progression, there's planned to be a kind of 'endgame' or 'event' based shop for people who well, once you've reached the top, what do you do? The idea is to keep active community engagement beyond just progression, so you can buy things like pets or titles.
[break][break]
Besides ranking, there is also a spell/action creation system. But again, it's meant to be simple as possible (I stress upon that because personally, I'm always a bit intimidated by seemingly complex systems and etc). And really, it's there to prevent abuse of power to meta-gaming the system and for those who just really want to go nitty gritty on the PvP aspect. (I am not one of those people personally LMAO) Hey, if I can understand the system well enough, then you can do it too!
[break][break]
What we aim to do:

[break]
Review and finish the factions and geographical locations! (Still the most grueling aspect of putting a site together) [break][break]
Transfer EVERYTHING over to the site itself. A lot of it is all in google docs, but I can basically say it's about 90% all there!
[break][break]
Fix up all the site links and main profiles! And fancy up the discord!
[break][break]
Give everything that 110%!

[break]

Progress Entry #3[break]
Quite a few things have been done! What I consider the most time consuming has been started, mostly in that of setting up boards on the site, writing blurbs and in general some organization! Site rules have mostly been finished, with a few more systems to be polished up. We have had a player handbook in the works, that in-depth explains the combat and spell system we have going on. The site itself will focus mostly on PvE, but a majority of the rules and system mechanics also cater to those who may be PvP inclined. Our Discord is slowly growing and well, a majority of that also needs to set up more too LOL 

[break][break]
What we aim to do:

[break]

Finish up Faction Descriptions and Geographical Locations (as well as ad them all to the board itself) [break]
Finish up some lore bits regarding Kingdoms outside of Ixoria and the 'realm' at large. The main focus of the site will remain in the singular Kingdom, though planned expansion to include others if there is interest. [break]

[break][break] 
Meanwhile, thank you again everyone who has shown interest!
