IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Hey everyone; first off, I'd like to apologize things are a bit late and not quite going as I'd laid them out last A/C announcement. My mom had a stroke on Sunday and the week before, my grandmother ended up bedridden so it's been pretty hectic! Both are fine so no worries there, but there you have it.
Anyway, Kuu and I have discussed this heavily for a few months now, and I'm afraid we've decided to close Holy Relic down for a few months. Yes, it's only for a few months, and I'll be going over the changes with you-- but we will be re-opening and I'll detail the stipulations for everyone!
As you all well know, HR has been pretty dead and Kuu and I can't single-handedly keep the game going. We don't have enough people actively tagging around, participating in events, posting, and so on and so forth. There's a large lack of interest in the game itself and the standards we've set, which is both a difficult and tricky problem that requires a hard reset.
When Holy Relic comes back, it'll be bigger and badder and better than ever. We're going to improve the story and premise itself, work on better and more interesting events, and up the standards we've set for the game. Apps will be a bit harder, but we'll have a higher quality set and hopefully a higher outside interest in response. And, not entirely unrelated, the coding will be prettier as well LMFAO.
So what does this mean for you? Well, some summer downtime I'm afraid. We'll be deleting all past entries to clean up for a fresh start when we re-open the game, so PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SAVE WHAT YOU WANT TO KEEP! Allow me to bullet list:
Some new features we'll be implementing are pre-created guilds for a variety of interests, more over-arching and darker plots, and a few other surprises; so hopefully things will pick right back up!
Thank you, everyone, for all of the time and effort you've put into Holy Relic. I'm really sorry we're going to end up closing on fairly short notice, but it's all the quicker to get things back up. If you'd like to go ahead and drop, feel free to quietly remove yourselves if you'd prefer, or stick around and track the OOC community for when we make the reclaim announcement! We couldn't have lasted over a year if it weren't for you guys! If you have any suggestions whatsoever, feel free to drop them here and we'll definitely discuss them and consider them heavily for the new HR. ♥

So what does this mean for you? Well, some summer downtime I'm afraid. We'll be deleting all past entries to clean up for a fresh start when we re-open the game, so PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SAVE WHAT YOU WANT TO KEEP! Allow me to bullet list:
- Old characters can be kept. You'll have first dibs and won't need to re-apply, and you can change their class and canon point if you'd like. This will be decided shortly before re-opening, not now, to make sure interest is fresh.
- CR can be kept. Memories will be faded and fuzzy, and it'll take a lot of effort to recall things that have happened, but you will be able to, and your character will have a faint recollection of people they've met before that can bloom into a more detailed memory.
- THREE event items can be kept! If you had some favorite costumes or items from events, you can pick three to keep.
- Levels will only be halved, not reset! All that hard work you put into your character will still pay off, at least a little bit. Levels will be halved upon reset so that they can remember and help others.
Some new features we'll be implementing are pre-created guilds for a variety of interests, more over-arching and darker plots, and a few other surprises; so hopefully things will pick right back up!
