Congratulations to @zachmath15 on his promotion to Head of Academics!

I am super excited to announce that Zach will be co-heading the Academics team alongside myself (HeyLookBunnies). Zach has been an incredible Assistant and has striven to provide a fun and fair environment for the Academics team. From joining the staff team in January 2019, to joining the leadership team in June 2020, Zach has always put 110% effort into what he does for both the team and the server. Congratulations Zach! We're excited to see what you will do as a co-head of the Academics department!

Hello everyone!

Since our last Q&A, there have been many gameplay changes and patches made in order to improve the server. While our Game Design team has many ideas on future additions, we’d like to share them with the playerbase and get your thoughts & feedback. We will also share some sneak peeks of what we have been working on.

The Game Design Q&A will be held on the 1st of August at 1PM PST in the Game Design Q&A voice channel on the Potterworld Discord (this channel can be viewed & accessed only at the time of the Q&A).

Prior to the Q&A, we will be accepting questions from the playerbase via this form. This form will be open for 1 week and will close on the 28th of July at 12PM PST. However, you will be able to submit questions during the Q&A as well. Only questions pertaining to GD will be addressed at the Q&A (please refer to the list below).

This Q&A will consist of sections for each team in the Game Design department. These include:

• Arena Team: This section will cover challenges, tournaments, seasons. This team is led by Salmandingo.
• Inquisitorial Squad: This section will cover community engagement events. This team is led by xAutumnn.

As some of you may know, Potterworld Staff/Team Members have a special week where we have some fun activities for us to do outside of Potterworld responsibilities. We will be having some cool competitions that we will live stream on Discord, and you are all invited to join and watch, as well as hang out with everyone while we host these competitions!

We will be hosting a few of these Potterworld Team-only competitions over the next few days, and we want to give you guys the option to watch as a type of Community Engagement! There won't be any rewards or such, but you're free to spend your time chatting with friends and other Team Members if you have free time! For some of these competitions, you'll have the chance to vote for specific entrees! We will also be editing this forum post after each event with any information you might need, such as: voting forms, voting end dates, and competition winners. We will make updates in #community-updates on the Potterworld Discord after all of the SAD competitions have been complete, so make sure to stay tuned!

For this year's Summer Beach Party event, we're hosting a new competition for our artistic players! You’re not going to want to miss out on entering this competition because everyone who enters will be earning some house points toward their Potterworld house! However, the top three places will be receiving a bit more… House Points AND Potter Points!

In order to participate, you’ll need to include 1 original artwork - a traditional piece, digital piece, or render - that depicts a summer day at the beach! Don’t worry if you’re not the best at these styles, as everyone who is interested in competing can enter. Submissions will be placed in a top-three order: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place!

For many years, art has been a large part of the Potterworld community. Whether it be drawing, rendering, or building, the art community has a wide variety of talents and interests!

To better grow and strengthen some of our server's communities, we have opened an all-new Art Discord! This server is not just for digital artists or renders, but instead for all different mediums. Writers, cooks, modelers, and more are welcomed!

This Discord also serves as a different way for PW team members to interact with players. There will be opportunities for players to get sneak peeks into the creative side of the server (Media & Build), get their work featured in our works such as Daily Diviner, and more!

Click here to join our Art Discord server!

Note: All rules from the main PW Discord apply & individuals will need to have their account linked (do /discord in-game).

If there are any questions, please get in contact with the Head of Media on Discord (sunnya#6761).
