For the first time ever, we are opening the Grounds Keeper applications to the public. We are very excited to welcome new Grounds Keepers onto the Tech & Dev team and we are very excited to see your applications. Applications will remain open until the 10th of January, 12pm PST. See below for more information on the role, the requirement, where to apply, and some new information about other applications from the Tech & Dev department.

The role and requirements
Grounds Keepers are the bug testers of the server. They are responsible for testing and logging reported bugs, and are also tasked with testing new gameplay content. Grounds Keeper applicants must be at least 16 years old and level 70 or above on the server. Furthermore, they must have access to Discord and own a personal Gmail account.

Where to apply?
For more information and the application, just check out the application here. Please keep in mind that we will not be answering any application until after the 1st of January as most of the team will be on a holiday break.

Other applications
We are sure some of you might also be interested in becoming a developer. We are happy to announce we will be opening this application to the public some time in the future, but we most also unfortunately add to that it will still take a while. To make the developer application ready for the public, a lot must be done in terms of restructuring the department. We aim to release more information by the end of quarter 1 of 2021.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message the Head of Tech & Dev on Discord.

Kind regards...

Speak to the Headmistress just outside of the Great Hall to ride a Giant Storm Petrel to the event. Meet the school’s professors and students as you explore the stunning Japanese Castle.

Uniforms
If you would fit in amongst the other students at Mahounoshiro, you can get your own uniform for yourself with one of our downloadable bases for feminine & masculine presenting students! We’re excited to see you coordinate with the Mahounoshiro students at this year's Winter Waltz!

Quests
In your questbook, you will see a new icon for the Winter Waltz Event. This will be accessible throughout the entire event, and will be disabled after the event ends. Upon completing quests, you will be rewarded Snowflakes! All of the quests are at Mahounoshiro.

Repeatable Gameplay

It brings me great excitement to announce that SysterTM will become the newest Head of Griffins! Syster has been in Griffin for as long as anyone can remember, and is a Griffin through and through. She shares all the values that the Griffin house is about. Her bravery is like none other, and she has come so far.

Congratulations Syster! We're so excited to see all the things you'll be doing for your house as the new head

Note: This is not a head-staff position, and is only a role-play title.

Greetings everyone!

We have completely redesigned our hub, it is now much simpler, contains some cool images, and overall more friendly for all players. We want to take the time to explain the reasoning behind this!

Looking at the data, we noticed that a great deal of players actually don’t completely understand the concept of a hub. They walk around, and get lost, and don’t understand the item in the middle, despite the messages. Some players clicked on the house points NPCs, expecting something but got confused. Others played minigames, lost because they don’t fully understand it, left and never came back.

Most of our players walked around the hub to explore once, and then that was that. This huge world only became a one time thing that players noticed. Decorating it for seasonal things, like Winter, Halloween, etc. became a huge time consuming task.

This new hub has a space dedicated for the logo of the server, seasonal store advertisements, and a map of the world behind from where you spawn. It only contains one NPC, and that’s it.

We completely understand if you find this new hub a bit less cool, but it was designed to be a simple area that would act as a gateway. We will look into adding a parkour (or maybe enabling the old one) if we ever maintenance again for a long period.

We hope you enjoy this change! Thanks for reading everyone. We hope that you guys enjoy the rest of the year, and remember to continue to stay safe.
