Salutations everyone!
As mentioned in January’s Server Plans, we’ve been hard at work bringing the First Year Experience back onto our main world. We’re excited to officially release this new, revamped First Year Experience today!
Updated First Year Experience (FYE)
The new First Year Experience brings the start of your journey through Hogsworth back onto the main world map, allowing First Years to bump into other Hogsworth students and graduates throughout their early progression. As well as bringing this onto the live world, we have also upgraded the experience to match our new progression system and introduce other content that has been released since FYE. Here’s a full glimpse of what you’ll see:- Updated Quest: First Year Struggles
- New Quest: A Story of Points
- New Quest: A Leap of Faith
- New Quest: What’s in the Bag?
- Updated Quest: Garden of Magic
- Updated Quest: A Piece of Cake (formerly Magically Delicious)
- Updated Quest: Your First Brew (formerly Prideful Potions)
- Updated Quest: Up Up and Away
- Updated Quest: Looking into Space
2.0 Update
While we are excited to be releasing the FYE, we’re also excited about the progress that we’ve been making on the 2.0 update. Back in January, we showed off some of the new models that 1.18 has enabled, and our library of textures has only grown since then! With these new textures, we’ve been continuing to revamp some classic locations throughout the world:Grand Staircase

Our Herbology and Potions professions systems have also been growing since the previous announcement, and we’re nearing a state on our backend where we can test these systems more thoroughly and start integrating them with other components. Once these are complete, we’ll be moving on to prototyping the care of magical creatures!
As always, we would love to hear your feedback! Whether it be on the new FYE or our progress on 2.0, you can share your thoughts via Discord or the website forums.
