CALENDAR ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi, guys! We've received some concerns about waning momentum in the months before Season 2, so we decided to make this post to address them. As a side note, we encourage all players to come to us with any concerns they might have! We always appreciate getting feedback from a direct source.

One of the suggestions was to reach the S1 conclusion sooner and open S2 earlier than originally planned. The completion of the current arc is necessary to bring us into Season 2 (it's all connected!) so we can't skip it, but we can attempt to speed it up a little. However, there's also the problem of December -- the holidays are difficult, and we can't re-open the game during them. We've tried to come up with a schedule that will work for everyone, though, which we've detailed below:

OCTOBER 12: Return to Oska log.
OCTOBER 19: Mission dossier drops.
OCTOBER 21: A season finale plotting meme is posted.
LATE OCTOBER: Endgame part I log.
EARLY / MID NOVEMBER: Endgame part II log.
NOVEMBER 18: The last HMD of Season 1 is posted.
LATE NOVEMBER: A more concrete timeline from then until the opening of Season 2 will be posted.
EARLY DECEMBER: Season 2 info pages go live.
MID DECEMBER:Season 2 Test Drive Meme goes up. It will be game canon, but will not be required. This will allow for players who will be around to be able to start playing without a long wait, without making it required for players who might not be around. We understand this is not ideal for all players, but given the difficulties of the holiday season, it seemed the best compromise we could come up with without having to open S2 in February.
EARLY JANUARY:Reserves for returning characters will be open for 72 hours, allowing all current players to ensure that no one else apps their character. Afterwards, applications will be open to returning players only for approx. 48 hours before opening to the general public. This is subject to change, but is the current guesstimate.
EARLY / MID JANUARY: Apps will close and a CR meme will go up. A few days later, we will put up our first log of Season 2.

If this schedule looks acceptable to you, the players, it's what we'll be going with. Don't hesitate to let us know your thoughts! We're posting this because we want to hear them.
