Characters who haven't met the five comment minimum for AC (and aren't on hiatus) will be listed here. If you're given an AC warning, you have one week (changed!!!) to either get activity or talk with a moderator. People on AC warning will be required to specifically submit activity to the comment header below; the mods aren't going to go looking for you.

Characters who joined the game in the last month are exempt from AC Warning, as are those who have been or are on hiatus for more than two weeks.

Game Updates

As you were: Contrary to previous expectations, there will be a small amount of original content for the next dungeon event, Memoria Fields. Please look forward to it in mid-February!

I haven't actually seen Solo: As you may be aware, Claire has left the Phanrift mod team in the last month! As a result, Nael is running the show alone, so please forgive any slowness in responses! If you'd like to help out as a part of the mod team, please drop him a message.

As always, questions and feedback are welcomed below!

And now, the weather;

February 5-7th: Clear skies. The snow melts away, except for a few places that are in perpetual shadow (behind buildings, inside the lighthouse ruin, etc).
February 8-10: Clouds, occasional sunbreaks.
Feb 11: Icy rain.
Feb 12-15: Largely cloudy. Occasional flurries of snow that don't stick to anything but the metal railings around the deck.
Feb 16-17: Clear and cold.
Feb 18-20: Cold snap! Still clear outside, but chances are that you don't want to be out in it. Windy and frozen. The paths between the station buildings are littered with the mix of warm crystal gravel from the Bellmare paths, but otherwise you're on your own.
Feb 21: Cold snap breaks. Slightly warmer than usual temp (just above freezing at night).
Feb 22-24: Light snow.
Feb 25: Clear, but too cold for the snow to melt.
Feb 26-28: Starts as freezing rain, turns to snow late in the night of the 26th and continues to pile up until the afternoon of the 28th.
Mar 1-3: Chilly but cloudy with breaks. Snow starts to melt away.
Mar 4-5: Abnormally warm; snow melts away entirely.
Mar 6-8: Return to more seasonal temperatures. Cloudy, with occasional flurries or rain.

Game Updates

No more failures!: Based upon mod discussion, the dungeon failure mechanic is being removed from the game! Phantasmal Rift has grown and changed in ways that weren't anticipated when the game's info pages were originally written, and as a result we no longer feel that this mechanic suits the game. Everybody breathe easier now. FAQ and related pages will be updated to reflect these changes in the near future.

Monthly meme?: The mod team is considering shuffling the typical order of game memes around (hence why the handwaved CR meme has been removed from this post). We're looking for a meme to fill the space between the CR/OOC intro meme and the test drive meme (1-2 weeks after this post) - if you have any suggestions, please let us know under the comment header below!

Cities Alight!: Based upon the IC poll, the next expedition will be to Incendia, the flame-shrouded city to the west, across the lake from Amesta Forest. You're still free to continue discussions on the poll post, however! More information on this dungeon will come in the following weeks.
