IMPORTANT: Regarding the game's timeline system + Helper mods wanted!
Greetings Gems,
There has been an ongoing issue for quite some time now regarding Cosmographia's timeline and the system of dating posts, mainly that there are many players who do not understand how the system works or just barely understand how it works enough to get by. While other DWRP games such as Court, Kyriakos, and Aather have used this system, we have numerous players saying it's very unorthodox and that they dislike it.
There have also been concerns brought up over players being unsure how in-game days relate to actual dates - for example, is Day 118 also September 12th? The answer is no, the game exists on its own separate calendar, though one that currently isn't established anywhere as we've begun to see the problems with that when players want to know what calendar day or month it is in-game.
So we are now asking for input from the playerbase regarding these things, mainly:
-Should an IC calendar be established for player reference that connects the in-game days to actual dates?
-Should the game's timeline/post dating/IC:OOC day ratio system be modified or changed altogether?
Feel free to leave a comment with your opinions as well! Thank you!!
Also, we are now looking for some helper mods to assist with certain duties, particularly when our current mods are occupied with real life or other commitments! If you'd like to offer your services as a helper mod, please contact Freya, ToraNova or Gena! Our contact information is over at the mod contact page! Thank you once again!
