Community Update
Hello friends,
Cafe and company here to provide you a status update on our community’s development. Over the past few months we’ve taken a collective break to focus on our lives and recuperate. Recently, we’ve fully resumed this project and we’re excited for the near future. In this announcement I will briefly explain what each team is working on and what our future looks like in simple terms.
First, I’d like to officially clarify that we consider Realms of Echoes to be back in Alpha Development. This is a new beginning, a real fresh start to cooperate with our revamp of the entirety of the server and its content. Essentially everything is changing. Our community will become entirely new from what you’ve been experiencing before. This is our passion project and we hope to be able to share and build it with you into something truly unique. Even if you can't see it, we're working almost daily behind the scenes to rebuild, rewrite, create, and deliver something unique and inspiring for us all to enjoy.
You are invited to continue to take creative liberty to roleplay here. Join the server and run around, make posts on the forums (or to engage in forum roleplay), and continue to use systems that are already in place until they are replaced. Please refrain from using systems that require an application (like magic) unless you have an approved application or preexisting permission. Remember, you can always @ask-for-roleplay in #ask-for-roleplay in Discord.
Would you like to become an active contributor to our server revamp and the overall project? Join Staff! All teams (excluding Moderation) are open and accepting applications. Share your interest in joining one here!
