<t>I posted the previous message here in Sparkle, wanting to give the community<br/> an opportunity to respond to, process, and deal with emotions on this issue<br/> collectively and in community here within the game. So much seems to take<br/> place on the out-of-game forums or private message netw...

<t>Hi Everyone,<br/> <br/> I am posting to inform the game that within a week or so, the Vampire and<br/> Bloodguard guilds will cease to exist in Genesis. Between now and then,<br/> a free-exit option will be given to all members. Those who do not leave<br/> before the guilds close will be removed ...

Oh, Bravo! Bravo!! (hee hee!)

<t>Esteemed fellow Genesis enthusiasts,<br/> <br/> Thanks to Mercade, it is now official that *any* circumstance that causes<br/> you to lose experience, be it by death, leaving your guild, or otherwise,<br/> will from henceforth trigger death recovery-like potential for regrowth.<br/> <br/> Thanks ...

<t>Petros said it pretty well, Ilrahil. I'm not playing at anything. I gave a<br/> very businesslike and informational response to Otalkum's questions.

<r>Friends of the Donut,<br/> <br/> The Genesis Census has been expanded so that the hourly snapshot not only<br/> counts the total players online, but also records which guilds they<br/> are in.

Among the most<br/> curious are the various cycles of day and night which are completely<br/> different from one another as one travels...

<t>Esteemed Community Members,<br/> <br/> Since first becoming a member of the Admin as AoP, I have held to the<br/> notion that pvp is a matter that can and should be handled entirely by<br/> the players. After all, it is your game to enjoy how you wish, and if<br/> the game allows it, then so do I...

<r>Genesissians,<br/> <br/> Though never formally announced, through various events and word of mouth<br/> the community has for the most part come to know of the restructuring of<br/> the Mercenary Guild in their new guildhall south of Sparkle. While more of<br/> a total rebuild from scratch, the r...

Fellow Genesis Enthusiasts, It has become customary about this time of the year for me to offer an analysis of progress in the game - a State of the Donut Address, as it were. We'll begin by looking at graphs and tables that track the playerbase, followed by an analysis of these data. Then, I'll wr...
