Special Exceptions for Summer Y0
Summer brings a bunch of fun! Which includes exceptions to rules and restrictions around the site. Basically, during Summer of Y0 (Early Summer, Mid Summer, and Late Summer), some of our limitations are lifted in the spirits of boosting population, activity, and content on the site. After summer is over these limits will be re-instated.
Here's what you can do extra in the meantime!
Create mutated characters - within reason. Feel free to make a few characters with strange eyes, or one of our approved mutations. So long as the majority of your characters aren't mutated, we can work around it. We want to honor that mutations are generally breed-only, but this can help introduce some mutations to future gene pools! If you make too many we'll gently say no more.
You can make native characters! - Native characters are those that were born on site. That means they've always lived in one of the areas on the map, or at least lived there before opening day. We encourage these characters to be a bit out from the desert, so that things kind of naturally progress as our new arrivals move inland. There's no limit to the number of home-grown characters during opening season.
Enter with a pack - If you have a group of characters that are native, or who are coming in together, they can be a Troupe! If they have enough members, they can be a pack. This will help us get some groups going for opening as well. Native packs can have a territory right away. Entering packs will need to wander until they find one.
Make babies! - You can have your characters reproduce if you'd really like to. Other than removing the requirements for conception, you're still expected to follow other rules regarding reproduction. They can either enter the game pregnant during this period, or do the do with someone they find. Each player can do this with one dam so that we aren't overdoing it though!
