Safaia has stepped down as owner of the Pridelands, giving it to me, Quaji. This change will come with a number of IC and OOC changes as I work to get the pride back up and running smoothly, streamlining processes for all of us and making sure that the pride is set up with modern information as much of it has not been touched for upwards of 10 years. Right now, there are a few changes that have already gone into effect.
- Ranks have been expanded in their duties. Three ranks have been retired in preparation for the future. These ranks are Soldier, Guardian, and Champion. Characters with any of these ranks may keep them for the time but will be required to choose a new rank in the future as they will no longer be supported by the pride. There will be similar ranks introduced in the near future to fill the void for characters who thrived in these roles.
Information on how to earn Limited Ranks has also been added to the Rank Information thread.
Royal Ranks have been formalized and added to the Rank Information thread. Throughout the Pridelands' history, these ranks have been undefined and never explicitly written down. Using information found in all three guilds and ranks used by other members of the royal family, the ranks have been written out.
Breeding Approvals have been changed. No longer will you be required to ensure your Member List post is up to date, instead we will require just that the parent(s) are on the list(s).
Users will now be required to post litter information. Failure to do this may result in breeding bans for the character(s). There is a new form in the Joining & Updates thread.
Joining is no longer restricted! SoA are now able to join the Pridelands with no restrictions or requirements in place.
Lastly, the Pridelands has a Discord Server! All major events and updates will still be posted on GAIA, but smaller things such as help with matchmaking, roleplay searching, places to show off your Pridelanders and just general chatter happen there. I hope to see you there!
