End Game Announcement!
Hello everyone, it's been a while since the endgame vote happened and we'd like to update our playerbase on what to expect from The Games in the coming months.
After taking everyone's opinion into account it has been decided that going forward there will be one mini-arena and one final main arena. After the conclusion of Arena 15, Tribute characters will return to the Capitol for a short period, after which they will embark on the newly revived District Tours as part of the Capitol's attempts to keep the Districts in line.
It is during these District Tours that the war will break out and endgame will begin. When this happens, there will the choice for characters to remain in the Capitol as pro-Capitol allies, prisoners, hostages and conscripted soldiers; or to escape and become part of the rebellion. At the beginning the rebellion will be centered solely under the leadership of District 13 with the possibility of other avenues opening up later depending on character actions during the events of the war. Prior to the beginning of the war we will be posting more events demonstrating the increase in tension between the Capitol and the Districts, with plots based both in the Capitol and in District 13 in the coming months.
This means that with our current schedule endgame is slated to begin sometime in November. The current estimate is for the war to last roughly 3 months with possible extension depending on how things develop, after which (if the player-base wishes it) the communities will be left open as a musebox style rp for those wanting to continue playing out the aftermath and rebuilding of Panem.
A few other points we'd like to address from the gamewide vote for the forthcoming war:
- There will be the potential for characters to gain limited use of powers, the expansion of which will depend on how the first few instances of this being allowed play out.
- We will be opening up avenues for characters to explore the issue of how memories are retained after death, as well as investigate the trans-dimensional mechanism the Capitol uses to bring Tributes to Panem in the interest of them escaping back to their homes. The success of this will be decided at a later date.
We still have a few big mysteries left for long term solving and we hope these surprises will be exciting for everyone, leading into what we plan to be a satisfying finale to the game.
We would like to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for this announcement and hope that together we can give The Games the send-off it deserves.
