So, since the update last month, we've made a lot of progress, and we're very near completion. The Star Wars section has been updated with a lot of the new lore, as has the ES, and we've mostly tried to avoid the mess that is Fallout 76 wherever possible. The Rules have been updated with some new features, such as Thread limits and Discord etiquette.
The only thing we've talked about doing at this point is adding a couple of 'FAQs' to the hub thread, but for it to truly be an FAQ, we'll wait until people start asking questions about why we've set up a setting the way it is, or why certain rules for the setting are in place.
Beyond that, Bethesda released a map for Northern Elsweyr/Anequina just as Dawg had finished up on the basic map for the RP locations. I'm not sure how much it matters and I'll leave that up to Dawg for whether or not she wants to change anything. The settings will evolve anyway as new information comes out, and we'll shift so that when they do people can try to make use of them if they want (Such as changes from ESO, Rise of Skywalker, The Mandalorian, ES VI, and hopefully after the failure of 76, Fallout 5 sometime in the far future.)
With that out of the way, for those of you that want to start restoring your characters, now is a good time to do so. We'll be sending out messages/emails to everyone who used to be on the site to invite them back to get things in motion, and perhaps begin advertising the site properly once we've allowed time to sort through the dead characters.
As an additional note, please understand there's going to be a little bit of an update required for the characters after the photobucket mess, that way we can clear off their ugly watermarks on everything and re-familiarize ourselves with what we used to approve. As most of us have come a long way in our writing abilities since we last created these characters, it might be a good idea to review your own histories anyway.
And as always, once your characters are back in the approved section, you're clear to go (although you'll have to wait for everyone else first too!) Juts keep in mind we have a limit to how many threads you can participate in now, and if you want to start a new one you need to have sign ups for it first.
