So, after about a month of hard work, we've got SWU back up and running.
Thanks to those of you who drifted back while we worked and for dealing with our mess as we set things back up.
To those of you who are back (or those who are new!) we've got a couple of changes to introduce:
1) Character bio standards have changed. That is to say, we've relaxed. We want the process to be as simple as possible for everyone involved.
2) We've got a new stat system. It's point-based and puts everyone on a more even playing field, and removes the subjectivity of the old system. And it's optional. More information on that here.
3) The plot has advanced. Specific details can be found in the Story Thread, but the plot has advanced seven years. The Republic and Sith Empire are in a state of Cold War, and criminal syndicates are vying for dominance over the Galactic underbelly. To go with that, we've updated the Galaxy Map for the site as well.
4) We've got a discord server now! Link is at the bottom of the page. Feel free to jump in.
5) We've got a new coat of paint! That's probably the most immediately noticeable change. With this new skin, our avatar options and some custom titling options are different. Here's how the new categories align. Click on them to enlarge.
Do note that the resizing can be a little finicky, so you may want to do your best to pick or crop pictures to fit with the general size of the spaces so they fit in properly.
So take some time to look around. All of your old characters are still here, in the Archive section, and you're welcome to update them.
While some small things remain to be handled here and there, we've gotten the reboot to where we want it to be. Welcome back to all who return, welcome to all who are new, and enjoy your stay!
