ANNOUNCEMENT: Third Anniversary of Heroica RPG

[Sandy]

Greetings, fellow players of Heroica RPG!

Our game has run for three full years this August, and thanks to that belongs to all of you. These past three years have been an amazing experience for me as the creator and manager of this game; to see something that came from my own head thrive and evolve into an experience enjoyed by over a hundred people is beyond incredible. The best part is that there's no end in sight!

Of course, Heroica RPG will end at some point, as all things do, but for now we don't have to worry about it. The community is still alive and kicking, the quests we have created and participated in number in well over a hundred now, and we are still experimenting with new things to make the game even better.

Now, I have a few announcements to make:

- The annual

Anniversary Lottery

has launched. You have until the 10th of August to sign up to win some amazing in-game prizes.

- The following people have earned the right to bear the awe-inspiring

Heroica Tag

for their contributions to this game in the past year:

emjajoas

Flare

joeshmoe554

Kintobor

Pyrovisionary

The Legonater

Congratulations, and a heartfelt thank you for everything you've done - and will do - for this game! The same thanks go to everyone else who are already boasting the tag.

- Recently, there was discussion about the second character that dedicated players could add into the game at some point. It was suggested that the method of gaining said character would be changed. I am happy to announce that now

you can add a second character

if your original character has

participated in at least 15 quests

(no matter if it's successful, failed or cancelled - and individual trips to the Fields of Glory are counted as well) or you have

hosted at least 5 quests

yourself. The character must start from Level 1 with a basic job class, but there are no other requirements for the second character anymore, they can be whatever you like them to be. That means some of you may create your second character today, if you wish!

- A

Heroica RPG Wiki

has been recently launched to store information about the game in an easily navigatable form. Please check it out, register into the service and help us fill it up!

That's everything for now. For the years to come!

It has been an honour, playing this with you guys over the past two years, and hopefully many more to come!

[Khorne]

Can't believe it's been three years already that this exists. Thanks to everyone for playing and the QM's for churning out those awesome quests, of course!

[Flare]

It's been a great three years! Thanks so much for the lovely Heroica Tag

[Palathadric]

Damn! Missed those tags. I really need to get a quest rolling.

[Kintobor]

Look everybody, I got my Cutie Mark!

Thank you, Sandy for organizing the game for these past three years, and thank you to everyone on the site! You guys are an awesome bunch!

[Cutcobra]

Yay for anniversary! I'm really glad to be a part of this community.

Damn! Missed those tags. I really need to get a quest rolling.

You and me both. I want something shiny too!

Three years is truly an accomplishment. It says a lot about the quality of the game, and the people dedicated to supporting it.

[Actaeon]

Three years already? It's gone by so fast! Seriously though, this has been so awesome! I've only been here for 2 months, and I'm totally loving it.

[JimBee]

Happy anniversary! I love being a part of this community and it's been a very fun three years.

That's really good to hear! New players are a big part of what keeps this going. It's not easy establishing yourself when the game is so full of lore and characters and an already-established player base, but I'm really glad when new players just keep trying and eventually become prominent characters. Purpearl and Matthias have both become fleshed-out even though they've only been on a few quests, and brand new characters like Actaeon are already starting to impress!

So: keep it up!

Happy Anniversary!

[Kintobor]

Sandy, I don't want to sound impatient, but is there any chance that the individuals who earned the Heroica tag will be seeing them in their signature soon?

My apologies, Dragonator promised to get them up soon. I'll poke him about it, in case he forgot, but as you know... Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus.

Clearly you've never played the monster Hunter series, because doing that is the entire point of the game.

It's always great to see some fellow QMs get recognition, though!

[Dragonator]

Congratulations to the following people who have recently been awarded the Heroica Contributor Tag for their stellar contributions over the past year (or longer!):

- emjajoas

- Flare

- joeshmoe554

- Kintobor

- Pyrovisionary

- The Legonater

Well done to you all, and I hope that you honour this award by continuing to make exceptional contributions to the Heroica RPG!

Naturally dragons are notorious for acting in their own time as the months pass quickly for a creature with a lifetime spanning many centuries, so within the month is still quite timely!

[Flare]

Thank you Dragonator!

[Pyrovisionary]

Thanks man!

[Emjajoas]

Thank you very much!

[The Legonater]

Thanks Dragonator!

[Kintobor]

Hehe! Thanks, Dragonator!
