Hello, marosians! Most of you have noticed that many golems and fae have received a special blue event last week before lockdown. Well, due to in-game events, the fertility of both golems and fae have been tampered with: golems will now be able to have up to 3 children per pregnancy, and fae now also have a maximum of 3 children per pregnancy!

You'll also notice we have now added a line to all racial guidelines on the maximum amount of children each race can have at a time - so the information is now available in-game.

Cheers

Features, bug fixes, and updates done since our last patch notes in August! We're still easing some new mods in, so there might be some staff rotation, but for now, we're welcoming Lyri and NeonRose onto the mod team! Many thanks to Paul for his help and enthusiasm as he steps back from mod duties.

If you wish to contribute to staff, please do put in reports, and we'll keep you in mind when we're open to new mods next! Onto the patch notes...

Feature Updates!

A great big welcome to all of our newer players! Hopefully you've been finding your feet in Marosia and seeing what the game has to offer. If you're a bit stuck, then here are a few reminders for things you can do.

1. Write your characters' description. This can be done through clicking on the 'character' button under the 'Actions' menu.

2. Try to stay in your starting town. It can take a very long time to travel between towns on foot, and this can be very boring by yourself. It is best to stay put and try to make a few friends first.

3. If nobody is roleplaying with you, then consider having your character whisper to someone active in your area - introducing themselves and asking for help. This can be done by clicking on their name and hitting the 'whisper' button.

4. If you are still stuck, then please do not hesitate to reach out to staff via a report or Discord.

Here's wishing you luck - and hoping your character has a great story ahead!

Hi all, we are currently advertising the game so there will be an uptick of new players and first time characters. Please try to be patient with them, and remember to put in a report if you think they could benefit from staff reaching out.

Remember we were all new at some point and new players is how we keep the game fresh, so thank you in advance for being welcoming and taking the time to engage with any newbies.

Hi Marosians. Staff are going to go ahead with applying tierborn bans more liberally from this point onwards as this is what the majority of players would like, and it is something we are in favour of as well.

You should not be playing a tierborn character after the age of 8 if you cannot commit to them until adulthood (aged 16). You have 30 days to put them up for adoption from the ages of 5 to 8 if you need to.


The following is what you need to know:

- If a tierborn starves under the age of 8, then the char is put up for adoption and the account receives an automatic tier suspension for 6 months

- If the tierborn starves between the ages of 8 and 16, then the character will die and the account will receive a tier suspension of 6 months

- If players request staff kill their character between the ages of 8 and 16, then the tier suspension will be reduced to 3 months

- If tierborns die for other reasons between the ages of 8 and 16 then this will be examined on a case by case. We strongly recommend you put in a report if this might apply to you


To players of parents - please put in a report if you think your tierborn is just simming (not rping and only working on levelling up) until age 16 so staff can see if a suspension is appropriate there, too.
