Our general timeline is looking like February is for working on shit behind the scenes, with March being when we have a period to reclaim your characters + a TDM + likely reserves and apps, with the game ideally reopening on April Fool's Day because that's hilarious timing and I didn't realize it lined up like that before now
It'll still have coherent plot (granted without nearly as much direct interaction as before, unless we end up with a volunteer mod team of an appropriate size to do so down the line), including events and happenings both inside Wayward Pines and outside of the fence.
Applications will (I'm 90% sure) retain the same format, but the requirements for each field won't be nearly as insane for y'all to have to write, nor will app review be even 50% as strict or time-consuming on our part.
There's a possibility of doing bi-monthly application rounds too, to minimize the frequency of the app rush and intro stuff, but we haven't decided one way or another on that one.
We'll be doing a 'hey, check this place out!' plurk with an actual link and such once we've gotten all the pages and such squared around are heading into March. Keep your eyes peeled!
