Content Changes Foreword: We know the Sihai Update became much of a meme as years went by, the always "To be released when ready" or "It's being worked on" response whenever it was asked drawing much ire. With a heavy push, recently the document has been finished from 14 pages up to 26, which is by far the largest race update and single largest content ever created for Aloria's lore. We hope the players feel the wait was worth it, and that the content justifies their position in the world, as a "world within a world" with a history entirely separate from the rest of Aloria, yet interconnected, and opening the way for future developments of the mysteries of the world through the connection of the Aether and Naether to the Void and Exist. Sihai Rerelease https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Sihai 26 pages of content. Honestly too much to process onto an update thread. Everything is remade. All Sihai characters will need to be rewritten. Proficiency Updates https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Proficiency Added Maximum and Minimum Height tables to the Proficiency Sheet Added Eastern Blades to the Proficiency Sheet Updated Dwarf Proficiencies to use OR choices. Updated Isldar and Kathar to use OR choices Updated Yanar to use OR choices Updated Maraya to combine all races and then use OR choices to make the list shorter Updated the Allar to combine all races and then use OR choices to make the list shorter Removed Valuur Orc Proficiencies from the sheet, they now default to Orc Summarized the Varran races and used multiple OR choices to make the list shorter Clarified that racial Proficiency boosts and buffs do not factor into Body Stat Added a Body Stat boost (not Proficiency boost) to races who deserve one, so that their Body Stat calculations do not start at 0 Loosened a lot of Minimums and Maximums of both Body Shape and Body Fat, while also summarizing a lot of races together to make the information easier to process. Most Proficiency numbers are backwards compatible, but some changes may occur (Cro-Allar for example lost a second Unarmed bonus in favor of a different OR choice). Remember that if your total changed Proficiencies is less than 10 on your app, you do NOT need a re-review and can just ask to have it re-approved. For now, we will not demand a re-review of apps or require players to update to the new Body Shape or Body Stat number minimums and boosts. The old format is still fine for existing apps, but players are allowed to change to the new boost-based system with wider minimums and maximums. With the Sihai release being final, we have finally come to the end of 7 years of race reworks, with every race up to standard of modern expectations, and requiring only periodic content updates to provide additional content. Nobody should ever have to fear getting their race or character wiped out from the lore. We are content with the race lore as is now, and always will be.
This is the most exciting part of this thread. Way to go lore team, and three cheers for future long-lasting and uninterrupted timelines!!
