lot 2.9: New Years Update
Happy New Years, LoT!
To ring in 2021, we are officially unveiling the long-awaited LoT 2.9 update! We hope you enjoy and thanks so much for being here to celebrate the site's rebirth! Let's make 2021 our best year yet!
- Yes! Thanks to Middy, we officially have a new skin! With our fresh new coat of paint, we hope to welcome 2021 through a new set of eyes!
- With this change though, there are casualties. The new optimal size for Hover Images is 200x400. But fear not! Contact Middy who has vowed to resize images for anyone who needs the help.
- New board layout. The most notable changes are the return of the Quest Board (which we'll get into down below) and the Library's move into the Site Guide section as a sub-board.
- Project Morgan is officially complete! The information sections have been re-written for better access!
- New character application template! Contact Middy if you need a hand in converting to the new application.
- New site URL icon! Those chickens are up to something.
- With the new skin, we say goodbye to the elusive 1 at the top of the site, who will forever live on as the sole occupant of the old skin. That darned squatter.
- While those who have been on the Discord for some time know this already, for those just joining us, I would like to introduce you to Fish, Lambo and Midnightbloom, who recently joined the Staff team as Moderators and have been instrumental in helping make this update happen!
- New Items and Magic added to the shop
- Trial By Fire, Din's Touch and Stone Armor have been either re-written or replaced in the shop. If any spell you had has been replaced, contact Staff to clarify which one has taken its place. You will automatically earn the new spell!
- Shop has been re-organized so items are ordered based on price.
- The Quest Board has returned!
- In the Quest Board, we have now made threads for each Quest. Procedure remains as it has been, but it's now easier to find exactly what you're looking for! Special Items and Special Pets have been separated into their own sub-boards.
- Helmsaur, Bulbos and Kargaroc Quests have been added to the Special Pets Section!
- The Roles section is now Positions. The page has been overhauled with a new set of positions to reflect our coming location update, while some have been replaced or removed. No characters have lost their positions in the update.
- Position Rules have been tweaked, and everything has been separated into different categories for ease of access. Room for custom Settlements and Guilds has been made.
- The long-awaited system for Custom Guilds and Settlements is officially complete! Check here for more information and feel free to ask Staff if you have any questions!
- Timeline section added to the Library to cover past site events and the site's current season. Still a work in progress.
- The site's timeline has transitioned to a year and season system, akin to Harvest Moon. Each season covers 3 to 4 months, for better implementation of liquid time. We will move seasons as we go, based on site events and activity. LoT will be moving into Winter at the conclusion of the Mirror of Twilight event.
- New Discord avatar as we embrace our new chicken overlords
- Rules have been revamped
Housekeeping
- News bumper update
- We've removed the notification threads for some things. The Discord will be our main method of contact for these, but if you do not use the Discord, you're free to contact a member of Staff on the site for your needs!
- New monsters added to the bestiary. We're also working on re-wording some older entries to look nicer!
- A thread for submitting articles for the upcoming revamp of the Hyrule Chronicle (The Hyrule Tabloid went under, it be like that sometimes) is available in the Library section.
