Present Zelpha

[Yliatas_Timend]

Alright, so some of the admins are trying to shrink the sheer size of the rpg...to save space. We are also doing a few changes to the rules, but until we officially announce these changes, carry on.

Rp as usual. It's only the look of the rpg that is changing at this stage to make it look less...intimidating. XD

-------------------

RPG Alignment rule has been removed.

----------------

Just so everyone is aware, the history is getting revamped. However, current Zelpha has been around for 3000 years.

...

Yes, we did cut it by quite a lot. History is under construction until further notice.

---------------------------------------

No more applications/profiles for Unknown Celestials or Elementals will be accepted.

Also, no more story character profiles. All active profiles are in profile section. Inactive in old profiles section. NPCs remain in NPCs.

I've edited things here and there, most of it is just wording so nothing really changed. I did add on more to the RPG Rules & Fact, but none of it is what I'm sure most of you didn't knew already.

-----------------------------------------------------------

More stuff added to the RPG rules thread, mostly information. I added currency, languages, weather, plants and animals, and technology to the information portion of that thread.

Most of them are pretty short and hopefully gives people a better understanding of Zelpha.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I added links to all subforums.

The Board rules have been re-written. It was a must as the old ones lack proper spelling and sounded kind of mean. D:

The punishment system may change.

I added more to RPG rules, but again, most of us already know unless you just recently joined. I may add more as things come to me. The thread is there mainly so if you are unsure about something, you can check it and find out.

I don't think I've made any other changes...

Oh wait, not true.

I noticed some RP forums lacked the quick reply. All forums have it now.

Forums where polls are allowed, votes can now bump topics.

Pretty sure that's it...

Revamp continuing. Sorry for teh delay.

------------------

Profile outline edited. Advantages/disadvantages removed.

Zombie subrace removed. Replaced with Cyborg subrace.

There are other pending changes to the race topic. I'll keep you all updated.

[Drake]

I upgraded our cbox, it auto-refreshes now. You guys are welcome. >.>

[Drake]

Regions topic is now finished. Take a look, it's much more helpful and informative.

[Drake]

Races Topic: I finished updating the humans. So if you have any human characters, be sure to look at the topic and choose your new race accordingly. Although all these groups are humans, there are a lot of distinctions that make them different!

[Drake]

Race Topic: Pasvie and Aquanauts are updated, no divisions, so if your character if of that race, there is no real big changes, but you should still look. Finished Untamed, so those with Untamed characters should check that out and select a new race from the list.

[Drake]

Race Topic: Elves are done. They've gotten new names, mostly, so to translate:

Elvaan = Silvians
High Elves = Eldalótë
Drows have kept their name.
Night Elves = Kaldorei

so update accordingly if you have Elven characters!

[Drake]

The Races topic is now complete! I'm gonna start on magic soon, or religion. But I'm worn out so I'm definately gonna take a break from working on the rules.

[Drake]

Magic topic is done, go look!

Yliatas_Timend has let us known a few days ago that she will be retiring from Zelpha. Until further notice, the Holylands forum is closed (archived) and we won't be accepting any new Celestial characters. Please give Yliatas the respect and privacy she deserves; even though she is still an admin, she will no longer be actively involved in Zelpha and how it runs. Thus any questions should be directed to either myself, SD, or MR.

I finished my guide and stuff, yay~

There may be typos and some inconsistencies... And if you come across them, please tell me.

If you have suggestions, complaints, or questions, contact me.

I understand some things sound crappy, then will be fixed next year... or later.

I will work on the city maps maybe next summer.

I may fix things up around then too.

I'm pretty much done for the year with that stuff.

As for my characters... Well, here's my to-do list

- Map of Serdio and other nations (notice how I have a map of PE? Yeah)
- Finish Brinly and Regia
- Start on my plots for some of my characters. Speaking of which, I'd love it if others join me.
- I may not be fast with the replying as school starts on Thursday for me
- In December, there will be a new layout for Zelpha

And... That's all my tired brain remembers right now. I think I was going to say more... oh well!

To the races topic:
In the human section, I added a cultural equivalent, listing a real ethnic group, such as the French or Spanish that relates to one of the Human groups. This is mostly for cosmetics, and aids when creating a human character, esp. when it comes to names, although it is not binding. The other races lack this section as they are much more fantastical in their cultures and can't be as easily 'summed up' so to speak. Otherwise, no major content change so no need to re-read the topic.
