I hope you realize that if you release those two close to each other, or on the same day, that I will literally have a melt down and not be able to do anything? (I may be a bit excited for both of those, but only just a bit) (and if you believe that, I Have a few bridges to sell you...)

@Yiqi it's just encouraged. Aequorin mentioned that it's fine to use other methods, there's no consequence or account penalty or anything for doing so.

Not bad.
Though, some of the changes will have to be in real action first to see how they will actually function.

[quote name="Serpenthyne" date=2017-02-16 06:32:46] A couple of questions: You say that the Weekly Q&A will become Ask the Team! with a greater focus on lore and site content. The Weekly Q&A sometimes answered gameplay questions that seemed better suited to a place like the Help Forum, where new players could find the information they needed from other players – information they didn't need to get from the devs directly. Will Ask the Team! perchance direct new/confused players to the Help Forum for answers to their gameplay questions, rather than spend time reiterating answers when that time could better be used giving insights on FR's lore? Secondly, with the new forum for personal quests and such, should I assume I ought to move my post from the Quests and Challenges megathread in FRD into this new forum? Or will the megathread remain? [/quote] @Serpenthyne, for your first question, there are times we feel providing an official [i]Flight Rising[/i] team answer can be helpful. We'll keep keep an eye on this. The megathread will be moving over there a little bit later today (lots of threads to move!) but yes, you can pull your personal challenge out of the mega and make your own.

I never participate in auctions, so I can't really say much regarding that, but it's nice to see a specific dom forum, now ^^ And I am really happy to see that the forum and message center have resizable text fields; I've been wanting that for a very long time.

Nice- still hype for the updates to the coliseum and the auction house like no other.

I think the suggestions for auction running are nice- not particular to my taste but it's a great idea to offer for the community and to people who want to make sure they're getting paid appropriately and in a timely manner. (:
Considering I sometimes- and I'm sure others- don't particularly have the items necessary at the exact time of a bid (I normally purchase gems the day of or prior to an ended auction to pay up) it would hinder me to enter some auctions, but it's a great safeguard.


Edit//

Auctions got moved to the Raffles + Giveaways section..? Yikes- not a fan of that :/ Auctions aren't like raffles and giveaways; and they're likely to bump all actual raffles and giveaways to lower pages (i.e, less recognition) due to the popularity and overzealous posting of auctions.
Not a fan of this change at all.

[quote name="Yiqi" date=2017-02-16 06:33:12] Is the new auction ways mandatory or only encouraged? I quite like the way it is now. I understand silent auctions for those who are picky about who wins or if the bidder likes to remain anonymous, but this significantly changes an entire dynamic of auctioning. [/quote] @Yiqi, as we said these are recommended guidelines. We encourage players to follow them but they are not required.
