Game
Game completed another round of races testing this week with the Tech Department. The plugin commands and leveling up system have been 100% configured and tested. The race abilities are 75% configured and tested, so once that is complete, the final step will be balancing. Regarding the new map, Game worked with World and Direction to improve the quality of some bo2s and develop the spawn (in-progress). Our new aspirants underwent initial training, and the usual 28 player tickets, numerous help chats, Essalonia cleanup and restoration, and naughty player investigations were completed. Players can expect parties at Kit PVP and a routine Gauntlet challenge for rewards to arrive on the server as well.

Quest
Quest this week focused on quest coding, quest installation and debugging, meetings, and localhost plugin testing. Specifically, Alj23 focused on continued quest coding, along with quest installation and debugging on the test server. Testing of a few plugins was also done on a localhost server, with the intention of creating additional immersion for questing. 

 Also, the Quest department is actively recruiting! The Quest department is responsible for the in-game questing experience, which involves writing storylines, transferring storylines into quest code, and then inputting that code in-game for debugging and quality assurance testing. Along the way you’ll also create NPCs, WorldGuard regions, MythicMobs, and exciting environments, and overall let your creativity flow. Additional detailed information can be found at https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Staff:Quest . If this sounds interesting to you, we encourage you to consider making an aspirant application here on the forums by visiting the “staff and community feedback” section. You can also contact Alj23 or Derpadillo with specific questions.
