Direction
This week, Direction focused on auditing [[REDACTED]], crate projects, lore reworks, plugin curation, and individual direction.

• LumosJared focused on the upcoming Sihndar rewrite, staff complaints (and the new policy creations based off said complaints across game, lore, and other departments) as well as individual direction.
• MonMarty hosted lore events, managed the recent Estel-related religion changes, handled financial paperwork, and individual direction.

Game

• New vote crates are now live! Though they aren’t all completely full, new items will be added soon. Check them out at /tp Crates.
• Keep an eye on Essalonia World Spawn, FortPresford for some exciting changes!
• Game, PR, and Lore have begun updating pages on the main website. Once complete, we will ask the community to report any errors or issues they find.
• Kingdoms and MassiveVillagers are still in need of an extensive code review before release.
• New Gauntlet Levels are complete. We will be teaming up with Quest to get these out soon!
• With an assist from CS_BIRB, the end portal can no longer be used when combat tagged.
• We are looking into combat tagging portals made by players.
• QGMK aided players, infestivated players, performed testing, handled appeals and reports, worked on FortPresford, reviewed proposed Races and Sieges documentation, and coordinated website updates.
• skhosh answered help chats, aided players, handled war declarations, worked on FortPresford, and built Gauntlet levels.
• Sevak answered help chats, aided players, hosted a MassiveRaces staff meeting, created items for VoteCrates, proposed changes to MassiveRaces and upcoming Sieges, and worked on FortPresford.
• Effloresce_ aided players and performed testing.
• BlueChaos created and tested MythicMobs.

Lore
Lore Updates:

• https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Nature_Art_Category#Husbandry_Art
• Animal Husbandry is done!
• Regarding the Estel Discussion:
• Create a Faith of Estel understanding of the Exist as Estel’s original source dimension, but not exactly link the Exist into the Estellian Faith, just establish it as “something” that Estel had a relation to once, but is irrelevant to the modern interpretation of the religion.
• Clarify further on the Faith of Estel page to nuance the interpretation of the Void, so that the Void isn’t so explicitly badly interpreted in the Estellian Faith.
• Speed-dial the Dimenthist Page by adding tons more content to exactly clarify how pervasive the Void/Exist theory is, in how far it has permeated to cultures and religions, and what it is exactly tested and true.
• This should all create some clarity and solve some plot holes. It may still require a small amount of changes in the way Exist Com tends to roleplay their pro-Exist stance when it reflects on Estel, but that should be relatively minor.
