PenPals with Ilvermorny


Several students will be making new friends over the ocean. Ilvermorny students are starting to send letters to their new Hogwarts friends. This is a prelude to a trip they will be taking on October 1 to visit Hogwarts. During this time their dNPC will be able to interact with other players in Hogwarts in a matter that is not an owl and should prove to be interesting.

Costume Ball


October is a time for colder weather and all things spooky. This year Hogwarts is hosting a costume ball and the students from Ilvermorny are invited to join. The ball is open to all students, but the players who are participating with dNPCs will be able to bring 2 characters their own as well as their dNPC to this event. Initial Announcement of this Event.

The first Quidditch games have just been posted. We have Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw [Link] and Slytherin vs Hufflepuff [Link]. these matches will be moderated by @Kyle DeRook and @Dan Palmer as their first moderations as well. The score will be tracked on the splash page, but you can also watch the matches in character in the Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw spectator thread and the Slytherin vs Hufflepuff spectator thread. Cheer on your favorite team and players. remember spectator threads have a 200 word count minimum. As for Quidditch players, remember that you have reduced word count requirements to meet when playing in the Quidditch Game to expedite the gameplay for everyone.

Editing of approved content

There have been multiple cases lately where users edited content that was already approved by either the Index or Validation team in a way that goes against site rules, intentionally making the edited content appear approved.

To be clear: you are not allowed to do major changes to an approved backstory or ability application without approval from the Index Team. The same goes for the dNPCs created for Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where the thread explicitly mentioned that no editing of posts is allowed.

Please follow the guidelines mentioned in our rule threads and the instructions given by the staff who validate your content. If this trend continues the staff team will have to take measures to prevent such cheating of the rules, which would ultimately result in taking the right to edit certain posts from the players altogether.

Index Clearing 

This is an official announcement to let everyone know, that staff will clear out the Index two times a year depending on activity. 

What does Clearing mean?
We take out the name of the list, if the user is not active anymore to prevent the list of becoming filled with inactive users. The Index is used to display the list of our students, as such a Clearing is necessary.

What happens when a name is taken from the Index?
The students trunk is being deleted and they will be notified via owl. Should they want to become active again, they may re-register anytime. The trunk will then be restored. The student won't loose any learnt potion or spell.

When will a name be taken from the Index?
Staff will check everyone's activity. One message is enough, which means all you have to do is write at least one message within six months. This message can be posted anywhere on site. 

If you have further questions, feel free to contact staff.
