TRANSITION FAQ.
Futurology will be re-opening its doors on 15 January! We will be opening returning character reserves on 1 January. Applications for returning characters will open on 4 January, with applications to the general public opening on 6 January. We're excited to have you all back! HATHAWAY? WHAT HAPPENED TO ALASTAIR? For the sake of a clean slate with no history behind it (and an easier organization for new characters to jump into), ALASTAIR has been dissolved. Hathaway is made of mostly old ALASTAIR members, but is a new organization with a new purpose. HOW DO RETURNING CHARACTER RESERVES/APPS WORK? Reserves and early application times are for returning characters only. Only characters in game as of the end of the November Activity Check will be eligible. If a current player wishes to apply for a different character (or bring back a previous character), they will be able to do so when applications open to the public. This system is in place to ensure that no current characters will be locked out of Season 2 if a player wishes to continue their arc. ARE MY CHARACTER'S MEMORIES WIPED? Nope! Think of this as a direct continuation of Season 1. It's just Futurology, new and improved. WHAT ABOUT MY CHARACTER'S SEASON 1 ITEMS/POWERS/PETS? They're all still there! Please be sure to include them in the inventory section in your app, or they will not be available. HOW ARE NEW ITEMS/POWERS/PETS EARNED? We have removed the bonus AC bank and replaced it with an updated bounty board system, so any new items, powers, or pets will need to be gained this way. Due to the shift in systems, there is currently no way to gain or regain items from characters' home worlds; bounty rewards are only received from the mission worlds themselves. CAN MY CHARACTER GO HOME/EXPLORE THE UNIVERSE AND THEN COME WORK FOR HATHAWAY? They can go home, but it will be treated as a canon update -- they will retain no memories of their time in ALASTAIR until they come work for Hathaway. This is to avoid creating an AU. If you want your character to retain their memories in their homeworld, you must perma-drop. WHAT IF I DROPPED IN S1 AND WANT TO RE-APP IN S2 WITH MEMORIES? As long as it wasn't a perma-drop, you're welcome back! Characters who were perma-dropped in S1 cannot come back in S2 unless they are re-apped with no memories. If you dropped normally, you can assume your character fell through a rift for a "canon update" and was later approached to join Hathaway. DOES MY ALASTAIR VETERAN GET ANY PERKS? Sorry, nope! Hathaway is a new organization, despite having many former ALASTAIR members. OOCly, the purpose of the new organization is to make it easier for newbies to become integrated into the game without the organization's history weighing them down. DOES HEADQUARTERS HAVE A MAGIC KITCHEN LIKE OSKA? Nope! There are many restaurants available if your character would prefer to be served. Otherwise, there is a grocery store and each apartment is equipped with a kitchen. |

If you are planning on apping a new second character, you will need to wait until 6 January when apps open to the public. This is to make sure everyone apping a new character is on equal footing!
