Good day all,
As promised on our recent message, we are excited to bring an update and change to our current timeline for the release of New Day RP. Over the past several weeks (and much longer before it was announced) we have been working diligently on preparing the framework for release day as well as building our In-Character factions/departments and answering non-development enquiries.
The team is aware that everyone is waiting for a release date. We're planning on having an open beta sometime next week, hopefully before the weekend and with a release date to be announced after. Our aim is to make sure that the framework being delivered is functioning with minimal bugs on day one. However, getting to that point is taking slightly longer than our anticipated end of February release date.
The Open Beta is open for any Whitelisted member of the community. Please remember this is an open beta and NOT a launch of the server. After the open beta, there will be a wipe before launch.
We are looking at starting with 64 slots with the possibility of expanding to 128 slots (single server) if necessary depending on the queues. That being said, for the first few days to a week at a minimum the server will be limited to 64 slots.
Right now there are some major features being worked on for implementation, some that are must-haves for day one. For example, we are working on implementing housing before launch, but if that becomes the only thing holding the launch up we will release the server and patch housing in shortly thereafter. Temporary housing (motels) are currently available and have storage.
Some of the things that are currently available to do for money:
We have been working hard at designing an economy that will work to bring life and immersion to the game without sacrificing roleplay in the process. We are aiming for an economy that strikes a balance between being incredibly grindy and being incredibly easy to obtain things. Everybody will start with enough funds to obtain a very basic starter vehicle with a bit of cash left over.
We have also made the decision that ALL players must play characters at least 18 years of age old. This is regardless of if they are under 18 and grandfathered in from Wild West RP.
We have also decided that passive body cameras will NOT be allowed, however recordings created while holding a camera prop and/or video camera (cellphone, actual camera etc) will be allowed. Audio recordings will be allowed under certain circumstances (There will be an item for this). A post further detailing this decision will be released before launch.
