@Ostaff I worry that my insurance company will not cover pet sitting. Might be a bad mix between being a milk sales man and pet sitting at the same time.

As this is a fantasy game, i'd do the things that I've always wanted to do IRL to make money.

Door to door milk sales man.
Light bulb repairs man.
Book Tester.
Pet Food Tester.
Pet Food Critique.
Judge at Fractured's Got Talent.

@PricelessShingle54 prolly just using it as a place holder/reserved post.

@Vidrik
this inspired me to run a competition.
who knows if we'll find more star crossed lovers in this game.

Write up a Fan-fic/Lore and win a key!
Reward: Adept Key, 1 winner (possibly more)
Deadline: 25th of June, 23.59 GMT +10

There is not much lore about this game, the dev has said so himself that they haven't gotten around towards working on the lore and literature of this game yet.
Perhaps this competition might inspire some of their design/creation, and lore of the game, next thing you know you've made a lasting impression on this game! ~who knows~

I am sure that some of you are quite interested in lore as well, and I've even seen some of you write beautiful description and background stories for your characters.

With that being said, write up a good fan-fic, fantasy and story about how/why the 'planetary divide' happened, and the cultures that evolved due to this.
Create characters, cultures and stories that revolves around the world of fractured.

Think of this as if it were a 'spoken history', of tribes and cultures that passed on their historical knowledge of events.

Heres a few things that might help you:

1. Watch the Q&A and FAQs as the dev has mentioned some interesting things about the world of Fractured, you can incorporate this to your story.
2. Use the wiki as it provides good information about races, gods(dieties), alignments, etc,.
3. Use forum resources such as maps, commonly discussed knowledge/information as inspiration or part of your story.
4. Incorporate your guild or its history into your story! get creative.

Key selection criteria:

1. Accurate to the world of "Fractured MMO"
2. Original/Creative (Nothing is new under the sun, but get creative and don't plagiarise. I WILL USE TURNITIN.COM IF I HAVE TO.)
3. Clear understanding of their theme (Know the theme of your story and not jumping around from one idea to another)
4. Minimum of 800 words.

I won't add too much restrictions as I would really love to see peoples creative juices flow.

The winner will receive an Adept key, and if I liked more than one story then I guess we'll have two winners!
Hell, if I really really liked your story to the point that I am super engaged with it, I might even gift you an Eternal membership (might).

There is no maximum word limit, however I would insist on an 800 word minimum, which is expected of a short story. Just remember that a well written story doesn't require 3K words. If it gets the point across and engages the audience, it's a plus.
I really hope that we have a lot of participants, otherwise we'd have to cancel this competition which would be a bummer.
If we do not reach at least 10 participants then I suppose i'd have to cancel.

The reason why I won't be using 'votes' as a method to choose the winner is because guild members or people that are well known in the community could easily flood the votes, and that people can easily make an alt character to swing the vote to their favour. I want to give every creative mind a fair go!
I will choose the winner upon the merits of their creative writing skills.

Post and reserve your slot so I at least know if you're interested.
Deadline is on the 25th of June, 23.59 GMT +10, it is flexible by 12 hours and the winner would be announced within a week of the due date. I do have to read them after all!

This will not help raise your odds by any chance. As I've said before, and I will reiterate this once again - The winner will be chosen upon the merit of their creative writing skills.

Just because we're not seeing whats happening behind the scenes right now doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't progress

There's actually quite a number of progress since I joined (last alpha test), and at this point in time it seems that the devs are analysing, implementing necessary changes, and preparing for the next alpha test scheduled for the end of the month, they are also quite active in the community, it's just that it is a small team and on a different timezone, therefore it's not so apparent to people that they are active.

In reality, there is actually a lot going on behind the scenes

and i know some people would comment that they don't see the Devs much playing during testing and thats because they have their own private server/offline server that they test the game at.

I actually run my own game/private server (different game; details aren't really necessary as i don't like to 'poop where i eat' so to speak), and whenever I do my own tests i conduct everything on a private/offline server and away from my game community. Sometimes when things are being done behind the scenes, a lot of players complain that I have no presence in the game but when my 'tests' and development is done, they forget what they were complaining about and get back to the game, and then the cycle repeats itself.

With that being said, it is normal for games particularly in their Alpha to be super quiet or have "slow" news release cause programming/testing things take a lot of energy, then editing news/articles would also be quite taxing once you've done so much. They are a small team after all.

Expect 'slow' news but be active in the community as we typically hear some unofficial news before they go official.

edit: grammar error, anti spam won't let me change 1 character.

Reading the comments here has a very 'long lost lover' feel to it that cannot wait to be reacquainted and feel each others warm embrace as they bliss off into the sunset, with the birds singing tales of their passion and romance.

Do you have any adblock or any chance? someone had a sort of similar situation but with FB share. Might wanna turn off your extensions.

@Hilgard

depends now big the house is, there are different plots with different sizes.

if I remember correctly, there were 3 stages to house building.

1. Foundation stones (requires boulders) - they're very common within the game so theres nothing to worry about when ti comes to looking for em.
2. Foundation pillars - requires a fair bit of wood planks, common as well.
3. Walls - requires lots of wood as well.

What I'd suggest you do is to make sure that you have some cotton/turn into cloth (forgot the actual name) before you travel with the intention to make a house cause it is one of the requirements to make a hand cart. moving building blocks would be easier then.

The entire process would probably take you an hour or two, If you have people helping it'll naturally be much faster.

There was also a Q&A suggesting that different type of stone and wood would give a different appearance to your house, some are supposedly rarer than others or on a different planet.
