I have created a new system to bring news to trainers who are interested in how our site is progressing. As of today, any new updates to the roleplay will be broadcasted in this section of the forum to allow both staff and trainers to discuss the new content available at ZapdosZulu which will provide me with feedback about whether members like/dislike the new changes.
Suggestions Board
A new sub-board has been created at the "Moderation Centre", allowing all members to contribute their own ideas to the site, which is particularly important for keeping this site alive and buzzing with creativity and passion. Some of the best ideas will no doubt be adopted by our busy team of staff as we slowly build the rest of Johto and fill it with Pokemon and NPCs.
Fishing
Fishing Rods have been added and for those of you who have reached Violet Town (which I assume is not many :/), you can purchase an Old Rod from the local Pokemart. The rest of you however, will have to wait a bit longer before you can begin fishing but can read the guide that I've put up here: Fishing Guide
In the future, certain Pokemon can only be caught with a specific Fishing Level which will add a bit of variety to the overall roleplaying.
Future Updates
I will also drop a few hints when writing these concerning the next few updates to take place here just to keep people interested and possibly to spark some speculation among the more curious members of this site. Two ideas have sprung up in my head recently which I hope to implement soon. They are some pretty bold changes but once finished, I believe they will boost activity and interest as well as increase the rate at which people get modded.
The first idea revolves around a new reward system just for moderators. I believe that there is a desparate need for moderator incentives and by adding "Mod Points", not only will existing mods reap the rewards for their hard work but members themselves will be encouraged to become mods. These "Mod Points" can be exchanged for new Pokemon, items, etc. and will be earned for each time a mod replies to someone's thread. Additionally, members will be given the ability to thank mods by granting them with even more points, which will act almost like "reputation points".
Secondly, you may notice that a Team Rocket HQ has been constructed recently. I won't reveal too much about this but it will allow members to complete Rocket Missions as agents of Team Rocket and they will recieve points that can be exchanged for Team Rocket-related Pokemon and items.
I hope that all of you have a chance to read through this and I'd encourage you to discuss the new updates and possibly speculate about what the future updates will entail.
