Good day, everyone.
As many of you have already pointed out, the faction activity announcements have fallen behind a fair bit. There are many contributing reasons for this, but only recently it has become clear that the most simplest fix is to use the recent forum migration and subsequent platform update to our advantage. To put it simply, the tracking, up until now, was a purely manual process. And it sounds just as problematic as actually was.
With the recent changes to the forum, we have also managed to implement a semi-automated system that will let us process these a lot faster for your and our own convenience. Both faster and at precise dates.
For the time being, these are the only changes that will affect the activity tracker:
Please note that requirements in both terms of online time and minimum player count stay the same. There are no further plans to change this system for the nearby future.
Keep an eye on this post - things might get changed around a bit as we go through the migration process. Thank you for your patience, guys.

For the time being, these are the only changes that will affect the activity tracker:
- The activity tracker will be purged for past records of failed activity upkeeps. All groups will start off with a clean record. For the sake of simplicity, the old values regarding past months that are currently displayed in the tracker will remain un-reset.
- The new activity tracker will start with the next month's results. The values are saved on the last day of the month (31st of November) and will be then posted as a regular announcement in the next few days once they are processed by a team member.
-NOTE: We are going to have a Windows migration soon, so there IS expected downtime somewhere in the near future, please do not try to cram the last few minutes of activity in the very last moment.
- Faction status report threads will be posted as well, but will remain as ''optional'' and will be more intended for factions to show off their progress to the community, not just the Team.
Please note that requirements in both terms of online time and minimum player count stay the same. There are no further plans to change this system for the nearby future.
