Our temporary solutions to the disk space issue from our last announcement are not sufficient. Thusly we are forced to temporarily take down our servers while we go about moving to a more reliable, larger host! We thank each and every one of you for your patience and understanding as we move forward.
Additionally, we have been considering adding a help forums section to our weebly here so that you can request help should you have issue and are unable (or simply do not want to) access our Discord. Please let us know in the comments if this is an idea that sits well with you!

Exceeding Space If you have been encountering issues with character creation, specifically character's not being made/exceeding the 30 character limit when you know you haven't, please reach out to Vaynrat via Discord or Email ([email protected]) with as much information as possible. He may need to clean your charlist file. It has come to our attention that our server disk space ran low and was no longer creating the necessary character files needed to create a character, however it was still adding character names to character list files. Temporary Solutions The server is backed up and we have asked for volunteers to submit their characters and/or accounts to be backed up a secondary time and then deleted from the main server while we work on switching hosts. We ask this so that new players may have an opportunity to play while we are in transition to a new server host. If you have no characters, please try to limit yourself to THREE (3) for now; and if you have yet to make an account, please limit yourself to one until further notice. Long-Term Solution We are discussing this matter with a good friend to see if they can host for us. If not, we will be looking to upgrade on our own $$ to a new dedicated server with the space necessary to have as many accounts and characters as your hearts desire.
We will also be looking into a way to check for inactive accounts in an effort to combat future disk space problems. Although we doubt they will occur once we have moved to a larger host, we would like to be prepared regardless. Thank you for your understanding and patience. We will make a new announcement here once we have resolved this problem. We have had a series of updates reported on our Discord server. Here they are copied down for those who may not be a part of our Discord community! February 11th 2020 Our applications page is updated: https://glasmar.weebly.com/applications.html Moderator applications are indefinitely open. We will be looking to open contributor applications soon as well. Please feel free to navigate the website, as we don't always announce when we'd made updates to the site right now unless major. February 12th 2020 Hello everyone!! Current code updates are still in the works. Our commissioned programmer has been a bit busy, but I am in constant contact with him and receiving updates. I actually spoke to him today about an idea Gracey and I had, which is being brought to your attention now: we would like to implement additional body options, but not in the same way as other IT servers. Please read, consider the following, and bring your thoughts then to #game-discussion in the Discord server :) 1. We are eyeing a dragon model and a wolf model. In order to avoid clashing with items, manes, and so on, it would work like this: entering character creation you would first be met with a screen that asks "Impressive Title", "Dragon", and "Wolf" Selecting Impressive Title brings you to the IT char creation options, all the current heads, manes, tails etc that we have now. Selecting Dragon brings you to the new dragon options, and wolf to the wolf options. IT parts would never be able to mix with dragon/wolf parts. 2. On top of this, ONLY the IT model would be able to equip and wear items. Dragon and Wolf models would be met with a message that, in essence, says you can't equip items. You can place items to stash, but not equip them to that model. This is because in order for items to fit these models we would need to do a significant amount of time consuming work that, unless someone wants to pay us full time, we just.. can't feasibly do right now. However, that means to make up for the lack of items on those models, we would be offering more creative options: lots more markings! 3. A server wipe would NOT be required, either. You would not lose any existing characters, items, pets, or skills. So that's a bit to think over, please let us know your thoughts and if you're interested in this as a possibility for Glasmar in the future. Thanks! February 13th 2020 If you are applying to be a moderator, please remember to include your Discord ID if telling us the best means for contacting you! The application isn't recording your email for responses. It's your responsibility to make sure we can reach you if we have follow up questions. Thanks! February 21st 2020 Glasmar V4.5 is an update that's going to go live later today that fixes map issues with portals and spawns, adds new things or changes things to existing maps, and adds more maps in general. This isn't a very large update, but it does add some neat stuff! Stay tuned for the announcement in #game-download later on today. March 7th 2020 Game Update - Progress is still underway for version 5 of Glasmar. This will be an extensive update to the code which adds QoL (quality of life) necessities as immersive gameplay experiences involving items, NPC's, and lore. Community Update - We've had some changes in the team that were not formally announced over the last few months. Rei and Guz stepped into familiar moderator positions while Sino has joined Gracey and I in administrator duties. We had Pigeon briefly join us on the team and we will welcome them back should they decide to return in the future. Our team looks to implement more daily contests, events, and the initiation of our roleplay-oriented living world involvement plan that encourages changes to the environment in game through community participation . Reminders - We ask that you please have your nickname in our Discord display as your in game username/s. Please review our rules as a refresher on what we allow and expect. For suggestions and general feedback, bring up discussions in #game-discussion #community-feedback #contest-discussion or use our feedback forms found here: https://glasmar.weebly.com/contact-us.html - Vaynrat
If you listen closely, you may hear what the world has to say... the whisperings of Grahuun in his desert wastes, the crashing waves of Phantamus - ever vigilant to extinguish the fires of Zahaara, or the rumbling of Elaine's hard work.
One need only dig deeper to know more... which you'll be able to do in our next update. With the introduction of NPC's to Glasmar we have an opportunity to introduce the lore to the community for the first time in a unique and immersive way. You will have the chance to hear from various NPC's across Glasmar how the world came to be, gather differing perspectives on the guardians, and begin to feel truly connected to the world that Gracey has crafted and shared with us all. I am so excited to announce our plans as I know several of you have been seeking out the lore of our server and at last we've a solid plan in place to deliver it to you in more than just a document or webpage. I am also happy to announce that the new category/folder of "Media" in our Discord server has been made, and #memes #art #art-sales #pic-and-vid-sharing and #music can now be found in this collapsible category. As usual, if you have any questions or concerns we are here to help. Feedback is always welcomed. - Vaynrat |
