===Game Reconstruction===
 
 
'''What's going on?'''
 
 
X-Project, after 11 years of continuous play, has decided it's time for some renovations. We've got a lot of accumulated stuff - unplayed characters, unused NPCs, plot ideas that people would like to revisit - and so the players have voted on a relaunch. We're in the process of re-apps and the final plot now.
 
 
 
 
'''So, you're rebooting?'''
 
 
Not so much rebooting as relaunching. It's a partial reboot, in that the world will be different, and a lot of the above-mentioned stuff will be freed up for re-imaging, but we're also retaining some of the old stuff too. Some players will be transitioning their characters over as-is, others will be bringing in new versions of their existing characters, and some are going for the complete new leaf. Also, various events and NPCs that people want kept will be transferring over.
 
 
 
 
'''Why are applications closed?'''
 
 
Basically, we're at a point in discussions where it's way too difficult to bring in new players and bring them up to speed. [[Dave]] was the last new player accepted, squeaking in just before we closed applications. Applications will be open again once the transition has happened and we're back into the groove of things. It's also a bit unfair to have someone bring in a character with a short time of the existing universe left to go, before everything turns topsy-turvy.
 
 
 
 
'''When will this relaunch happen?'''
 
 
The Event plot - the [[Dark Phoenix Saga]] - will be starting on '''January 13, 2015'''. Watch [http://xp-friends.livejournal.com/friends the reading comm] for the plot and our various social media outlets, like [https://www.tumblr.com/blog/xprojectrpg Tumblr] and [https://twitter.com/xprojectrpg Twitter], as well as the [http://x-journal.net/Wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page main page of the Wiki].
 
 
 
 
'''What are these Phase 1 tags on the Wiki about?'''
 
 
We've borrowed the Marvel Cinematic Universe nomenclature for this, with everything that has appeared in X-Project from 2003 to 2014 being classified as [[:Category: Phase 1|Phase 1]]. The relaunch, on January 1, 2015, will begin Phase 2.
 
 
To assist with separating the Phase 1 parts from the Phase 2 parts, both for players and readers, we've been tagging the various Phase 1 bits with a red button, like so:
 
 
 
{{Phase1}}
 
 
 
 
'''How big a change are you looking at here?'''
 
 
Big-ish. We're looking to incorporate elements of the MCU and other '''Marvel''' superhero properties, including adding to our version of SHIELD and potentially bringing in the Avengers as NPC antagonists to the X-folks. The world itself will also change, with attitudes towards mutants much less accepting than they previously have been, and more realistic reactions to certain events in ''X-Men'' and ''X-2''.
 
 
There will also be some changes to the [[:Category: Policy|rules]], including applications, so we'll be stressing that interested players-to-be read through those: they're posted now, and come into effect January 1, 2015. 
 
 
Over all, it's very exciting. :)
 
 
 
 
'''When will applications be open again?'''
 
 
We're looking at reopening applications from outside of the game in mid-February, to give us time to settle into the new scheme of things.
 
 
 
 
'''Where do I ask more questions?'''
 
 
You can [mailto:x_moderators@googlegroups.com email the modteam], or, if that's too official for you, you are welcome to ask questions on the [https://twitter.com/xprojectrpg Twitter] account, the [https://www.tumblr.com/blog/xprojectrpg Tumblr] account or on the OOC journal, [http://x-project.livejournal.com/ x_project]. We're certainly not hiding things, except maybe the Big World Changing Event. ;)
