It is important to point out that this does '''not''' mean that you need to send long-winded messages telling stories every time your character does something. What it means is that you need to have a good character concept, and always act within that concept. You should have in-character reasons for your character's actions, and stick with them. Tom created this wiki page to help define what he means when talks about a serious role playing island: [[Serious Medieval Atmosphere]]. If you plan on playing a character on Dwilight, this page is really required reading. | It is important to point out that this does '''not''' mean that you need to send long-winded messages telling stories every time your character does something.

Seasons and Turns | January 22, 2008 | |
First of all, turns are running slowly on Dwilight, apparently manually triggered by Tom at irregular times. It also appears that Dwilight will use seasons, like the Far East Island. | ||

Strict Name Enforcement is the Rule | January 15, 2008 | |
In case you thought that the Serious Medieval Atmosphere wasn't going to be very strict, then think again. Characters have already been warned for improper forms of address, and deleted for inappropriate names. While the name policy may be lax on the other islands, it will be enforced on Dwilight.

There was a recent, very long thread on the Discussion List regarding the possibility that Dwilight will be the new, enforced roleplaying island. Tom sent the following message to the List:

Tom sent the following message to the Discussion List detailing quite a bit more information on how Dwilight will open. As always, if you happen to be one of the lucky few who get to start there before the rest of us, then we'd love to hear from you regarding any details you are able to reveal.

Religions being prepped for Dwilight | January 10, 2008 | |
With Dwilight comming up, alot of religion concepts have been made. Among them, the Blood Cult, based on aztec mythology, and Soken, based on far-eastern traditions, both have strong cultural flavours. Others I have seen include The Cult of Blissful Dementia and Desperatism, and I believe there are many more that have been though of, though many of these concepts lack the character support to either get started or to grow. Another notable religion would be Sanguisastroism, which, though I have yet to see any evidence indicating it has any support, is the only official religion for one of the starting realms upon which I could fall upon. | ||

Player Characters on Dwilight | January 9, 2008 | |
The first of the contest winner player accounts was spotted as having characters on Dwilight yesterday. With their characters active on Dwilight, it should (hopefully) be a short time before the island is ready for open immigration. We're all waiting (im)patiently for the chance to move there ourselves. | ||
