Announcement: Where Are They Now?

Many things have changed in the five years the Heroes were missing, and not just in the landscape. The residents of Crystallis - of all species - have found different directions to take their lives. Here is a sample of what these beloved NPCs have been up to.

Announcement: Fifteenth District + Legendary Melody

Hello dear players! Miracles do happen— It had become the topic of popular jokes, some even believed it to be dead... And yet even though no one expected it to become a reality, the 15th District of Aqures Ixen which has been in construction for over ten years is finally being built with the help of the Herans from the Village of Santa Claus.

Needless to say, expectations are incredibly high as to what this district will be like— And it is quite likely the disappointment will be on par with the expectations:

Announcement: New Moderators

Hello dear players! Last month we had moderator applications open, and after careful examinations of the applications there are now three new moderators: two Helper Mods + and one new App Mod.

• New Helper Mods +
Lisa and Twi have become Helper Mods +! That means they are for all intent and purpose Helper Mods, but for certain plot-related events will mod specific NPCs and settings. Like with other Helper Mods, you can contact them for questions regarding the game, though plot-wise they know nothing so no need to harass them, nor bribe them.

• New App Mod
Faetan has become an application moderator and will help out the mod team whenever the app round rolls in every two months.

Please, a round of applause and a warm welcome to our new moderators! It is our hope with an extended moderating team we will be able to reply to job requests and the likes at a more regular rate, amongst other things. Thank you for your attention!

Announcement: New Job

Hello dear players! With the conclusion of the Anniversary event, a new Job is available to all those who participated in it, one way or another. They'll automatically get this Job-- Their Moogles will tell them it has appeared out of nowhere in their crystal and the timing is right after their return to Crystallis. This Job is a bit different from the others, but also compatible with Onion Knight. It comes with a three months bonus. Unlike other Jobs however, this cannot be a default Job upon awaking in Crystallis.

A few more replies will happen in the conclusion thread, but you can safely assume the characters are now back in Aqures Ixen. The Information Post for September will be posted by the fifth, but this shall be a fairly quiet month... So characters can rest (and prepare for Halloween). Last but not least regarding the upcoming application round: new characters will awaken anywhere they want on Crystallis. They're not brought in this time, but wake up from Crystal Stasis after having been summoned months if not years ago. They'll be found by their Moogle and brought to Aqures Ixen, courtesy of the map in Palitutu's Laboratory. More details will be given in the Introduction Log.

Announcement: New Job

Hello dear players! With the conclusion of the Cluedo event, a new Job is available to all those who participated in it, one way or another. They'll automatically get this Job-- Their Moogles will tell them it has appeared out of nowhere in their crystal and the timing is right after Zelda's death. If they have already 10 Jobs, they will have to discard it or another. This Job will come with a bonus varying from 1 month to 6 months: 1 month being for people who didn't know Zelda and 6 months for those who were best friend with her. Therefore, the bonus is more or less important depending on how close your character was to her.

They will be able to use Palitutu's Laboratory to analyze the Job and see what skills it holds, and they will also be able to see it is nearly identical to the Custom Job Zelda had crafted months ago.

Update: New Advanced Jobs and Enemy Skills

Hello dear players! Once more, we have some updates for you in the Job department. First off, thanks to the research conducted in Palitutu's Laboratory, a new batch of Advanced Jobs has been unlocked. These will all be available by February 01st and characters who worked on unlocking them are free to move onto a different project. We also have more enemy skills for characters with the Blue Mage Job, specifically enemy skills from the new monsters introduced along with the Continent of Ruins. Last but not least, there are a few clarifications regarding the Onion Knight Job, as more characters are slowly growing close to maxing it out.

Announcement: Native OCs

Hello dear players! A few months back in the OOC Discussion, we discussed the possibility of introducing Native OCs to the game. Well, that possibility is now a reality! Native OCs are born in Crystallis-- Unlike the other characters they are not Heroes of Light and they can only wield one Job. However, they are all Doppelgangers... You will be able to app Native OCs starting with the September App Round, but do keep in mind the requirement for Native OCs are far more exigent than those for regular characters. This post details how Native OCs work:

Mod Announcement

Hello dear players! There has recently been an instance of aggressive behavior between players, which has been belatedly brought to our attention. No worries, the issue is settled and is now behind us. However, we would like to take this ocasion to remind the players that Melodies of Life is meant to be a fun and stress-free environment for all current and future players, regardless of schedule and tagging speed.

Henceforth, we would like to remind everyone that we as mods are here to address any potential problems anyone may have, should it be impossible for the problems to be settled otherwise. Any behavior that is out of line with our rules or contribute to make current and future players uncomfortable is not allowed, and should be brought to our attention as soon as possible so we can handle the issue.

Thank you for your attention!

Announcement: New Job

Hello dear players! As you are probably aware, the upcoming app cycle is very special. Indeed, characters will not wake up in Aqures Ixen, instead they will be prisoner of the Empire. As usual, while writing the application, players will have to pick two initial Jobs for their new characters. However, besides the Jobs available on the list, there is also a new one they can pick this time:

Announcement: Monster Arena, New Job and App Cycles

Hello dear players, three important things in this announcement. Firstly, the Monster Arena officially opens today. It is still devoid of monsters, but starting next month side-quests relating to the arena will be posted in the monthly information post, with prizes ranging from Gils to new Jobs. Secondly, the old man in charge of the arena sent a letter to all the Heroes of Light, with a Crystal in it. This new Job is pretty different from those so far, so be careful if you chose to equip your character with it. Lastly, we have modified our rules regarding Application Cycles: nothing drastic, but from now on Melodies of Life will work on a bi-monthly basis. Furthermore, it is now possible to app a 5th and 6th character under special conditions.

Announcement: App Round for February and March

Hello dear players! An app round just ended and we have an announcement regarding future app rounds. Exceptionally for plot-related reasons, applications will be closed in February. Reservations will not open for the last week of January and applications will not open for the first week of February. Practically speaking, this means there will be no new or returning characters waking up in Aqures Ixen for February.

March's app round will happen one week earlier: reservations will open from February 15th to February 21st, and applications will open from February 22nd to February 28th. New characters app'ing then will not awaken in Aqures Ixen but in a different location-- Details regarding the event surrounding this specific app round will be revealed in the February-March Information Post.

If you planned to app in February, you will have to do it either next month (January) or in March. Thank you for your time!

New Job | Magitek Resolution

Hello dear players, two important things in this announcement. Firstly, the Crystal in Jessie's letter will grant a new Job to all characters. It is a special Job that works differently from all others, so be careful if you chose to equip your character with it. Secondly, we are offering a resolution regarding the Magitek Event for those who want one. You can chose to handwave the end of the threads if your team didn't complete it yet and we will give you a summary of what happened depending on your characters' choices. If you'd rather not, we can continue backtagging into infinity.

Employments

Following the announcement on Mognet, characters can now take on jobs (as in employments). It is by no means an obligation, just a bonus for characters who are bored and would like to have something to do. Or characters who would like to make some money. Alternatively, characters can choose to open a business of their own: a weapon shop, an inn, a detective agency, whatever they chose to make so long as it is possible within the setting. To be granted a premise for their business, they'll have to defend their case with the NPCs and prove it is worthwhile.

By default, all employments are part-time jobs, but characters can chose to work more if they so wish. Some jobs may have requirements (such as being a White Mage to become a nurse). There is also the possibility to attend classes for particularly young Heroes of Light. Please take a look here for a list of available jobs and to apply for them. if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here.

Announcement: NPCs Contact and Job/Regain Requests.

Hello dear players! We are pleased to announce that the NPCs Contact and Job/Regain Requests posts are now open!

Should you need to contact one of the NPCs, should you be tired with your current Job or should you want a little something from home, feel free to use them. Just remember Jobs and Regains will rarely come for free! You can also now request to move into another house, should you feel lonely. The availability of the NPCs will be updated as the game progresses and the situation changes.

Thank you for your time!
