Alright. Took a long look at stats and the “Regular” role. One thing to note is that we automatically flag any Funcom staff or moderator/volunteer coordinator to the role so the actual number of ‘normal’ users at that level is far fewer than what’s actually being displayed in the forum stats.

For now, we’ll reduce the required number of posts to view from 25% to 20% and see where that takes us. This change is now active and anyone who meets the qualifications should be promoted automatically soon.

It should be bonus tokens from RF in general but it only affects Atlantean Shards from the daily challenge chests. The buff is weird.

I’ll update the language on the post. Thanks for the heads-up, and I apologize for the confusion.

The servers are coming down at 2:00 PM EDT for a hotfix in order to repair an issue with the Biomare bundle. As is the standard for all patches, downtime ETA is 2 hours. Thank you for your patience.

Hello Stalkers,

Artwork and winners for the recent Mutant Year Zero Fanart Contest will be announced and shown off tomorrow, May 08 @ 1:00 PM EDT / 17:00 UTC on our twitch channel! Following the winners, we’ll be showing off a sneak peek at what’s coming in our Conan the Barbarian MMO, #age-of-conan

“Any fool could see there was something unnatural about the structure; the winds and suns of three thousand years had lashed it, yet its gold and ivory rose bright and glistening as the day it was reared by nameless hands on the bank of the nameless river.”

Join us to scry the coming Onslaught tomorrow, May 08 @ 1:00 PM EDT / 17:00 UTC.
(note: AoC content will follow after a Mutant Year Zero contest reading)

I should also add that we turned off the ability for non-moderators to change topic headings/categories. That was not intended as a personal action against you @Croms_Faithful, but rather a global forum policy. Sorry for the confusion!

That’s strange. I don’t recall ever changing Ignasi’s role, and his role shouldn’t really matter since he’s already flagged as staff/admin. The logs don’t show anything either. “Leader” is only for moderators and staff, although some Funcom-flagged accounts may not necessarily have “Leader” since that role includes things like the ability to delete posts and other moderator functions.

I don’t really have a way to track this so I can’t verify, unfortunately. Badges? I’ll look into it but I’m not aware of any changes. The last major version update to our forum software occurred in early April and I’m not aware of other major updates, so I don’t think anything should have changed super recently. The only thing we have done manually in terms of badges for Sera67 was adding Nicole’s star of approval.

Hey friends,

I apologize for any confusion caused by the requirements of the “Regular” role. The way it works here is to be a “Regular” requires a certain level of continuous activity/upkeep. One of the requirements is a stat that scales based on global forum activity (i.e. not just your activity as an individual user, but the aggregate of all users posting on this forum, regardless of category)

We’ve experienced a fairly large spike in forum activity in the past month or so (over 50%!), and as a result some users may have seen their “Regular” status bumped off as they no longer meet that scaling requirement.

This scaling requirement can be easily adjusted on our end if so needed. We’ll continue to look into any outlier cases that could have affected users’ roles on here, but to the best of our knowledge there were no deliberate changes nor removals of the role to any individual user on our end.

I hope that all makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions!

The servers will come down for a restart on May 2, at 13:00 GMT/ 9:00 AM EDT/ 6:00 AM PDT. (check this link to see when this is in your timezone). The downtime is estimated to take 1 hour.
