5/21/12 MAJOR Changes - Patch Notes

• The new week now starts on Sundays. This means you have until 11:59 on Saturday night to submit your RPs and updates. RP Rewards will now be posted on Sundays instead of Mondays.
  
• Two new advanced training types Heavy Training and Elite Drilling have been added. These changes can be seen on the Activities page.
  
• A new feature has been added, called the XP Chain. Every week that you complete an roleplay, battle, or spar, and write at least 1,000 words, you gain a new link in your XP chain. The link will increase the XP gained in your rewards for next week by +1%. Your chain will keep growing each week and finished at 30 weeks (for a max +30% bonus.) Each week you miss, you will lose two links in the XP chain (to a minimum of zero.)

After running some calculations, I realize I made a big error in the changes I made to the trainings. The normal trainings have been reverted back to the way they were and the new advanced training have been modified as well, still making them better, but more so with RPs than just a raw bonus to XP.

I feel these changes, along with the XP Chain will help higher level characters not lose momentum in their leveling.
