expiationoocHello everyone. This is your head mod, Elise.
This time I come to you all with some really important and sad news. As of June 30th, we will be shutting Expiation down. This isn’t a decision we’ve made lightly, and has been on the table for a few months, but at this time we feel like it’s the best decision we can make for the game. Expiation has had a wonderful two and a half year streak, but we think it’s time.
That being said, there’s a possibility in us returning in a game similar to this one. The mod team has reviewed the feedback we’ve gotten through both polls, questionnaires and private messages. We have valued each input on the state of the game and suggested improvements. However, for us to be able to bring these changes into reality we can’t be running a game at the same time. The return of the game (whatever form it will take) will partially depend on the players’ interest. But a temporary closure will give us time to reflect on plot, mechanics, and exactly what game we want to run before we open.
When Jenni, Kri and myself took over in June 2023, we didn’t even think we were going to be here a year later. It’s because of you all that made this experience so special, and why we are currently thinking of rebuilding the game. There is no strict timeframe when this will happen as of right now, as we need to go back to the drawing board, but everyone’s recommendations and feedback will be considered in the restructuring. Lycoris, Vette, and Jenni have helped us so much, but we have come to the conclusion that this is what’s best for the health of the game. We will keep the comms open so that people can finish their threads in peace and view them later on.
As always, everyone is allowed to voice concerns and feedback, and especially feedback on whether you would return to a restructured game. We will be posting an official ic ending to the game on the 30th of June.
Thank you all for being so great and making Expiation such an amazing experience, we sincerely love you from the bottom of our hearts.
Love,
Elise & mod team
