New Game Mechanic: Search Requests
Hello all,
So as we wind down on the Pokemon event, I wanted to introduce you to a new game mechanic at Genessia: Search Requests.
Search Requests are basically a way for your character to go on adventures and expect to potentially find something other than 'oh wow more forest' or 'the ocean sure is wet.' There are plenty of nifty locations not yet discovered within the five main cities of Genessia, and now it's your chance to find some! Or just find stuff. Or maybe find plot. Who knows.
If you're interested, go ahead and swing on over to the Search Request Rules page and read up for more information. There are some rules for how it works to keep it fair without ignoring potential advantages/disadvantages some characters might have during their searches as well as give you the opportunity to state things you don't want to deal with and so on.
This is not a specific event and will remain up until the end of time. If you don't want to get involved at all, don't worry about it. This is by no means a mandatory part of the game, it's just available for those who would like it. And while unlocking plot is possible, it is by no means the only way to get involved in future plot. Links have been added to this page in the main navigation page and the FAQ under archways/subarchways.
Have questions? Go ahead and reply to this post. This is a pilot for this, so we're definitely looking for feedback on how to improve it as time goes on.
