Staff were in talk with Momo about the title. Let's all just agree to place nice about what it is now.
[sticks on the staff hat for a moment]
Those changes are still planned! We're still waiting for IPS 4.2 because it has some features we really want, like "clubs" and better integration. I plan to then get us the Advanced tags and Prefixes plugin and maybe the Discord plugin because that's a trendy thing right now.
Tags and prefixes should make not-Balmung stuff a LOT easier to track. (And we apprently get filtering, but I have to figure that out).
Normally, I'd do the wiki upgrades right away, but not stated in that announcement is we'll also be adjusting some server hosting. Depending on if we're rebuilding our server image or if we copy the existing one, there's some backend software that needs to be updated before we can proceed. And then a LOT of converting. Before we do any of that though, there will be more announcements on when a "RPC Final Save" will happen, which will be the data we carry over. Most of the forums here will then go read-only as we get the new stuff ready. (We'll keep discussion things open until the new site's live, then the MyBB instance will be purely read-only so any data that didn't get converted is still accessible).
Lots of lifting planned!

I don't know if everyone has seen this, but it is right up there in announcements. I hope the plans are still in motion because I think it is something we need and what I truly want to see. I don't like the idea of us splintering off too much or isolating ourselves too much into separate communities especially now and I think this RPC has done a lot to try and address that, even making improvements. No single rp server is going to be the same and giving new players a 'shopping zone' in the future(when Balmung and Gilgamesh eventually open up) for something that fits them might go a long way to forming a more cohesive community. We may not all be on the same server but at least we are all on the 'same page' *insert pun beating here*
