As most of you know, the Dev team has been working tirelessly to get the battle system open. Dev was allowed back onto the site at the same time as Council's because of the work needing to be finished for the battle system and to implement the changes to the core system. A long journey through Taijutsu, General Items, and soon Abilities has finally come to an end. Most of the players have seen a few Abilities released. The team has approximately a dozen or so Abilities to finish. Once they are complete, a final Dev update will be released (in about a week)
This brings up two interesting upcoming events. The first is that all Abilities will be given a 1 month period of free exchanges. Since so many Abilities have either been changed and new ones have been introduced, it seems unfair to make the player base untrain and train in their Dojo. If you have an Ability that you want to trade out, a simple note in your Dojo will allow for a free exchange. This does not apply to open spots though. If you just ranked up or haven't trained all of your slots, you still have to RP learning an Ability like normal.
The second interesting thing is that we will be giving everything in the system a quick glance to make sure we are ready for the Battle system. We won't be releasing the battle system at the same time as Abilities but they will be in close succession for sure. So this topic can effectively serve as the sites warning that you need to get your Battle Profile ready in case your BFF wants to stab you in the back. During the Free Exchange period, any players involved in a sudden B-mod Call will still have an open exchange for Abilities only (only if they haven't already).
I personally want to thank all the people in Dev who have worked so hard at getting these items ready. It's not easy work and I feel everyone contributed in some way or another to get the site back to it's full strength.
