Dear Community,

as we already told you, Ben has promised to keep our current Belletristica running until the end of March. Unfortunately, this deadline will not be extended again.

The programming-team is currently assuming that we will not be able to create a fully functioning website by this time. BUT we are hopeful that there will be at least a mini-beta version by that time.

This means the following:

Shattered Throne:

The programming-team is working hard to create a mini-beta, but they can't promise that it will be ready in time. What features this site will have is not yet clear, but it's likely there will be no chat yet.

It's going to be a closed beta. That means it's a test site that not all users will have access to. The purpose of this mini-beta is finding bugs and fixing them. For this, it's easier if only a few users test the site initially, because otherwise too many of the same error messages will be written that will unnecessarily slow the programmers. Too many testers could also overload the beta and cause crashes.

So, the right number of testers will help ensure that all users can move to a secure site as soon as possible. We will let you know who will be part of this round of testing as soon as we can.

Belletristica:

From April, only the chat will be left of the current Belletristica. But don't worry. The stories here will be saved. Ben won't be deleting any data, but we'll have limited access to it indefinitely. You'll be able to export your published texts as a PDF, but you won't be able to edit or read them here. We don't know to what extent you'll have access to your unpublished texts, but we will ask Ben about it. So you should download the chapters you'll probably need in the time before S.T. can begin.

We'll keep you posted as soon as we know more.

Your S.T. -Team
