SURPRISE!!

Happy 2nd Year Anniversary to AFK Journey :]

[magister-violyste]

Happy birthday Esme!!!

- @princess-yolena

Two months later, Esme is steering the ship when she receives the note via magic portal…

“Sinbad, look! The princess sent me a birthday wish! It is a little late…but I suppose she had to send it to Merlin to even be able to reach me…and I have been slow on my correspondence considering our latest expedition. She really is the sweetest.”

She quickly pens a thank-you note, and places it where she’ll remember to mail it the next time they’re in port.

…maybe it’ll reach Yolena before the princess turns 40.

Merlin: I'm full of good ideas!

Hogan: Name one idea you've had that hasn't ended badly.

Merlin: Marrying you. 🥺

Hogan: Name two ideas-

Uh oh, it’s canon Violyste dialogue!

just an update that if you’ve sent Violyste an ask, I WILL get to it! I’m updating her RP post a bit with new season content (SO MANY STARS!), but will slowly work through the backlog. Thanks for your patience all~

Give me your Merlin and I’ll vibe check them with an oddly specific tumblr post

Meet Violyste! She’s a star that was turned human (also the star from the Winter Carnival legend), and is very space/science-y magic coded~

A victory is a victory, isn't it?

Aka an animatic of why my Merlin is the way she is... sort of.

AFKJ: Homestead | New Introduction

The above video is a condensed version of what I experienced on a new account after the opening was updated. To see more of the raw footage, go here (link) and here (link).

See the original intro here for reference. Reddit post here.

Observations

- It took ~45 min - 1hr to get from loading in to the story. This was done using the premium currency and my knowledge of the game. A new player would likely take much longer, if we include AFK time to wait for resources.

- No option to select a custom name when picking gender

- Once the player has progressed far enough in the Homestead section, they are prompted to leave for Esperia and join the current active season, regardless of level. There is a small icon to indicate the option to choose the starter story instead.

- The prologue no longer plays

- Aurora now does most of the tutorializing instead of Dolly and the Hamsters.

- Dolly provides a bit more basic lore if the player chooses to speak with her

- If the player chooses the starter story, the hamsters have few different opening lines

RIP Old Opening. Glad we have it recorded and not lost media.

[magister-violyste]

no spoilers but. this is my new favorite season.

WOW.
