WORLDHOPPING CHANGES
As per the results of our poll, we're going to be making some changes to DDD's worldhopping policy! Unless a player decides to opt their character out, all DDD members will now be able to worldhop. They'll all get a nifty little device for it, about the size and shape of a cell phone. They'd better be careful with them, though-- if it's lost or taken away, they won't get a new one until the community is good and ready, which could take anywhere from a few hours to a few months (OOCly it'll be entirely up to you, the player).
That said, there are a few guidelines that you'll need to abide by, and some info that you'll want to be aware of:
- There will be a ten-minute rate limit between worldhops. So if your character goes somewhere, they'll have to wait at least ten minutes before their device will allow them to leave-- which means that in fights, they won't be able to dodge blows by worldhopping back and forth!
- Only DDD members can worldhop. Sorry, your character's BFF can't come along on any crazy adventures unless they've been apped into the game!
- If a player doesn't want to give their character this ability, they don't have to. We know there are people who preferred the old system, so feel free to stick by it if you want! You can still have your characters need to track down somebody to give them a worldhopping device, or even just bum rides off of other characters like an intergalactic hitchhiker. Likewise, if you don't want your character to be able to worldhop at all, that's also totally okay.
- You need to ask permission before having your character visit the world of another character. You want to have your character visit a generic Earth, or Mars, or even some made-up planet you invented yourself? Go for it! But if you want them to visit the world of another DDD member, take it up with them and get approval first. Players might want to limit who's able to come to their character's world, or even disallow visits entirely.
That's all for now, guys. Have fun!
