Hey, i dont know if others have the same problem, but it's really hard to read the backgroundstory and the profile text from users who dont have vip or change it. Could you please use there a font without serif?

It's kinda hurting my eyes.

It would be nice that you could follow the wall thread by likeing the thread instead of jumping in and disturbs the thread by saying //oog:follows//

Okay, I get that it's too late to edit my post, but is it intentional for site code to appear on this error page? It could be a security hazard... Not sure it is, but just in case, I thought it best to check with you devs.

Here's the text of the error. I'd have taken a screenshot, but much of the text was black-on-dark-brown-background, and would have been impossible to see within a .JPG or .PNG image. So here it is, in plain text.:

An error occurred

An error occurred during execution; please try again later.

I was posting about this on the WoJM discord a couple minutes ago:

Basically I feel that the site is a tad bit too monetized on the character creation aspect. Characters should be tailored to suit the player's needs and roleplaying as a character you do not enjoy is quite difficult. Sometimes we make mistakes upon registration that we can't fix. Other times, we go inactive (like me) but return to the site only to be 19 IG years old and stuck in year one or two. That results in us having to take exams (which we have to wait for, and it is very time - consuming) that some may not even pass. Thus...

1. I think implementing a "one free change" would be nice. Maybe, one free change of your year/age and then any changes after that cost money. I understand that maintaining these sites is costly, so, as a result of the free changes, the prices afterwards can be increased.

2. If there cannot be a free change for each field, I feel that at least one field (age and year) should get a free change. Or, there could be one free complete change in character and the rest can all cost money (and future changes in character will cost money, maybe more)
I just feel that there are many younger users who cannot pay or do not have bank accounts of their own and would still like an opportunity to customize their character.

Dear fellow WoP-people

With the introduction of In-Game Occupations, the profile/ID “card” is starting to look rather cramped. To increase the usefulness and usability of the profile card, I have made a wireframe for an expanded profile card. This is based on a corpus of profile cards from other sites.

Preliminarily, it looks like this:

I imagine the expanded profile card will pop up when you hover over character names. Then, if you hover over the profile card, it will stay until you hover away from it again. This will make you able to click the buttons at the bottom.

Below, I will argue for my choices in the order that they appear on the card.

Profile picture: It s now shaped like a circle instead of a square. This is to make it appear lighter. It appears on top along with the character name to state some of the most general information.

Personal pronouns: Instead of stating gender anywhere on the expanded profile card, I put the pronouns in there instead. I found pronouns to be more relevant, especially after the introduction of the non-binary gender option. The pronoun addition should also work great if you are on a roleplay topic with someone new, whose pronouns you are unfamiliar with. Then this section of the profile card will help you address them correctly.

Job: Since many jobs have the same job colour, I let this section elaborate to state the specific job. This would also work well for management, teachers, journalists, etc. where they have the same job colour but not the exact same job.

Online status: Other than having the coloured indicator dot, this part also explicitly states the user’s online status, for those who may not be familiar with the different online status colours. This also works as a solution to a previous idea of mine.

Achievements: Like the online status, this explains what the achievement badge indicates.

Blood status: With the extra space, I added blood status.

Send owl, view wall, add friend & view profile buttons: I added these to skip one step in the process of sending an owl to a specific user, adding a specific user as a friend and viewing the profile. This is with the 3-click rule in mind. It may already take a lot of time to find a specific user. This will eliminate one step in finding some of the specific content for that user.
There is also a button to take you directly to the wall of the user which is where you usually end up after clicking someone's name.

As I mentioned, this is just preliminary. I am open to any changes. I appreciate feedback and suggestions in the comments. Let's have a discussion!

I think it would be super cool to make it where characters had a journal option along with their backstory and profile text. Most characters backstories consist of information about what happens before their very first year at Hogwarts. Although some characters put information about what happens after that, this usually does not cover what's going on in the character's life right now. I believe a journal would be a fun way to give this information.

I think this would also be a cool way to tell your character's story on a more personal level. I believe this would make it easier for people to make relationships, and topics. I also think it would help encourage people to stay on the site longer, than just leaving all of a sudden. As it would give something for people to upgrade more often than a backstory that may take several IG years before any changes are necessary. Being something that a character can update daily, weekly, monthly etc, allowing it where people feel like they're making progress around the site without having to wait two months just to year up.

First of all, sorry for my english. Hope it gets understood. 

Maybe this is not exactly a bug, but... the new "Potions Brewed" achievement seems to be inactive, or deactivated. The achievements keep locked up, even though I have already enough numbers to unlock some of them. 

I mean, in My achievements, it shows the number of potions I brewed, and even if the number of successfully brewed potions increases, but I am not getting my medals. It's like it's not yet active. 

I don't know if it's a bug, if they haven't launched it yet, or if it's a problem only in the WoP site I am an user in.

Just hoping it works, because I think this new potion's achievements are really cool :D! 

I think you should make a area where you can buy more clothes or jewelry and things like that.
