Community Update

Aside from monthly event news posts and the 2nd Friday of each month being focused on art/coding updates, all other Fridays are centered around the community!

Official Lioden Raffle

LINK - This is our official community update raffle. Everyone gets a chance to win a rare prize, plus something extra for any runner ups. These raffles have a very minimal ticket price, and there is a limit of 1 ticket per account to make it fair! Good luck!
This raffle will automatically end on 2022-11-25 00:00:00.

Gateway Timeouts

We are aware of the ongoing issues with the Gateway timeouts and are working to resolve these. Unfortunately there is no ETA as the problem is sporadic and not easy to pinpoint the origin. We do believe, however, that we have found the cause of the recent outages (such as the one earlier in the week) which rendered the site inaccessible for an hour. It appears to have been a network manager service which was not properly configured by our server provider. This led to the server being completely inaccessible whenever the network manager would crash, though the server itself was still running quietly in the background. With that out of the way, there should hopefully be no more periods where the server simply does not respond.

Again, and as always, we thank you for your patience!

Moderator Applications Reminder

We would like to take a moment to remind everyone that our voluntary moderator applications are permanently open and can be found at the bottom of the Modbox, or through this direct link: Moderator Application Form

Moderator applications are reviewed by Lioden's admins as necessary. We do not have a time limit on when applications can be sent in, nor when they may be reviewed. We may not always need new moderators, but we would like to retain applications on file just in case!

To apply to be a voluntary moderator, you must have been registered on Lioden for at least 6 months, be 18 years of age or older, and have a record that is fairly clean of rule breaks and trouble making. We hope that applicants will have a decent grasp on gameplay knowledge in order to properly troubleshoot and assist players having issues with Lioden's site features.

If you are accepted, you will be messaged privately by a site admin with further details regarding the position. Please keep in mind that this is a voluntary position that does not offer benefits. Lioden's moderators are volunteers that offer their time to help catch rule breaks, enforce Lioden's site rules, and assist players with their gameplay issues.
