2025 Wrap & Thanks

Caoimh

Hey Totonians!

2025 is over, so once more we wanted to thank you all for making TOTON such a blast over the past year.

This is our second year on the server, and I think we've now really begun to come into our own in terms of the community we're building.

Here's just some of the things we've knocked out since this time last year:

We've welcomed Spongeyclouds, Seisan & Wolfhere on board;
Concluded a significant plotline for everyone's favourite murderhobos, the Nameless Six, who finally secured their McGuffin (only to have it eaten by a cat);
Reignited the Crimson Crossroad storyline;

Added four New Classes - Sun Soul Monk, Warrior Scald, Swashbuckler & Invisible Blade;
Completely reworked the Experience System, doing away with the 1e-3e conversion among other streamlining;
Revamped the Resting & Food System;
Revamped the In-Game Party Chat System;
Completed Phase I of a full rework of the Shapeshifting System;
Released a completely new NUI Player Menu;
Implemented several completely New Spells, including Dimension Door, Daylight, Tongues, Disguise Self;
Revamped Death & Dying System;
Major RLG Refactor;
Major Spawning System Refactor;
New Boss System & Mechanics;
Released no less than 27(!) Build Updates, including major updates 0.1 and 0.2;

Added an entirely new region, i.e. the Province of Moonreach;
Added 3 new subregions in Moonreach, including sunken city, goblin warzones, Emberhold, and the Mycelium;
Concluded The Waning Moon introductory plot for the new region;
Advanced long-term targeted personal stories for different PCs (e.g. involving name-stealing fey, flaming sailors & friends, wretched Thayvian engagements, elite guard units, missing brothers, missing sisters, curses of lycanthropy, feykin bards and angry cambions, and more);

The massive Peltarch Update that has been in the works for 5 years was finally "finished";
Below the city, the new sewers and Underdark are populated and still properly positioned for major expansions in the future;
The areas surrounding the city were revamped and repositioned to better suit a proper progression from lower to mid levels;
The planned expansion for what will be the new Orc Lands is written up and awaiting creation and implementation;

It is no surprise based on the list above that I would like to especially thank Its_a_Fire, Seisan, Drd and Flom for their unbelievable contributions on the Dev side this past year, it has been truly sensational progress, and an extremely tight execution on the Roadmap plans which were carefully laid in our first year.

Most importantly of all, we have had another year of nigh weekly events roleplaying our characters (old and new) and as always it is invariably a pleasure to play with you all (and this year in particular has seen so many new characters for us to enjoy)!

So, once again, Drd, Flom & I remain grateful & honoured to be enjoying DnD with you all, and look forward to a third year in TOTON where who knows what could happen! One thing I'm sure of: it won't be dull!

With thanks, and wishing you all a great 2026,

Flom, DrDreadlock, and Caoimh
