Meshwesh:Meshwesh Times/Archive


September 15, 2019

Welcome to the first issue of the Meshwesh Times!

Tale 9 kicked off two weeks ago, and it’s been a productive time for Meshwesh. We’re keeping up with research, have several Tests open, and are busy working on advancing out of the stone-age. Current census lists 326 Meshwesh citizens.

This week we unlocked the technologies of mining and glasswork, which opens up a lot of opportunities. Folks have been dowsing for ore veins and finding iron, copper, and tin. Once we’re able to cook dowsing food, we’ll be looking for the other 11 types of ore. For now, grilled carrots give a +2 boost to Perception, which is enough to find the basics.

Five Tests are available to start. Some of them are fun and they all provide coveted Talent points. You can find Singing Cicada, Oyster Catcher, Bedouin, and Acrobat at the UBody. Hope you enjoy travel! If UArch’s Obelisk Test is more your style, consider signing up for the queue--or risk the social consequences of cutting in line. Bedouin was broken for the first week, but devs assure us that it’s now fixed.

Meshwesh just finished our first Elder elections, and Gabrielnight passed with 60% of the vote. (And I did quite respectably with 40%!) When asked what he’d like to say to Meshwesh, he responded: “The title may have changed, but the name is still the same. Family, friendship, cooperation and fun, all the important parts that makes meshwesh such a unique and wonderful place to be. MW continues to be both mine and others home here in Egypt, and I am positive it will stay that way. A great thank you to all of your support so far, I'm very much looking forward to what the future brings to us all here in MW.”

Please remember to visit the Great Hall and vote for another Elder Election so that Gabe can get some more hands on deck. We need 50% of Meshwesh to request the election, so hop over there when you can!

Please give me a shout (/chat Coyote in game or Discord) if you have guides, ideas for this newsletter, or events you’d like shared. For now, I leave you with an anthem for the advent of mining.
