I was wondering, why there hasn't been a story update yet T_T it was been VERY long since last update.
Admis have done a great job with this game but maybe they should get some extra help to move thing forward a bit, I remember joining this game from watching a banner of it in another game.

And I'm sure that like me many others would be lured by new features and new banners to match them, I know it's hard work and very tedious that's why I say so, maybe a few more helpers with different things, or at least add a sub-story feature where players can make their own mini story (with a mini map and all) so that the could be shared among other players and see what you can come up with.

Imagine it like any other rpg game
Main Story = Admins
Sub-Stories = side-quests

Something like that I dunno, just randomly thinking I just want the game to get the fame it deserves arpund the world ^_^

The story is currently on hold. Currently we're awaiting a new temporary zone that everyone who has completed the storyline up till now gets to play in called the MegaZone. While everyone is frolicking in the MegaZone, the plan is to completely rebuild the coding of the site from the ground up. After the recoding is complete, Sylestia will no longer be in beta and the MegaZone will retire. The MegaZone is currently being planned for release in early 2017.
