Ylands News

Ahoy Ylanders,

So, sailing to the edge of the map so you can travel to the next yland, is cool stuff, right? You can feel the adventure in your veins! Water splashing, the soundtrack playing all around, fish vibing, sun shining, and other cool Ylands stuff that we all love.

Maybe at first, but when it's your three hundred and forty-fifth sail to another yland it feels kinda pointless, and you are 100% right! So, we do what? We go and fix it! From the upcoming update, all you need is to be ready to steer your ship, and you are good to go.

But wait there is more! Quick question: What was the weather like when you arrived at a new location the last time? Let me guess, it was sunny! Did I get it right? I'm not trying to be 5head or anything but yea, I got it right. 😁 That's just how it is, but not for long! Starting with the next update, the weather and the daytime upon your arrival at a location will be random.



"More dangerous? Probably. More fun? Definitely!"
- Horatio Reginald Elmwood

We thought that the adventure atmosphere would be way more tangible when you arrive at an unknown location during a night or a storm or, you know, both. Also, we like to think that all kinds of weather in the Ylands are quite beautiful so showing that off seemed like a good idea.

Anyway, that's it for today, wish you a great weekend, and let us know what you think about these changes in the comments!

Stay Classy.

Ahoy Ylanders,

Are you ready for the weekend? I bet you are, but first, the last dev diary of this month is here. Yay! What's it about, you ask? TL;DR: Toxicity is bad, and if you encounter such behaviour let us know! Let's get to it.


Disputes among sailors happen, no biggie, but we all wanna feel good in Ylands, right? So here is a list of some main salty behaviours that are crossing the line of friendly banter among seawolfs and how to deal with them.



[h2]Reportable behaviours:[/h2]

Swearing, insults and other forms of verbal abuse
How can anyone call themselves an adventurer if they are mean to others? I don't get that.

Feel free to report them to us!

Threats
Any kind of threat needs to be adressed, both in real live and virtual environment.

Feel free to report them to us!

Scammy Blueprints in the store
I mean, why would any adventurer do that?! Here are the blueprint marketplace rules, so you can help protect the community: https://ylands.com/community/topic/32280-blueprint-marketplace-rules/

Feel free to report them to us!

Cheaters
Oof, this is getting out of hand. I don't even wanna say this! You noticed someone who's obviously cheating, I guess you know what to do by now.

Feel free to report them to us!

Disrupting and bullying gameplay
Anyone stealing your stuff repeatedly or forcing you to pay a protection fee? Maybe that's a bit extreme, but if you do encounter some in-game meanies now you know what to do!

Feel free to report!

Anything that bothers you
No problem is too small. You have something on your mind? Speak up right now in the comments below!

[h2]Reporting 101:[/h2]
Yea, report them but how?

The report message must contain the type of behaviour that occurred and an in-game name of the reported meanie. It's ideal to enclose some kind of proof, like a screenshot. Then choose whatever option suits you the best and get in touch with us!

In-game message: This is probably the easiest and most immediate way to let us know about any misbehaviour.

Thank you so much for helping us keeping the saltiness inside the sea where it belongs. (heart)

Stay classy, Ylanders!

We know that one of the things that keep you up at night is the question "What is C.A.G"? Or at least we are pretty sure it would, if we ever mentioned it before.

So what is C.A.G. ?

No, it's not Cool Angry Gorillas, it stands for Classy Adventurers Guild. It's the most prestigious guild, whose members are bold men and women traveling to all corners of the world to explore the unknown. (So far no other guild for travelers exists, so the competition for the most prestigious one was not that big). They are fighters. They are builders. They are survivors and dreamers. They are...

Adventurers.



So from this day, wherever you see its emblem and the strong, wise message "Ne biberis mare" you'll know that adventure is close. And you can trust us that you will get to see this a lot in the upcoming months and years.

Let us conclude with a personal message from one of the greatest living adventurers of our time, a proud C.A.G. member, Mr. Horatio Reginald Elmwood:

"There will be times when you'll have to fight tooth and nail to survive. When all you have is your will to go on, your mission, and a cup of that unique, delicious Elmwood Classic Tea - now also available with the new Guava and Slimy Dirt flavors. It's these moments when boys become men. Girls become women. Old people become older. That is the circle of life. Just think about it. I do. Always."

Stay classy, Ylanders!
