Ara Release
After some deliberation, we have been considering having Scavenger Hunt be only in July, with 10-man teams and 150 tasks. In addition, we have been considering releasing the first Ara region in January, and release a new region in Ara every month after.
What do you think? Should we postpone Scav and start releasing Ara starting NEW YEARS???
Ara has nine regions, and if you do want Ara to start being released starting New Years, how about picking which region you want to see released first?
But no hints...you only get the codename!!!
Okay, it looks like you guys are going for the Enchanted Woods first... click on the explore area to go to the submission thread!!!

Hmm I agree with God though... (The player! :P) Having one scav in July isn't fair to those (myself included) on Summer break who might be visiting family and are unable to do all the tasks required. Plus, then you deminish team size so that teams are even more reliant on individuals...I think I'd feel rather guilty joining a team then being unable to do my fair share because July isn't a great time for me. January is much better, and as for Ara, we already have so many explore areas, and I'm still peeved that I have to set my lvl 300+ vion back to 1 to play in battledome that I honestly don't care to go exploring much anymore. It irritates me that I spent so long leveling up only to have it be like "Oh yeah, SYKE!! You can't explore in the new areas unless you go back to square ONE!" ;3; So, to conclude, January Scav, yes, Ara region can wait.

Man, I really hit the jackpot when I decided to check out Aywas a couple months ago! So many awesome things in such a short time!

Scav hunt is fun but too much drama. I vote for opening Ara. c:

I´d rather have a miniscav, those are so much fun... Why not a mini scav early in january, and release Ara right after so we´re too busy to complain about scores being processed too slowly ;P

If you decide to make scav once a year, the team size seriously needs to be upped from 10. Whittling it down to 10 people allowed to win first place every /year/ is a very few number... with stakes that high and chances that slim, the desire to nab first is going to be insane. More so than ever before in the past. As a fellow "orange named player", scav is one of THE foremost reasons I stay doing what I'm doing here. I collect every item on the site just for the purpose of scav. I save my bp, gp, and sp for scav. My daily activities usually surround doing things in constant preparation for scav. It's what keeps me anchored here and I actually enjoy having a goal like that to work towards. I've been awaiting this January scav for months now. Ara would be a nice touch, but we've waited for it for... years. I'd like to preserve the 6-month tradition of scav, instead of sacrificing it for something that could wait another few months to release.

Oohhh I can't wait to see the Ara regions, being able to go catch some Ara pets for a change would be lovely! I don't participate in Scav myself, but I personally think it should only be once a year; the contest is too hardcore, people get too serious about it, and it's WAY too much work for the staff from what I can see, for it to be worth doing twice. Perhaps, instead of having two Scavs, you guys could reintroduce the weekly / bi-weekly Mini Scavs? I'm not sure if that'd be worth it; it's just a suggestion ^_^
