State of the Game

The Wellstone Post
Issue 7.2, Wellstone, Middle of Nowhere

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL











End of the Game
Well is coming up on its second anniversary, and the end of its runtime. We've destroyed the town six times already, a seventh on the horizon, we've spoken to ghosts, unlocked new areas, made friends, enemies, remembered who we are.

Almost.

Well will run through the end of cycle 8, ending at the end of January 2025.

What does this mean for you?
No more AC. A few high achievers already submitted their AC for cycle 7, good on you! No one needs to submit AC for cycles 7 or 8.

No more new players. Existing players may bring old characters back at the beginning of cycle 8. To bring back an old character, comment on the Taken page at the beginning of November. There will also be no TDM in October.

No more mini-events. I know! That was the last pool party!! Kokomo is no more! (No, Kokomo is eternal. We can never escape it now).

We're very excited for the last cycle and everything we've got in store for you— we have a full endgame all planned out. We hope y'all will stick around and help shape how the end shakes out! Just like the rest of the game, Well's end will be shaped by character choices. This story and this game are in your hands. We'll make it clear in the next three months just how y'all can impact things.

You all have been an incredible playerbase, and we can't wait to bring this story to a close with everyone here who has helped us tell it in the first place. Thank y'all so, so much.
