can i ask why the decision to make activity easier was reached?

we've already got a squatting problem.

At this time, I have not yet received a single complaint about character squatting. Unfortunately, I had not had that in mind when making the decision to make Activity Check easier as it had not been brought to me—it hadn't been something I had thought about, but I do understand the concern.

There are many players who have had difficulty with AC as it stood. Characters who were very active in posting on other players' posts and making a lot of thread-based activity without necessarily making network posts. Those characters, while visible and creating CR with others, were unable to meet Activity Check with the current requirements.

Additionally, as Exsilium is a slower and backtag-friendly game, some players had difficulty meeting the thread length requirement with their characters due to time constraints and the nature of the game's being on the slower side when there are not major events occurring.

Characters who otherwise should have met activity (very active on other posts, but not necessarily making their own) were not able to until the change.

Character squatting is an issue, I think, that is perpetuated by our hiatus model rather than our Activity Check model—which is something I am willing to take a look at and change. Though, since I have not received complaints about character squatting and had not realised that it was an issue for players, I had put the idea of revamping our hiatus rules on the backburner. That said, I will make it a priority for the near future.
