Hey TPK, welcome ba--

Anyways. We hope you enjoyed our little blast from the past event! To clear up any confusion, the April Fools' joke was that TPK Classic was going to be the successor of TPK Blue, and while that isn't the case, we do want to announce that TPK Classic is sticking around as a permanent "side server" to be alongside TPK Blue. There will not be any server-to-server transfers or anything of that nature; you can think of it similar to how TPK Green and Blue both existed for a time period. We are absolutely not abandoning TPK Blue even if we've already mentioned earlier this year that we are slowing down on the development side of things.

Another note: If you logged in at all during the event yesterday, you will have received an EventTreecko on your TPK Blue account. To preserve the iconic-ness of Treecko in the v1 banner, it will not be able to be evolved.


TPK Blue
As mentioned above, we're still truckin' along over here. There is currently a new map in the works! Nothing else to really say but do know that we're still treating TPK Blue as the main server currently. We will do our best to divide the attention between servers proportionally to how active they are. If everyone decides to jump ship to TPK Classic, cool! We will divert our focus to be a lot more weighted towards Classic in that case. If everyone wants to sit still here, that's also cool! We'll spend less effort polishing Classic. We think it's likely that most people exclusively play on one server or the other, while some get the best of both worlds. Play however you choose to!


TPK Classic
So, for TPK Classic's future, we do have plans to polish up the game more, but not necessarily add new features. Some new things can definitely be added, but we want to preserve most of the nostalgic feel of v1. We're open to suggestions for how to improve the game without making drastic changes to its features, so feel free to leave your ideas on the TPK Classic forums! As per usual, any bugs can be reported directly to myself or B0sh, there's still likely quite a few things that need to be fixed and have yet to be discovered. More information regarding Classic below.

Promos
The Promo Pokémon has to be reset by hand at the moment. Until a system is put in place to do it for us, i'll be changing it out every Saturday (the normal weekly reset for TPK Blue). That means the CloudDeoxys currently available will be gone in three days! Make sure to claim it before it's gone.

Soulless Machine
We currently don't have a set plan for Soullesses yet. Personally, i'm cool with keeping the old-school sprite style but we would need to produce said sprites. If you're able to create a style similar to these, feel free to contact me via PM or over Discord. Reference:

WTCs
Same deal here, we don't have a game plan with WTCs yet but we will set them as we go until we have a system in place. We may even add some kind of polling system to let the community decide what comes next!



That's all for now, folks. Have a TPK day! ~Altios

Yes a polling system sounds great but you should only leave the pole up for an hour
