+ some wonderlands are kind

Well, we did it. We reached the end of an era!

It’s absolutely wild to think that this game has been open for thirteen years. That’s absurd. For the longest time we were the oldest game in DWRP. We were one of the oldest in LJRP, before the great migration of 2012.

So, we didn’t feel right ending things as mods without taking a second to say our individual goodbyes. If you’ll indulge us for a moment, we each have something to say:

KOJI
I can’t believe I’ve been modding for eleven of those thirteen years? Somehow that’s even more unbelievable than the game just flatout being around since forever.

Before Entranceway, I said I would never mod again. It can be a thankless and difficult job, but I took it up here at a time when the game was in real serious trouble. I took it up because I loved Eway and the homey feeling it always had for me. The biggest compliment I’ve ever gotten is hearing that we’re the Hufflepuff of games. I’m so grateful we could be that for people, and I’m grateful this game could be that for me as well. I can honestly say it’s changed my life for the better.

Closing Entranceway is one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made, but in the end it was the right call. I’m going to miss this place so, so much.

KRISTEN
I’ve never been the most visible of the Entranceway mods, but I’ve really enjoyed the chance to play with everyone. You--and pretty much everyone who’s passed through this game--have been an amazing group to collaborate with. Eway has always been my RP home. I’ve tried a few other games, but none have ever clicked with me like Eway has. Other than PSLs, I think this is the end of journal RP for me. So thank you for being a part of my experience here. Like Koji, I’m going to miss Eway.

And then finally, thank you to everyone who’s passed through Entranceway, everyone who’s ever modded this game, everyone who came back to visit in its last few months, and everyone who stuck with us until the end. ♥

Sincerely,
Koji and Kristen
The Entranceway Mod Team

So friends, the end is here and the end is now. Where are we going?

When last we left our characters, Ewaymas had just concluded and Wonderland as they know it is in shambles. The only thing left of it is the mansion, and the closets no longer work. Mirrors are stuck with the reals, and food can only be obtained from the dining room - and its ability to give people what they want is dwindling. Wonderland is low on power, effectively operating in safe mode.

It knows, and it’s sorry. It’s doing what it can, but what it can is proving to not be much.

As of January 1st though, it is about to get worse.

For the next four days, the mansion will begin to fall apart. First, Floors Ten, Nine, and Eight will vanish on 1/2/20. Then the next day (1/3/20), Seven, Six, and Five will follow. Continuing the worst countdown ever, Floors Four, Three, and Two will disappear on 1/4/20. If characters look up from the first floor, they will only see that black void around them all.

Character belongings will float around in this space, unless they were on the character when their floor vanished. Characters who were on these floors when they vanished will also float around in the void. They will need to either swim back to the remains of the mansion, or go missing for a couple of days, depending how much you want to worry the rest of their CR.

On 1/5/20, with everyone crowded onto the first floor of what was once a spacious mansion, the lights will go out. The stairs go nowhere, and everything looks distinctly abandoned and dark. We suggest you find your loved ones, and stay close to them. This might be it. Maybe you’ll really die here.

Then, later that same day, the first floor begins to crumble away. Gravity is gone, and everyone rises into the void. There are probably tears, and goodbyes. Maybe even conversations of when they’ll have to start eating each other to survive.

( But then, there is a bright flash of light-- )

On an OOC note, you can expect to hear from us again on the weekend of 1/11th, and we’re looking to wrap everything by 1/18/20. We don’t want to dictate exactly how this part will go, but we do want to give you guys a time table on our end!

So, what will you do? What events will you throw in the ring? What are your characters doing and how are they handling all of this? And of course, there will be a FAQ as always - the last one of the game.

Good luck! ♥

As of this post, the second floor pool has vanished permanently. If anyone attempts to visit it, hoping for a wintertime heated pool swim, they will find that the door leads to an ordinary empty room.

I'm sure it's fine. Now, back to your regularly scheduled Advent Calendars! ♥

~ Koji

Happy December, everyone! Wonderland has started the holidays early this year. In the very early morning of December 1, there’s the usual clattering racket as the Mansion decorates itself. A huge decorated tree takes center stage in the entranceway and a large menorah can be found atop the mantle of the fireplace. Wreaths and lights and tinsel and so on decorate the stairwells and hallways and there’s a stocking hanging up for each character. And as a special treat, this year every character gets an advent calendar.

( Details here! )

Note: You can ask questions either directly on the advent calendar list for your character or on the Q&A thread (which I, unfortunately, put after all the advent calendar stuff).

The Cheshire Cat announced an event and the Bulletin Board sent you here!

( Cut for details )

Any deaths sustained during the event are considered Mansion deaths. Those people who are AUed as Gems may keep or alter their powers or gain new powers; everyone else retains their powers as normal. There are no network or closets, so be careful for the last couple days of the event!

There will be an open log for this event.

Like always, there is a Q&A thread here for any questions you might have!

Hi everyone! Just announcing a new addition to Wonderland, courtesy of Ange's memories. In the entrance hall there are now six stained glass windows featuring a group of lovely women.

Enjoy!

As the Dormouse has said (in his vague sort of way), there is an event this weekend! More details can be found over on the Bulletin Board but this one is pretty much what it says on the tin! A couple really quick notes though:

• The inside of the mansion will be a safe space at first, but by the time all of the dinosaurs are loose a lot more things will probably get broken. Nothing will be repaired until the end of the event.


• For anyone wondering, these are not feathered dinosaurs - they're the more classic representation.


• All deaths are mansion deaths. You know, in case anyone wants to burn one of their last few deaths getting eaten by a dinosaur.


• There will be a quick poll in the comments regarding whether or not we should do an open log for this event or just have everyone make their own posts, so please check that out and chime in! If enough people would prefer one I'll make one, but if I don't hear back from people then I'll default to not posting a mingle log and just letting everyone do their own thing.

And that's about it! As always, there will be a FAQ thread for all your question and answer needs, and this post is available for plotting. Are your characters going to go seek adventure? Or will they try and wait out the event and avoid becoming dinosaur food?

As the Twins announced and as the bulletin board states, there is an event this coming weekend!

( Here are all the deets! )

A couple more notes:

- Deaths count as Mansion deaths.
- There's no network.
- There are no working closets.

There's a Q&A thread if you have any Q's! I have a bunch of A's for you.

EDIT: There will be an open log for this event. It will go up Friday.
