News and Updates

Hey everyone, We will be using this thread to highlight when areas open/close, events as they are happening, etc. outside of BWU time. So here's the first announcement: Semester two begins tomorrow! First and second years should automatically be enrolled in their courses. Third years and above, don't forget to sign up for your lessons!! Also, make any purchases you need to as the holiday forums will be closing soon-ish.

Who will it be this month?? No need to wonder, just keep reading! :p Each month, we look to highlight a character who is exceptionally developed in some way. It might be that they have a great bio, great development area, a fun, creative way to show aspects of the character, some fun roleplays, etc. Usually, it's some combination of what I've mentioned and more. This month, we are happy to announce that the spotlight is on Marnie Frogg, roleplayed by Kris! :party: I just loved how...

Exams have now wrapped up and all classes are graded which means it's officially the end of Y41 and Slytherin has managed to win themselves the House Cup!

It's time for Sorting!! 🎉🎉 As usual, there are two routes for bringing new characters into the school for Y42: GET THEM SORTED!

This year staying rather comfortably ahead of most of the other houses and having almost double the points of Ravenclaw. A massive congratulations to Slytherin and all of the folks who worked for points in that house. Congratulations to...

Morning/afternoon/night all! As HNZ continues to develop and grow, we know that you expect the site staff to keep up, and we do too. Being a GM is a lot of responsibility, and we understand the free time it can take away from members' free time to enjoy the site. This is why we always extend an opportunity for past staff to step down when they don't have the time to participate fully as a GM and return when they do have the time. For that reason, we are always on the lookout for members who...
