Every once in a while, we release a new Bell Tree Direct in The Bulletin Board when we have a few significant announcements to make on site additions and changes. This can include new collectibles, rule changes, new events, visual updates, new features, staff changes, and more. Restocks in the Shop often coincide with these as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often are Bell Tree Directs released? When is the next one?
There's no predetermined schedule for Bell Tree Directs. We release them when we feel we have either one or two significant changes, or many minor changes worthy of announcing at once. There are definitely trends in frequency and timing though, check the archive to get a general idea.
Are Bell Tree Directs announced in advance?
Some are announced days or hours in advance, while others are just released without notice. We generally determine this based on significance of the announcements, and how confident we are about committing to a specific date/time.
Do Shop restocks come alongside Bell Tree Directs?
Restocks in the forum shop often coincide with Bell Tree Directs, but this is not a guarantee.
