First Shift

The First Shift was a cataclysmic event which occurred in late 2007. Billiam decided that the current NaP was growing fast enough that some change was in order. He issued out a proclamation that the current site, NaP Classic, would be cast down and reforged into a new form more splendid than ever before. The decision was met with an easy going acceptance from the NaP Classic dwellers, and the plans were formalized.

Highway to Hell is the name given to the closing months of NaP Classic's lifespan. The rules were relaxed and a general informality ruled overall. It was meant to go for a small time period, but ended up stretching out for months until it ended, along with the site, in Mid-October. NaP Classic had ended, sending its inhabitants into confusion.

Within a few hours a small site was opened, made by the site's ordinary clientèle. It wasn't pretty, but it was home to the crowd who were left stranded after NaP Classic's sudden closure. Eventually it settled into a black-and-green colour it still uses today and continues to be a refuge whenever NaP becomes unstable. In this time there was no real set rules, and the inhabitants of NaP4now had to make do with an easygoing co-operative approach, with some hints of mob justice around the edges. This site lasted for a month or so, until the new site was created.



RP-wise
It is generally accepted within the Role playing community on the site that story-wise the First Shift was some catastrophic event which shattered the land and cast the characters into darkness, the "Black and green limbo" mentioned in the gospel. This has been a subject of many plots since then.
