I would like to ask if there are plans for lessons.

If there are no plans at the moment, I would like to give my suggestions as below:

*****

On the old server, players can draw upon pre-existing lore for lessons, whether teaching as a professor or participating as a student.

However, since we cannot use the old lore anymore, what will players use for lessons?

I think the immediate idea that comes to mind, keeping with the trend of "one-to-one replacement", is to write a brand new set of original lore.

I believe that some basic world-building is necessary to explain the purpose and existence of the GoM school and the various roles on the server (e.g. Void).
However, if the new lore becomes too complicated, then it becomes ineffective.
Certainly I am not going to read a novel-sized wall of text just to understand what kind of fictional plants I can teach about in Botany class.

Which is why I would like to suggest:
Non-spell lessons should have themes that allow players to teach / participate using real world knowledge.

Many of the old classes can be changed 1-to-1 with some adjustments:

• Botany: Players can teach about real world plants, herbs, flowers, gardening, etc, rather than fictional plants.
  This can include uses of herbs in cooking, language / symbolism of flowers, use of poisonous plants in the making of poisons, etc.
  
  
• Astrology: Players can teach about real world astrology, like planets, moons, black holes, other space phenomenon, etc (which was already being done on the old server)
  
  
• Zoology: Players can teach about real world animals, like interesting organisms or even everyday animals like cats and dogs.
  Considering GoM's mythology theme, perhaps mythological creatures can be included as well (e.g. minotaur, medusa, etc).
  I see that player models have been made for such creatures, which can make lessons even more immersive.
  
  
• Human Culture: Players can teach about various human cultures in different parts of the planet
  
  
• Earth History: Players can teach about various events that happened in human history, rather than a fictional in-universe history
  (Even on the old server, this lesson was rarely taught in detail despite the pre-existing lore to work with)
  
  
• Current Affairs: Players can teach / discuss about real world current affairs.
  Not sure whether this will open up a can of worms for political talk, but I figured it would be a good avenue for players to talk about relevant ongoing events.
  

I believe that this will make lessons more interactive and give players an incentive to participate in class, rather than sit silently and wait for homework. (Or not even show up for class until it's time for homework.)

I believe that spell-teaching classes will remain more or less the same, since teachers can simply base their lessons on whatever spell they intend to teach, e.g. "Today I'm going to be teaching X. This spell does Y. I need a volunteer for demonstration."]]>

I hope this message finds you well. I understand that the SBS server on the Galaxy of Magic gamemode has become inactive and the player base has almost diminished. However, I have heard that a big update including a new map is coming soon, which has generated excitement and anticipation among the players.

In light of this upcoming update, I would like to suggest that you consider re-evaluating the current staff team. With the new map and features being added, there will likely be an increase in activity on the server. An effective and active staff team will be crucial in ensuring that the new players have a positive experience on the server.

By requiring the current staff team to re-apply for their positions and re-evaluating their performance, you will have the opportunity to see who is still committed to their role and who may need to step down or be replaced. This process will also allow you to assess the skills and abilities of each member of the staff team and make changes to the team as needed to ensure that it is operating effectively.

I believe that a well-functioning staff team will be a key factor in the success of the new update and in attracting new players to the SBS server.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to seeing the positive changes that will come from this process.]]> The Guy

I was slightly dissapointed with the new update that there wasn't any, it could be as easy as making the old dean model a professor.

It'd be cool also to give the professors each names in their job description in the F4 menu, just to contribute even a little bit to a bit of world building. A sort of personality should be added in the description too to give incentive to roleplay in that specific style should a player choose too. E.g: Add the old dean model onto the Art of Spellcasting professor jobs, and in the description put: "Professor Drumslow, Professor and of Master of the Art of Spellcasting, Harsh to a tee, be careful not to get on his bad side.", and for another professor, e.g: Ancient Magicks, you might put in the description "Professor Poppums, Professor of Ancient Magicks, some Scholars of Starbright say they're completely insane and mad with the things they talk about in class, it's amazing they're even a professor!"

Miscellaneous jobs like the Samurai and Warrior of Bastet are cool and all but the server is and has always been quite literally been built around classes to progress, yet no one ever engages with the idea of teaching a class as it's so bland. I think this could help with that.

I'd like to air out my thoughts on the new spells that were added in the latest update.

---

Deafen - Very nice, long time coming. Attractive to trolls.

Scrub-A-Dub - Another long time coming, I just wish it worked on the world but that's probably not possible.

Shank - This one feels like it pitches Blade Frenzy at its throat as the two are essentially the same, 1 just does the damage in 1 hit. The cooldown feels a little long but makes a bit of sense in comparison to Blade Frenzy. 

---

Vengeance - I enjoy this spell, I find it really funny. It is entirely understandable though that people don't enjoy it in the context of Lockdowns or fighting at some kind of Quidditch Pitch, if the server sticks with an NLR timer of 200 seconds, 1 could simply keep using Vengeance and keep returning and get shot with Abracadabra and come to a draw with no skill involved. It could use some sort of cooldown increase or a way to stop Abracadabra and Obliterate resulting in 1 shots reflected back at the caster, but I think this would make the spell quite a bit more redundant. 
EDIT: I've been informed that the cooldown starts when you cast the spell, and I think it would be much more beneficial to have the cooldown start AFTER the vengeance is used up, to limit abuse and constant use and reliance on a spell that requires little to no skill to use.

Vengeance Other - I'm yet to unlock this spell, but I can't help but imagine a bunch of Low Acuitys and someone with this spell giving it all to them, then charging out onto the battlefield during a lockdown and dying with grace. This is on my bucket list.

---

Amnesia - It's ok I guess, a little underwhelming especially due to spellbinds and just being able to reselect the spell you had with ease.

Batchoo - Cool to get an Avian Conjure spell that works on other players.

Divinate - I find this spell really interesting to use sometimes, as every one has a different spell that was last used on them, really nice.

Spellepathy - This spell is a cool concept and I like it for that, but it does not show the last spell casted, it only shows the spell the player has selected, rendering its entire purpose (e.g: Prefect checks student to see they aren't freespelling, student in question can just equip a different spell.) useless.

---

Enfeeble II - Ignoring Enfeeble I as it's just the same but lesser, this spell feels very redundant, as 10% feels like quite a low amount (Only lowering Viridio to 18 damage instead of 20, and Supernova to 45), should be buffed to maybe 25% instead.

Malfundo II - In a similar sense to Enfeeble, I think a higher percent would make this more viable to use on people, as 10% is quite a low amount. However I do like the introduction of the fizzle element to spell casting.

Vulnerability II - Same as above weakening spells.
