For those of you who don't remember what the dev team is. They're basically people who help build out parts of the game. They're different from moderators in that on HL they're just like any other player but different from normal players as they help make the magic happen behind the scenes. :)
May T-Shirt Winners
The winner of our May Top Contributor Prize was Nimue.
The winner of our May T-Shirt Raffle was Salazar.
The winners will receive their choice of designs available on http://hogwartslive.spreadshirt.com/
The Top Contributor Prize and T-Shirt Raffle will continue again for the month of June so be sure to check out the Candy Raffle on the lefthand side of the main site under the -Global- section.
New Villages! And a RACE!
The Ministry is open to any Witch/Wizard and higher, regardless of alignment. No. 12 Grimmauld Place is only open to those Witches and Wizards who are of good alignment, and Spinner's End is only open to Witches and Wizards who are evil. To make it a bit clearer, good players can't get to Spinner's and evil players can't get to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.
In addition to these villages, we have added one new race: Death Eaters.
As the name implies, this is for players who are or who wish to be EVIL. If you are good and you choose this race, you will become evil INSTANTLY. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Also, to follow along with the books, this race is only open once you have attained 7 VEs. In other words, only to Witches and Wizards and higher.
Have fun and thanks for playing!

Staff Suggestions
Please petition your suggestions.
Just to clear something up...we are not asking you to vote for new staffers, we're only asking for SUGGESTIONS. So if you're one of those people that keeps asking other players to "vote" for you, STOP. Getting a bunch of your friends to petition your name does not increase your chances of being considered for staff.
