I know homework is being rewritten to be easier to complete- will the same happen with OWLs and NEWTs?

One more thing. Am I allowed to create a shop with my iNPC and use it along with my PC’s shop or can I just own one shop?

Fantastic question. I sadly do not know the answer off-hand. But, I imagine that would be up to the Professor's discretion, similar to how it was encouraged to make the homework easier (and some did indeed do so).

You can create a shop as your iNPC. I don't see why you can't have both at the same time (although, if they offer the same service, one may not get as much traffic).

OWLS and NEWTS may get a little easier but I doubt as easy as the HWs are because they have to do with the job system. Ways around NEWTS and OWLs would be prodigal or librarian.

I see, thank you!

I am a little confused about how the Marauder's Map works. It is just a thing or can you actaully see the people on the site?

It shows people online that allow you to know they are online. The information though are made up.

No, As far as I'm aware and what is definitely the case for Potions Class, OWLs and NEWTs are not being rewritten to be made easier, for

1. They do not provide Spells or Potions.
2. They are also supposed to be a tad more challenging than regular HW.

To clarify how the map works:

• The map shows which users are currently online and their last known location within Hogwarts Castle, based on their most recent pinged forum activity.
• You may also see some light-hearted activity descriptors (e.g., “cheating on a test,” “laughing,” or “eating soup”) — these are purely for fun and are tied to your last known location.

It is important to note: Privacy Settings Matter

• You must have your visibility enabled in our privacy settings to appear on the map.
• You must be visible to others to see others — we do not allow users to view the map while remaining invisible themselves. This is a safeguard to prevent anyone from using the feature in a “creepy” or voyeuristic way.

There is also a delay in permission updates.

• If you change your privacy settings, it may take up to 24 hours for changes to take full effect. This delay exists to prevent behavior like toggling visibility just to check the map and then immediately hiding again.

This system is designed to balance fun with respect for player privacy. If you have concerns, feel free to reach out!

I have a question. If I send an owl with my Inpc does that mean I can rp in the owlery? So before, we could rp with our Inpc by typing from our pc, but now that they have their own accounts, I wanted to ask.
