About

Greetings!

As one of HBC's oldest commanders on Japanese Flower Knight Girl who had been actively involved in relaying patch updates for the majority of last year, I have always wanted to see the megathread evolve into a subforum, as this will enable me to post future patch updates in a separate thread other than the chat thread, where they get overlooked.

The time has come to unveil this World Flower Journal^TM, a thread that is mainly intended to: 1) give Japanese Flower Knight Girl news its much-needed space so that it will be easily accessible to fellow commanders, and 2) provide properly translated reports, given that the notes are originally in Japanese (there may be potential for misinterpretations). The starter post will have the next maintenance schedule from the pre-maintenance notice lifted from either the game's official newsfeed or Twitter account. After maintenance, each post will have an outlined report containing the changes that have been made.
