Background: The price argument had quieted for a few days, but questions remained in the chat after Tollan Universe closed the bridge for its genesis avatars. Someone who had kept an avatar for two years had only now learned that missing the bridge meant losing future support. A bare 'too late' did not seem like an adequate answer.
Today: There was no new event. The narrator and a chat member tried to explain the known rules plainly: the bridge was closed; the traits and rarity rankings of the 1,348 bridged avatars were locked; unbridged avatars were no longer supported or eligible for holder rewards. The member worried that blunt wording would hurt people. The narrator thought vague wording would send them looking for a late entry route that did not exist.
Impact and next steps: They decided to phrase the explanation so late holders could understand it, while acknowledging their disappointment and promising no exception. The avatars' status was settled, but the community still had reason to discuss why some holders had missed the bridge and how to avoid similar gaps in communication.
