Chapter Seven: Progression Seasons
The blast left behind a crack in the ground when Syncademy reached Stormblood in October. First barely noticed, it soon begun to create a rift in Syncademy's playerbase. A rift between new players still in ARR/HW and the raiders in Omega, who further grew the gap with each successful blind progression on a newly faced boss on their journey to Shadowbringers.

Something needed to change before the pack of raiders would move on to Eden after Omega and all ShB Ex Trials. Otherwise a lot of players who joined, and continue to join, will face a huge rift in front of them, a struggle just to catch up. That's why the decision was made to turn back time and raid Alexander on a different timeline next to Eden on the Progression Raid days. Both timelines are currently only tests of the concept and will be expanded to their full potential if they are successful, with ARR/HW on the first and SB/ShB on the second to introduce the full progression circle.

With over 138 unique players participating over the last three months and over 700 members on the Discord server, Syncademy has continued to grow quite a lot. Study Groups, our semi-static way of raiding, are becoming more popular, new Students's Associations bring the community to whole new game worlds or to the frontlines of Bozja and the newest student rank additions fill another gap to grant a better progression through Syncademy.

To keep up with the growth of the community and to support new players, Syncademy's staff is constantly on the lookout to find additional raid leaders. Furthermore, the Mentor program will be improved to offer help and a sprout-friendly "Synced first!" raid day planned on Mondays in the near future.

With the understanding of time salvaged from Alexander's heart and the newly debugged processing power of Omega, Syncademy brings a flood of old content progression raiding on a seasonal level. Let's raid across space and time together!
