|As a result, this has been my one and only term as Prime Minister. I must certainly say that it has been a wonderful time serving and while my real life commitments have gradually rendered my activity both in parliament and in WolvHaven to decrease, I sincerely wish the HoR and its future good luck in its future endeavours!

=== WolvHaveners decide on Permanent Residency rank implementation ===

Line 854:

Following the [[2020 Referendum on Permanent Residency (PR) Implementation|referendum]]'s result, Visitors promoted from January 15th were promoted to the [[Ranks|PR rank]] rather than being promoted to the citizen rank. This was done on a temporary basis until [[Parliament of WolvHaven|Parliament]] confirmed the measures decided upon in the [[2020 Referendum on Permanent Residency (PR) Implementation|referendum]]. The first [[Ranks|PRs]] would only be promoted to the [[Ranks|citizen]] rank from March of the same year when the [[Ranks|Citizen]] application process was finalised.

=== Removal of manual metro lines ===

==== Gradual phasing out of drivers in tandem with the closure of 4H ====

First announced as part of the [[Vision 2023]] program, the retirement of manual metro lines was confirmed by [[SilverWolv|President SilverWolv]] on May 1st 2022.

He stated that when the transition to [[New Wolfminster (5th Haven)|FifthHaven]] was officially made, that support for official manually operated metro lines would cease. This meant that operations for [[WolvHaven Metro (4th Haven)|WolvHaven Metro]] [[Metro Line 4 (4th Haven)|Lines 4]], [[Metro Line 5 (4th Haven)|5]], [[Metro Line 6 (4th Haven)|6]] and [[Metro Line 7 (4th Haven)|7]] would be suspended by 2023 and that there would not be any manually operated lines in [[New Wolfminster (5th Haven)|New Wolfminster]].

He explained his decision by stating that support for the manual lines had been getting increasingly difficult with the with the majority of [[Train Driving|train examiners]] being unavailable most of the time, making it hard to match players with examiners who are online at the same time. That a lot of administrative burden was involved in the upkeep of the system including the upkeep of driver records, and necessary custom plugins to tackle cheating in the system by players abusing exploits which were becoming increasingly burdenous on [[Staff]]. He also noted that a disproportionate amount of effort to serve a niche section of the community and that [[Staff]] had noted that the majority of the players who came on to drive trains only came online just to drive trains, and rarely interacted with other aspects of the server, or its community. This linked into his point that the gamemode was unsustainable and that players who came on just to drive metro trains eventually got bored or tired of the system and leave, whereby the only thing that would entice them to return would be an expansion of the system itself which was not sustainable.

==== Relaxation of driving restrictions ====

As promised in May 2022, on October 8th 2022, [[SilverWolv|President SilverWolv]] announced that from October 14th 2022, manual metro lines would be able to be driven by players who do not hold licenses and that players were able to access warps for the depots of these lines in the [[Department of Transport|DOT building]] in La Resistance/Dakota. All past driver blacklists were also waived.
