Resolved: Please notice for the time being you can only access the guide through this link as there are a few problems adding the link to the City Guides page which will be worked out shortly.
01-Jan-2009 – Site editors
Of course, this is only the beginning - many more updates are planned for 2009 and we will need more site editors in the near future! Site editors will be picked based on their contributions to the site and helpful, friendly members will have a higher chance of getting this position!
25-Dec-2008 – Myths of the White Lands Quest Guide
Explorer Jack may have taken a break from exploring, but he hasn't given up his old habits quite yet. His constant search for myths that could potentially hold secrets to rare trinkets and other trophies has led him to a passing snow imp, who told him a tale of riches in the distant Land of Snow. Just the task for any wannabe explorer! He now wants you to go and investigate the imp's story to discover if it holds any truth...

07-Dec-2008 – My activity + future updates
Unlike previous updates, these updates all have one primary goal: to involve many more people in the main site by giving members the ability to add and edit guides and database entries. This requires some very important changes to ensure the security of all visitors and avoid malicious edits. Some features related to this are:
- A filter that removes potentially malicious code such as JavaScript, inline frames and so on.
- A revision system which allows all editors to see other editors' changes, with the ability to revert changes.
Obviously, it is also very important that editors can edit the content easily, otherwise they won't be bothered to do anything. Unfortunately, the current system isn't very effective nor user friendly. To edit something, one must login to an administration panel (with a login separate from the forum login) and edit everything in an admin panel that doesn't even look like the rest of the site. It would obviously be much easier to just click an "edit" button when you view a guide or database entry, and then be able to edit it if you're already logged in to the site/forum.
These features are all in progress, and most of them are almost ready. Some need more testing, so I have given two regular members the ability to edit guides and the item database: Syntax Error and Death. Both have been very active for a while and have also had access to the administration control panel for a few months. Thes are now being moved to the "Site editors" group, which hopefully will grow in the future.
I'm planning to give all staff members and users who have been contributing to the site the same ability as these two members after the updates described in this post. And since people obviously are wondering when all this is going to happen, here's a deadline I've set for myself: January 1st 2009. There's still a lot to do, but we really need these updates if we want to expand the site and keep existing guides and databases updated. The sooner, the better.
Expect to see more updates in the future!

30-Aug-2008 – All Fired Up Quest Guide
Over the years, the kingdoms of Asgarnia and Misthalin have become increasingly uncomfortable about the possibility of threats from the Wilderness and Morytania. King Roald has taken matters into his own hands and has commissioned a network of beacons to be built across the land, from the Temple of Paterdomus at the border of Morytania, along the northern borders of Misthalin and Asgarnia and up along the western border of the Wilderness. The communication network is already in place, but King Roald could use a little help making sure everything is ready to go, in the event of emergency....
