December 27, 2001
I'm back to updating! Thanks to Spike Lady of WE for the new Uziz Settlement Portals. I've also finally updated the Towns & Portals page with the Marae Lassel information. Coordinates page in the Tourism section updated as well with the Dark Majesty goodies. They're all grouped under Marae Lassel instead Redspire/Timaru, etc. on the page to make them easier to use. The Maps are still woefully outdated and full of broken links, but I hope to update the pages soon to finish out the section.

December 24, 2001
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Joy to the World! And joyous tidings from Marae Lassel as well. Duncan Idaho of SC sends info on Rubble and a new Tonk Totem for the Hea Totem quest. The three notes from Aun Hareltah have been moved over to the Texts section and the totem tables have been updated to more easily see the spells for each totem.

December 21, 2001
More fun with The First Strike. Grimshaw of WE sent in a pic of the Two-Headed Snowman discovered by Mike Da Cool of MT! Other miscellaneous details added. Vapor Golem Heart info added to the Marae Lassel Crafters & Collectors page. Quests updated with Snowmen and Bunny Slippers. Dereth Map found in the Training Academy added to the Gallery.

December 20, 2001
I thought this was just too fabulously funny to wait 'til tomorrow's update! Visit The First Strike patch page for info on White Bunny Slippers!

December 20, 2001
More additions to The First Strike page! A picture of a snowman, peppermint sticks, creature stats, updated welcome letter and more! Interior Decorating page updated with the new holiday items available from the woodsman, as well as the hearth, screen, bed and bedroll now sold by the Arcanum vendors. Items from the Training Academy also added! After decorating my house with a fireplace, wreaths and a Christmas tree, dancing with my neighbors--clad in their bunny slippers, running a noob through the training academy and setting my plush tusker up to guard my front door, I think this just might be the best patch ever!

December 19, 2001
Worlds are back up, but alas, duty calls! I'll be updating the page again tonight, so keep the info coming! In the meantime, a few new pics added to The First Strike page.

Purchase price updated for housing. (Villa unknown.)

December 19, 2001
I went to bed instead of waiting for the servers. A few more additions made to The First Strike page! I guess I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow night to get my... fuzzy wuzzy bunny slippers!! (Oh dear. I hope the ACDEL doesn't hear about this! ;-)

December 18, 2001
I took a quick break from my endless job duties to pop up some pics and stats that came in from earlier today. You can visit a preliminary The First Strike patch page for info on what awaits! Some Town Crier Rumors and Ulgrim the Unpleasant sayings are also available! Thanks to everyone who sent info in. More coming soon! (When we can get back in, that is ;-).

Yellow Pages updated with the new Turbine AC:DM Web Site! New Emotes added to the Emotes page (without full descriptions).

December 18, 2001
Sounds like we're certainly in for an interesting patch! Matty Robes and Pre-patch Shadow Armor! I apologize for not having fresh reading material for you while the servers are down. I got side-tracked by a game of trivia on the Zone (just kidding). As usual, I'll be putting up a patch page for The First Strike event in the Auberean History section. Just a reminder to please use the jackcat@spacestar.net address to send any pics!

[Oops. Must have been tired when I read the letter last night. Looks like the Matty and the Pre-Patch are in for Feb., not this month. Thanks to Kenshiero for the correction!]

December 17, 2001
I've finally added the Olthoi Egg Foods, made from the Olthoi Eggs dropped by the Queen in the Dark Majesty quest. Special thanks to Thorin the Bear and Ho Chun of Frostfell for pics and info! Recipes updated as well.

Dyes page updated with the new icons for Verdalim and Lapyan plants and dyes. Now you can tell your Lapyan and Colban apart! Thanks to Sugardaddy, the sad mule of doom, for the pics!

If anyone is still having issues with the new log-in, there will be another Zone chat at 6PM PT.

I'd also like to say thank you for the recent contributions to the tip jar. I appreciate your generosity!

December 15, 2001
A new link for those who are still having issues with their name already having been claimed. This form allows you to reset your claimed name. I am hearing reports of happy results, so I hope this works for some of you. 

December 13, 2001
I personally haven't attempted to log-in to the game these past two days. I know myself. If I had a repeat of the frustration I had with the AC:DM launch I would have an almost uncontrollable urge to quit AC forever and ever. And I *really* love AC! 

I've received many *many* letters from people asking for help with the process. A workaround my vassal successfully used can be found here. The Zone's .NET Troubleshooting page can be found here. Hope that helps.

December 11, 2001
Letters updated! Finally, I know. Something to read during the .NET Passport change down-time. Read about Small Golems, Aun Ralirea, a Tale of a Tusker and more! November Letters archived.

Several rewards updated on the Marae Lassel Crafters and Collectors page. House purchasing information updated to reflect the most recent trophy item. Thrown Weapons Harpoon added to the Skill Credit quest page. Spawn times on Baron's Amulet quest updated. Hollow Sword stats updated. Crop timer added. Essence coords added to the future Level VII spell page. Other miscellaneous stuff added/corrected.

December 10, 2001
Big news! My wonderful vassal, Ned Cleversun has turned 75! He celebrated this momentous event by increasing his loyalty by 2 to 154 and his death total by 60 to 1371. 

No content update today because... well, I appear to have been overtaken by a sickness. Must... kill... Ferals. Must... kill... Ferals! Must... KILL... FERALS!!! ;-) 

December 9, 2001
Life Magic spells have been added to the Magic section. Three down, one to go! (I do plan to add Level VII spells eventually, also.) 

December 7, 2001
If you're like me, you've been scouring the boards trying to get as much information as possible about the upcoming changes to the Passport log-in. Since I've seen the same concerns popping up again and again, I've written a .NET Passport Tips page for AC users with a few suggestions you might consider. [Insert appropriate legal disclaimers here! ;-)]

December 5, 2001
Just wanted to say a quick thank you to the flood of nice letters I received in response to me mentioning someone being rude to me in-game. It *is* a rare occurrence, and just happened to hit me on a particularly cranky day! I love you all too. :)

I usually don't post news, but since this will affect all AC accounts, I wanted to direct people's attention to the new FAQ on the Zone about the upcoming change in log-in procedures. There's a Zone Chat tonight to address your questions and concerns.

December 2, 2001
The Beasties page in the Pets section has been updated with the huge list of creatures from the last several patches -- the Tumeroks from the Banners quest, all the Creature Lords, the Marae Laseel creatures, and more! The AC:DM CD also included an updated bestiary in the Goodies section. I've updated the Lore bits accordingly. This page is now really way too big to be on one page, but I haven't had the time to revise the presentation. For now, it will just be very slow to load!

I still have info from massive amounts of email to add to the site. I just wanted to say thank you, and to let you know I *am* getting it, and getting to it. More coming soon! :)

November New Stuff archived.

Last, I hate to bring this up on the site, but it's really becoming a growing problem for me. I do greatly enjoy meeting and talking to people in-game. However, I'd like to mention the following: 1) Please do not track me down in-game to ask about being on the Runway. This will not increase your chances; 2) I do not know when houses will be going on the market, or where they are currently for sale. I have no inside information. I repeat: I have no inside information!! 3) If you call me a "lier" because you think you have found inaccurate information on the site (which, by the way, *was* accurate, you moron), you will be immediately squelched. If you must insult me, or bad-mouth my site, I prefer email, so I can at least get some good content for the Letters section out of it! 4) No, I do not need a Patron. 

Ok, that last one was just a little joke. ;-)

Waterlady, Logan Silvermoon,
Greentea, Cute Bear Bear, No Eye See, and I T pose in their new White Bunny Slippers!
