After analyzing my stats recently and realizing how popular the Exploration Society Letters Quests were, in addition to the numerous letters I've received lately from newbies, I thought it would be a good idea to put the starter quests up in the quest section. Since I've already researched and written them, it will just be a matter of tweaking and reformatting them. I've started with the Al-Arqas and Holtburg quests. I hope to have the rest up in the next few days.

I've finally added the fabulous screenshots to the Hieromancer's Armor quest. Thanks to Danier and Doogen for sending them to me! That's not really my armor to the right. Danier let me borrow his, just to see what it looks like. The crest is gorgeous! There's a nice shot of Danier, Ubaldi and Money (Doogen's mule) posing in the three different colors holding the Hieromancer's Orb, the Blue Orb and the Globe of Auberean. You'll notice that the dark blue coat is missing. Oh well, you can't win them all! ;-) Good luck next week, Doogen! We're all rooting for you!

I also sent out a new newsletter yesterday. If you've signed up and didn't receive one, drop me an email. There seemed to be a significantly larger than usual number of bounce-backs, especially from @excite and @home users.

Thanks to Danier for sending in a few corrections on the Hieromancer's Armor quest. It's a Diamond Golem which drops the Key for the Dress Trunk in the Lyceum, not the Guardian. The Guardian is at the Hieromancer's Hall and will cast a nice spell on you at death. It's also now confirmed that the Geode drops in both the lower and medium dungeon. Check out the quest page for other modifications and additions. I hope to have screenshots up in the near future! Thanks to Yu Da-Len and Senshin of MT for additional details!

Congratulations to my wonderful vassal on Level 60!

Everyone wants to know how to get one of those cool Power Rangers suits and that neato globe thingy. Find out here in the Hieromancer's Armor quest. There's lots of goodies to be had, including a Cooking V Dress and Boots of the Vault. Even the scribes got love this month! I think this just may be the best patch ever!

February 21, 2001
I added my fabulous screenshots to the Singularity Quest. Belated thanks to  Rashyd al-Razi (formerly known as the guy whose name starts with an "R"). More patch info coming soon! ;-)

Letters updated: Red Jewels, Virindi Shrouds and a charming little ditty about Pack Golems! Everyone loves toys.

February 20, 2001
It's another new quest! Find out how to make a Singularity Weapon, those sparkly blue Axes, Maces, Spears and Swords, in another great quest from this month's patch! Or if magic's more your scene, learn a new method for obtaining Diamond Scarabs. Thanks to Danier, Ned Cleversun, Mac the Axe and the guy whose name starts with an "R" (sorry!) for the fun! 

Even bigger news! Maggie the Jackcat closes the level gap back to 20 as she levels to 39!

Ask and ye shall receive! Thanks for the very many, many of you who stopped by to put in a nice word and to boost the stats on my ratings page of the Top 100 list. *sniff* I love you guys!! *wipes tear from eye*

I told my vassal I wouldn't get into a pissing match with a certain clan again, but really, it doesn't take  a rocket scientist to figure out who's bringing my stats down. And as much as I'd like to take credit for the comments that have been attributed to me, I really can't. It's not my style to say nasty things under the cloak of anonymity. I prefer to do it right here on my Update page where I can be assured of the greatest possible audience!

As a small matter of housekeeping, I have gone ahead and removed the external link to EpiK's portal map in response to the following:

"For the record, Maggie has purloined some stuff off our site without permission, too - EpiK portal map, anyone?)"

Go figure. I thought most sites *liked* links! ;-)

February 18, 2001
New quest! Thanks to the assistance of Gheres Reficul and his mighty Bandit Blade, I've posted information on the new Tumerok Outposts! You can find full details in the quest section under the Tumerok Vanguard Outposts

More coming soon! ;)

On another note, my ratings on the Top 100 list took a nose dive the other day in a way that could only have happened by several people rating my site with a ONE!! Previously, I had had a nice rating solidly in the mid 9's for quite some weeks. 

So if you have an extra moment, feel free to stop by and give me a big fat TEN to return the world to its proper order! ;-) Rate Maggie the Jackcat's Kick-Ass Fabulous Web Site here.

I only have this to say to whomever deliberately lowered my stats: you're assholes! 

(She has such a charming way about her, doesn't she? Haha.)

I have never tried to make this the biggest, bestest AC site out there and don't feel the need to compete with other sites. I have the site because it's fun for me and I like doing it. 

I do, however, protect my work, which I invest a lot of my free time in, and will continue to do so as long as I get enjoyment out of maintaining this site. Stuff like this just makes me wonder why people have to go and be jerks. No, I don't think people are broken. But some of them definitely could use a good smack up-side the head! ;-)

Now STFU or go red! (I've always wanted to say that!)

[Edited 2-18-01 My vassal wrote to me suggesting that I edit my rant. He is so sweet to be concerned about me! After reading his advice and careful consideration, I've edited the rant, but have decided to leave it up.]

February 16, 2001
Patch day! Yay! It never fails. I always seem to have these endless days at work every patch day! I did, however, pull together a patch page with the generous help of Danier, Doogen's Mage, Lycius, Morat Dawnstrider, Neobyte, and Ned Cleversun!

Eeeek! What's that? A little mousie ran where??! ;-)

I'm sure you've seen them by now, but if you haven't, check out my Lonely In The World patch page for pics of the charming toys given to players in apology for the recent rollback. Somebody's got to say it: they sure are CUTE!!!! I hope to be putting together an animated .gif of that Ursuin butt-waggle soon! 

And that's not all! Tons of new lore, great new quests, new spells, new dungeons and more. As always, you can catch Ulgrim's sayings here & the Town Crier's new rumors here.

There's plenty of room for adventure and romance in the land of Dereth, in between all the fun of killing stuff! Happy Valentine's Day wishes from Maggie the Jackcat, especially to my wonderful vassal, Ned Cleversun. I still treasure my beautiful Gold Tachi with the BD III that you gave me this past year.

Letters updated! Thanks for all the great mail, and once again I apologize if I'm unable to answer them all personally. The Inbox is overflowing, so I hope to get more of them up on the site soon! Read questions on Potions, Templates, Masks, Ice Balls and more!

Slowly but surely the Shopping section is filling out. Al-Arqas added to the Vendor Rates page. All Al-Arqas vendors have been added to the various Bargain pages as well. Special thanks to Abe Ra'Ham from The Chosen of Harvestgain for help with the Al-Arqas data.

The Beasties page was also updated with stats of some of the creatures I've been missing. Thanks to Danier, Chin-Pow of Morningthaw and Archer from Hell for the info. Among the creatures added were Relic Bones, Cursed Bones, Cursed Wisp, Sahoni Arsanc, Dark Magus, Faisi Sclavus,  Chomu Sclavus, and Lithos Raider. Stats on a few of the Undead were also updated.

The reason for my slacker updating is finally revealed! I've been working hard on the CoD revamp with Allen and the gang. Yesterday was the launch, so be sure to check it out. It's beeeyooootiful! The pic to the right is my favorite skin -- the Magma Golem. 

(Disclaimer: This site is not affiliated with Crossroads Gaming Network. The opinions expressed on this site are my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Crossroads Network.)

So now that that project is under control, I intend to get back to regular updates here. To start things off, I've updated the Alchemical Formulas page with information on making Infusions from Peas. 

Even bigger news! Ned Cleversun's loyalty reaches 147 -- the goalpost set by Danier long ago! I finally raised my Arcane Lore high enough to be able to wear my Leadership V Crown (with the assist on an Arcane Enlightenment IV Bracelet and a Focus III Ring) to take better advantage of the outpouring of Experience he generates. But even with that extra boost, Ned Cleversun's level increases to 21 over mine. Congratulations on reaching 59! 

And of course, when Ned's Loyalty increases, his deaths do too. Up 48 to 907!
