March 31, 2004
More revisions have been added to the Quests section. I've finally started getting some of the Mirror, Mirror changes off the patch page and onto the quest pages! The Bracelet of Dark Essence section of the Preparation for the Ritus quest updated with the new location of Aerbax's Holding. The Quintessence Sickle quest updated with the Singularity Bore creature updates and the new look and stats of the sickle. The Flag quest updated with changes to Baron Nuvillus's Castle where the Spinning Wheel is located. A short write-up on the Homecoming Pennant added. I still have the Caul Recall quest to do, but I've at least put a note at the top of the write-up to check the patch page for changes!

March 30, 2004
The Masks section has finally received a major revision! All the newer masks have been pulled from the various patch pages and added. The section is also broken up into several sections. There's a lot of masks out there!! Now you can find separate pages on Creature Masks, Virindi Masks, Heritage Masks and Quest Masks!

March 29, 2004
The April Letter to the Players is already up! You can find it on the Turbine site here or in the April patch section, A New Threat, here! Part 2 of the lore article Across the Vast Divide added to the Texts section here!

I know updates have been a little slow lately, but as I like to say... more coming soon!

March 25, 2004
Turbine posts the lore account of Antius's conversation with Rage Lao! You can find it on the Turbine Site here! Someone should really let Antius know about the /tell command! ;-)

And yet another article, this time about the Buffing Improvements!

March 24, 2004
Exciting goings-on occurred late last night! Rage Lao of MT was approached by Antius Blackmoor and questioned about his experiences in the Blackmire Temple! Visit the Across the Vast Divide patch page for details!

Patch page also updated with a few more Blackmire rewards and other tidbits. Several items from the Stuff I'd Like page also added!

March 23, 2004

The Across the Vast Divide received even more updates, including a few more pics, a few more fellowship spells, and more rumors! Thanks to everyone continuing to send in missing info!

Good news on being able to purchase CD Keys for AC. Ramen has announced they will be available later today from Fileplanet.com!

March 11, 2004
The Across the Vast Divide received numerous updates, including some of the lesser weapons from the new Temple quest! New creatures, new Caul boss trophies, new cool quest rewards, fellowship spells, a peeking Pookie, an update to Portal space, seekrit portal.dat surpises and a hookable portal!! I think this just might be the best patch ever!! Thanks, as always, to everyone who sent in submissions!

A new article on The Future of PvP has also been posted on the Turbine Site here!

March 10, 2004
It's patch day! I'll be updating the Across the Vast Divide throughout the day, as I'm able! Just a reminder to use the jackcat@spacestar.net email address to send screenshots!

While waiting for the servers to come up, why not hop on over to the Turbine Forums and visit the new feedback thread regarding new proposals for the settlement portals!

March 9, 2004
Patch day has been confirmed for tomorrow, so just a reminder: if you have characters on Darktide, today is your last day to claim your token and xp from a Town Crier!

March 7, 2004
The crew at AC Maps have been hard at work! Several maps have been added to various quest pages, including the Tenkarrdun Foundry on Aerlinthe, Gerent's Compound for the Energy Crystal, the Sclavus Temple for the Gareth Dain quest, and 4 sections (20+, 40+, 60+, 80+) of the Olthoi Chasm!! Thanks, as always to Greeneye, Tlosk of HG and Alunor of MT! You are very brave!

I've also added about 50 more pics to the Dungeons and Landmarks sections from my own explorations and contributions from other like-minded explorers! As a result, a few quests received some minor updates. The Sword of Lost Light now lists a few more places to find spawning rumors. An additional Mosswart camp has been added to the Ice Tachi quest. Finally, the Yanshi Starter quests list a few more dungeons where you can find additional writings of Jhong Mi!

March 5, 2004
The March teaser is up! You can find it on the Turbine site here. Exclusive teaser shot can be found on the Across the Vast Divide page here!

March 4, 2004
Thanks to Julian's Touch of TD for sending more details on finding a token for the Zharalim quest! Me and my vassal have put our time in, I can tell you! Full write-up coming soon (as soon as I find my elusive shreth-gnawed corpse! ;-)!

FYI: Ibn has posted another housing proposal feedback thread here!

Today is the day Turbine takes over Customer Service and Technical Support! Visit the newly updated Turbine Site for tons of helpful information!

A few more details were added to the Madness of Men patch page (including the map for the Decrepit Tower, courtesy Tlosk of HG and Greeneye at AC Maps), although I wasn't able to add everything that has been submitted as I had hoped. You can find, however, a page that compiles many of the comments by srand and Ibn on the new loot changes. More coming soon! ;-)
