The June Letter to the Players is up! You can find a copy here and offer your feedback on the Turbine site here! A new Marae Lassel spawn map has also been posted on the Turbine site here! I've gotten lots of inquiries from people asking me if I received their housing submission. When I said give me a few days to get the rest of them up, what I really meant to say was, er, give me a few *more* days!! ;-)

May 21, 2004
The Shattered Coil, a new lore piece is up on the Turbine site here! You can also find it in the patch section here!

May 20, 2004
The article on PvP Weapon changes has been added to the patch section here. You can add your feedback on the Turbine site here! The Mired Hearts patch page has received even more updates, as I continue to work through submissions! For whatever reason, there was an unusually large number this patch, even with the reported email bouncebacks. I suppose that's what happens when everyone in the game's underwear is suddenly exposed! ;-) Once the patch page is finally squared away, I'll be adding the rest of the housing resident submissions. If you don't see your name up yet, give me a few more days and I should have you added! Thanks once again to everyone who submitted info!!

I also edited the comment below about my vassal who rescued my cat to read "my wonderful vassal, Ned Cleversun." ;-)

I'm back in town, but still haven't had much of a chance to get the rest of the patch info up, although I think the basics are covered pretty well. I did browse through the pile of submissions and added a few more bits and pieces, including prelim info on the Dark Towers and, a few more creature pics, and the contents table. Sorry I missed it in the rush to get out of town! I'll be adding the updated Palenqual weapons info soon. For those of you who like to help fill in the blanks I'm missing pics and stats of the new shadows, and info on the Diplomat Token and Mosswart Thanking Stone. As I like to say, more coming soon! ;-)

Update: A new article on Crafting Changes is now up on the Turbine site, or  you can find it in the patch section here. You can post feedback on the article here!

May 16, 2004
Maps for the Renegade Fortress and the Burun Burrow have been added courtesy of Greeneye and Alunor of AC Maps! More to come, as soon as I get back in town!

May 14, 2004
The Mired Hearts patch page is continuing to receive updates as more patch info rolls in! As usual, I've received more submissions than I have time, so I still have over 100 emails to go through. If you don't see your info yet on the site, it doesn't mean that I don't love you!! I've been frantically trying to get ready to leave town today for a long weekend, complicated by a very busy work schedule and my indoor cat escaping outside and enjoying his very first taste of outdoor freedom. Thanks to tireless efforts of my wonderful vassal, Ned Cleversun, the cat came back. The very next day! Phew! Probably more details than you really needed to know ;-), but suffice it to say that there may be a delay in the remainder of the patch info making it up on the site. I'll have the laptop with me and will do what I can, time allowing. Thanks, as always, to everyone who submitted patch information! You're the best!

May 12, 2004
It's patch day! Yay! As usual, I've got a busy day at work, but I'll be updating the Mired Hearts patch page throughout the day as I'm able! I'll mention my usual reminders: please use the @day command and don't forget your in-game name and server. The best email for screenshots is the jackcat@spacestar.net address. For tips on taking screenshots please visit the mail and screenshots tips page! Thanks!

Update: Rollout Article and Dev Notes are now available here and here! Servers are on their way up!

I've just been so busy I haven't gotten to all the resident submissions for the housing section yet. If you don't see your name listed, you can be sure it's coming soon! Thanks to everyone participating in the section!

I semehow missed this this in my inbox the other day, but Turbine has launched their on-line store! You can now buy CD Keys directly from Turbine here!

I'm in continuing ed hell today, but ran to the office over lunch to return calls and check my email and found the announcement about this month's teaser being up, along with an exclusive teaser pic!! Yay!

The new housing section is coming along! More and more residents are being added to the database slowly but surely (more still to come)! Even a few brave Darktide souls have boldly stepped forward!

If you'd like to add your name as a resident to any housing settlement, simply go to that settlement page and use the email link in the right column to send your GAME NAME & SERVER to me. If you live in a non-unique named "Villa" or "Cottage" you'll also have to include the coordinates. (Monarchy info is still in progress.)

Many of you have asked what sort of pic I'd like of the settlements. I've gone through my collection of screenshots and added over 100 settlement pics to the section. Of course most were taken 2 graphics cards ago and before most settlements even had names! What I'd like is an angled overhead view that gives some general depiction of the surrounding landscape. It doesn't have to necessarily show every single cottage or villa in the settlement. You can see a few samples here, here, here and here. If you're sending screenshots, please use the jackcat@spacestar.net email address. Thanks!
