Also, guaging a lot of online chatter, I expect a large exodus over the coming months are OaC and Warhammer are coming out.

ok, The site is officially open. submitted our presence to the web search engines. Things are looking good. Made upgrades to snowlands area with the addition of objects and trees that really bring it out. Will spend the rest o the week mking finese changes to the other two sites and focus on a WoW specific area. Could be a lot of work for what may end up to be a barren site.

9-5-07

Things are set. Constructed the Username/password logins and upgraded to allow editing of characters following submission. With that, a lot of reconstruction of many pages for security. Very close to listing the site on the search engins and then fully concentrate on monument items and graphics.

8-30-07

8-24-07

Yet another area made!!! TheForrest of Moreesh'll. im getting a lot better at land creation. made a logt of changes to allow streamlining for multiple lands. Kept the cool items from the previous HILLS area but I plan on nixing the forrest and making these areas a Japanese/American Indian themed.

8-17-07

Finished 2nd site. "Taithmar Hills" Its looking very cool. I decided to go with a japanese theme as opposed to the viking theme on the Snowlands. Working on coordinating all the logistics in the CGI scripts and it seems to be coming together. Should be able to finish it up fairly soon and start working on the third land with a forrest Theme. I am thinking after that, can likely open the site and work on improvements then. Very cool

8-7-08

A long day. Updated the new menu to include all options. Reset the webpage templates. Fixed links and images.Fixed chardisplay CGI code. Nearly complete on the FLASH monument creation program for snowlands. I'm close enough that I think I can make the 2nd area soon.
