Yar!
This is just to let everyone know that the cost of training skills/spells was reduced by 50%. For those that are curious exactly how I determined that, anything that required a level but did not require a skill (like Alchemy, as an example) was halved. This -should- have caught all class training, and perhaps some other things as well that I can't quite think of at the moment, but we'll see!

A few people have already noticed, but I've finally caught enough of a breather in an unexpectedly crazy weekend to say something officially. Due to my harder courses finally being over, my health improving, and a general drop in stress level, I have returned to my GM position.

I'll mainly be working on world development, but I do have the ability to level approved characters, fill tickets, and enforce rules. I'm still re-learning some of the commands, so any patience you can spare would be appreciated!

I just recently registered two more domain names, since I was bored and also figured they could help get more like-minded people here.

Henceforth, the domains http://www.warcraftroleplay.com and http://www.warcraftroleplayserver.com will both lead you here. Yay!

As of the last server restart earlier this morning, mounts and the first level of riding training have had their level requirement removed.
Be sure to purge your cache!

As a side note, most tabards have had their faction requirement lowered a bit.

Three times we've gotten ready to release the title system, and each time we've been stopped by over-whelming work, the exit of certain GMs, or other such frustrations. We have, I believe, one person working on a title ICly at the moment that wasn't affected by Fawee's and Kendei's departure.

I believe, in the end, that the system we have in place is too ambitious and too difficult to get off the ground. After debating with myself about it for a while, I believe we'll be removing the system as it is.

I'll probably put something in it's place, because I do believe that some characters could and should be able to be flat-out more powerful than others given enough IC work and dedication. However, any new system/idea I put forth will be significantly less formal and probably less structured and ambitious.

I'm just throwing this out there for right now. The idea was a good one, but we simply don't have the resources to put forth into making it work, and we likely never will.
