Hello Everyone!
I know we're not officially open as yet and the site isn't even completed, but today I've registered us with a new domain name.
Now rather than that sloppy subdomain which requires a lot of typing for lazy fingers you can all access the game site via edarinrpg.com
The site remains accessible through the subdomain for those of you who loathe change, though as I edit pages we will slowly shift fully over from the subdomain to the new domain name, so update your bookmarks!
What does this change? For you, very little. The pages will remain the same and other than typing edarinrpg.com instead of chroniclesofedarin.atspace.com (see how many less letters there are!) you likely won't even notice the shift. For the moment all pages are still hosted at our subdomain, but as I edit them for spelling and grammar as we all know I need to do, they will slowly shift over to the domain instead. As you click through the site, everything will look exactly the same. There will be no major or even particularly noticable changes.
It just looks cooler and more professional this way. Eventually I will also be adding an Edarin Shop where you'll be able to buy products from t-shirts to bumper stickers, to coffee cups, prints, and posters to help me pay for said domain--if you see fit, but that won't be until after we officially open to the public. It's just another cool thing for you to look forward to.
Additionally, it won't be long now until the History Section of our site is up and running as I've finished writing the rough draft today, so you can all expect to see that up in the next week or so. It's a bit overwhelming, but those of you nerdy enough to care about things that happened THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO might enjoy it. Rest assured for the vast majority of you very little of the history comes into play--only two characters from the history section of the site remain alive in the current Edarin and as they're royalty, it is unlikely that most of you will ever have any reason to run into them.
There will not be a quiz, except for Tommy, because he was smart alek enough to ask if there would be.
Other things that you can look forward to in the future (once I get the site completely edited and we're open to the public) will be a new Quiz Forum. We will eventually have a quiz forum where I will be hosting monthly quizzes. They will be entirely random and may or may not be related to the game. Those of you who choose to participate in said quizzes--if you answer all questions correctly--will be able to get extra ka and other prizes and may even be lucky enough to get some rare, totally awesome items. On the other hand, you might end up with some rare, totally useless items! Conversely, players may also host quizzes and other contests if they have a bit of ka to spare and want to spread the wealth.
Already in Effect or Soon to Be.
To come into effect on or around the official site opening.
I hope you're all psyched and looking forward to all the amazingly insipid things I have planned!
Until next time, that's all I've got to say.
