Got another five weeks to go on my ship but that hasn’t stopped my ideas for barrens chat and related projects from coming into my head when I really need to sleep :lol:
Just to keep you guys in the loop about what is coming up soon content-wise:
As for development I’ve had a few ideas for patch 1.5 which include the following (but I have some surprises too of course which I won’t mention):
I’ve paid some serious thought to the idea of having a ‘Guilds’ section (as suggested by a few people already) in which people would be able to create a guild page, advert and have their own forums etc. on the site here. I have come to the decision however that I will not be implementing this for the time being. As part of the philosophy of the site I don’t want to fall victim to feature-bloat. Coding this would not only be a huge undertaking but also take away from the core purpose of the site which is a first and foremost a discussion forum and a place for people to find useful information and resources for Classic-related stuff. I don’t want to steer the direction of development on a course that deviates too far from what I started out to achieve in the first place.
I’ll take this opportunity also to welcome all the new folks who have joined up recently. It’s great to get some positive feeback and hear new voices on the forum.
Anyone who wants to write a guide on their area of experise or just feels like writing up on something for the Guides section do step forward and Sytu and I will help you all the way.
Also it would be a massive help if you guys could spread the word about our little home here at BC - whether thats through facebook, other forums or just telling your mates and guildes to check it out :smile:
That’s it really - last of all I’m sure you will all be please to hear that the googlebot bug was indeed finally fixed and we are now on a different server! The search performance will begin to recover very soon and I am hugely relieved that this was finally resolved after 2 months of talks with my host!
Your boy teeb
What's a breadcrumb? :D

:lol: Good question! It’s like a trail of links showing where you have gone. Example:
Guides > Reputation Guides > Wintersaber Trainers Exalted
Will probably fill the empty space between sorting button and pagination buttons at top of each topic page.
Dude setting up your own pserver is such a cool idea! Will other people be able to play on it too? You might need some help when filming spells beinhg cast on ally/enemy players etc.
Also agreed about the Guilds thing... theres probably something like this already built. You’re making the right choice by focusing on your current aims for the site.
I will pass it around on some Discord servers and tell some RL friends about the site for you.

Yes although only temporarily and if might not work (have to open up ports on my router etc) - though some help would be really appreciated :)
Oooh looking forward to these teebling. Also I can help on the server if you still need volunteers!
So much cool stuff! Especially for warlocks! :biggrin:
Patch 1.5 should be finished and deployed tonight! It is a lot less than I’d planned but still some cool stuff I hope you guys enjoy.
Orc Warlock guide some time next week.
