New Blog Date: Now on Tuesdays This is because it coincides with the trader bidding so it makes more sense to tell you about the trader on the day we get it rather than several days ahead.
Trader So with that in mind, we are once again back in the prime spot of Rawl'kha. Please make the most of this top spot, sell as much as you can, scan the store and so on.
Update 49
Is now here, lots of changes, notably the Dragon Knight has had a full revamp. I won't cover that here; there are plenty of YouTube videos going over the changes, and I link to one of my favourites below from Ninja Pulls. One really nice thing for guilds is the ability to display your guild name under your own name without having to wear a tabard. It is on the character screen; default press C to open. Here, you will see where to select your favourite guild.
There are lots more changes with update 49, so make sure you checkout the blogs.
Guild Points Updates
Sometimes people begin entering data into the reporting tool and then get distracted and forget to finish it. This means that other people can't enter their data because they don't know how long the sheet has been left inactive. Now you can. If you look at the sheet, you will see when it was last updated. If it's 20 minutes ago, you can be sure they forgot to finish it. I'd probably give 5 minutes as the maximum time; if they haven't finished it in 5 minutes, they probably aren't going to. So now you can just press the reset button so that it's available for you to continue adding your event. Guild Point Quick Checker
I have added a quick Guild Point checker to the website. Enter your name, and you will see your current status. This should be quicker for people with slower computers. The website can take a while to load the home page. This is because it is actually loading in a ton of spreadsheets for the data it shows on the page. I know some of you have never even scrolled to the bottom of the website, and if that's the case, you're missing some cool stuff. Take a look next time you're on the site.
Event Stats
I've done a few calculations to find out some interesting stats over the last 6 months or so and almost 8,000 events. Take a look at the graph, which shows how many events are run at different times of the day and which days of the week are the busiest. As you can see, there's never actually a time when nothing is run, although it is obviously very quiet in the small hours.
Veteran Trials
We are running a Poll on our Guild Chat channel on Discord to find out why we are failing to fill our Veteran Trials on Sunday, there is 40 hours left for you to vote and/or comment. These are the results so far
Free and New Mounts Available
Update 49 has brought the chance to claim some mounts for free, some you have to buy, here are the locations:
Discord
I recently boosted the server to see what the benefits would be. Apart from the banner and the little SRS sword next to the name, I didn't really notice much difference, certainly not worth the $27 a month it was costing me. So I have now made the decision to cancel all my subscriptions, and in April, these so-called extras will disappear. Had it been ten bucks a month, I'd have kept it, but over 300 dollars a year for something we barely notice is crazy. I think the idea is better suited to servers with thousands of members, where an occasional member will add a single low-cost boost to the server, but that's not us, too rich for my blood, I'd sooner spend that money on Crowns for prizes for you guys.
