October, 2003           Few more areas added to the site:  Ant Hill and Nalle's Dark Castle.
			Did updates to:  Rainforest, Newbie Mountain.
September, 2003         I've done several updates a month over the last year, more frequently in the last 
		        few months.  Working through player updates -- please send more, as I'm about caught
			up on player submissions and don't have time to do much game research myself now.
	
			Added Horn Durath, Rainbow Cloak, and Snootling area infos.
Spring 2003             Removed alloy tables for personal reasons.
July, 2002              Updated a huge number of areas.  Added about a half-dozen areas to the site.
                        Restructured the materials section and added alloy lists for several types.
August, 2001            Added area info for Village of Shrea and Alchemist's House.
	                Color-coded areas on the navigation bar based on difficulty.
            	   	Colors refer to the minimum level for which the area is 
            		safe -- for example, Digga's is a newbie area yet has some midbie and
           		up monsies.  Since it has some good stuff for newbies, though, it is coded
            		as a green area.  If I goofed on any of these, point it out to me
            		so that I can correct the error.            
April 22, 2001          I put up some personal photos under the webmaster link.  The old
                        photo I had up there before was from 7 years ago (the wedding photo).
April 19, 2001          New Bat outerworld maps went up.  Amarth this week converted the
                        southwestern quarter of the world into Kevin Costner's Waterworld.
                        (Despite the resemblence to a terrible movie, most of us seem to like 
                        the new topography!).  Harambikkel did a great job with creating
                        the new maps.  Thank him and shower him with mowgles if you agree.
April 1, 2001           Ok, so I didn't stay on the job long.  Actually, I did a lot of
                        updates in the last year but didn't make note of them here. 
                        Most updates were to areas, not to the eq/weapons.
May 10, 2000            Dryad's back on the job, renovating the site. 
                        More than 100 updates received during my time off, so I'll have 
                        a lot of new material on the site soon.  Please continue to 
                        contribute.
