Ulduar:

Hello again all.

As promised, the new DKP site is up and running.  It has pretty much the same functionality as the old (current) site but with a couple extra bells and whistles. 

One of those bells and whistles is a mod that is made specifically for the site to help track DKP in game and out.  Those of you that were in the Black Temple raid this past Sunday got to see it in action (sort of).  I'm sorry if the abrupt change was jarring but it seemed like an opportune time to try it out.  It has some nice features that allow you to check your DKP, items won and current standing while in game.  It also has the added benefit of easing the job of the person tracking the raid.

Here's a brief summary of the commands you can whisper the person that is tracking the raid (usually me):

• !help

  List of commands

• !dkp

  Your current DKP

• !dkp name [name2 name3...]

  the DKP for the player 'name' (and name2 and name3) (i.e. !dkp Joe Fred)

• !items

  Your item history

• !items name

  Item history for player 'name' (i.e. !items Joe)

• !bid X

  Bid X points on the current item

• !dkpclass class

  [class2 class3...] - the current standings for the 'class' (and 'class2' and 'class3') (i.e. !dkpclass mage warlock)

• !dkpraid X

  the current standings for DKP System X for current raid members (to get the list of appropriate Systems just type !dkpraid)

• !dkpall X

  the current standings for DKP System X (to get the list of appropriate Systems just type !dkpall)

• !price itemname

  the price of the item 'itemname' (parts of names work too i.e. '!price felheart' will retrieve the prices of all items with 'felheart' in the name)

• !waitlist

  Add me to the Waiting List

When it comes time to bid on an item, a message will be spammed to the raid warning channel with instructions on how to bid.  At that time, please follow the directions that come up on the screen.  Once everyone gets used to how this works it should make loot distribution much smoother.

The mod also has a built in wait list feature (see above) that I'd like people to start using.  Instead of whispering me (or whoever has the waitlist) "wl add", please use "!waitlist" instead.  This will put you on the new wait list and help us ensure that you get the credit that you deserve.  If, at any time, you leave the raid group you must put yourself back on the wait list or you will not get credit for any boss after the point you leave but only if you are going to be available to come in if we need you.

For the time being I will be updaing both DKP systems in parallel to make sure things get updated properly.  After the transition period is over (hopefully by 9/1/08) we will stop using the old DKP site and use the new one exclusively at which time we will turn on DKP Decay.  The decay rate, freqency and minimum DKP will be determined and announced before the change is made.

Please head over to http://methodical.dkpsystem.com and sign up for an account.  Each account needs approval so don't worry if you can't get in right away.

As you may or may not have noticed, I've made a few changes to the site recently.  Here's a quick run down of what's new:

DKP For items

There's a new box in the upper left hand corner that details all the items we are currently accepting to earn yourself some extra DKP.  To get this little bonus you must send the specifed quantity to me (Mallock) by the end of the raiding week which in our case means before the server resets on Tuesday.  I will credit those players that send me the requisite items with 10 bonus DKP.  You'll only be able to earn DKP from one of the items in the list so sending more than that won't earn you extra DKP.

Guild Charter

You should now see a new tab on the top menu bar that links to our guild rules and regulations.  When you have some time, please take a look at them.  The spell out how we are going to run the guild and what to expect as we progress.

Photo Galleries

In the Main Menu box on the left there is a new link to the photo galleries.  There are currently 3 galleries in wich you can post your pictures.  These galleries do not require you to upload your pictures to a seperate service which makes it much more convenient to post pictures.  New galleries can be created pretty easily so if there is something you want that you don't see, let me know and I'll see what i can do.

Applications

Members can now view applications that other players have filled out and vote (For or Against) to invite them into the guild.  You can find a link to this in the User Menu on the left.

Poll

The poll box will change every now and again.  I will try and come up with polls that will help everyone get a better idea of where we stand and where everyone thinks we should be going.  If you'd like to see something specific up there, send me a message and I'll work it in.

How-To Video

A how-to video for out current progression target will be located in the upper right hand box.  You can watch the video right on the front page of our site or if you double click the video, it will go right to YouTube and you can watch it in a larger format.

Music Player

I've added a music player on the left side of the site that currently plays music similar to the band Nightwish. I can change this to any genre or band that the guild likes.

Quick Search

In an effort to consolidate the menu's I've added a quick search box. Simply click on search engine you want to use and it will drop down with a search box. Type in what you are looking for and hit enter. A new window will pop up with your search results. I should be able to add search engines on demand so if there's one you like that isn't in the list, let me know and I'll see what I can put together.

I think that about does it for the new features.  I made a new logo since I finally found my copy of Photoshop.  I hope everyone likes it.  At some point in the near future, I hope to move our DKP site to something a little more accessible to everyone so expect some changes there as well.  If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let me or one of the other officers know and we'll try to address them as best we can.
