DKP Site
As there has been a final decision on what is happening with DKP I can start to rebuild the database to account for the changes.
Once these modifications are completed the DKP website will be back online, there will be a change to the bookmark to reflect the funky new hosting.

DKP final decision
After many ideas and discussion going back and forth between the officers the final decision has been made.
I would like to point out at this time that for those disgruntled players who feel like they are being left out. Any system we use will have its ups and downs, it is very difficult to come up with a system that will suit everyone individually, so the best we can do is something that fits somewhere in the middle.
The thing to remember is DKP is like a currency. We earn it for the work we do (lets call it that for a moment). So if someone does more work then someone else they are obviously going to be on a higher wage then someone whom can only work part time. We can not pay the full time worker less because the worker on part time cant earn the same hours. So if someone has DKP from Naxx and used it in Uldaur then that is up to them, they have earned those points to use in anyway they like. It is like saying to someone who saved for a trip OS that they can not spend their saved cash in another country…that is pretty ridiculous and no one would go for that sort of dictatorship.
So what we shall do is:
- Set those in the red back to 0
- Half the DKP earned in Naxx compared with that in Uldaur, we will do the same again when we start new content…
- And we will inflate the item prices in Uldaur to 20, this will be done again when we start new content.
hardly a change but I really dont care much tbh… lets lay it at rest here.
I hope this is satisfactory =) Itty

DKP
From the 1st of July, 2009, we will be changing the DKP system. We shall be changing over to Zero sum.
The reason for this change is that over is that in the last few months we have noticed that many raiders accumulate a lot of DKP and this causes inflation which in turn unbalances the system. Because we are trying to be as fair as possible to all those that raid including those with low DKP, we want to make sure that the system of DKP works for us.
We did think about capping the DKP at 100, but this would not work for those that give a lot of their time to the raids helping out when either people don't turn up or in leading. Hence the next best option was to use a different DKP.
This wont mean much for those that are not raiding yet but please take the time to read up on it so you understand what is going on.
Here are some Links to look at:
PS: Please note the DKP site is down at the moment.
Thanks Itty

Wikidot - email notifications
From the Wikidot front page:
Today we are introducing a new, highly requested feature at Wikidot: email notifications (aka watching), so that you can follow (watch) activity at Wikidot by receiving emails directly into your Inbox.
The feature is really great (we had it enabled for a few testing accounts) and allows you to be instantly notified about page edits, forum discussions, page comments etc. for pages, categories or whole sites.
Obviously email notifications solve an important problem of users not being aware of what is going on in their sites. We have seen many contributions to both public and private wikis left unnoticed by other members. Although we do provide full activity stream by RSS already, sadly RSS is still not common and easy enough to use for many people.
Introducing the "watching" feature is a very important and large task for us, but even in the pre-launch period this feature alone enormously improved our online activity at our own wikis. Hopefully this will also work for many other users.
The feature is explained in more detais in our FAQ section.
Of course if you do not wish to receive emails from Wikidot, there is a very quick way to disable them by following a special link in any of such emails.
