Pet UpdatesMajor Announcement  ALL mobs should be in the database now, AND working correctly. Have fixed a few bugged links and whatnot around the site as well. Added all the new Battlegrounds to the FRONTIERS page, if you want to add BG mobs, go to the Frontiers section. Also, finally implementing a backup system for the database, cuz I'm silly. So now, even if I do mess up, it'll be back up in a matter of minutes. Should be adding a few fluffy things and refining the layout of the dynamic guides. Will work in the db-based pet lists into the main realm pages, and making the mob entry system smoother. 6/25/04

Pet Updates  In the Database: Have added all Albion mobs, added half of Hibernia, need to do Midgard, and Atlantis. Added all Holding Tank mobs to the database. 6/14/04

Major Announcement  Well, the site is fully over to Charm.enygma.net now :). All the images and pages should show up, had a busy week and didn't get to play with the site. I should be able to get all current guides workin', and have the holding tank emptied out - soon. Which may mean two weeks depending on the next few days for me. The main project I have at the moment is being more troublesome than I'd like . 6/14/04

Quick Update   Welcome to Grimmflute- Minstrel Researcher and Anindarm- Sorcerer Researcher!
You'll be able to see their work on the site soon, you can already see it on the message board- *Pet Speak* (for now)
Database is working again, just haven't finished refilling it. Restyling the forum some, wish I had the time to just play. Old site will redirect to new domain so no one gets lost (along with the few other ways people get to it). 6/1/04

Quick Update   Database temporarily down -old guides still work! :). Redoing a few things, and subdomaining this site: Charm.enygma.net. Should be back up in 2 or less hours. 5/17/04

Quick Update   Sometimes Arachnia is silly and dumb and gets herself killed. Likewise, sometimes I put the wrong operator in a SQL statement to get rid of some junk rows... and accidently delete ALL the good ones! :( Re-entering. This time, I'll do updates once a week or once every time I plan to DO THINGS. :( 5/13/04

Quick Update   Currently inputting the current guide's information into what will be the database that the guides will work off, then I'll get to adding/editing them from information in the holding tank. The Mob search on the Pet Guide page now works off the real database too. When I'm done, I'll put the mob search on this main page I think.   5/3/04

Major Announcement  Woohoo! :) I got my database working with mob submissions! Now when you add a mob, it goes into a database. In the near future I will have the guides working off the database. You'll be able to pick between a 'pre-made' guide (a static file that I've saved from the database listing), an 'up to the minute' generic guide, or, hopefully, fully customized guides. Also with PHP, I can create pages/sets of pages that are easily edited through a webpage, to anyone who I give a user/password to. So, if any of you wanted to say, take over the Mentalist Guide, or the Sorcerer Guide- I'd love to make that happen. I just do not have the time anymore to really make the guides myself, but I don't want to leave the site dead, and I don't have to with PHP and volunteers :) Anyone who works on the site will be a "who's x" type page... still need to make one for myself. And probably some Moderator permissions on the message board... I really need to restyle that. I'll soon have a "view recently submitted", so you can see if what you're about to add already has been, and a way to "suggest an edit" to an existing mob's information. Right now- I have NO emails left unadded.
Anyway- rambling! Contact me if you're interested!   5/1/04

Quick Update  Hey! Been quiet lately- Arachnia got 50 though! :) Also- I'm learning PHP. Soon, I will have a form for anyone (possibly might make people register as users, dunno) to just type in a submission, it'll get put into a "Holding Tank" database, then after I review it, will be added to the 'live' database. All the guides will be served up out of the database, and you can then create CUSTOM guides on-the-fly as they say. So, a guide with just Animals/Insects, or just levels 40-45, etc. This will both make it A TON easier on me, and a TON more useful! :) I have three concurrent projects though, so it might be implemented in stages. The first part will be filling a database with mobs already on the guides! <groan> Just figured I'd let everyone know :)   4/30/04

Quick Update  Updated with about 20 new mobs, mostly Atlantis- about a week ago- was too busy to update on here; also put the Charm spell info and "Spec to 50" info on the Sorcerer Class Guide :) Already have more to add to the guides, but probably won't get time for 2 weeks to update. I have a post on the message boards if anybody would like to help out by taking over a guide or two, or some other things (post under Announcements)   4/19/04

Major Announcement  Hello all, and welcome to the new site layout. The old one had been bugging me for quite some time, and so I spent a night and redid much of it. I'll have the guide updates most likely on Friday, the old layout was just screaming for a change ;)   3/18/04

Major Announcement  Ok- Wiping and Redoing the message board (it got messed up), but I do have all the data backed up. When its up and running, we will have lots of new fun stuff to play with :) !Ack, got the site a little messed up in the process! Its about 1:30 am right now, I'll get up my new site design in the morning, sorry for the temporary inconvenience, hopefully I can do the updates to the guide tomorrow as well.   3/17/04

Quick Update  Well, I think I can finally start updating again now. I'll be done with my paid project in a few days. I've got around 20 different emails in my Sorc Guide folder, sorry I've only got time to put this little update up.   2/28/04

News  The little cabin I live(d) in caught fire. The propane tank was being filled, the gauge stuck, spouted flames, and caught the roof, which quickly caught the rest of the house. We lost the power adapter for the laptop which I use for all the webpage stuff, so, no updates for a few weeks at the earliest. I'm doing ok other than losing stuff, but too busy rearranging my life.   01/14/04

Pet Updates Atlantis updates mostly, did some personal research   01/10/04

Pet Updates Updates to the Atlantis guide, and the Atlantis page/guide structure, smaller updates to Albion/Hibernia/Frontiers   01/09/04     11/10/03: Updates to most guides, got access to Illia's Bestiary listings and will be updating Mid and Hib alot as I get time. Doing more updates to make everything a little nicer, and trying to recruit Ments to the site as well.

    11/4/03: Added avatars to the Message Board (you can link off-site as well, 90x90 max size), working on some alterations to the guide formats where there will be icons for healing pets, nuking, and styling pets (and more). Creating the ToA guide soon, no submissions yet. If anyone really wants the Word (.doc) formats of the guide back, please email me. I no longer have MS Office, and can only make .rtf files.

    10/27/03: Major changes around the site (bear with me), and I'll be updating the latest submissions this week.

    10/10/03: On the advice of a fellow Sorc, Toxon (Guinevere), I'm adding a message board forum. Mostly, I just want to keep discussion on pets, and all the big "blah blah is uber and this is how you mez" discussions can stay on the other boards (like IGN and Amina's). You don't need to sign up to use the forum, but if you sign up you can use avatars (remote) and local when I upload a few. Added a couple more Inhisail creatures with Toxon's help :)

    10/9/03: Been playing on Inhasail Island :) And adding the zone to SI, and putting up the mobs I found and they are highlighted yellow for now in the guide so that they're easy to spot. Feel free to submit more or more info for each :)

    5/8/03: Pretty big updates to ALL THREE realms. Though no one's gotten over 10 for Hibernia or Midgard yet! I'll still make a "Who's X" page for you :) Also- someone submitted this, on or around April 1st ;)
moblvl: 50
mobname: Muguck
mobtype: animal
mobzone1: w svea
mobzone2: e svea
mobzone3: xx
dungeons: xx
attrb: tough proc huge
details: 
Fat, Butcher like creatures.
Proc a spell called "chuku chuku". It makes you run away 250f then sit down and log out.
When you relog, you are surrounded by half a dozen Mugucks staring 
at you and talking in a weird language.

Then one of them will step forward and cast a spell on you which 
says "Muguck Muggl atempts to charm you". After some tries, he will 
succeed and you will auto stick him.

The Muglucks then all together go to Darkness Falls where they hunt 
rocots (probably for money) using you as a pet.
Occasionally they will talk about how slow you are casting and how 
weak your spells are. After a while they decide to check what good 
you are as a tanking pet...group of Muglucks will wipe to some rocots half a minute later.

    3/29/03: Relatively large update to Albion- saving what I have of Hibernia to do a larger update :) If anyone wants to earn a special page about themselves on the site, SUBMIT HIBERNIA!!! I'll make you a little "Who's this person" page on the Hibernia main page (similar to "Who's Arachnia"). Or I'll bake you a cake! It might not make it to your mailing address... so I'll just eat it for ya? ;) Special reward for anyone who submits 10+ mobs for Hibernia, or say, 15+ for Midgard!

    3/19/03: Sorry it took so long (personal stuff). Big Midgard update, 3 in Albion. Working on the different use guides (like RvR, by Zone, and Solo)

    2/27/03: Some updates to the Alb guide a few days ago, updating the Mid guide alot, one addition to Hib. Had some RL issues for a couple days. Added Contributor List (see Other Resources on the left).

    2/17/03: Update to the site, charming 101 and other various little things. Mob update coming soon, just waiting for about 5 more submissions, or until Wednesday.

    2/12/03: Added more to Albion (barrows/SI), and a couple to Hibernia (classic)

    2/4/03: Added more mobs to all the guides. Thanks everyone! :)

    1/30/03: Reworked the "Condensed" guide, it is now all the "good" pets from the old one, and it's adding in all the good ones that people are sending in or that I find myself. Note: SI pets are not in the plain Albion guide. If there's a great pet (or just pretty useful one) that's not on the list, send it in! :) I don't want to relevel another sorc to find em all <sigh>. Working on HTML guides again.

    1/28/03: Altered webpage itself. Added to Midgard and Albion Guides. Working on redoing the old one to be 'essential' again (silly file copying error on my part, the condensed one got overwritten by the old guide, not a real loss ;))
