You should find the shard administration to be much improved; the whole website should now be easier to use, and faster.
Quite a bit of work was done to prevent fraudulent voting, and prevent the display of dated information and broken links. We expect that JoinUO will now be much more useful to players and shard administrators alike.
The short list of new features:
- More charts:
- Players Online (yeah we had this one)
- Items in World
- Mobiles in World (this is the sum of players and other creatures)
- Server memory in use
- The shard list can now be sorted by "Newest shards"
- Shards with invalid information will no longer appear in the Newest Shards list
- Newest shards list is slightly bigger
- Hard linked url for shard Era's ( for example: http://www.joinuo.com/AOS )
- Nicer urls in general. This leads to better search indexing, resulting in more traffic for JoinUO and ultimately more traffic to your shard.
- Shard Profile pages. We hope to add more information to these in the future.
- Shard owners may now list more than one shard under their account, this is not a common requirement, but helpful if the need arises.
- Shard owner accounts are now linked to forum accounts. There is an option to import your existing shard into your forum account from the shard management page.
I am hoping that the functions of the site are straight forward enough that there does not need to be any instruction here on how to do anything on the new site; however if there are any question please feel free to post them here.
Thanks for your support of JoinUO!Statistics: Posted by Derrick — Thu Dec 16, 2010 7:20 pm — Replies 13 — Views 433
