FAQ section outdated, subrace craft bonuses obsolete
« on: July 12, 2012, 03:48:09 PM »
Hi. I noticed that the website's FAQ page is quite outdated. I include some of the outdated information below:

Quote
Are firearms available?

We have no firearms in the module at this time but that could possibly change with an expansion to Krezk.
I am fairly sure firearms are sold in Dementlieu.

Quote
What domains from the Ravenloft setting are on the server?

The server is set entirely in Barovia. At this time, our module encompasses the area between the Village of Barovia and Vallaki, along with several areas to the north and south of these, including Castle Ravenloft, some of Lake Zarovich, the foothills and mountain areas of Mt. Baratak, and assorted farmlands and wilderness areas.  We are currently working on an expansion that will include all of Lake Zarovich along with some increased underground and interior areas.  One of our developers even has an expansion in the works involving part of Bluetspur. Long-term plans involve expansion westwards toward the city of Krezk.

Quote
How many population centers (towns and cities) which are non-hostile are there?

There are two towns: Vallaki and the Village of Barovia. There are plans to build westward to the Barovian city of Krezk in the future.

Hazlan, Har-Akir, Dementlieu and Blaustein are available. Krezk has already been built (although it was, regretfully, flooded last I checked).


Quote
Coming soon:

Half-Vistani: This is a race that is exclusive to Ravenloft. All half-Vistani must be native, as the Vistani do not exist on other worlds.

Quote
Can I make a half-Vistani?

Plans for the subrace are currently in the works. If you wish to play one for rp purposes until then, you are free to do so but if your half-Vistani comes from within the areas of the module, please read the answer to the previous question.

One can already play a half-vistani.

Also, I noticed that one of the Vistani tribes (I can't remember which) provides bonuses for craft weapon and/or craft armour, but I can't remember which. I understand these skills are unused on the server.

Interesting. Btw I am a website designer, so if the devs want someone to work on the website for free, I am willing to do so.

The FAQ section is on purpose not linked to anymore from the front page, but google still has it show up. We could use a new FAQ but the static format takes a bit too much time managing. I'd prefer if we did some forum FAQ perhaps.

If you're not planning on updating it, it might help to simply remove that page completely, since people can still access it and therefore be confused by it.

forum is pretty chaotic to be honest its only very clear after awhile, if you are new its a maze of information here and there.

I've made a new FAQ topic. I'll have the old FAQ page redirect to there.
