New Mariusnet Website

The fine folks over at Mariusnet have just redesigned their website. The redesign merges the old Mythforums website with Mariusnet as well as adding a new clean interface. I never really understood why those were 2 different sites with different logins, so merging tham makes me happy.

You can find the site at http://mariusnet.com.

Some of the new features include:

   *  Existing Accounts - You can log in immediately with your existing Mariusnet metaserver username & password. No need to register again
   * New Accounts - the web accounts here and your game server accounts are one and the same. If you register an account here, the server account is automatically created. If you change your password here, it changes on the game server.
   * Clan - All Clan management functions have been moved here. Creating, Leaving or Joining a clan has never been easier. Just start a clan and send out some Clan Invitations. Joining a clan is as simple as the click of a button on your invitation.
   * Plugins Center - Has been moved here from MythForums and it has been given some updated functionality. I expect this to receive still further updates.

I hope this will help encourage people to move from Playmyth to Mariusnet. It's a great server, and now easier than ever to setup an account.

Emonds Field Released

After Rand, Perrin's childhood friend, conquered the Stone of Tear and was declared the Dragon Reborn, Perrin heard rumours that the Children of the Light had been terrorizing the Two Rivers. They were actually trying to get Rand to return, but Perrin did it instead, bringing Loial, Faile and their Aiel friends Gaul, Bain and Chiad. After a harrowing passage through the Ways, they arrived at Emond's Field to find Perrin's family dead, and not only Whitecloaks but Trollocs in the area. While the Two Rivers folk waffled, Perrin took charge, not because he wanted to be in charge but because he knew what to do. He united the Two Rivers region and repelled both forces.

The Power of Ten Mapmaking Contest

History has taught us that, rather than being a hindrance, contests that require a specific themed limitation on their entries often benefit all sorts of creativity, inevitably resulting in a crop of excellent and fun submissions. The challenge of this contest will be to create a great map using a limited number of unit types, the maximum being, naturally, ten. The contest will begin on Thursday, February 1st, 2007, and will end on Thursday, April 12th, 2007.
