Medievia.com - Do you DARE enter?
Some of the material on this web site is copyrighted by Medievia.com, Inc.
Welcome to the Abyss!

This site is intended as both, home page of Clan 102 in Medievia, and general Medievia related information resource.

Statement of Mission

Most of you are probably wondering why would someone spend their time making this. First of all, I like Medievia, I like coding but I hate ugly web sites. So this is an attempt to create a better one!
  • Site will always be free for anyone, without restrictions;
  • Site is maintained by group of people not one individual, so if someone chooses to leave, site will stay;
  • Site will have up-to-date information (see above).

    Vote for Medievia, best mud!

    Site news:

    2006.08.13

    * Added a link to Dirocus's chat server in the Downloads section.

    2006.05.13

    * Web site was down for 6 hours due to hardware changes. Sorry for not giving a warning in advance.

    2005.12.28

    * UPS code is complete! I will configure demo UPS soon, so you can see what it does.

    2005.08.23

    * Site was down for around 30 hours, now it is up and running! Reason for the down-time was some idiotic people who were repairing roof and accidentally (or intentionaly) cut some power and network cables while at it.
    * While I was cut off from the rest of the world, I pretty much completed user registration and forums, which I will try to put on-line today, so stay tuned!

    2005.07.14

    * Moved CSS information to a separate file to reduce page load times and bandwidth!
    * Been quite busy with site development in last few weeks, Forums are almost finished, be patient (since I want the site features to be tightly integrated, I was not able to use third party forum engine and wrote my own)!

    2005.06.28

    * Medievia has been down for several hours now. Do not panick, rumors are it's just a cut in fiber cable within Verizon's network and is being fixed now.

    2005.06.11

    * Changed how article listings are displayed, looks a bit better to me now.
    * Added NEW! indicator to articles which have been posted or modified within last 20 days.

    2005.06.19

    * Added O'Clock to Nearest Clantown feature (both web and plug-in), which displays direction from that clantown.

    2005.06.03

    * Added Nearest Clan Town feature.
    * Added 'Nearest Clan Town' feature for both MM2k and zMUD plug-ins, download them HERE!
    * Also added experimental Proxy support for plug-ins for those who are using proxy servers for internet browsing. The above download, however, does not contain these changes yet, but new version will be posted as soon as I manage to test it a bit more.
    * Improved Downloads section, You can now leave comments there.
    * More work on User Access Right and Registration system for website, which will be soon required by Forums and other new site features.

    2005.05.29

    * Finished and tested plug-in for zMUD as well - get it HERE. Also wrote a tiny script to work in War Room for zMUD, which you can get from the above location as well.
    * Articles (Zone WTs, Tips'n'Tricks etc) can be commented by users now. Express your comments and suggestions about particular item in these comments. * Comments which contain bashing and rude language will be removed, however.

    2005.05.27

    * Wrote a 'proof of concept' MM2k plug-in to access information on DarkNomads.com information without opening web browser and leaving MM2k! Download it HERE. Right now it can access riddles and catacomb locations. It does not have proxy support yet, also it will fail search if server does not respond within 15s (put this time-out in so it does not fall asleep forever if server cannot be reached). Have fun and send feedback regarding how you like this!

    2005.05.21

    * Had a massive power failure from around 6:51pm til 9:40pm my time, sorry for inconvinience. :(

    2005.05.18

    * Finished Catacomb locations section where You can share your knowledge about finding catacombs in particular zone.
    * Not using full text search for riddles anymore, alot of riddles use short common words which are ignored in full text searches. Riddle search should work much better now.

    2005.05.13

    * Finished Player submitted logs section where You can post something funny or interesting from your Medievia experience.

    2005.05.11

    * Added graphical view of site visitor statistics (just out of curiousity). Also did most of work for Medievie log submission, which I will finish and open to public tomorrow.

    2005.05.10

    * Added private messanging feature for registered users. Continuing work on user registration for forums and other sections (general information, like Autoquests, Riddles, Zone WTs and other will stay accessible to everyone without need of a registered user). Also changed "Send feedback" link to send private message on site rather than email.

    2005.05.05

    * Added Guest book. You are welcome to sign it. Also, any comments, ideas and suggestions you can send to feedback@darknomads.com.

    2005.05.03

    * Almost finished code behind Downloads section. Will gather some scripts and utilities and post them there tomorrow. Also made work-around for nasty database backend problem due to which pages failed to load time to time.

    2005.04.28

    * Riddle search finished. Added some more info, will do more tomorrow, time to sleep now.

    2005.04.27

    * Finished code behind article managament, now site editors can publish and edit articles (those Tricks and Tips, Newbie Help etc thingies) with convinient forms in their web browsers.
    * Did some work on user access right management (technical stuff which allows me to specify which users can do what on the site).

    2005.04.24

    * Domain name registered, initial layout (very ugly!) made, some coding started.
    * Working on article management system right now, which will allow to post various guides and other useful information.

    Right now the primary focus in development is on functionality rather than good looks, so don't waste your time reporting and yelling about how this site looks ugly to you. I will worry about compatibility with other browsers later, so if your Mozilla, Opera or whatever browser, you are using, fails to render this properly, just switch back to Internet Explorer 4.0+ and enjoy the ride.

    Also, ignore any typos for now, they will get fixed... sometime... later.

    Upcoming features:

  • Newbie guides
  • Advanced guides on trading, lairing and other topics
  • Discussion forums
  • Equipment database
  • Equipment auctioning (much like ebay.com is for real world)
  • Universal Point System (UPS) for clans which don't have one of their own

  • Above will be (hopefully) implemented within next month or two, stay tuned.
