Another Information Update...
Hey guys - it's been a while since I posted what is going on with the site developement, so here it is!
Features:
All new features are being postponed until the next major upgrade (2.2). That upgrade will hopefully be around Christmas but I won't guarantee anything. The software I use is at M-2 (milestone 2) of 4. It is pretty close to finished so it's just a matter of waiting for it to be done. I am taking the month of January off from school to work on personal projects, namely, this one. So January will be a big month for Druchii.net...
T-Shirts:
I am gungho about the shirts. I have talked to DA and we are making final arrangements to get artwork to the designers and get the shirts printed. I hope to be taking pre-orders for the shirts within 2-3 weeks. I will be working on a store-front this weekend so ordering will be a pain-free experience. PayPal is looking to be the payment option of choice so get those accounts ready! I will try and see what we can do in terms of accepting Credit Cards, but don't get your hopes up - that costs a lot of money! Look for a BIG announcement this weekend with pics!!!
Avatars and Gallery:
I know this question will come up, so here is my answer: avatars are put-off until big update (December/January) for two reasons. (1) Server bandwidth is only now becoming available to us. Joel Vogt has not given me the final go-ahead with using the full-allotment of bandwidth that we need but I expect it to be within the next 3 weeks. (2) Too much work to setup the avatars and gallery when I could be using that time to work with the NEW stuff. Just wait...
That's all folks!

T-Shirts will be global. THey are being produced in the UK and then I believe we will be doing 'shipping centers' in different regions to cut down on shipping costs... don't know yet though...
Awards? I'm not in charge of those! lol! But if it hasn't been done by January, I will certainly help them along a little...

They are awards for the various people who have done good things for druchii.net-i.e. DA and Langmann for their hard work in the revision, as well as others for other things.
(yes, I'm tired, it's late, so excuse me for being quick to say it)

Well, time WOULD be nice...
And, Storm of Chaos is here. Are you ready?

So we get to have grammy awards or something?

After seeing your short bio there, I never knew you were in Utah. You're probably the closet fellow on here to me. I'm in Oklahoma. It's later for me...

Perhaps other merchandise, such as Mouse Pads, and such?
Here's an idea for a mousepad: divide it up into a 10x6 grid of squares, and put a different druchii rune in each one, and then have a translation of each. A nice little translation chart right at your fingertips
Another Idea: A nice big picture of an executioner with his sword raised over his head, or over the head of a kneeling high elf (ok, that may be a bit too much), but executioners are some of the coolest looking infantry out there... maybe do a whole series of the Dark Elf units and have like, a "Collect them all!" thing. I realize that you'd have to worry about copyright infringement and licensing though, so that may complicate things a tid bit.
There's also the possibility of getting permission from outstanding painters and modelers (like GeOrc for one) to use pictures of their models on merchandise.
