Some confusion on the Grimlop thread about where/how to find this spawn. We could use /loc, a simple word-based explanation of how to find it, a new screenshot (a different angle), and if some is really feeling motivated a modifed map of the zone with the spawn noted on it. Any takers?

Recently have been asked why some updates don't show in these posts. Aside from the obvious "we missed it" there are two other factors at play. One is simply that the place the list (as above) is generated from is on a rather short decay timer. The decay timer does not impact the update being on the site, just the update going into one of these front-page postings.

This is more of a factor when things are automatically being updated (i.e., item collector) vs. the manual updates (which nearly all of today's update is). Reason there is when manual updates are done by a volunteer admn we tend to push out an update post. The other thing is we sometimes edit a new days or several days worth of updates into an older update post (if an update post is the most current article on the home page). This editing happens more often when multiple volunteer admn do a bunch of data entry in a close time period (so we don't end up with 5 update posts in a 2 day window for example).

The second I have no explanation for as it happened to me today in that I updated a quest, the update shows in the quest but it didn't populate into the list... there is no known (to me) way of forcing an update into the list. I've had times where I have updated 20 items and a handful of them don't populate, other times all seem to work.

New Comments

Under the home tab you'll see some good options:

"News Archive", "Contact Us", "New Comments" and "Zam tools".

-News Archive does exactly what it says.

-contact us boots you to the new Zam site

-New Comments is the one I wanted to highlight as it is a great way of keeping up with what is new on the site. It's also where most players are posting questions/asking for help (rather than the general forum that is far more likely to be seen in a timely fashion). You'll also see the massive slew of updates Gidono has done lately.

-Zam tools is kind of neat... maybe useful to guild website people or those with EQ based sites that don't want to run a full database themselves.

And a little site update:

So is it spelt Bokon or Boken?

(We've gone with Bokon, but have had to go back and change a few places that were reported the other way)

We also don't have pics of the NPCs with this title/name.

Finally, we're getting mixed reports that they are a named with loot and/or they are a named with no loot that spawns a chest. Which is it (or is it both?).
