Backend Website Changes and Improved Registration

[Kip]

Hello everyone.

You might have noticed that the website was down for maintenance for about an hour last night.  This was done so we could implement a fairly large change to the backend of how your characters are all stored and glued together.  If we did our job well, you will not notice any visible changes but this lays the groundwork for doing some interesting things in the future.

Undoubtedly, there will be a few bugs that slipped past our testing so please bear with us as we work through them.  If you spot anything broken, please report it in the website section of our help board: [Link].

Along with the backend changes, the account creation process has been updated including a guided tour of the character page after you register.

The process is now...
- Join an NI server and receive an activation code in chat.
- Go to the website and enter the activation code, the name of the character you want to create (this does not need to match the character you first joined with), and a password.
- Follow a brief guided tour around the character page.
- Back in Warband, edit the character name if you chose a different one on the website and you are all set to play.

If you want to try out the tour, you can trigger it by going to https://nordinvasion.com/character.php?tour.  Again, if you spot any mistakes or have some suggestions, let us know.  I intend to eventually create tours for all the pages - particularly ones which are a bit more complicated.

The tutorial tour is a good idea. I hope the current changes will eventually lead to features like instant access to all EQ for any char regardless in what char's inventory the item is and more. Thanks for the job done and looking forward to see more coming.
