    Things have been a bit slow around here because I have been very busy with school and sports lately. Spring break starts in a week for me, and I hope to do another batch of much-needed content updates then. I have created a list of updates I hope to do. Click the comments link to view what is to come.

    UPDATE: Our host is going to be upgrading all of the servers in their data center over the coming week. The server GSS is on is scheduled to be moved to a new server on Tuesday, so if you experience any downtime that is the reason. For any staff and hostees, please use ftp.goldensun-syndicate.net for the hostname for your FTP login instead of the IP address and the IP address will be changing with the move.

    UPDATE (3/17): The site has been moved to a brand spanking new server, which is so much better then the old one. Everything should still work 100% so please let me know if anything is screwed up so I can tell our host.

      Updates to come:

      TLA - Class Guide: Need to finish for Piers' and Mia's classes
      TLA - Dungeons Guide: Similar to Cities guide except for dungeons

      Forums: New color schemes for the different elements (Venus, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter)

      GS/TLA: Make a labeled map for all of Weyard. Possibly in Flash with information on each location.


      If you have anything else you would like to see added please post it and I will consider it. This list will be updated with changes.

      UPDATED 3/19

        JUST A WEEK! Mine starts in around a month!

        Don't stress yourself with all the skins, content, and the such. We'll wait... Or at least, I will...

              Rolls Eyes at Agatio... Anyways id like to see a Enemy Guide its not nessary but it could be a nice addition. Also the GS1 Walkthrough um... Maps for GS um... Maybe a Webmaster Section Um... thats all those things that i mention are not nessary but it could be a nice addition (am i repeating my self? Yes!!!) :P

              Anyways id wait for the color sceme they seems to be nice addition. Oh maybe you could add a Power Ups Guide for GS1 *goes to gss* some more quotes thats it and why isn't GSW in the list?

                  Thank you Erik for explaining that. I double posted so the list wouldn't appear on the main site and take up too much space. GSW is a seperate project from normal content updates and that is why it is not mentioned on this list.

                    Ok, I don't get the part about it appearing on the "main page" what did you mean by that? But forget about that. The updates I'm looking forward to are the skins and the interactive map.

                      By "not appearing on the main page" I meant that only the first post in a thread appears on the www.goldensun-syndicate.net mainpage and I didn't want to have the list appear there.

                        Oh, I get it now, Thanks for the info Max, I should have looked and I would have known. I can't wait for the interactive map.

                          I had some extra time today so I figured I'd get started on the mapping project. Here is a sneak preview showing the continent of Indra:

                          Indra Continent

                          Note that these maps are created using many many many screenshots and are very hard to create, and that is why I have heavily watermarked this preview image. The final Flash program will most likely not have the watermarks.

                                  I'm going to do the entire map of Weyard, I just showed Indra as an example. For those that are a bit slow, those big letters on it are called a watermark.

                                    Very nice, but you should keep some watermark on there in the final flash because people will steal what they can.

                                      Yeah, good idea Tycho, just maybe The Golden Sun syndicate in medium letters in the bottom corner with copywrite or something.

                                        You should plae the watermark within the image. Where if you invert it, edit it, etc, you will be able to see the GSS.

                                        Anyways, it is a nice idea. I await the flash map.

                                          UPDATE: Our host is going to be upgrading all of the servers in their data center over the coming week. The server GSS is on is scheduled to be moved to a new server on Tuesday, so if you experience any downtime that is the reason. For any staff and hostees, please use ftp.goldensun-syndicate.net for the hostname for your FTP login instead of the IP address and the IP address will be changing with the move.

                                          Dell Dual Xeon 2.4 GHz Servers with 2 GB of RAM are going to be great.

                                              Maybe for updates you should add a boss guide for GS1 (I could have used that before I beat the Fusion Dragon even though I had the strategy guide but it doesn't really tell you how to beat him :P ) and maybe your own GS online game like you make your own custom GS character and you travel around weyard and you can chat to people and battle other players, that wud be cool! :lol:

                                                We are already working on an online game, that's what Golden Sun World (GSW) is.

                                                      Yes, I'm afraid that it seems that any updates that happened since around 12am (midnight) today (Wednesday) have been lost. It seems that our host who generously is upgrading all of the servers in their data center did not shut everything down before moving us to the new server and therefore we lost a bit of data. However it shouldn't be that big of a deal and I hope there aren't any serious problems as a result.

                                                        Oh...so that explains it...when I first saw that someone posted something almost exactly to my reply, I freaked out, but then I saw that my post wasn't there! Ok, thanks Max for clearing that up...
