World of Raids Maintenance Notice

I wanted to give everyone a heads up that at 10PM PST tonight we will be taking the forums offline to migrate to new forum software.  This is a major backend change, so the current forums will be set to read-only during the downtime.  The ETA for the forums becoming available again for posts is currently unknown, but it could last up to a day.

It's possible Guild Recruitment may need to remain offline for a bit while we make optimizations to it due to how tightly integrated it is with the vBulletin login system, but we'll work on getting it back up as soon as possible.

(Update by Alexia at 8PM PST) New user registrations will be turned off at 8PM PST/10PM CST in anticipation of the switch over.If you did not validate your email address on a newly registered account before the software migration you will need to either log in with your Curse credentials or register a new Curse account.

When the site comes back up you can look forward to the following:

  • Faster load times: Invision Power scales much better with larger communities than vBulletin does.
  • Curse ID integration: You'll now be able to log in with your Curse.com login information, allowing you to log in (and remain logged in) to all of our websites that support it with a single username and password.
    • If your email address on your Curse account matches your World of Raids account, it will automatically hook the two together and log you in.  If not, you'll need to set up a Curse.com account with a matching email address.
  • Reputation system: You'll be able to give members positive or negative reputation for threads they create.  I'm considering doing more with this system in the future, but need to analyze how it can be exploited.  For now I'm considering special titles at certain levels, avatars, etc.
  • Guide section: Improvements here as well.  There are now main pages for each category that list all of the guides for that category.  There are some issues with the display of certain guides which I'll be working on getting fixed.

I will be creating a bug report thread in the feedback section once we're done migrating the site over to Invision Power.  It's important to note that the layout of the website will not be changing for the most part.

Coming Soon

The 3.3, Cataclysm and the Guild Recruitment sections will be back up very soon.  Along with those sections we'll be reinstating the image gallery.  Beyond that there are a few cool new features in the works, as well as further improvements to Guild Recruitment.
