Hello, The Mayor of Yaraq (Wintersebb) here.
I am trying to get in contact with Maggie The Jackcat,
creator and long time host of thejackcat.com/ac. We all
loved the site, especially the veteran players, such as
myself.
As many are aware, the site, along with ACMaps, has
seemingly vanished overnight (been a couple weeks now?).
I am hoping that is simply a matter of no longer having
a vested interest in the game, and no longer wishing to
host the content.
I would like to step foward and offer to host the content
of both sites, if anyone knows how to contact her, or better
yet, if you are her, please respond here.
- Becca

whois.net lists the owners of domain names and contact info.
It may be out of date but it's a good place to start.

Thank you. However, I had already tried that, the email address listed is no
longer in use, came back as "permanent failure", which is why I turned here.

I've traded messages with Maggie. It appears she moved her other web sites (not AC related), which resulted in ACMAPS and thejackcat.com going off line. She says she still has all the info.
If we can get a few backers, I don't know what the two sites cost to maintain, I would guess on the order of $100/month, likely less. More on that idea when I hear back from her.

It is very inexpensive to host a website these days. My davidsfunnyfarm cost $6, plus an extra $12 for extra GB of bandwidth (there were 5-20 mb comedy clips) and even then that can be high. My sql-odbc site is through godaddy and costs less than $10 per month, with an extra $3 per month for a search site package.

Questions:
1) Why is AC going to die after Feb patch(?) - Or Just being a dick?
2) The Jackcat hasn't been updated in 3+.... years or so, doesn't seem worth the effort to update when Wiki has everything to date. Unless there is risk of losing the old site - Was always my favorite site....
PS - SOS on Thistledown or worth a try back?

AC will be fine after the February patch. Some people are overreacting to Turbine making things better for melee characters in the February patch. They're also giving everyone a good racial and giving more options in how you can spend your skill points.

Maggie is the host for ACMaps which a lot of plugins use for the map radar or for other reasons(GoArrow for example). Maggie took over ACMaps from the original person that started that page with an agreement that she wouldn't sell the site off or some other mumbo jumbo to keep the site free for all so long as it linked back to acmaps website.
Other then that yeah, the jackcat site hasn't been updated in forever. But she was the one in charge of ACMaps.

I agree with ya Life.
I think all the people who have quit or are threatening to quit because of these "proposed changes" owe it to themselves and to Turbine to say what and more importantly why they do not like specific a proposed change. Turbine is being very open with the community and asking for feedback prior to the february patch.
I will refrain from judging the current proposed updates until I get a chance to actually test out the changes in game myself.
But I will say this: Turbine has done a fabulous job with the past few years of patches & updates in my opinion. Some changes and additions to the game I really have enjoyed:
~ Sets, Epics, New Loot Tier, Lvl 8 Spells.
~ Societies, Armors, Tasks, two Castles including black markets.
~ New Out Door Hunting Areas (Freebooter, Moar Island, Gear Knights, Frozen Valley, City of Neftet,
~ New Alt Currencies, New Items to purchase
~ 3 New Skills (Void, Twohand Combat, & Gearcraft)
~ Aetheria
~ New Races, New monsters
~ Updated High Tier Rares
~ Rare Exchanger
~ New Armor Types Over Robes, Knorr, Haebrean, Olthoi Alduressa, Olthoi Celdon,Olthoi Amuli, Olthoi Koujia, etc etc.
~ Trinkets
~ Updated Casinos
~ Tailoring
~ Cloaks

I haven't been around in forever, but some of the stories, and the lore of Maggie's site have been a constant source of nostaliga for me over the years.
If she really needs someone to take over hosting it, I can probably just host a mirror/archive of it for her or some such just for old times sake.

Yeah, it's been a long time since I've wandered the island of Dereth. I keep toying with coming about, last time I tried I just couldn't get used to the interface again.
Glad to see there are some faces still about from the old Asheron's Fury days.
Who else is still around after all this time?

I was under Videian when I first started playing in 2000, but broke at some point after a disagreement about the xp chain. Although, Blackmancer may have been running the Fury at that time.
A good number of old players are coming back. I have seen an overall increase in quest participation.

true maggie's has not been updated in a while buts there info there that I liked referring too that I cannot seem to find on wikki either because they feel its outdated and no need for it or they just have not gotten around to posting it or they consider it not worth while taking up space not sure the reason but maggies has ALWAYS been like th AC BIBLE to me and I really feel lost without it.

To me the games starting to look like it fell off a cliff, and a team of professional rednecks duct taped the mess back together. As for The Jackcat and ACmaps (and certainly other websites as well), The authors of the sites should at least notity their regular patrons of upcoming changes with their content. Rather than let the site you worked hard to create just die in obscurity and leave the visitors clueless as to what the hell happened, at least make reasonable effort to let people know what has just occured. Otherwise it's just wasted effort and visitors are just SOL. It surely deserves a place in the internet archive.

I'll check back in with her. "back in the day", Danier stayed in. Touch with Ned as did I, and we were always happy to have Maggie along for a quest. (grin) we'd even run something for her to take "photos" for the site.
I tried connecting her with one potential hosting volunteer (the price was quite good), but the decision is hers to repost / repost.
She does have the data.

I hope that she doesn't let it die completely. I haven't played the game in years but I still hit the server now and then going over the old stuff.
