The patch notes here tend to be several patches behind:

As I post this, there was at least one patch from on or before last night that was not in this list, and the home page's uptime implies there was another patch about 7 hours ago.

It would be very nice to be able to read the patch notes at work and plan accordingly.

I have heard this said multiple times, and while I agree with it. All of the changes are available in game when they are made, but only schaf can add them to the website and its not as easy to upload them from what I have seen him say.

I personally would like this as I am not actively even playing the game, but I enjoy seeing the patch notes of how the game is evolving and changing, then watching the crying/rage/whatever is appropriate on forums.

edit: THAT BEING SAID, schaf is awesome and he will get to it in due time, it just isn't at the top of the priority list at this moment in time

Well if there was another patch today, the notes didn't make it into the game, either. So it could have been just a restart.

So we're only 2 patches behind in the website notes, not 3. And to be fair, one of those was just for the PvP event being open. But it would still be nice to keep up the website.

Devs were still too lazy to add a UI to our backend for the patch notes that are shown on the website, the servernews are in the backend but that's only free text and until someone makes the UI it can only be updated directly in the database and requires a restart of the website, once the ui is there it'll use the normal auto reloading mechanism that most backend features have (ie mob, item, spell changes are instantly reflected ingame when updated).

The UI will be made soonish but until then it'll always lag behind a bit

May we request a return to posting patch notes on the forum like used to be done?
