WarhammerAlliance.com Releases New Official Forum Development Tracker!

DoranM — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:46:47 GMT

WarhammerAlliance.com has recently completed their new Development Post Tracker for the Official War Forums. This tracker will track all posts made by developers and VIP's on the official forums and put them into a clean, navigable, easy to use list for rapid viewing.

This is by far the most effective way to get a lot of developer updates in a short amount of time. There are a few other features as well, for example, this post "Why are only some servers available for character transfers?". You're able to read the original post by the original author, and then subsequent posts by WAR Devs who write back to the post. You're also able to search for all posts by you're favorite Dev, like if you click on James_EAMythic you're able to see all the posts he's made, and replies to any posts, and when they were made.

We strongly recommend book marking this feature from WarhammerAlliance.com and checking back often for more updates. Still not convinced how tubular this feature is? Here's a snapshot of the last 4 dev posts by James from earlier today and what you're missing out on!
