📌 Site Updates & Changelog

Welcome! This topic tracks the development of the OGWOW website. Every new feature and improvement lands here - check back often, or watch the #site-updates channel on our Discord for instant updates.

⭐ Latest
2026-09-22 - The site says goodbye to vanilla. Every leftover mention of the old vanilla chapter has been removed from the site - it now lives only in the news, where it belongs. All news posts were reworked with emoji headings and clean paragraphs, and old topics from the previous server were moved to the Trash section.
2026-08-09 - Forum updates. Edited posts now show an "Edited" badge, moderators can hide off-topic or rule-breaking replies (a "Message hidden" notice shows the reason), and the Forum Rules have been reworked with numbered sub-points.

What's live on the site

🌐 The website
A fast, mobile-friendly hub with the dark leather & gold look. Live server status badge on the homepage, one-click realmlist copy, client download and the Discord invite are always within reach.
📰 News
Official announcements with unique view counters - one view per visitor session, so the numbers stay honest.
💬 Forum
Sections for rules, support, general chat, PvP, guilds and off-topic - everything in one place. Topics, replies, quotes, BBCode, reactions, pinned & locked topics, unique topic views, a mobile card layout on phones, an Edited badge, and a moderator Hide option for off-topic or rule-breaking replies.
