We have a bunch of new features going in today. First off, we are installing three brand new Apple Xserve servers, bringing our total processing power to 10 servers. You should notice a significant increase in our site speed as these come on line. Second, we have added quite a few new searches and other features to the site, most of which are for our premium members. This is a good chance to check out our premium service. We are going to leave these new features open to everyone for a week or so so you can see how they work. We wish we could leave everything free, but this is a very expensive site to maintain, and ads still don't cover anything close to our costs. Thus, we rely upon the small fee paid by our members to keep all of this going for everyone. So what's it cost for a membership?

$9.99 for 3 months ($3.33 a month)

$17.99 for 6 months (less than $3.00 a month)

$29.99 for 12 months (less than $2.50 a month)

Cheap! And here's what you get for that.

NEW The Advanced Item Search

NEW The Advanced Quest Search

NEW The Advanced Bestiary Search

NEW The Skill Chain Database. (Skill lists will be available to everyone, but the skill chains are premium only).

NEW Advanced Forum and Comment Search. Now you can search through every forum post and/or comment on the site for specific information. This gives you access to over one million posts of gaming information

Your Own Personal Forum. Keep it private, or open it up to the public. Password protect it and use it for your link shell. How many sites give you a full forum for this small price?

Extra Posting Features. Premium members can add an avatar to their post, choose a title, and use smilies. We also provide space for you to upload images to use for an avatar not only here, but anywhere you post.

Extra Profile Tools. You can add images to your profile to personalize it and also can keep track of your quests and titles. Also, you get a maximum of 24 profiles instead of 6.

No more ads. Premium members do not get any banner or popup ads.

Exclusive discounts at EBGames.com. Only Allakhazam.com can offer you a 10% discount off all MMORPG's at EBgames.com. We also offer 20% off pre-owned games and 25% off all strategy guides. Buy $100 worth of games and your membership pays for itself.

Your personal @allakhazam.com e-mail address. A cool way to talk to your gaming friends.

We think that's a pretty nice list considering you get all of this for less each month than the price of a cup of fancy coffee. If you use the site a lot, this is really something you should consider. And consider that this covers all of our sites, so if you play now or plan on playing Everquest, Dark Age of Camelot, EQOA, Star Wars Galaxies, Planetside, World of Warcraft, Lineage 2 or Everquest 2, your membership will already cover you for those games. Please use this link to sign up today. (If you have any problems with the new features we added or suggestions for changes or additions, please post on this thread, or e-mail danalog@allakhazam.com about them. Thanks)
