and mouse over item names would be super uber

You'll get mouse over item names if you use M$ Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. But I just love the Firefox tabs sooooo much, it's not worth loading msie.
 
When we get a capable web coder, we hope to include stuff like AJAX-driven mouseover item stats instead of opening a new window/tab and a lot of other things. Stay tuned. :0
 
Ive wanted the AC to be there for a while. :) Resists as well, but to a lesser extent. I certainly look forward to this.

AJAX-driven mouseover? wth... /me hits google!

Can you tell me more about this?

edit:
If i understand the basic's of AJAX correctly, you want a mouseover that:

1. Contacts the server when the mouse hits (without the page actually reloading)
2. Grabs all the relevant data for that item from the server
3. Displays it in a nice layer that hovers over the item (more or less)

Why dont you just grab all the relevant item data while the page is loading anyway (i doubt it will take much more processing time) and put them into predefined layers, which you make visible upon mouseover :)

I've seen Microsoft Internet Explorer with tabs.

Yeah, in retrospect that was a pretty BLOG THE WEB 2.0 RUBY ON RAILS linux thing to say. Put real simply, AJAX is a way to make truly dynamic website. Normally in say, PHP, a "dynamic" website is just one where information is presented by a script, but it's only dynamic in that one file can display a lot of different information. It still has to actually be reloaded to display new information, however. This is not the case with AJAX, which means it's possible to make real web applications of sorts.

God, I sound like a marketing exec for some technology. Just read the damn Wikipedia link. :(

This is probably something you're including already but will all this include augments?
 
We'll include as much as we can. That said, it requires a web coder with the proper skills, so if you know one, send him my way. :)

well, i am pretty skilled already. i guess i woulndnt mind picking up some skills on AJAX to :)
 
There's considerably more to it than just the Wanelo changes, but talk to me on IRC if you're interested.
 
Woo neet, I've always been more of a PHP/backend scripts and database guy. I have never really looked into DHTML.

After saying that, I'm learning javascript/XML now so I can play with AJAX. As far as getting XML data from the game server - how difficult is this? Database query?

Oh ok this is what AJAX is about...thought you wanted an extra clean cursor that wipes all the dirt accumulated by characters wearing all this gear without ever taking a shower.

...OK bad one sorry DON'T BAN ME PLZ !!!
