CHANGE LOG
September 2022
Rewriting the code to handle character saves and loads as the original caused display issues with optional skills/talents which had not been selected at the point of being saved. The saving code was in any case too involved.
Typo in a surname corrected.
The statistics have been updated to be logged to a database rather than a flat file to make pulling anything out easier and answer the question is the site still being used! They are now generated on a daily basis.
February 2022
Removed Apprentice Wizard as a career exit for Halflings or Dwarves.
January 2022
After "feedback" from bounty site I was informed of an issue with the coding on the generated and went back to remove PHP calls to $_SERVER variables.
August 2016
I'm starting to consider how to display stats, at the moment there is just this which is not updated in realtime.

February 2015
Fixed potential issue with the save/load functions; please let me know if you have trouble accessing a character. Whilst doing this I trimmed out invalid files where people did not enter enough information for them to be retrieved (need to change the code to stop this happening). Even after that there are some 12meg of saves and over 2,500 files! That's 800 in 1.5 years which amazes me. Long live 2nd Ed eh?
January 2015
Another server death and another move. Hopefully this will/did not affect anyone apart from the downtime.
June 2013
Bit boring but I have been going over the code to try and tidy it up and stop all the annoying notices appearing in the php log.
Whilst doing this I also noticed there are over 4meg of saved characters on the server, that's over 1,700 files people have saved. I assume a fair proportion of those are real characters people have made or used, so that makes it all seem a bit more worthwhile!
