Okay, new update:
you each are allocated a private/personal forum to keep track of your characters level, and choose what skills you want to invest in. Its not complete right now (it doesnt list skills) but it will be up shortly. you can also ask me questions in an easier format than PM.
those of you who are in a faction will have notice there is a secure forum for that faction: it allows you to post descretely and discuss things openly with your countrymen.
