We are now fully on the new site! I am going to be redoing the help system to be more comprehensive, yet all in one place. In the meantime, this thread is here if anyone wants to discuss or ask questions about the new stuff, I'll be happy to give an answer. 
If you experience any bugs/glitches/errors please use the other thread I created to report them (in this same forum but a different thread) as I will be checking that thread more often. Please keep your postings here limited to questions/discussion about how stuff works. Thanks :) |

Yes. Some people just like collecting things even if they have no purpose (well besides the achievements for unlocking X number of runes), but the intent with them is that there are runes in place so as new unlocks/abilities get added to the site in the future, there will be runes to put them on.

They don't expire, not sure what you're talking about here. Lottery tickets expire when someone wins the lottery. Potions last for an hour when you use them, so on use I guess they "expire" after an hour, but if you don't use them they never expire. They just sit in your inventory until you decide to use or sell them. And runes never expire either. You can get "broken" runes from questing, those are just for selling for money. But real runes never become broken, they last forever. Of course you can only unlock them once, if you get more than one of the same kind you can sell them to the gold shop or give /trade/sell them to another player.

I think the only thing that says something similar to that is the attack potion, which like in its previous incarnation the strength potion, says the bonus doesn't stack with other items. That is something that is up in the air to possibly be changed though, I think it may end up being reprogrammed so it DOES stack with other items (like swords) just because it's a simpler explanation/text on the item to not have to mention that it doesn't stack. |

Each rune can only be unlocked once of course, but if you get more of the same rune you can give or sell them to other players (soon once I add the ability to mail items that is) or sell them to the gold shop for extra money. There are 26 runes you can get right now, and not all of them actually give you an ability, some of them are just for "collecting" so to speak. As new abilities/account upgrades are added to the site in the future, they can be added to existing runes, or new ones can be added.

Or by typing /players into the url bar |

Yes we do. But it's not listed in the menu yet. I was on this site for 20 minutes earlier. Then I started searching for the recent players page. Was typing everything. Then I found it. As soon as I found it (after 20 minutes) this site immediately gave me 79 gold and an achievement.

Since it was the slowest page on the site, I made it so that it's slightly delayed. You don't notice it for the vast majority of the info on that page, but gold is one thing that does get updated often so you would notice that. I may find a way to improve it without the delay in the future, but for now in the interest of the site operating as quickly as possible I gave it that delay so it would, even on a fresh browser window, load in ~1 sec instead of ~5 secs |

why is the amt. of gold different on the Top Player's page than my profile box? |

If you click Sell on an item, it will tell you how much gold you will get and ask you to confirm before it actually sells it.
Items usually cost twice what you can sell them back for, but not always. If you have the rune unlocked you can get 25% better sellback prices. Click SELL on an item to find out for sure exactly how much you would get for it. That rune only costs 2400g I think so if you're going to sell an expensive item, might be worth it to get the rune first. |

What are the resell value for Rings? I am considering selling 2 Rings and purchasing one of those new combination rings. Don't want to lose Gold or at least not too much Gold. |

FYI, every 5 quests you complete you get a random item. The probability is weighted so you get common items more often.
