It's been a while sense I updated the site last. I think its about time that I work on the site more often sense SOEJoe has picked up an interest in the game. I am really glad that Sony has put someone in charge of the game that really seems to care.

I have set up an anonymous FTP server for downloading arenas. This will make it easy for people who don't want to click on each link on the Arena Download page. The server address is ftp2.battleop.com. You can click Here to access it with IE.

I have also added a Hosting Option for sites. Check out the Get Hosted link to read more about it.

	July 23, 2002 12:15pm EST - They did try and market Tanarus! and other stuff

Several people have asked me what is going on with BattleOP.com. Well seeing as how SOE killed the Bop program there isn't much to post and I just have not had the time to do much with the web site because I have been busy with lots of projects at work. I have had a few people ask about the future of BattleOP.com. I plan on keeping BattleOP.com up and running as a Tanarus related site as opposed to a BattleOp related site. I have started work on another site called BattleOP.org. This site is basically a private site where the former Bops and friends gather to play other games and keep up with each other. The other day my wife was looking through an old magazine trying to figure out why I had a copy of Computer & Net player from 1997. As she flipped through it she found a two page ad for Tanarus. I had completely forgotten that I had that magazine. Well I have scanned the adds and posted them here. You can click on the images to see the full size. I have also added the wall paper that is on the different Battleop.com servers in the downloads section of the site. BoBaFett

	April 22, 2002 8:25pm EST -Security ALERT!

Revised

We have learned that the account stealing is from with in The EverQuest live Tech support. I have informed several key employees at SOE about this problem. We will just have to wait and see if the problem is corrected.

Several people have reported that their Station Accounts have been stolen. We have discovered that there is a security flaw in Hotmail accounts. The people stealing the accounts are triggering the password recovery and players who use Hotmail for their e-mail accounts are at HIGH risk of losing their accounts. Here are a few things to do to prevent this.

Do NOT use a Hotmail account for your Station Account

Change your password immediately

Change your zipcode to one that you will remember.

We know that many people will exploit this to steal other players accounts by claiming that their account was stolen this way. We will be unable to verify this. Because of this we will be unable to return accounts stolen this way. If you use Hotmail, we urge you to immediately change your e-mail address at least for your Station Account.

	March 21 , 2002 1:25pm EST - Promotion, New Bop, and a new fearless leader.

Well lots of things are going on in Tanarus right now.

First of all Lacosta has been promoted to Senior Bop. Cure has joined the ranks of the Bop program and Rob aka Qombat is the new Sony Staff member handlingTanarus. Friar is still around, though most of his new duties prevent him from spending the time he would like to spend on Tanarus. Lets welcome Qombat and Cure and congratulate Lacosta on their new positions.

There are rumors floating around that this is the beginning of the end of Tanarus. This is not true, its just another chapter in the History of Tanarus.

	January 24, 2002 7:25pm EST - Tanarus Fix

Here is a copy of my tanarus.exe file. This should fix any problems you have playing Tanarus. I have tested this file on Windows 98se, Windows Me, and XP Pro . There should be no problems running it under Windows 95, 98 First Edition, or 2000 Pro. Click HERE to grab the File.

Once you download the file place it in your Tanarus directory. If you do not know where your Tanarus directory is, just right click on your Tanarus ICON and then chose Properties. Once the Properties window pops up click on Find target and it will take you directly to your Tanarus directory. Place the file there and answer "yes" when you are asked if you wish to replace the file.

	January 14, 2002 11:10pm EST - Friar talks about the Rotation.

Friar made a post this afternoon about the upcoming rotation and why it didn't happen today. You can see the post on the Tanarus web site's message boards by clicking here.

"I caught some bug and spent the day sleeping so I wasn't able to do anything with the rotation today. We're still fighting over the selection anyway. We'll get some kind of consensus tomorrow and I think I should be able to get things moving on Wednesday."
