Hi All!
Quick note that I'll be doing some pretty big updates to the site this weekend for a security patch, performance and early prep for the site migration.
Site might go down for a few hours!

Just putting this up where it'll stick around for a little while longer.
Allikat and I have set up shop on the Greybriar server (PvE) on Rift. It's free-to-play, and honestly it's got one of the best set-ups for free-to-play I've seen as far as not forcing you to actually BUY anything.
Come hang out and kill some shit with us. Find me as Shihli, Guardian, on Greybriar.

The site migration is kicking ass
garreth — Sun, 02/03/2013 - 16:37
I've locked myself at home all weekend to put some serious time into moving our site to its new format. Here's some code:
https://github.com/illepic/Downfall-Migration/commits/master
Everything is migrating over to the new format just fine except raid groups and Images. Those are the last, big things.
Anything we particularly need on the new site? Video will be in by default, as well as better image handling. I'm also working on supplying "toons-per-site-account" system.
Anyhoo, just thought you all would like to see that there is real progress on this.
Edit: Also, the MMO-Champion feed is working in the bottom-right of the site again (after a year and half of not working).
How to add a Blizzard Authenticator to your B-Net account
Dragon — Mon, 12/03/2012 - 22:39
With the recent announcement that all Balla guild ranks will require you to have access to the website, being a raider and have an authenticator on your account. As such this guide is here to help less technically proficient or adept people with adding an authenticator to their account.
Step 1: Go to the Blizzard website for your country. The URL in the link leads to the US version, but it should automatically change to the correct version for you when you head there.
Step 2: On the top right corner of the page there is an option to log into your account.
Step 3: Once you're logged in, click on the Account option right next to it.
Step 4: On your Account page, under your account details should be an option that lists Account Security. The first one is for your authenticator.
Step 5: If you're using an Apple or Android based smart phone, you can use the Blizzard Mobile authenticator. This option allows you to download a FREE app to your phone to add an authenticator to your account through their app service.
Step 6: Otherwise, you can buy a normal authenticator off the Blizzard store For $6.50 USD
Step 7: No matter which option you choose, you can now follow the steps that come with the authenticator in order to finish adding one to your account.
Please note, that you can selection an option that either requires you to add an authenticator code every time you log into the game or just every few weeks as long as its from the same computer. You will also need your authenticator to log into the Blizzard website from now on, especially if you need to change your account info.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please check out the Blizzard Mobile Authenticator FAQ, the Blizzard Authenticator FAQ, or leave your question here in the comments for guildies to try to answer.
Downfall Thongs in the Cafe Press store?

New Shit On Site
garreth — Sat, 02/06/2010 - 01:39
Most of you have probably noticed the "Buy A Fucking T-Shirt!" block in the upper right hand corner of the site. This is an often requested feature and I've never really had something to point people to until now: http://www.cafepress.com/downfall All proceeds from the sales of shirts (and, soon, other schwag) will go to pay for the site hosting fees as well as Ventrilo and any other technical stuff.
Something you may NOT have noticed is that the site is now serving Google Adsense ads. Log out and check out a strat page (like: /Toravon) and you'll see (sort of) relevant ads being displayed to the dozens of thousands of visitors we get every week. Log back in and you'll never have to deal with them!
Next up: The Downfall Video Section (no, really!). Coming soon.™
Edit: new dark df logo for the shirt:
Site's Back!

We Said We'd Be BackAaaaaaand we're back. We've moved to a new host and hopefully our massive lag is a thing of the past. I'd like to thank our new host, WebFaction! Let me know what you guys think.
Edit: There is currently an error when adding new content to the site. Please test this for me by adding a Blog or Forum post and look for the huge red error text at the top of the screen.
Edit 2: Part of the errors I'm getting are related to the (admittedly) humongous guild app fields. If you guys could all go to /node/add/guild-app and get me some feedback on what fields we should take out, please post here.
