So it has been some time since I have really updated the PFOFan.com website. With the second land rush picking up and Alpha getting ever closer I wanted to bring this to everyones attention.
Since it has been awhile I wanted to re-state the goals of the site. PFOFan.com is intended to be a site for community building without directly linking it to a specific guild (chartered company, settlement, nation, etc). It is positioned to be a source of news for the game independent of any organization. Once the game is released I would also like for it to be a place that fosters the growth of the community and where community news about events and different things going on in the server can be found. Additionally, I would really like to see more of the commmunity social features utilized to the point it acts as a sort of social media site for the *characters* and guilds of the game.
**Emphasis on characters rather than players. The community social features could be a really great way to have more information and external play around the characters of the game, rather than focusing on the players.**
Current functionality includes:
*News posts about Pathfinder Online
*Community Social - features such as creating groups, events, adding friends, etc
*Forums
*Dev Feeds
*Teamspeak - Guild neutral teamspeak for anyone that registers on the site to use
As noted this hasn't been heavily updated in several months. However I am working on that aspect. Some things for those who are already familiar with the site. I have removed the link to the PFOFan wiki (the wiki is still there just no longer on the main page) Instead, I have added the link to the Pathfinder Wiki where I will be working on information moving forward. Also, as you may have noticed I swapped things out to the lighter color scheme. The old color scheme is still selectable but I will likely remove that in the future.
Finally I did want to put this out there. I am extremely busy so while I do plan to start investing a great deal more time into the site once again I would happily consider, if there were others, individuals that might be interested in helping to maintain/update the site. Specifically around posting up news around the game, if nothing else acting as data collectors/writers for me to post up onto the site. Additionally, if you are knowledgeable with Joomla and web development in general I could always use help with the maintenance and implementation of new functionality on the site. If you are potentially interested please feel free to shot me a PM here.

I had actually reserved pfo.wiki (new gTLD that came out recently). I cancelled my reservation when I had learned that there was already a Pathfinder Wiki started (albeit empty, last I looked).
For that matter, pfo.wiki is definitely available, if someone wants to pay the $40/yr for it.
