Some of you may already know
Morphling.de and those may have noticed, the lack of real updates.
Well I have been really busy with university and this mysterious "real life" that my priorities had pretty much shifted away from the game for quite some time.
Even though I have found some time to play in a few tournaments lately, my time remains limited as well as my motivation.
So right now I had a choice to make: What to do with Morphling.de?
I could just abandon the whole thing, I could give the complete thing into worthwhile hands or I could simply sell it to a generous Online Shop owner or someone just willing to pay money for it.
Thing is, for more than 40 months now, this page pretty much has been my baby, and I hope it has found its place in the community.
My main motivation for coding the page and maintaining it while putting so much of my spare time into it, was to provide information which, at least back then, no one did. Right now, you can barely find T8 decks on the page because most people think it's easier to just post them on the appropriate forum, so that people can discuss and especially instantly review them, something to which I couldn't agree more. This has somehow rendered Morphling.de less and less useful.
The right step therefore will be...
...to go ahead and restructure the page, keeping in mind, that most forums are ahead informationwise, and not only post decks from mails I receive, but also scout the forums for any kind of valuable information. If anyone feels his information is stolen when I copy them from their forum/page, feel free to contact me and I will immediately remove the "stolen" content and resign from pasting anything from their property in the future.
Additionally the content which is already in the database needed to be made a lot more accessible, since it has become so huge and will grow a lot faster now, therefore I have added a search function, which is still "beta" simply because I couldn't test it as much as I would've liked, and I have created new archives for Top8 Decks, Reports and Galleries as well as a restructured schedule, which can be easily filtered to find the desired information.
On top of that, I thought that maybe adding a script to automatically generate .dec files for Apprentice from posted decklists might be a good idea as well. You can find those downloads on the left below the corresponding decklist.
I have tweaked a few things, like putting a red marking next to fresh content in the Recent Box for 5 days, doing some statistics on highly played cards and adding a way to comment announcements.
The ad-banner will be permanently removed, there will not be a new one from now on, so don't bother me with any offers unless yours let's me forget the meaning of the phrase "going to work" for the rest of my life...
I have prepared a paypal donate account to compensate the loss of the ad-banner income, so feel free to donate if you think the page is worth it.
Right now, I hope everyone interested will like the redone Morphling.de and the community accepts this as my Christmas present...
All I have left to say, is wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
