I'd love to see some documentation updates.

I think that the best way to handle common questions is to round them up from the forums and take them on directly.

Example: How do I add a new spell to the game?

Next I would suggest a format like:

Created: |DATE| by |NAME|
LAST VERIFIED WORKING: |DATE| by |NAME|

From my prospective, as someone that leaves and returns every couple of years, much of the trouble figuring out what is going on here is there are posts that simply don't reflect the current state.

The same questions frequently appear even with the smooth installation like: how do I make myself a GM, or why do spells over level x not seem to work, how come I can't summon certain pets, why do some of the character models look like bald human males, how come I can't zone into zone...and the answer is usually found by digging around in the forums looking for helpful posts in the past on the same topic. That is perfectly reasonable, but given the changes over the last 10 years the information you are pulling might be deprecated.

edit: wasn't thinking it would parse my date/name tags
