In Dalpok a native hunter has emerged from the jungle screaming of a horrific monster that ate his fellow hunters. Despite being somewhat sedated with a large number of alcoholic drinks, he continued to rant about it for several hours to anyone who would listen.

After many positive comments regarding the fast-switch bar, it has now been added to all accounts with donated-for characters. You will still need to enable the bar within your account settings page since it's not enabled by default.
If for any reason you have a donated-for character but cannot see the option to enable the fast-switch bar, please contact us.

Any account with at least one donated-for character can now have access to the latest feature - a fast-switch bar. This provides a quick way to switch between multiple characters and can be turned on/off from within the account settings page. A screenshot is shown below.
Please note that at present this is not globally available and must be requested (use the feedback page). Once more feedback has been received, it will be enabled for any account with a donated character.

A fisherman has reported seeing a giant squid to the north of the first Western Islet (known to some as Rodrigo Island). Naturally, he headed straight back to the safety of the beach and reported the sighting to a Kraken Hunter found in a bar in Durham.

As previously announced, the premium Shartak Shop has been closed. However, it's been recreated as a basic shop (free to run, but only one product from each category allowed) and currently has the Giant Squid image on a range of items.
We'll be updating the image used from time to time - if there's a particular one you'd like to see next, please let us know using the Feedback page.

Due to lack of interest, we will be closing the Shartak shop within the next few weeks. If you want to get a Shartak t-shirt, etc then you'd best get over to the Shartak shop soon!

Just a quick reminder that the contest to design a graphic for the Old One achievement is nearly over. The closing date is this Friday (although I'll probably accept anything up until early Saturday morning UK time).

As discussed on the forum in this thread, people have been busy updating the Shartak wiki with all the latest changes and enhancing the existing content.
There are still things that need updating - either sign up for a wiki account and make the changes yourself or post suggestions or content on the forum for someone else to action.

As visible on some profiles, there are now achievements to be gained. You can configure up to 5 of these to be shown on your profile page using the Edit Achievements button from the Edit Settings page. The first of these is Easter 2010 which was gained by anyone active on Easter Sunday, 2010.
Additional achievements will be added over the coming months - for example, the "Old One" achievement to be gained by anyone who was active in Shartak v1.
