DB Patched to 18.03.07

Database patched to v18.03.06

Beta version is now publicly available.
http://www.beta.xyphos.com

Beta version pretty much works like AO's testlive where site changes will be posted there for testing purposes before it actually goes live.

NOTE:
Due to the fact that beta is it's own isolated instance, registration between live and beta DOES NOT carry over.

However, if you've registered on live version before May 4, 2010
then you're automatically registered on the beta version cuz it was just a copy job. anyone registering after May 4, 2010 will have to register on beta and live separately.

Ok, so...
1 year spent analyzing the items DB before I created this website
1 year with the old version as a beta, during which I was devising this new version, which was supposed to be the final version

...and I still have a f-ton of bugs to fix, mostly db schema problems.

it seems that there will be another version of this site coming in the future, but for now I want to sit back and observe the problems going on with the current version and compare to the old version before I attempt to release a final.

just a heads up.

Mechanics Update: Searches are now 1000+ times faster!
I figured out a very useful database trick that allows partial/fragmented words on items' names to be searched via FULLTEXT index without adding any extra data or hacking my host :p

the downside to this is, one of the words being searched HAS to be at least 4 LETTERS long.
but I'm pretty sure that's not much of an inconvenience.

Also, this trick was added to the CIDB so the bots will work faster too!
