ALSO: You complained, we listened! Many of you found the TSSPost difficult to use. We want it to be a tool you can really like and use often. So we have begun setting up infrastructure on the tss main website.

YOU CAN HELP!

Feel free to begin moving items, quests and NPCs from the TSSpost website to http://www.theseventhsungame.net/item-database. You can save the pictures from the post and bring them over for the items.

Thank you for taking the time to help. As soon as everything is transferred over, we will close down the post.
