Maggie the Jackcat
Maggie the Jackcat was a player on the Thistledown server who ran an AC fansite and game guide from Asheron's Call Beta in 1999 to November of 2011. Her site was part contribution based - in other words, players would send her information and screenshots, which she would then add to her patch pages and other sections of the site on a contributor's behalf.
Maggie's dedication to both the game and her site resulted in her guide being one of the best sources of all AC related information. Because of this, Maggie is something of a celebrity in the world of Asheron's Call and is popular with both the Turbine developers and players alike, who in the past would send Maggie not only contributions for her guide but also fanmail as well.
Ned Cleversun and status of the Website
Maggie's website was originally created as a guide for her in game vassal, Ned Cleversun. In 2008, the player who created Ned sadly passed away.
From thejackcat.com:
"I originally designed this site with information I began compiling in Beta for the enjoyment and education of my wonderful vassal, Ned Cleversun. I must have done an excellent job because once he began to play, he immediately surpassed me in level and is now --eight-- TWENTY-NINE levels above me. He is nice enough to dump points regularly into loyalty, so I don't fall too far behind!"
Maggie's real life obligations resulted in fewer updates being made to her website over time. The last substantial update was made in late 2007 for the Children of the Prodigal Lord event.
As of November 2011, Maggie the Jackcat's site and the ACMaps website are both offline.
