Hi all! I hit up a lot of World Events and stuff every day, and I’d been keeping track of what I’d done on which characters in notepad. Obviously, this wasn’t an ideal solution, so I came up with a web app that makes keeping track much easier.

When you first visit the page, it will ask you how many characters you have (it can track up to 5, I figure the chances of doing every world event on more than 5 characters before reset are pretty slim), and asks for their names. Once you enter this, the website will save (locally on your machine, via cookies) the names for a year, so you won’t need to enter them again for a long time.

You use the checkboxes to tick off what events you’ve done on which character. To make it more visually obvious which ones have been done (so that it’s easier to just glance at the page and see if you’ve done X on Y), the cell background behind the character’s name will change colour.

You can save/reset/load your checkboxes. This persists even if you refresh/close your tab, close your browser, or even shut down your computer.

It’s made my life a lot easier, and I sincerely hope that others get good use out of it as well.

Functions:
- It will save your character’s names automatically via cookies (so be sure they’re enabled!)
- It has Save/Load/Reset functions for the checkboxes, for you to use at daily reset.
- When a checkbox is clicked, the background of that table cell turns green, easily showing you that it’s been done.
-The icons/names of the events each lead to the wiki page (opens in a new window) of the meta event.

Limitations:
- If you want to change anything about the amount/names of your characters, you’ll need to clear the cookies for the page (cookies are saved for a year).
- The save/load function does not affect the table cell background colour.
- The table cell background colour cannot be undone except by refreshing the page. Considering the previous note, this can be a bonus, because you can un-check and re-check your loaded checks to restore both the checkmark and the colour on reload.
- No matter how many characters you have, there will always be five checkboxes.
- Currently no support for more than 5 characters.
