Hi!
Better to start a new post on an old question IF there is no similar post on the first (perhaps the first few) page(s) and there is nothing about it in the Best Tips thread. We're all very aware that not everyone figures out how to use the search feature and even if you manage to figure that out, you can still end up with more than you can handle and not the answer that you want.
We've answered the question about how to get through the second door in the Crypt a couple of zillion times and we don't mind doing it again! lol!! We pretty much know the basic questions any new player is going to ask and we're very willing to answer.
There are a few old posts which are worth bumping from time to time but most of those have to do with W&W humor rather than the solution to problems. There are a couple of problems with bumping the very old threads. We've still got threads on this board from ages ago. Many of the posters in those threads are no longer registered at Ironworks. There isn't much point to replying to some message posted years ago. There are probably a few dozen similar posts that are newer.
If the old thread was the epitome on that particular subject, it would have made it into the Best Tips thread.
There used to be dates and times on the posts which I miss greatly. We have posts that stretch back to 2000 and without the time stamp it isn't obvious.
Those of us who have been around for ages know this but it isn't necessarily obvious to someone new to the board.
As far as the search for the missing traits - I believe that the search continues but that there is nothing new to report. This game was rushed to market and it's quite likely that traits that were planned to be included were omitted in the final release. If something new arises, I'm sure we'll see that thread pop back up!
