Making our guides a Wiki

Post by +Colibri »

If we were to convert our guides to Wiki-Form (wikipedia like), would you participate in building up the knowledgebase?

Not sure if it's such a great idea, we dont want all the info get out (so people dont have all the game secrets brought to them on a silver platter), but it might be good because players would be able to add things that are valuable to them.

We are a custom shard so this would be an option. But just an idea for now, the realization of which would depend on many factors.

15 days poll.

Since I've helped out some with the guides; this information can be very helpful to players who don't know what to do about skill building.So I guess in that way it can be very useful to just look up, say what to make for tailoring at 35.That way the player can have the information available , even if someone isn't online currently that has that skill.

I've taken alook at Wilks though and not all the information is really needed here on our shard(I think) The Quest part for example: We here at Excelsior obvisously don't have all those quests, but if we did the website pretty much walks you through the quests.Where's the fun in that? It'd be more like following a cooking recipe than playing a game.

That's pretty much the points I wanted to make.Guides for skills, or even where certian Dungeons are, or even some monstersare ok.Walkthroughs for quest? No thanks.
