i did a search on any adresses for wiki but didnt find any that worked.

I wish it were up, i got some stuff to add now that the games back.

 

[Haisei]

I'd also like to see this come back up, was a good source of info last time.

 

[Tancred]

any info on the status of my precious wiki? :sadf:

 

[BeittilBonker]

I so need some info from the wiki =D

 

[Tempus]

I hope it comes back soon i threw away some of my notes in frustration when the server was shutdown before :roll: silly me

I must be like the only person against wiki. I think spoiler sites are a bane of any mmog in that they trivialize the accomplishments of those who first discover info, give incentive to "cheat" and look outside of the game for info, ruin mystery, and speed up content consumption, which is the main bottleneck for these games.

You dont 'have' to use the wiki

I kind of agree. Spoilers do indeed trivialize the accomplishment and ruin the mystery, however it can become quite frustrating not knowing what to do next. In my opinion, quest guides and the like should be limited to private discussion--guild forums, asking for guidance from an experienced player via /tells, etc.--and not posted up in a mindless step-by-step guide.

I can understand the need for quest write ups for the Live version of the game, as some of the writings weren't necessarily clear or a particular piece of knowledge was ommitted. But the quests written for SoD are thoroughly written so as not to keep you guessing at what they mean...

Of course there are the few quests that require a bit of brainwork to solve the riddle within it. And I can see where wiki comes in handy. Beats /ooc'ing "Say what do have I have to do next on the such-n-such quest?"

Not to mention if you haven't written down the clues, what-you-need's for the quest, or its been a while since you last played. Wiki does come in handy.

Still hope...

I found out on the IRC channel today that the person who would get the wiki back up and running is out of town, so that's probably the delay.

(Thanks again Raherin!)

 

[Zhak Morris]

I'd definitely like to see the Wiki return, was a great feature.

 

[Ciaran]

What I really miss from it is the write ups on all the adepts. I used to have all their zones and drops and special bits mostly memorized but it's amazing what you can forget after a couple months.

 

[dunbar]

Just wondering if any progress had been made on getting the wiki back up. Could use some info on cleric starfall quests.

 

[Hasrett]

I'll reiterate my earlier offer, since I've received no yea or nay from any admins or devs: I may well be able to provide free and ad-free hosting for the wiki until such time as other hosting is found.

If it's a matter of coding or something like that, though, I'm about as useful as a dead goat in a beauty contest.

 

[imitator]

And if you dont like smelly Hasrett here I can also offer my services, and a humble background of coding to possibly make something like the Wiki.

 

[Elysium]

Loved the wiki, hope to see it's return.
