Writing New Articles For the Wiki...

Circan

Dalayan Beginner
So, I've returned after a years absence. Been a big fan of this server for several years now and I feel it's my time to finally give back to the Developers and community.

In the process, I've been drafting up several new articles in an attempt to update the wiki in hopes that it may be made a bit more friendly for newer players. Since the implementation of tomes and a lot of higher end content, it can be a bit intimidating moving over the game - starting the marathon when the finish line is so far away so to speak.

Due to the servers population, I'm currently drafting an updated duo and solo oriented guide for players 55+ - help them find good, safe hunting locations, quests, farming, as well as try to inspire them to push their class. I'm not writing it based on the perspective of any one class (since I've played a druid, bard, enchanter, necro, and cleric), but grading events and locations based on difficulty in order to give everyone an idea of what they may or may not be able to handle.

I'm doing this so people don't feel discouraged to play a class they love for fear of not finding groups or having content to do. I've been playing seven years and I've hardly touched the end game content - there's plenty to do, it's just scattered.

If there's any thoughts about this, anyone who'd be willing to help me out some by providing information, or anyone who's against this for some reason. Let me know. I feel like doing this will help draw newer players in and keep them around long enough to see the end game.

How do you ladies and gents feel?

Well, it's in the very early stages, definitely. But I'll start posting drafts when I get to a slightly more complete product.
 
I am a new player on my first time through Dalaya. I am currently staying at 55 on the suggestion of other disenchanted players who have experienced being 65 and finding it lonely and too competitive. While I am enjoying the various content I can do at 55 I am starting to run out of new places to go and dreading having to level higher. The idea of having a guide from a player who has enjoyed the experience after 55 is encouraging. If there is any way I can help from the perspective of a new player please let me know
 
If the guide(s) are good and show more creativity or personal expression than the normal "Go to zone Y for levels x to z" I will totally throw some fame points your way for your trouble. It sounds awesome.
 
I have made a number of maps of various zones (mostly 65 exp/farm zones) with named locations labeled along with other useful things like safe spots, if you'd like to use them for your guides or anything. Let me know and I'll give you a link to them. Also I'm pretty familiar with just about every 65 zone if you want to bounce ideas off me regarding relative difficulty or best farming spots or things like that.
 
Depending on what you're looking for, I'd be down to help. I'm deliberately kind of taking my time bring two characters up through the ranks, trying to get in lots of quests and just explore different zones. Such adventures led me to recollect what happens when you *don't* walk in the "lava" in the basement of Shrouded Isle, for example... ;)

If you want, drop me a PM with what you're looking to do, otherwise find Serinar/Narvil online some night and we can chat. If nothing else, I can start collecting and organizing data.
