argonian 12826 Share Posted September 3, 2022 No one goes to the Wiki for lore and you'd be pretty dumb to, because the forums serve you it in a way that you know will be up-to-date since that's where the ST actually handle it. The nature of subforums lends itself to better organisation than the Wiki could do it too. Would be an absolutely gigantic waste of time and energy tbh. Lorewise the Wiki should just have basic information needed to apply for the server + historical stuff IMO. Keeping up-to-date with all the magic and CA stuff would be shovelling snow in a blizzard for little reward. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping up-to-date with all the magic and CA stuff would be shovelling snow in a blizzard for little reward. honestly my number 1 critique of the forums these days are that people don't put enough poetry and less important information on it. I can find poetry from vailor and athera and anthos and asulon and yadda yadda on the wiki but I honestly don't know if anyone's put any new poetry on the wiki at all. or like, things that aren't wars, battles, noble bloodlines, or character/settlement related aren't put on the wiki much anymore. https://wiki.lordofthecraft.net/index.php?title=Vimmark-Sola_duel https://wiki.lordofthecraft.net/index.php?title=Goblin_Unification_Act stuff like this is cool I want more of this stuff on the wiki https://wiki.lordofthecraft.net/index.php?title=Literature we haven't had anything added to here since like 2017, only been edited to remove some random mori'quessir book or whatever. I want to find fun stuff on the wiki sometimes not just boring old nobility and warfare crud that I either already know about or don't care about. (maybe LOTC just doesn't have those weird kooky sort of less important events anymore and I'm just behind the times who knows. Do people still write poetry on LOTC outside of like that one person in Haense?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arafel 107 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I do hope you get around to recording the history of the Adunian people throughout Asulon and Anthos, including their glorious warfront against the Harbingers. You can always ask @The Hedge Knightfor the actual details of what went down back then and how. He's the only person I know of that was actually there and is still alive in the community (I think).

"Any and all characters known in the world might be found here." It does look like its open to any kind of character. it is i think like who cares if you make a page? no one will see it unless other pages reference it, and if other pages reference your character, it means they were significant to at least some extent 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
