I can't find any, but if there are any violations or errors in the article, change them and/or notify me. User talk:AQWIKI 05:06 PM, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Class section

Hey eveyone! This is the first thing I put up so I may have no exprence. I wonder, i was reading this and i think that the "classes" section just sort of fell apart and disapeared. Can you guys reply back wether we should have a "classes" section or not???" Now there are a lor of new classes and the people might want to know about them. Help!!!! --Jakcer (talk) 04:37, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Yo, Jakcer. I'm a big AQ Worlds fan, and I would like to now what Classes are for "guests" (Free-2-Players), MechQuest Star Captains, DragonFable Dragonlords, AdventureQuest Gaurdians, and AQ Worlds Gaurdians. I'd also like to know what each Class' abilities and purposes. So, please, keep the Class section AND keep it up to date! The Classes that I know of: Warrior, Mage, Priest (Healer), Rouge, Pirate (Same as Rouge), Ninja, Beast Warrior (AdventureCoins needed), Assassin (???), Paladin (???), Rustbucket (???), and Berzerker (????). Please look the ones after Ninja especially, I want to know about those. Thank you for reading.

[edit] MMO or MMORPG?

On the site it says that it is an MMO, but in the article it refers to it as an MMORPG. Is this accurate? Quadrantz (talk) 23:13, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

MMO is an abbreviation for MMORPG. MMORPG actually stands for Massive (sometimes Massively) Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. MMO means Massive (or Massively) Multiplayer Online, and can refer to all multiplayer online games, not just RPGs (Role-Playing Games). So it's technically both an MMO and an MMORPG. I've used MMORPG in the article because I think it makes a little more sense. Alinnisawest (talk) 02:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

How about Massive Multiplayer Online Game? I doubt you can interact with other player in-game, like the first three. Cap tain | contribs 13:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

You can, in fact, interact with other players in it.Gravelz (talk) 15:23, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

True. But all three terms (MMO, MMOG, and MMORPG) are often used to describe the same thing- a multiplayer, online game. And in AQW, you can interact with other people at the same time. And it even works on dial-up! AE is amazing! Alinnisawest (talk) 16:10, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Then it's MMORPG. Cap tain | contribs 06:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, there's no question that its an MMORPG. MMO indicates that it is massively multi player (because it has interaction between players.) Its an RPG just like their earlier three games on top of that, and therefore is an MMORPG.

Agreed. So AQWorlds is an MMORPG but it can be called an MMO or MMOG for short. By the way, I seriously do not see the reason in bringing up MMO or MMORPG. Isn't every MMO an RPG? So, let's get this straight. It's an MMORPG, but every MMO is an RPG so it's an MMORPG, but it can be called an MMO for short. See my point? -- Awesomedude736 (talk) 06:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

True. Your playing the role of your Hero of Good/Evil and you are fighting the Chaos Lords and Drakath, so it is an MMORPG. Mr Kirby XIII (talk) 15:21, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Sir Ver

I think it would be worthwhile to mention the sever AQW runs on -- nicknamed Sir Ver, for those of you who didn't know. "Sir Ver" is in a sense a mascot for the game, was named by the players, and has been given a picture. I think at least a mention and perhaps his picture deserve a place somewhere in the article. EmilyELewis (talk) 19:53, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, he's more of an in-joke than an integral part of the game. Wikipedia is for information, not stuff that's only important to players of the game. In the AE Wikiproject, we generally go by the Video Games WikiProject article guidelines, although I think Eruhildo was going to write some up specifically for our Wikiproject. So they basically say that if it's only important or informational to players of the game, it shouldn't be included. Alinnisawest (talk) 04:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's a minor thing that only matters to players. The VG MOS is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines by the way. The guidelines I'm working on will summarize those and have ones that are more specific to our project. --Eruhildo (talk) 04:55, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gallery

Lets get rid of the gallery ASAP. Those images that add to the article should be merged into the prose and those that do not should be marked for deletion. --Eruhildo (talk) 23:41, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I agree. I will re-write the article once it goes into progressive beta testing so the article isn't all about the tests when it should be about gameplay.

ɫ§Veonyx§ɫ ^{~Talk to Me~}_{~My Acts~} 03:54, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Added a rough draft for gameplay. Feel free to sharpen it up.

ɫ§Veonyx§ɫ ^{~Talk to Me~}_{~My Acts~} 04:25, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Looks pretty good so far. Could use a little more out-of-universe perspective and a bit of explaining about experience points and gold and such, but it's a good solid start. --Eruhildo (talk) 06:08, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. The gallery really adds nothing to the article. PacificJon (talk) 21:38, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Testing Section

I've rewritten and removed a great deal of the section on the testing. It was way too long, way too complicated, and obviously had simply been added to as testing went along. Updates will likely be farther apart now that it's in beta, so we can rewrite it gradually as new developments are revealed. It may still need some paring down, but I hope it's better than before. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 21:22, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Looks good. Thanks for staying on that. --Eruhildo (talk) 06:04, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I like it. Good job PacificJon (talk) 15:45, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What NOT to Put in the Article (IMO)

Couple of things here... for starters, I really don't think a list of classes belongs in the article yet. (Whether or not it belongs in ANY article is a whole different story...) Perhaps, when the article is more developed and contains more information about gameplay (after the full release, of course), the list could be added back in, but for now I think it's fine to leave it without it.

Second, dates of original testing, secondary testing (after the Great Rhubarb Incident), other testing, special testing, beta testing, progressive beta testing, and whatever other kind of testing you can think of also probably shouldn't be put in the article. Right now, I agree that we should include the dates of original alpha testing (June 2) and original beta testing (August 18), but I don't think any other dates are important. Dates of when it will be fully released should definitely not be put in the article, because they're pure speculation.

Just wanted to lay out my feelings on this article, and explain any actions I may have taken or may take in the future. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 19:28, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree with that, though if an official release date is announced, it should appear in the article. Also, what's the difference between Progressive Beta testing and Beta testing? The article had two different dates for those before. --Eruhildo (talk) 17:25, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea. I tried going through the DNs to find out, but I really didn't find any difference, so I removed it. (I think I got all the references straightened out, anyway!) --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 18:05, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and Gamma release is planned for early October. I presume that's the final release (and somebody added it to the article as such), but we can't really say for certain, so I reworded it a bit, although it's rather clumsy. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 01:46, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

Since someone's gone on a rampage and tagged just about every page about web-based games (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(toys_and_games)#Video_games for context, and note that someone's decided that Web games as a category are not notable) I thought I'd start off some discussion about why AQWorlds is notable.

I seem to recall reading somewhere in the release notes for AQWorlds that it is in fact the first Flash-based true MMORPG, which ought to be pretty darn notable. Does someone have source for this?

Feyandstrange (talk) 08:49, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

According to this: http://www.andrewwooldridge.com/blog/2004/06/dofus-first-flash-based-mmorpg.html , it's not the first Flash-based MMORPG. I don't know what makes it "true", but maybe we could reference the release notes? Quadrantz (talk) 15:45, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Classes

Should I add the different classes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Foxcow (talk • contribs) 16:10, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

No, that would fall under WP:GAMECRUFT #6. --Eruhildo (talk) 04:11, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Additions

I added new (and hopefully undeleted) sections about Classes, Chat, Expected Releases, Trailers and Plot. Could I please have some professional advice or edits to my new articles, just to sharpen them up?

I like to keep this AQWorlds Wikipedia article up to date with the game and even though I only recently joined the Wikipedia editing business, I'd like to keep this article in ship-shape. I'm not exactly a pro yet, so i might need to have a little editing help until I get the hang of it.

Any feedback on my articles? Any suggestions? -- Awesomedude736 (talk) 12:10, 9 December 2008

I have now added the "Economy, Exp and Rep" section as well as 2 new external references. I have also tweaked other articles to keep this page up to date. I still haven't had any feedback yet, so PLEASE reply -- Awesomedude736 (talk) 06:17, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Are you sure that we should add EXPECTED classes? What about WP:CRYSTAL? Gopal81^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 23:40, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Good Point. I'll delete that. Anything else? Awesomedude736 (talk) 07:00, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

In fact, it appears the whole classes section has been deleted. I might add it back on later on once this article is nicely repped up. By the way, I'm just wondering why it got deleted. (I just want to know and, if anything, I completely agree with its deletion) Awesomedude736 (talk) 07:05, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Classes

Apparently Classes have been taking over a number of sections, so I've made its own. Any material about the classes section should go HERE. Awesomedude736 (talk) 07:09, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps the classes section should be readded, but it should become a section of information, rather than a list of all the classes. I will re-add the section in this new way, but ONLY if everyone else agrees that it is appropriate. Please put in your input befre I re-add it. Awesomedude736 (talk) 07:12, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

I think that you should add a classes section because people who want information on the game (and may even want to play it) would proboably want to know what they can do--75.18.226.75 (talk) 04:31, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ...

I tried to clean up the page on my own, but I might need some help.

Also, whoever made those comments; please put them in the talk page (here) at least, not in the main article. That is all.

7h3 3L173 (talk) 04:59, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article clean up

I took care of some of the more pressing issues, but the article still needs a lot of work. I apologize for not fixing things up and commenting sooner - I've been a bit busy lately. The best place to look for way to improve the article would be the Video games project article guidelines. --Eruhildo (talk) 03:27, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Costumes

Sorry for being gone for a while people, anyway, added costumes under classes. Feel free to expand on it further.

ɫ§Veonyx§ɫ ^{~Talk to Me~}_{~My Acts~} 23:23, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Eherm... sorry. I did a huge overhaul (which took a long time and had an edit conflict) and I did too much to check what you did (sorry) so I deleted what you did (not on purpose; edit conflict). You might need to rewrite it... again, sorry. I'm going on history right now to incorporate what you did.

7h3 3L173 (talk) 23:47, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Done, ya.

7h3 3L173 (talk) 04:02, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Incoming

The big release that is coming tommarrow (Jan 16th, 09) will have A LOT of new armors (costumes), 14 to be exact, and I'm not sure if we should add them to the costumes part of the article. These armors aren't really going to be costumes, they are going to be armors that allow you to be a different form of that class. Tell me what you think.

P.S. I might clean up the article this weekend.

ɫ§Veonyx§ɫ ^{~Talk to Me~}_{~My Acts~} 00:11, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

There's no reason to list out the armors merely to name them per WP:GAMECRUFT #6. What is there now looks too crufty to me. The armors section should talk about armors in general and how they affect gameplay. It should not talk about what individual armors do unless it affects the game in a major way. Ah that I had the time to clean up this article. Please clean as much as you can. --Eruhildo (talk) 05:24, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] New Releases

Hey guys! I think that we should start adding more stuff to the new releases/locations section. I just added the costume section in that current section because it is a big release... right? Well just wanted to see if i could get any help...
--May you days be filled with adventure
User:Jakcer (talk) 06:54, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I removed it. Costumes were already suggested towards the beginning of the article under "Classes/Armors and Costumes"

ɫ§Veonyx§ɫ ^{~Talk to Me~}_{~My Acts~} 00:42, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I just realised something horribly wrong! Classes/armors (in-game) is all updatedty, and you should, I dunno, update the classes/armors too? For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, the changes are this:

Armors are just now armors; they do not determine class/skills, and are just for dress
Costumes have been fused into armors

Happy, happy, fun-time, good luck to the editor who has to sort through this mess.

7h3 3L173 (talk) 04:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I think that I fixed the class & armor/costume problem

Please go back and check if I did it right

P.S. Yes 7h3 3L173, I did have a Happy, happy, fun-time,editing this.

[edit] THE MAIN STORY IS GOING TO BE ON TOMORROW!!!

Sorry for the heading. I just am reminding those of who are on that the main story is coming out tomorrow!!! Everyone better be on for it. That way we can update wikipedia online faster.
By the way, those of who are going to do the story tomorrow, go to (Whatever the this place is called)-3000. That way we might be able to see each other online. That way we can calaborate on how we should right it faster.=) I have classes tomorrow so I can't do it tomorrow. I will do it on Saturday though...
Thx for reading me freak out.
--May you days be filled with adventure
User:Jakcer (talk) 04:55, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

In something that seems somewhat unrelated; "The city of Shadowfall is expected to be released later on in the game, definitely having to do something with the plot because it is built around Sepulchure's crashed Dracolich fortress (which was and still is in DragonFable)." Yeah, they're going to release it soon, and bit badly worded, grammatical errors... someone fix it please. I know someone is, 'cause such-and-such... well anyway, it'd be a great help if someone does this sooner.

I 'fixed' it. Not well though. Feel free to expand on it further.

7h3 3L173 (talk) 05:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey! You edit conflicted me >:(

7h3 3L173 (talk) 06:04, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

All right, I refixed it. Working on plot though I might not finish by today *Yawns* Is it 9:43 already?

7h3 3L173 (talk) 05:43, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Frostvale; Speculation

I'm considering deleting some of the less relevant stuff (passive skills, among some others), and fusing Frostval with Frostvale. Plus, Frostval is a horrible typo. Either that or you could change the name (Frostval) slightly (no misspellings please, maybe adding (Location) or something), to diffrentiate it.

Also, I propose either deleting the speculation (it does still have some), or creating a section for it (par MechQuest).

Just all suggestions here.

7h3 3L173 (talk) 04:12, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Rather than merging the Frostval and Frostvale sections, I think it would be better to merge all the holiday events into one section and all the locations into a separate section. There's not really a need for each to receive its own subheader. Go ahead and delete anything that is less relevant or speculation - this article is in desperate need of a clean up. The MechQuest article has a speculation section? That's not a good thing... --Eruhildo (talk) 20:33, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

It was going to have one but it didn't work out. I'm just noting about that. I'm going to try and do your propositions now...

7h3 3L173 (talk) 22:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Done. And here I'd like to say it'd be great if someone puts something about the friend system.

7h3 3L173 (talk) 22:40, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Article's a Bit Long, No?

Hello, all. Eruhildo probably remembers me, but mostly everyone else probably doesn't. I used to help out with the AE articles, but then I left Wikipedia abruptly (personal matters). I've recently decided to return, though, so I'm just looking around and seeing what's up and how I can help.

The thing which hits me about this article is the length. AQWorlds is a fairly new game; there's not much content other than armors, random quests, and the two bits of story that have been released (the intro and the Inquisitor part). A common problem in game articles is that we want to stuff everything into it, but that makes it a poor article. I think this article needs some serious pruning, and I'll see about starting into that. I haven't played the latest release (I'm so behind, mostly because I have an intense aversion to playing with groups... I did do the intro, though), but I've been around since beta, so I know what's going on.

Anyway, just wanted everyone to know why this random user is suddenly deleting half the article! :) --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 00:21, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

All right, I did a lot of severe editing. Many of the sections were either too long, burdened with excess information, or completely unnecessary. We really need to remember that this is Wikipedia, and we need to have a quick overview of the important features of AQW, not a game guide! We also need to abide by the WP:Video Games guidelines, which means no excessive detail about gameplay or lists of armors/weapons/locations. Primary sections that I removed were Chat (unnecessary; we're not here to educate people on how to use emotes) and Locations (lists like these... I don't like them at all. The casual reader does not care, which means we do not want them in the article. I wish we could talk more about gameplay, but we can't.). I pruned down the Economy, Holiday Events, and Basics sections, and rewrote a great deal of the rest, so I hope it's all good now. Any opinions? --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 21:27, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

It probably dosen't need a "Gameplay Basics" anymore...--156.3.74.84 (talk) 20:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

True. What else could we call a section on basic gameplay, though? It's probably not a bad idea to have a very basic, barebones overview of how the game works (kill monsters, do quests), although I'm not sure what the general consensus is on that. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 11:20, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I mean the title, actually, but I see where you're getting at. I don't think it'd hurt, really, but, well, you know... Seriously, no problem with it. It's alright. (Though, I suppose, if it has that, it could be divided into paragraphs to enchance "readability.")--156.3.74.84 (talk) 20:25, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Also, the Conquistors saga isn't part of the main plot.--156.3.74.84 (talk) 20:26, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] PROD

Ok, this article is up for deletion. We really need to find some references, etc. to keep that from happening! If you find any references or other things which can prove its notability, please add them to the article. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 20:49, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't really get it. What do we need to add? cause i have some extra time, write whatever we need to add on my talk page.
P.S. I'm gonna beat up the guy who put this up for deleation.
P.S.S.do you know how to show the reasons for deleation?
P.S.S.S. do you think this deleation thing is vandalism?

--May you days be filled with adventure
User:Jakcer (talk) 01:53, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

The proposal is not vandalism. It was put up by Oo7565 which seems to be a respectable wikipedia member. What we really need to add are sources. The article needs to match the standards of the WP:N.

Also, all deletion concerns can be answered at the WP:PROD page. This includes how to agree or disagree with the deletion.

I will try to put up sources for the articles over the next few days. Try and find third party sources also. These are from sites that are not affiliated with the site or the game.

ɫ§Veonyx§ɫ ^{~Talk to Me~}_{~My Acts~} 02:38, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Has anyone here even googled "AQ Worlds review"? Silly humans...

7h3 3L173 (talk) 03:22, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, hence my recent edits. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 14:32, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] AQ Worlds checklist

Ok peoples, give yourself a cookie cause we finally got rid of that stupid deleation request on the AQ Worlds page. I think I should delete the dealetion notification on the homepage now... I'll do that right after this. So for this page, we need to do a couple of things

add more sources and refrences
- This is proboably the main reason that this page was put up for deleation in the first place. As Alinnisawest said, we need more third-party sources.

Plot
- We should keep an eyes up for the main plot on Friday, February 13, 2009 (I know Friday the 13th, scary)
- Everyone who can play on Friday, get on so we can update the AQ Worlds page as fast as we can.

Short Question
- should I add a Minor plots section, then I can put in the citadel story. (Who knows, the casual reader might be intrested in this sort of stuff.
  That's all I can think of right now. So have fun editing fellow Wikipedians and may your keyboards stay sharp. :3
  --May you days be filled with adventure
  User:Jakcer (talk) 02:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

So you read my comment then? Very good...

The plot section may need an update.

7h3 3L173 (talk) 21:22, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, a minor plots section would be nice.

ɫ§Veonyx§ɫ ^{~Talk to Me~}_{~My Acts~} 03:16, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh, you wrote a comment? I see it. I never saw it until I added stuff onto the main plot. Can you peoples check it to see if I did that section with proper refrences, or other stuff. Also can someone else(like 7h3 3L173) add the citadel minor plot please? Thank you peeps! Lets get this page updated!!!

--May your keyboards stay sharp fellow wikipedians :3
User:Jakcer (talk) 07:23, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

I have a few things to add... First of all, one good edit is better than a dozen poor ones. One small but effective edit makes more of a difference than twenty bad ones. So before we head off willy-nilly into the land of adding anything and everything to the article, it's important we remember a couple of things.

Before anyone adds anything, I think we all need to take a good, long look at WP:VG/GL, the Video Games Wikiproject article guidelines. We really, really need to remember that we are a sub-Wikiproject of the Video Games project.
Also, everything that can be added should not be added to the article. A brief summary (without speculation!) is appropriate, but nothing more. A brief explanation of the basic gameplay is acceptable, but nothing more. Remember that images should only be used to help clarify points or to assist the reading of the article; the beta picture is a good idea, for example, but pictures of the Lore Grimoire are unnecessary.
Finally, check spelling and grammar before adding anything! It's not the "Lord Grimoirel", it's the "Lore Grimoire". It's very important that we be accurate.

I just wanted to put up what I feel should be our primary goals in this article. If we don't follow these, the article will just end up being a mess again. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 18:28, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I did say I wouldn't revert your edits, but... OK, I'm not going to remove the Minor Plots section (even though I feel it's unnecessary, as there is virtually no plot at present), but I'm going to do some rewriting, which it needs. And please read what I wrote above... again, it's not the Lord Grimoirel! I'm also going to take out one of the pictures, because there doesn't need to be more than one. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 14:12, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

OK, let me explain my recent edits... I removed the link to the video again, as that's more or less advertising. We are not here to get people to play AQW. We are here to provide a short overview of the game, without going in depth at all. Again, please read WP:VG/GL! Explaining the DNs is unnecessary, it's fine to just say that such-and-such will happen and then link to the DNs in a ref. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 14:20, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Refrence List

Um... Sorry but i don't know how to add refrences to the refrence list can someone tell me how to do it, or can someone just do it for me. (the link is below) Thank You

Check out WP:CITE. The pages here can be confusing, but try to work through them (and learn how to use the ref template) and you'll be on track. Also, look through this article to see refs in action; the best way to learn how to use wikiformatting is to actually see it being used. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 18:20, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I suppose it isn't entirely appropriate to bla, bla, bla, here but anyone seen this?

Meh... if an unconnected editor doesn't AfD that, I might myself... it's totally unnecessary, IMO. (and really, this sort of thing should go on on the Wikiproject talk page. I'll put a note there... --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 02:54, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Misc. Section?

Hmm... I see you guys added a Misc. section to the article. Do you really think it's needed? All your really doing is stating the major bugs of the past.

- Edit: I would also like to see the classes and armors to have their own section again. Agreed?

ɫ§Veonyx§ɫ ^{~Talk to Me~}_{~My Acts~} 03:13, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

No, at least I think it needs to stay a sub-section. Anyway, haven't you seen this? It, needs to stay in gameplay, I think. And I think maybe just the name of Misc. should be changed--156.3.74.84 (talk) 20:46, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Someone removed it. Explaination here? Thnx--156.3.74.84 (talk) 20:15, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Maybe because it was worthless? It told of past glitches of the game, which has no contribution rate for the article. It's was just mindless commenting of the game. Thumbs up to the person who removed it, I was just about to.

ɫ§Veonyx§ɫ ^{~Talk to Me~}_{~My Acts~} 23:29, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I removed the Glitches section and left my explanation in my edit summary. Glitches are not encyclopedic; they certainly do not belong in a general article on AQWorlds. On an AQW-specific wiki, perhaps; here, no. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 03:25, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Plot

I have added a chunk of stuff on the Plot including the intro. Should I shorten it because I somehow feel its too long (but not as long as the AQ plot) Or did I do it right? Reply!!!!!
--May your keyboards stay sharp fellow wikipedians :3
User:Jakcer (talk) 06:29, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Like I said, the things I put up to get the plot updated included Chapters 1 and 2, the Prelude, the Lore Grimoire, Drakath, what game he came from, Sepulchure's death, his daughter, the chaorruption, and other things. Well, actually, I put that to the synopsis. Why was that deleted? Can anyone at least give me an answer?

 I think that you should at least put the stuff that AE puts into the Story tab of the Book of Lore (in-game) should be put together, while all the other stuff is put in order of release after the story groupping. Mr Kirby XIII (talk) 20:59, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

There's been at least 3 instances of vandalism in the last 24-hours. Is it okay to request some kind of protection and if so can someone please do it?--156.3.74.84 (talk) 20:15, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

It's not as simple as just saying there is vandalism. You need to have EXCESSIVE amounts of it over a period of time for you to be eligible for protection. Also, if we were granted protection, you wouldn't be able to edit the article, :D just a little side note for you. I could request it, but the last time I requested (AQ article), it was only based on recent vandalism. Some weeks we are free and clear of vandalism and some weeks we are bombarded.

ɫ§Veonyx§ɫ ^{~Talk to Me~}_{~My Acts~} 23:36, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I think the vandalism is really just one guy being an annoying prankster. Whoever it is keeps replacing names of people and characters in the article with "GRS 3000". I just fixed two more spots where this was done. We may simply be able to get a temporary editing ban on the IP address of whoever did this, though I'm not well-versed in what Wikipedia has the power to do about vandalism. It's not a huge problem, but this is the second time I've had to fix this gy's nonsense. Netavifromhell (talk) 23:02, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I will help keep an eye on him. I really hate that person. These types of edits have happened a couple times. I wonder why people would want to vandalise Wikipedia anyways. Makes me sad. **sigh**
--May your keyboards stay sharp fellow wikipedians :3
User:Jakcer (talk) 05:14, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Now there's even more from other idiots. This time some braindead monkey was putting "this so and so character is the strongest in the game!" on the head. It seems to me that every act of vandalism is less intelligent than the one before it.

[edit] NEW LOOK FOR AQ WORLDS PAGE

I have made a revised version of the AQ Worlds page in my personal sandbox (link below). Should I change the article to this version? Also can someone help me check my grammer and spelling becuase I am a little short on time. I NEED A REPLY SOON OR ELSE I WILL CHANGE IT IN 3 DAYS! because I think that this is more informational.

--May your keyboards stay sharp fellow wikipedians :3
User:Jakcer (talk) 02:15, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

I think there are good aspects about it that can be merged into the current edition, but I don't think the whole page needs to be replaced... for one thing, the version in your sandbox is broken up into many little sections, while I think the overall article would be better served by more concise wording. For example, the "Quests" section isn't necessary at all. It would fit in an article on MMORPGs, but we aren't supposed to explain common aspects of MMORPGs. It's part of the guidelines, and I agree with it. If people want to know how quests work in MMORPGs, they can play one or read the MMORPG page. I'll leave some specific feedback on the sandbox's talk page, OK? --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 20:34, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay I am going to postpone the update date for a while. Meanwhile, watch out for vandalism. Can everyone help me on the AQ Worlds article in my sandbox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jakcer/Sandbox). Thank you.
--May your keyboards stay sharp fellow wikipedians :3
User:Jakcer (talk) 05:44, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Jakcer, I know you really want to use your version, but I really don't think we all agree on it. I wrote out my response to it on the talk page of your sandbox; please read my objections. Basically, while I think a rewrite of a few sections is in order, having many very small sections is pointless. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 01:48, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Um, hello?

Yeah, uh, I'm sorry, but can whoever deleted my edit of the Plot or Synopsis section please tell me WHY they did that, before I re-type every single thing? Because honestly, I brought that article up to speed with, oh, I don't know, WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING IN THE GAME. Seriously, I edited it like what, a few days ago? March 11? Until then, it said that not much has been released besides the Intro. Uh....HELLO? We've BEEN past the Intro! I put up Chapter 1, Chapter 2, AND the Intro, and now, after only, 1,2,5Days? IT GOT DELETED. Now, the synopsis is back to what is was. Can someone PLEASE give me an answer? Because now, I'm REALLY kinda ticked... —Preceding unsigned comment added by User:RMSXIII (talk • contribs)

Anyone can edit any article. See WP:OWN. RainbowOfLight ^Talk 05:28, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Please also read the posts on this talk page... the general consensus on the AE Wikiproject (as has been developed from the other game articles) is that the game synopsis should be as concise and general as possible. DragonFable barely even has any plot! So you see that we try to trim it down to a very basic overview. An in-depth explanation of each part of the storyline belongs on the AQW Wiki or Wikia, not in this (very general) article on Wikipedia. So if you re-add it all, it will simply be removed (or shortened considerably) again.

That being said, I'd like to thank you for the updated synopsis all the same... it does need to be kept current, but if each new added part simply gets added on the end of the old section, it just gets out of control! That happened several times with MechQuest. Finally we realized that what we have to do is not simply add on to the old section; instead, it's important to rewrite or integrate the new information in a shortened fashion so the section does not grow too much in size. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 01:52, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

                 Thank you, just needed an answer.

There's been plenty of reviews already (just Live Search "AdventureQuest Worlds 32000"), why not make a critical reception section already?

Also, possible references for authenciation that 32,000 players were on in the Friday the 13th II event (okay, okay, yes, I know...):

To me, Risdon Byrd or know as farooq56 in AQWorlds say that the game is fun. You make your own character and run around. You can also fight with your friends thanks to AQWorlds being a MMORPG. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.68.65.179 (talk) 22:51, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

It is fun. :) But mind the sign on top warning against the use of talk pages to talk about the subject, which you seem to be doing (unless you're a game critic or something; if so, write a review).

[edit] Let's Talk About Summarizing

Allrighty, well, I just did a big clean-up of the article, and I noticed some things I want to point out to the more regular editors of this article. Well, one thing. Let me get straight to the point: details are good in some cases, but very, very rarely in Wikipedia articles. Articles on Wikipedia are to be brief and to the point. They are to summarize, not get in-depth. So I'd like to talk about two particular problem areas in this article where too many specific details seem to crop up a lot.

First, the plot summary area. I think the plot summary is pretty good. For a long time, DragonFable didn't even have a plot summary, and that was ridiculous! The article needs a plot summary. HOWEVER (and this is very important, so please keep reading), the article needs a plot summary. Not a full-length explanation of the plot- a very, very short summary of the plot. Again, our goal is to quickly explain the main gist of the whole thing, without getting too into it. If that's unclear, let me be explicit- naming specific monsters and quest items is 'too into it'. Talking about NPCs who are seen, like, twice and don't actually matter any other time is 'too into it'. Read the MechQuest and DragonFable summaries; you notice how there's barely anything said there? Do NOT describe specific quests, just talk about the underlying story.

The second problem area is the special events area. While one could argue why a special events section needs to be there at all (I've often contemplated that on the DF article), we aren't going into it. The facts are that there's a special events section and there's stuff in it. So what you need to remember is, again, no specifics. Don't describe the quests or NPCs or rewards from events. Say what the event is, what real-world event it's like (if any), and what (if anything) makes it important. If nothing makes it significant, then add it to the bottom section I just added today, because while it's an event, it doesn't actually mean much. So Easter goes on the bottom, because it's just another event, whereas April Fool's Day stays on the top because it's significant- every year, special game-wide changes take place, etc.

So... I hope this helps. To summarize (heh) what I'm trying to say, just shy away from specifics. If you find yourself writing the name of a monster, stop and go "wait, no, that's too much information" and take it out. If you find yourself writing about a specific quest, stop and go "wait, no, too much information" and replace it with a short summary instead. OK? --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 04:10, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Indeed, If you want to add an event like something like Cinco de Mayo (which is a relatively small event) Then add the name to the already small events that we have. Please don't say every detail regarding it.

[edit] Additional Pages

Hey, my name is Jakkinx, and I'm relatively new to Wikipedia, but I've been playing AQW since the release, and I think this pages is really good, not much cleaning up or anything to do, but I did a bit of fine tuning editing work on the Golden Onslaught part, made it look a bit more professional, also, don't you all think we should mention the difference between the 2008 and 2009 mogloween events, because 2009 has some stuff that's way different than 2008? cuz i mean, u don't just do quests for the witch sisters this year, you also work for safiria, and go to the mogloween graveyard. i think we should also do that for all the other holdiay stuff, and keep a close eye on the little details and mess ups of each others work, and finally, can we try and make some separate pages for the major bosses and NPCs in AQW, or at the absolute VERY LEAST make a character list? all the other games (except Warp Force) have them, so it would we a good idea to get one out there. I tried to make a page on the Thriller boss, but it got speedy deleted cuz of lack of importance or something, anyway, please contact me on my user page and tell me what you think, i hope to see you all in the game!
