Introducing the BG-Wiki

Re: Introducing the BG-Wiki

It doesn't.

Which was what the "if it paid well" was for.


I've looked into this stuff before. If I wanted to RMT, I have a good idea of what game I'd play and how I'd do it.

Re: Introducing the BG-Wiki

What the hell is wrong with you people?

Why is this 8 pages in less than 12 hours? Why is there so much bitching? Talk about "Elitist flamers"... "I won't use the site because it's run by -blank- and they are idiots". Pot, kettle much? Bringing up the ffxiwiki scam doesn't help either.

A BG-Wiki was a long way coming. There has been many incidents with the wiki where they would put wrong information and refuse to change it even when proof is provided because a moderator has a gut feeling. What this did really is put the control in the hands of the people who found out all the hard formulas and actually understand a great amount of the game. It isn't one guy on Phoenix who may or may not be a great player, it's an entire community. And you don't have to be apart of that community to contribute to and enjoy the result.



Anyway, regarding grammar, there is a proofreading tag which means someone will come in and fix my mistakes for me.

Guides are opinion. When you click on a guide, you are exposing yourself to someone's opinion.

Additionally, expect to see that timeline double in size today. And that's just 1/3 of it's information. (And the stuff on that page isn't on History of Vana'diel. I usually search everywhere for information, and this is new stuff to english audiences, trust me on it).


DOWN WITH "THE SPOILERS OF VANA'DIEL"! GO GO http://wiki.bluegartrls.com/History !

Okay, just one more for good measure:

And no more, I promise.

It definitely wouldn't be FFXI, I can barely make enough gil to attend Limbus twice a week, let alone enough to sell for rent money!

You obviously don't know how boring working in Finance is.

And there were lolcats, so it's ok.

Re: Introducing the BG-Wiki

Oh and can a mod lock this please. I'll make another thread when the history page makes more progress.

Just a little fun: a thread wouldn't get this derailed on BG unless it was made to get derailed like a "Drama" thread. But a resource thread? Nope. Maybe you guys haven't been noticing it, but the quality of FFXIonline has been dropping quite a bit. I used to refer everyone new to these boards, but things have changed. You got Feba(and his circle of asskissers), who posts more than anyone and doesn't even play the god damn game and I can't recall the last time I've heard good advice given. Kaelia is like an abortion gone wrong and has somehow survived to live to this day, giving us her pay back of being picked on highschool(for being a weeaboo furry probably). Don't get me started on the few posters who refuse to acknowledge they are wrong and go around with this false aura of superiority and prejudice. For all the elitism BG is accused of, a new player would be probably get much more help from that website using the "Newbie Boards".

Let's have less shitfests and less hypocritical bashing of other websites. Maybe the quality can go up.

Re: Introducing the BG-Wiki

Who the hell posts a database site as a resource when it doesn't even have a page for Ronfaure?

Re: Introducing the BG-Wiki

Well the thread started off just fine, and someone came in and started the drama. That's all it takes, just one post. After the drama had passed and all was (relatively) all right with the world again, we commenced with the lulz.

True, it's a bit extreme, but if a message board isn't for information, flamebait, debate, making up, and lulz, then I don't know what it's for.

Re: Introducing the BG-Wiki

In all fairness, being a Wiki, it makes sense to announce it as soon as it's launched so all possible contributors can get to doing their contributing as early as possible.

Re: Introducing the BG-Wiki

If we could have a new thread with a "please don't post your retarded diatribe" rule, that'd be nifty.

But honestly, there isn't much to discuss at this point. We know the Wiki is up now, and if we wan to contribute (or use it) we can.

Re: Introducing the BG-Wiki

Needless to say I still find it funny many of the people who said they don't like BG in previous threads because things get derailed, helped derail this thread. AFK back to working on ninja guide and nm pages for bg wiki.

lock this one so you can start another one, and have peopel post in ot? how about no -.-

I will at least give BG-wiki a chance... but good god, finish more of the database core info, before making any more "announcements"

Feba is right about what was sold, it could have been handled better.....

it wasn't people are acting like FFXI-wiki has cooties, even I have acted out a bit -.-

Everyone grow up, and stop acting like children (self included)

another Wiki, honestly is pointless, we already have a better one with all updated into.

Exactly, but then he's not posting a thread on a resource, he's asking for help. And anyone asking for help to do something that's already been done should deal with the statements that come with that.

oooohhh pppffff if I had not started it, someone else would have.

Re: Introducing the BG-Wiki

God damn it people, only armando gets it.

YOU ANNOUNCE A WIKI WHEN IT LAUNCHES DUE TO THE FACT IT IS UPDATED BY THE COMMUNITY.


Whooooosh at anyone who says needs more info.

Re: Introducing the BG-Wiki

I know this post will probably get overlooked among the spam of useless argument threads, but...

Here is my opinion on why a new Wiki is a bad idea.

ffxiclopedia was a central location for everyone to be able to update. Now those updates are SPLIT. Now neither can be the single click resource, have to check TWO sites now.

One location to find something > Two.

DOES NOBODY ELSE SEE THIS AS A PROBLEM?
