Vandalism?

There was an IP user who deleted most of the page. Should someone stop him?

We'redoing that, is it still deleted?

Here's how can you undo the changes for yourself. Click on "history", then click on the date of last previous version, it'll open it with a warning of not being the newst version. Click on "edit", don't change anything, add sumary (rv blanking) and save it. -- (☺drini♫|☎) 00:29, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

I just reverted vandalism to the previous version. Mysticaloctopus 22:25, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Dragonfable, its own page

Evildoctorbluetooth 15:09, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

battleon/adventure quest has its own page, with artix entertainment as the producer, is it not correct to introduce dragonfable its own page, i imagine that it is the game the designers dreamed of making, but due to the limiting nature of AQ were not able to, i can see it becoming a popular game, therefore requiring its own page.

what do you think, do we give it one?? Evildoctorbluetooth 15:09, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Just so everyone know, DragonFable is being considered for deletion again. Anybody interested should add their view on that page. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 16:35, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

It was deleted again. I do believe that it is decently size, and it deserves it's own article. The problem with it was the extreme vandalism to it. People were using it as a type of message system, and it looked very un-proffesional when someone would write "we are wining the war against the ice guy. were almost at 90% :)". It should have been locked to editing. -- DePottey 19:00, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes DF is large enough that it needs its own page now.. Lego3400: The Sage of Time 23:35, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry guys, but Dragonfable isn't really that big compared to other games. Maybe wait another year. Emperor_Jackal

How about now? We have 3 towns (Same as AQ) and had about 5 wars? Lego3400: The Sage of Time 21:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

For its repeated failures, making a DragonFable page has been protected, and you must contact an admin in order to recreate a page for it. With this in mind, I suggest that if you should want to remake the DF page on Wikipedia, then the best way would be to write up an interesting, informative, non-bias, and professional looking article to achieve the best results. An article like that would certainly convince an admin to allow it to be made. However, anything that is spammy, fancrufty, or overall uninformative would only increase an admin's trust in protecting a DF page from being made. SnufStyle420 22:03, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Writing an article that meets SnufStyle420's criteria is indeed the best course at this point. It is important that notability of the game be established as well as the previous deletions have largely been concerned with the relative non-notability of DragonFable in relation to other Games. It definitely seems to have a good page count on google and Alexa now so if written well and argued correctly can be quite effective. You will then either need to request an administrator unprotect the page or post a deletion review arguing from the presepective of new information, rather then any out of process problems. This tendency of late to indefinitely or infinitely protect pages after multiple recreations seems pretty antithetical to Wikipedia policy to me but it can be worked within. I had to do much this sort of thing a year ago with the article on Leeroy Jenkins. If you require assistance let me know — Falerin^{<talk>,<contrib>} 07:40, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Inappropriate use of Opinion and potential Vandalism

There is a highly Inappropriate statement at the beginning of the article. It directly criticizes the game in an opinion manner. to people who play the game and enjoy it, this is highly offensive. It is the result of a fight between hones patrons of the game and fans of other online games, who notoriously enter forums dedicated for the use of said patrons and proceed to incite arguments by incessantly insulting the game. i am a goddamn moron. (not same person as above)not entirely correct there are many arguments over game fetures i personally am a fan of aq but with the addition of z-tokens i am disgusted by artix entertainment the programmers not taking the oppinions of the people who play the game is also a contributing factor

I do not see why you bothered to make this request when you promptly removed it yourself. On another note, this kind of vandalism is present on most game articles on Wikipedia. It is quite common unfortunately, as negative opinions are often expressed through Wikipedia. As you probably figured out already, there is a better way for this kind of content to be removed other than asking someone else to do it for you. The only reasons I believe that is supported to bring up the topic of others helping edit the article would be that of mass, necessary edits to benefit the page, or uncertain changes that need discussion as to its use for the article. Since you concluded earlier what kind of change was being called for, I believe it is obvious where this topic falls into. SnufStyle420 12:49, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

My primary reason for posting the request was in hopes that people would leave the edit be. last time i corrected a page, Namely the C++ page and the sample code in it, the change was deleted within a day, despite being entirely valid and fixing a peice of code that would not have opperated given the syntax that was presented. however, once i posted a request to maintain the change, it endured

Runescape is locked, why is this not

The Runescape article, now almost devoid of negtive critisism, is locked due to vandelism, while this artcle, which has half of it devoted to putting the game down and is constently being vandelised, is. Wikipedia isn't looking so non-biased from my angle..—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.192.188.142 (talk • contribs).

Quite frankly, this article does have a lot of vandalism, deletions, and complete wipe outs of the whole page at an almost weekly rate. I would be glad if the article was locked to avoid further acts of vandalism. However, semi-protection is regarded as a sort of last resort, in the case that vandalism is too hard to keep up with or blocked/banned users use multiple IP adresses or accounts to continue smearing a page to bypass the inability to edit pages. In my opinion, vandalism here is not to the point that it is difficult to keep up with. Blocking individual vandals and reverting edits is a much better option than restricting edits by anonymous individuals or newly signed up users. Should you truly wish that the page be semi-protected, you may request for it here. Now then, as for the page being not so non-bias, as far as I can tell, everything on this page is fact according to ingame content and information gathered from around the main site and forums. Should more of it come off as fact that shows a darker side, that only means that there are more facts shown here that seem darker than light. Should more facts be presented that put the article on a lighter note by noting lighter sides of the article, than perhaps this page might not come off as so negative to you. However, it remains that this issue is not in need of semi-protection in my opinion, for vandalism or otherwise. SnufStyle420 21:28, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

RuneScape is not locked! Neither is the Talk:RuneScape page. SupaSoldier 20:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

A little thing few people know about

Though many people don't know about it, there is a survey you can access, by trying to loggin so many times, that allows you, once completed, to access the game for the next 24 hours, regardless of servers being full. I will try to find the link so we can put it on the page for you guys. - Mystic Endevor

Thanks for the information. I am rewriting this article to clean up the fancruft. I have the link, and I will eventually add it at some stage of my rewrite. You may wish to create an account and contribute to Wikipedia; perhaps we could even collaborate on this article! --J.L.W.S. The Special One 13:41, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I also edited a few things, minor things, here and there. Nothing much, just a few corrections.

As for the reconstruction, I can always try to help(after I get my password), but I won't be very useful, having many other things to do. Is there a section on the Battleon Forums?

I see. When you get your password, log into your account and post on this talk page. You could also get another account (but remember the password this time). We will then discuss the reconstruction of this article. While there is no section on the BattleOn Forums, I will consider writing a section about the forums during my rewrite. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 14:07, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

When you write the section about the Batleon Foums, I can definitly help you with that, being a 'forumite' myself.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.121.153.51 (talk • contribs) 09:13, 20 September 2006(UTC).

Recruiting help from the Artix Entertainment forums might be helpful, but please remember to specify that we only want helpful and useful edits. Since one of your goals is to get rid of the fancruft on the page, it would be very disturbing to see this backfire and have more and more people come to try and help by adding in nonsense. As for the reconstruction so far, I am targeting on the NPC section next for clean up. Personally, I don't think it should even be there, but as long as there is "fancruft" and the people who make it, that section will probably stay up, so a little snipping will help trim it down to a size more suitable. SnufStyle420 19:21, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, i'm here to help a little. Tell me what I need to do. Just a thought: Maybe, instead of putting a section about the forums, we could make a page about the forums and link it to the battleon page so it doesn't slutter it up? What do you guys think?MysticEndevor

Welcome to Wikipedia, MysticEndevor! If you need any help while editing Wikipedia, please feel free to drop me a line or ask at the New contributors' help page. Although we welcome your contributions, as SnuffStyle420 pointed out, please keep your contributions free of fancruft, and learn to write in an encyclopediac manner. Please do not create an article about the forums, because they do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines and such an article would probably be deleted. I think we should use this talk page to discuss how to improve the article and keep it cruft-free. SnuffStyle420, would you like to collaborate with me and MysticEndevor on this article? --J.L.W.S. The Special One 10:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for such a warm welcome. I'm glad to meet you both, J.L.W.S The Special One and SnuffStyle420. You guys can call me Mystic if you wish. Though not completly such what fancruft is, I have a general idea of what it is. As for the forums, I guess a section is all that's needed. A page, most likely, would be too much for such an article. And I assume that an encyclopediac manner would be non-biased informative writing? I think I can accomplish that. In the forums section we must remember to include each main category such as Lagends and Lore, Community, and Game Talk(Adventure Quest, DragonFable, ArchKnight, and Minigames). Though, We don't really need a full discussion on each, right? I think this is a perfect place to discuss editing the page. Maybe we could create something of a 'council' or something of the sort to keep track of who is helping and what they intend to do. *MysticEndevor*

I think a section about the forums would be adequate. Fancruft is information that would be useful only to fans, and not to those who are unfamiliar with AdventureQuest and simply wish to learn more about the game. Encyclopediac writing is difficult to define, and writing in an encyclopediac manner requires practice and a good command of English. I suggest you read some featured articles to get an idea of encyclopediac writing. Some tips for encyclopediac writing: stay fancruft-free, unbiased, formal and concise. I hope you enjoy being a Wikipedian and we can become Wikifriends! --J.L.W.S. The Special One 14:13, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

As do I! I hope we do well with this page! I also made a few edits.MysticEndevor 17:35, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

First things first, it's only one "f". Second things second, I don't see much rush for a section about the forums. The community is filled with a very biased group, whom most of which are in need of a dictionary or spell check system in an obvious manner. As noted in the thread Hildanknight made, the extreme majority of people who play are 13 to 17 years old. Not to discriminate against younger people, but this age average helps to explain the content of a vast portion there. In short, I fail to invision an interesting section written about the forums or the community. Third things third, I don't think there is much need for a link to the forums, as there is one right on the AQ homepage linked from here, until this section about the community is created. The external links should be more so for people to find out more about what they are reading, rather than just link spam like I've had to take out a few times. I don't even think that "LORE" link has barely enough credibility to stay there. Fourth things fourth, I believe the Z-Tokens section needs some attention as well. It crunches out numbers too much, and makes it seem like it was copied straight from the page you pay for them at. Maybe it could be turned into a general section about what people can pay for and what they get, leaving out all the specifics about what you get for how much money on different levels. I believe that is all for now. Contact me should you have any comments or suggestions for me. SnufStyle420 18:46, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure exactly what kind of biasedness you mean. Would you elaborate a little more, please? Still, everyone has some biased in them about something. However, wether or not they show it is another story. Most people on the forums do show high biased tendancies, but it should not be a complete relction on the forums itself. If you cannot invision a quality section about the forums, let me handle it and we'll see what I can come up with. If it is disagreeable, I will change it. If it is completely useless, I will discard it. And, you're right, the link was not needed, but if it's because there is a link on the AQ home page, I can show you three links on the same page that link to DragonFable. So should you take that off too? As for the Z-Tokens, I too think it should be general information and not needless details.--MysticEndevor 20:22, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

There, I polished up the Z-Token section a bit. What do you think? I don't think Zorbak needs that much information. He is, afterall, only a minor charactor used mainly for comic relief.--MysticEndevor 20:30, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Quite frankly, the majority of the people on the AQ forums are Guardians. This, unfortunately, fills most of the place up with bias posts against free players, posts asking and begging for bigger and better stuff no matter what was developed previously, and an overall sense that since they paid that they have every priority over free members in every category, not just matters relating to AQ. Now, not all Guardians are like this, which is a good thing, however more of those people should express their opinions for an open air group to be formed rather than a stereotype that keeps on repeating along each and every post count. As for the DF link, I would rather much remove it, but since there is still a section about DF on this page, it should probably be left. Once a section about the community or forums is made, then I believe it would be helpful to make a link to them. See above. And yes, I saw your edit. It did clean up the section quite a bit. However, I feel that having a section for Z-Tokens puts too much spotlight on it. It's just like making a section about Gold and what players can buy with it or what mosnters drop how much. Perhaps if it was just turned into a more general section about all in game benefits through payment, then it would be a more useful area. SnufStyle420 03:37, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, I have tried to make things more even on the forums and In game (though staff never listens to me) and if you want i'll try and do the same thing here. I have done thing rangeing from suggestions to Posts on the KoO boards. I feel that guardians like myself should be careing and help adventuers as much as possible. i mean we were them once right?Lego3400: The Sage of Time 16:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunatly, I won't be helping much, afterall, with this board or any other. I'm sorry, but I have to focus my attention to else things in life. I hope you all do well. MysticEndevor

I do beleive that a section should be put in about lore, because it is the entire concept that AQ revolves around. it is really the history of the AQ world and often decides on future events based on past events,also hinted at by the aq staff are answers to questions frequently brought about on the forums. as for a section on the forums, since it is not entirely about adventure quest, should be put somewhere else, mabey the artix entertainment article. If anyone decides to put in something on lore,(it could possibly be extensive,because of its nature)they should contact falerin, the main ... person on knowledge from/about lore. you could contact him on the forums,throug e-mail or PM. i hope this is taken into consideration.Relyks 22:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)-Relyks

Why is...

X-Guardianship being put in controversy and criticism? I know it can simply be moved but something is not right here. 211.29.164.148 12:04, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

To put it simply, because it is a very controversial deal. If you read carefully, you will see that there is very little gained from that feature. Also, should you read the beginning paragraph in the section, it states that Guardians still have to pay for it, dispite being told they would have access to everything put in for players. It has been critisized many times by players for its lack of useful features and restriction on paying players without it. Players paying real money for very little and argueably useless features while adding in stuff that paying players cannot access even though they paid for access to everything sounds pretty controversial. You are right though, it could be simply moved, but it is displayed there for the purposes stated above. We are currently working on expanding the Z-Tokens section to cover everything gained from paying AQ, but until then, X-Guardianship will be only mentioned where it is at right now. SnufStyle420 16:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

But that's beside's the point. Re-listing the features is redundent and pointless. List the criticism, not the same thing stated a page-view above about the upgrade. --24.239.66.162 04:16, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm currently re-writing the article, and I will eventually add a section about Guardianship. The Guardianship section will have sections about X-Guardianship and Z-Tokens, while information about the controversy surrounding them will remain in the Criticism section. I encourage you to sign up for Wikipedia and help me improve the article (but please don't add more fancruft!). --J.L.W.S. The Special One 09:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I edited some grammer at the end of the article. I did not realize there was so much controversy around this article. I'm still trying to get used to Wiki but I'm glad I was able to find the small error. --Trogam 06:21, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

X-Guardianship isn't just an extra $5 added to your purchase for some useless features. Think of it as a small reward for supporting the game a bit more than just buying Guardianship. (No, I'm not just defending my status's title, just because my character in the game is an X-Guardian. 71.164.253.253 (talk) 05:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Statistics on Guardianship/X-Guardianship?

Has Artix ever released statistics on this matter? It would be interesting to see of how many players are actually Guardians and it could provide evidence for the statement that many see the original as a "free demo." Taylor 06:52, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

There have been multiple times over the years that AQ staff and moderators have seen questions partaining to the server cap and why Guardians logged in are counted towards that. In every one of them, the make mention that about 80-90% of the players logged in at any given time are free accounts. The staff also encourages creating another account when free accounts are used up with free logins. Given this information, it would be very hard to get exact data on free accounts/users/Guardian accounts. Given that any person could have used over 100 accounts by themselves just trying to play the game freely could adjust any statistic over time as data is collected. It can also be hard to get pure results as the 80-90% of free users logged in could haver a different view. However, the general expression held by free players on AQ's own forums and surrounding online RPG's and other online communities is constant with the current revision on this page. Should you wish to find evidence that contrasts the statement, by all means, go ahead. But, I think the only stats you will find will back up everything in the article as it stands. SnufStyle420 16:01, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I beleive the staff do a cleanup on accounts once or twice a year. I do not know the last date of cleanup,however, and hope to pursue the matter further.~Rel

Removal of two sections - justified?

On 5 January 2007, Pokemaster5 removed the History and Trivia sections from the article. Why were the sections removed? Was their removal justified? If it wasn't, could someone restore them? --J.L.W.S. The Special One 11:02, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I took care of it! :^) SupaSoldier 21:08, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I took the liberty of removing some random vandalism on the trivia section about how artix entertainment was located on lake florida or something... SearingSeer 22:20, 12 March 2007 (EST)

That wasn't vandalism, it was just phrased incorectly. From The Artix Entertainment article: "Artix Entertainment, LLC is a game development company that specializes in creating online browser-based computer role-playing games written for Macromedia Flash. The company was founded by Adam Bohn and Tony Deller, and is based in Land O' Lakes, Florida, in the United States." If that was put in, it was probably stating that artix entertainment is based in Land o' Lakes florida. If so, it may be anption to include that in the article. ~Rel

??

Because of the server cap, it can be difficult for free players to log in, especially because the server limit may that Z-Tokens are available to Adventurers.

Could someone clear this up???

I've no idea what they're trying to say with the z-token things

Some anonymous vandal blanked several sections. I've restored them. Thanks for pointing that out. By the way, I suggest you create an account; in future, if you spot vandalism, you can check the article history and revert it yourself. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 13:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

dragonfable refering to battleon

im afraid im not happy with dragonfable refering to adventure quest. i believe it would be better if it refered to artix entertainment. Evildoctorbluetooth 16:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree, but other than AdventureQuest there is just a Artix Entertainment article.

Kinda torn knowing if this was legit or not. Since I know nothing about this game, I'll leave to a more experianced editor with knowledge as to whether the blanked sections belong here or not. BuickCenturyDriver (Honk, contribs, odometer) 02:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't think one neccesarily think all those critiques are opinionated. Only so much could be done for Adventure Quest since its done in flash. Fans and critics alike can agree that those things are true. Fans play the game on the grounds that they don't mind the shortcomings, and want to play. Wikipedia is ment to be factual, and many of these things are facts, you can't accomplish certain things on the engine. If someone needs to decide whether they want to start playing the game, they need an unbiased source. They obviously won't find that on Adventure Quest forums or by simply searching the net.

What is with the jab against RuneScape? Even though I agree that they both lack content, Wikipedia isn't the place for thinly veiled attacks against something in a topic that is only vaguely related. It should be removed as soon as possible. 66.189.177.75 04:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I replaced it. If you need citations, fine, I'll work some up in a bit, but don't remove a notable section like that. -Chao9999 18:33, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Small error I found in the combat section of the article

"On its turn, a character may attack with its weapon, cast a spell, drink a potion, use items, or try to escape. Before performing any of these activities, a player may change their character's weapon, shield, armor and pet." This is what the article states now but it should say:

On its turn, a character may attack with its weapon, cast a spell, drink a potion, use items, summon a pet or try to escape. Before performing any of these activities, a player may change their character's weapon, shield, or armor.

Is this article still being updated? I am willing to help out with this article but because I just registered with wikipedia I can't edit this article. I have a level 102 guardian and have been playing since May '04 so I have a lot experience with the game and can get screenshots if needed.

Any time you change your pet it counts as your turn though you can set your current pet to either attack or stay back through the options tab underneath the XP bar. You can also hide your pet from the pet menu without using up your turn.

• Consider adding more links to the article; per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and Wikipedia:Build the web, create links to relevant articles.^[?]
• Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.^[?]
• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), avoid capitalizing words in section headings unless they are proper nouns or the first word of the heading.^[?]
• Generally, trivia sections are looked down upon; please either remove the trivia section or incorporate any important facts into the rest of the article.^[?]
• Please reorder/rename the last few sections to follow guidelines at Wikipedia:Guide to layout.^[?]
• Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: armor (A) (British: armour), armour (B) (American: armor), defense (A) (British: defence), criticize (A) (British: criticise), criticise (B) (American: criticize).
• Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
  • While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 18 additive terms, a bit too much.
  • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”

Haw?

Yeah, I'm playing in this war on Adventure Quest and I was wondering I know the wars are connected to other players, but the word IRC means to be able to chat with them yes? If so then how do I chat with other players while killing monsters? Is there some sort of in game chat or something? Bassium!

While this isn't the proper place for it i'll tell. Get an IRC chat program (EX mIRC) and connect to irc.caelestia.net. Alternativly you can vist via AQStats, they have a web client that takes you right to the chat rooms.

Woefully inadequate documentation

While wikipedia may not be a place to document all minutae and trivia the documentation at this point is woefully inadequate. The detail given to game storyline is nonexistant. Considering the fact that the current evolving series of storylines have written over 3 years and tie together all previous events according to the developers this seems odd. The'Galin is not even mentioned once in this article. Nor the new continent or any other game expansion. 71.230.115.25 01:31, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

OHHH! We have sooooo much work to do

First of all what the guy above said, second of all we have alot of work to do. The Aq Article lacks an incredible amount of information, and many of the complaints and other information is out dated. (Adam does look at this page you know!) Anyway let's get moving!

I'll be here to back you up even though I'm really busy studying for finals, I'll do what I can :D Oh and remember to sign your posts using ~~~~ :P. RyuuTaichou 04:13, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reminding me, I may know what I'm doing, but I'm still unsure of the rules ;)

We could really use a better opening pic...

I feel that we need a better pic for the opening. I mean, said pictures has Twilly, a few of the NPCs, and a Dragon. Nothing more.

I don't know where we could find a better one, but I think we should be on the lookout for a better picture. Jump! Slash! Dash! Ouch! Super Mario SonicBOOM! 16:14, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

There was a good one uploaded at one time but I thought it was deleted because of its description...? RyuuTaichou 17:34, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll re upload it.

This page isn't for in game stuff. It's for the article itself. Try the Offical AQ Forums. Jump! Slash! Dash! Ouch! Super Mario SonicBOOM! 14:15, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

It's not just for classes you know. And there's already a small mention. No big, but something. Dude902 23:58, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Editing of Talk Page

Fair use rationale for Image:Void.PNG

Image:Void.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Alright...I get it, but...

I get it, some people just want other things on the page...but can you atleast not change MY map? I am ZAX, creator of the "complete" map of Lore. This is my thread on the AdventureQuest forums. http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=11890535&mpage=1&key=

The map I updated the page with is the PROPER map, with the PROPER edits and a map key. It belongs here. I have also made the map on the page at the current time as well. As creator of this image, is it not my right to place my own work on the page, especially when it is an improvement? Either way, I have re-updated the image with the current map. If you need confirmation of its accuracy, view the posts of the game's head storyline developer in my thread, as well as the post on the area I cut off by Mod Maxwell.

Lesser Known Element

Hey guys. In the elements section it fails to mention another element called Death (the element PowerWord Die uses). I'd add this myself, but I'm a newly registered user so I can't.Doklim (talk) 03:46, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I've removed a sentence

I've just removed the following sentence:

While the game is being updated regularly and is played by thousands of people, some people still feel the need to criticize the game.

It seemed biased and was simply unnecessary.

Glitched edit button?

I attempted to edit the "Newest additions to the game" stub, but it took me to edit the "criticism" stub. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance! 71.164.253.253 (talk) 16:17, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Fixed up some mistakes

Just decided to fix up certain parts of the article. Most of these were minor, but some COULD throw someone off if they haven't played the game before. One such example was at the elements part. The article said that it "Always" followed the weakness pattern. This could fool a person who hasn't played the game before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.237.96.168 (talk) 19:24, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

The map gone again?

Why was the map removed? It was more or less an accurate representation of Lore.
