Some of it might still be valid (or even fill in voids), but I imagine there is a lot of changes to - and this IS 2.0 we are playing, so naturally that should be the focus.Â
I can dig that, I just think things like map comparisons would be pretty cool even for people fresh with 2.0 the whole character looking over a vista and recalling when there used to be a river or somesuch.

Because at the end of the day, there's a lot of things that could be spoiled, but in order to explain something or involve somethings history (ie. garleans) you kind of have to spoil it. I think it would be a waste of time if we have to sit and hide individual things that are spoilers, might as well just let people know what to expect and be done with it.Â
Yeah a big cover would be nessicary for "spoilers ahead!" but what about with stuff thats based on content cleared? like Nael Van Darnus, do we want to just have his page filled out? or do we want to spoiler tag stuff like

That way you essentially just need to have one person validate that the screenshots are valid and not of someones cat.ÂI like that idea, save on effort I think..

I'm quite obviously not the best at spelling, and grammer, my ESL aside, so perhaps we could have a log of recently updated pages, and people practiced and proof reading could go over the edited sections once a month or somesuch? I'm not sure how best to organize that review system..

*ahem* So yeah, I'm a bit of a lore fan (addict) in any game I get associated with, just because I really like teasing out those little tidbits that story writers sometimes tuck away here and there. Â I would be more than happy to help contribute to something like this, however, since I've only been playing here for a couple of months, my experience with the world at large isn't near as broad as others. Â But I will say, one of the big things that has always fascinated me was the differences between the 1.0 and 2.0 versions. Â Especially since I obviously wasn't involved in the history of 1.0 myself, but since my character is older bit older than five, she was (even if she wasn't a Carteneau survivor.)
So I'd be more than happy to help out anyway I can, even with just the little snippets here and there I've run into and collected.
Hrm, have you taken a look at
