I'd like to and I see the appeal but I am of the firm belief that many role-players spend a bit too much time polishing their character profiles and not enough time actually getting out into the game world to pursue role-play or step outside of their comfort zones. This was very apparent in other MMO's with similar initiatives, I found - with WoW being a prominent example.

I love reading people's wiki. And updating my own when I can. I allows me to put tidbits about other characters that I otherwise can't either though RP or written stories. And it allows others to catch up on what the heck is going on with my own if they want to know.  I also have recent events and history under spoiler tags with a warning to the readers that those are for OOC information only. So far, I have been lucky in that regard that no one has abused what I put there. And because the recap of recent events tend to grow over time, I like it under the spoiler tag as well, nice and neat. I also like wiki for the opportunities to put art related to your character AND screenshots! That awesome Tiergan portrait! So going there! I know so many others with some great formatting and artwork on their pages and I get envious! I know some have put music on their wikis too.  I should, I just haven't gotten around to it. Lastly, for those who are intimidated by wiki coding, I first put together my page just cutting and pasting someone's basic page format and inserting text and pictures into it. Then I got page envy and bugged Gharen to help me. Which he generously did. ^_^ Tumblr IC Journal and Inspirations Roen Deneith | Nabi Kharlu | Brynnalia Callae

Somewhat. I tend to keep it a little behind the times, because it completely eliminates the possibility of someone metagaming with current events in my character's life. Yeah. That sounds much better than "I'm too lazy, sometimes, to update it."

I don't understand how to make it look decent like some folks or even close to awesome, like others. The template is nice but I don't understand formatting stuff to make it a workable page. So I tend to neglect it as a result. This is me as well *laughs*. I do update the wiki with the scenes my characters play, though. If I don't forget. Clover Blake (Hyur) / K'mih Yohko (Miqo'te)

Hnnngh I decided to stop being lazy and start the update at last. Images first, then updates to the text! I think I'll procrastinate a bit more on the friends section, that always takes a lot of time... Edit: YOSSSSSSS. Small update, but it'll do for now! Berrod Armstrong's Wiki

But there's a warm, not-self-serving happy feeling that comes from having left a mark enough on someone for them to contribute. That's still probably falling under ego. Damn.

I find it more like it's a "thumbs up" from people not only just RPing with you, but just happened to be in the general vicinity that liked your RP. ... which probably still qualifies as ego, doesn't it? @_@ Oscare Iono (Directory) Oscare Iono (Wiki WILL BE UPDATED EVENTUALLY) "Critical fails; for when the GM sobs at night and the players get free checks."

It's a bit of ego and a bit of interest in how other people's characters perceive him.  More the latter than the former, I enjoy seeing how the minds of other characters work. A lot of the time I just end up going "HNGH MUST ROLEPLAY WITH THIS PERSON MORE. SO FANTASTIC." Berrod Armstrong's Wiki
