Re: Dagger of Tikola Quest Edit

My Apologies for making a change to reflect how this quest was now. I will refrain from doing so in the future.

I changed the color schemes on the skill pages, they were unreadable before. If you would prefer different colors that's fine by me. I figured it was most important to be able to see the text :D --Immortalbob (talk) 13:58, October 29, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Wiki Questions Edit

Hey there, thanks for the detailed reply! I was able to chat with Bob briefly in Discord as well, so I think I am fully up-to-date on the status of the wiki. The reddit discussions you linked were exactly the type of information I was looking for.

I was fairly active on acpedia.org making edits back in 2013-2014. Looking at my contribution list, I have been able to verify that they are pretty much all merged with the current wikia/fandom content. That is good because my main aim was always to contribute for the community. I'm in the process of getting back into the game, so any edits I make going forward will be on fandom. Although, I will most certainly be using acpedia.org for browsing/reading purposes.

My own story is actually fairly similar to the AC wiki. I was an admin on the Dragon Quest Wiki on wikia back in 2009-2010. In 2010, we decided to go independent due changes being forced by wikia. That is when I created dragon-quest.org and ported everything over. I still run the site today and am part of NIWA which is an organization to foster collaboration among independently hosted wikis. So I can identify with the challenges and decisions that you have had to make over the years. I still very much dislike wikia/fandom, but I admit that if I do get hit by a bus, the Dragon Quest wiki is probably in trouble. --Pagoda (talk) 01:59, July 28, 2019 (UTC)

Hi there!

Yes, I recreated all of the content for Neftet that was recently released to Coldeve and the Drunkenfell ACE servers. The content is also in the works for GDLE conversion. To answer your question, I studied the data for several months, watched numerous videos on several of the quests to jog my personal memory and meticulously re-created everything as perfect as humanly possible according to PCAP data. What changed was mostly quest rewards as Legendary Tokens were phased out, and several videos confirm the updated rewards.

They were outdated both here and acpedia. I also reflected these changes at acpedia. I hope this answers your question! Feel free to message in in Discord in the ACE channel under Drid#4917 in the contributor channel, or the LSD channel under content contributor. All of us in the AC community appreciate your diligence and efforts in maintaining these wiki's! Since the content is "fresh" again, I felt it deserved to be corrected as players will be coming here now that the content is available once more!

Regards, Drid

-== live events ==
+== Your Wiki Manager ==
-Thanks, and nice work with all your lore pages.
-Do you think it's worth having pages like [[Carraida's Avenger]] and [[Captain Burnja Attacks]] as event pages? They were both triggered events, but one is more like a quest and the second is so trivial it hardly seems worth even mentioning it. Some others were kinda weak events as well, like when the [[The Leviathan|Leviathan]] appeared. I was trying to get some sort of chronology with lore/events going. Would you do it any differently?

-also, what are your thoughts on consolidating the character NPC pages into a single page. For example, like [[Hoshino Kei (Unwed)]], [[Hoshino Kei (Wed)]] into [[Hoshino Kei (NPC]]. I already sort of did it with [[Bael'Zharon (Creature)]].

-They did appear broken at first, but when I did a null edit (edit and saved without changing anything), the images appeared correctly. Tlosk told me about this a while back, something to do with the cached version being displayed. It's documented here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Purge.
+Hi there!
-I've been trying to clear out all the duplicate images using this [http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/DupImageList script] I found. I saved the results of the script at [[ACCWiki:Duplicate Image List]]. I've cleared most larger images out now leaving pretty much just icons which are reused so many times it's not even worth trying to do.

-Hello,

-Sorry to bother you. As far as I can tell you were the last admin to log in here. :)

-My name is Chris L'Etoile, and At The Dawn Of The Internet, I worked on AC1 and AC2. Since then I've wandered through a few places - BioWare, ZeniMax Online, Waystone Games, and currently Wizards of the Coast.
+Thank you for your response An Adventurer. Also thank you for all that you do for the community.
-For the last five years, with devs getting death threats and culture warriors doxxing and swatting people who say things they don't like, I've become more cagey about posting personal information about myself or my family. So far as I tell, the AC wikia has one of only two identifiable photographs of me available online. Both were taken in 2001, at the ACPL or the afterparty for it. Yours is at: asheron.wikia.com/wiki/File:Chris_L'Etoile.jpg
-I would sincerely appreciate it if you'd consider taking this picture down. The time when I was okay being seen on the internet, and the time when it was safe to do so, are long since past.
-Thank you for your time, and I'm glad some people still love AC. :)
