Welcome Edit

Hi, welcome to Asheron's Call Community Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Wedding of Borelean and Hoshino page.

If you prefer the old appearance of the wiki before our move to Wikia, you can set your skin preference to Monobook and uncheck the admin override box here.

Please leave a message on an admin's talk page if we can help with anything!

Re: Emulator Status on Individual Quest Pages Edit

Thanks for the message.

This is not the kind of information to put on the wiki. I mentioned this on the updated Asheron's Call Community Wiki:About and Asheron's Call Community Wiki:Content Guidelines: This wiki is not intended to be a guide for any emulation projects, past or present.

There are a number of reasons for this:

The wiki should be an accurate record of content at the end of retail, so it can be a source for those looking to recreate content. We do not want to pollute it with emulator data that may be inaccurate.
Someone would need to keep content status up-to-date as emulator projects update. Since that is a lot of work, inevitably, the content status info will be out of date.
Content status can vary between ACE and GDLE.
Server admins can and do customize content, e.g. two servers both running ACE can be customized, or simply be running different versions of the server.

If you want to have an easy to reference page on the wiki for emulator status, you are free to create sub-pages within your own user space. For example, you could create User:Darktorizo/ACE Quest Status and User:Darktorizo/GDLE Quest Status and maintain those pages. This creates an easy to reference article, but distinguishes it from the wiki's historical record that is the main namespace.
