Revision as of 21:15, 28 September 2008
To answer your questions from Talk:ACC Wiki Home:
AC Creatures on Spore?
- 1. Could some of us design creatures from Asheron's Call onto Spore, and upload them to the Sporepedia?
- This isn't a turbine site, so this isn't the place to ask for permission to recreate their creations.
- 2. Then could we have an article or two about creatures from Asheron's Call appearing on Spore?
- No. Its off topic. It isn't information relating to Asheron's call.
How's the game doing today?
- This is a question for the offical forums.
Also, talk pages are only for discussing things to change about that page. The Talk:ACC wiki home is not a general discussion board. Our message board system here is not functional due to spam bots, but the offical turbine forums are the best place for AC discussions anyway because they receive the most traffic.
