Talk:Game updates/20051221

Where should I make note that the avatar of the gods for this update are only level 24 and not the usual lv30? Didn't feel right to put that note in the page for the avatars. -PanSola 03:33, 27 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Same place you make mention of them. I would suggest in the snowball fight page. Or wherever you mention Joy and Vehemus and the rest of the Christmas NPCs. --Karlos 04:27, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Aren't the Snowman henchs available in all three big cities referring to feature 7?

Any specific reason our GuildWiki Notes are in past tense? As far as I know, these things are still around. &mdash;Tanaric 10:10, 27 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Is it worth writing in present tense to change it to past afterwards? --Fyren 15:00, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

a vote for a separate Wintersday 2005 article
Since not all the updates for this event was added on Dec 21, I find it better to just put the entire Guild Wiki notes section of the current article as an independent Wintersday 2005 article. We gave the halloween event its own article right? -PanSola 21:33, 31 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I tend to agree with you, but the Halloween event actually doesn't have it's own article. :) It is covered in Mad King Thorn, which is an article about that character. Unfortunately the Wintersday update doesn't feature a similar character... --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 21:40, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Blah my mistake about the precedent -PanSola 21:47, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * If there's not a Halloween article, there probably should be. It'd be an appropriate place to link everything else off of. So do one up for Wintersday 2005, no sweat. --Nunix 02:17, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm wondering if links of descriptions of Presents and Wintersday Gifts should be added, thus explaining their difference. Maestro Acheron 22:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

So far two votes for a separate article for each special event, none against (84-175 merely pointed out holloween did not have a separate article, with no explicit vote either way). I'd like to have a lead of 3 votes before committing the action, will continue to collect votes til January 7th. -PanSola 18:30, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

If somebody wants to do the work of creating a separate article, it's fine by me. But by the time we've finished this vote Wintersdays 2005 is probably already over. Why put much work into something that's history? Just for documentation purpose? I'd rather see our contributors put their energy into more important tasks. -- 04:15, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Less work would've been wasted if some pages weren't deleted (ahem) but just got changed into redirects, so the history could be salvaged. Anyways, it's not much work to move the "GuildWiki notes" to a different article, and then it's just slightly more work to format it better (by type), IMHO.  And we would be establishing a sustainable precedent for future special events in case features were added over multiple update.  Having one "hub" page makes it easy to see at a glance all the stuff added, providing descriptions that a simple listing "Category:Event 200x" would not have.  -PanSola 05:54, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Current vote talley: 2 for; 1 "tend to agree"; 1 "if someone is doing the work, fine"; and 0 against. Waiting til tomorrow night (PST) to do changes or for massive people to speak up against the action.


 * Huh? I thought I posted here already, must be early senility settling in. I agree with the idea of making individual articles for the two holiday events.  --Rainith 12:09, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
