Talk:Pre-Searing guide

Size
This guide is very long. If somebody feels like they can break it up into meaningful smaller pieces, by all means, do so. &mdash;Tanaric 18:02, 22 May 2005 (EST)


 * Yeah, I second that. I think when this guide was started no one had discussed preferring many smaller articles to one very large one. (My mistake, I thought the article was an old one that had been neglected, I didn't realise it had been moved in from somewhere else!) I think many of the topics covered here are really deserving of their own articles, and some might actually already have them. It seems this page has really been neglected recently. (likewise) I'll start making efforts to split it up. - LordBiro/Talk 21:17, 22 May 2005 (EST)


 * Yeah, I think character creation might serve us better split off from this main article, for one. Nice big read, though, lots of useful info. Gravewit


 * It would be very possible to put every quest as its own page, and then give them categories (pre-Searing Generic Quests, pre-Searing Skill (ProfessionName) Quests, and pre-Searing Primary Quests seem like good choices), and merely link to the category indices. If nobody does it by when I get back from work, I will. &mdash;Tanaric 16:42, 23 May 2005 (EST)


 * Feel free Tanaric, provided they still show up in the Quests and Skills more general categories as well of course ;) - LordBiro/Talk 03:41, 24 May 2005 (EST)

Article Title - Remove Spoiler and Prepare for Ch2
I know I'm anal about this, but is there ANY way we could call this something besides the Pre-Searing guide, given that first time players won't know what the Searing is? I'm not on a crusade to eliminate the word Searing from all non-spoiler-tagged locations, but this is intended for first time players! --JoDiamonds 02:28, 9 March 2006 (CST)
 * Actually, I've been thinking about this article recently for different reasons; but the end result would accomodate your request. I think that from the Main Page we should link to an article titled "Introductory guide" which contains some generic information; but which then is either broken into sections or has links to (and here's where we need the community to help on naming) "Introductory guide (Ch1)" and "Introductory guide (Ch2)".  I prefer the links over the single article; just because a single article would get large once we start adding Ch3, Ch4, etc. --Barek 01:03, 12 March 2006 (CST)


 * I had the same thought Barek. IMO this is really a Prophecies starting guide, as opposed to a Factions starting guide, or a general Guild Wars starting guide... Not sure what it should be called though. Since Guild Wars chapter 1 isn't really marketed as Guild Wars: Prophecies, calling this "Prophecies starting Guide" seems a little crude. Does anyone else have any thoughts? 01:22, 1 April 2006 (CST)


 * Pre-Academy guide. Why hasn't anyone thought about it? -- Akaraxle 18:11, 10 April 2006 (CET)
 * Sounds good to me. LordKestrel 20:40, 11 April 2006 (CDT)


 * "Academy" just doesn't seem important enough to me (and it sounds like the temple/monastery thing in Chapter 2 is, arguably, kind of like an academy, too). How about "Chapter 1 introductory guide"? --130.58 20:44, 11 April 2006 (CDT)


 * "So, you want to be a hero?" :) That would always be my suggestion. Knowing that no one else will agree to it, I would say "Prophecies starting guide" is fine. And it's not really a guide, it's a compilation of guides, so I would actually name it "Prophecies starting guides" --Karlos 21:14, 11 April 2006 (CDT)
