Move

I will start taking the necessary steps to move the wiki now. Anything changed after the timestamp of this post (see my signature below) may not be transferred to the new site, so please wait with any edits you might want to make until this announcement is gone.

Thanks!

Last days of the EL-Wiki

Here's the deal, I don't play EL. I don't read this wiki, I don't read the forum associated with the wiki. I had some folks volunteer to handle the administration for this site, and they all were given rights as best I could find the time to do so. Unfortunately this site and the associated forums are accounting for 99% of my bandwidth usage. There is no incentive for me keeping this wiki existing except that Audhilde's father uses it from time to time.

For those in EL who have kept in touch with me, thank you, it means a good deal to me that you care about me as a person and not just a player. The rest of you, bugger off and don't come to me with any problems you have with my taking down this site.

Should someone want to move this wiki, I'm fine with that, just don't expect me to bend over backwards to accomplish it.

I will rescind this message should donations to help pay for my rising bandwidth costs (and yes, my provider has decided that I'm going to pay for the excess bandwidth) come from anyone but Audhilde's father.

Discuss this.

Welcome

Welcome to the Eternal Lands Wiki, the wiki for the MMORPG Eternal Lands. Started by the Fellowship of the Celtic Woods.

UNOFFICIAL?! Don't post in channels 1-20

Note:

  • This Wiki is not officially sponsored, supported, or sanctioned by the Eternal Lands or any of their staff.
  • Links can not be posted in the officially moderated channels of the Eternal Lands (channels 1-20)

Posting in official channels can have several repercussions:

  1. You could get muted
  2. You could get DC in hot water
  3. DC could get fed up, as his friends among the moderator staff continue to complain, and decide that begging their forgiveness isn't worth it.

How to pass wiki information on

Send a series of private messages:

  • First - What I am about to send you can not be posted in channels 1 - 20.
  • Second - the link.

See Official Channel Rules.

Index

Announcements

Read Before Posting

  • You need an account with the wiki to edit pages, the link in the upper right corner lets you create an account.
  • To get your account activated you can either email DragonCairn[at]gmail[dot]com or contact a user with bureaucrat rights.
  • Please make sure to read the editing help before making your first contributions to the wiki.
  • The most important thing for a wiki are cross-links between pages. If there is no link to a page, it doesn't exist, so remember to add cross-links to all relevant pages.
  • If you want to add information about a secret please read the editing help on how to handle secrets carefully!
  • To add secret information you will need a forum account as stated in How to Handle Secrets:

Forum Access

  • Without forum access, secret and other information is blocked to a user.
  • To get forum access you must create an account on the wiki and the forum with the same name as you use in Eternal Lands and contact DragonCairn by emailing him @gmail.com. DragonCairn[at]gmail[dot]com

In fact your account here probably won't get activated without an email to DragonCairn[at]gmail[dot]com - but that's just a guess.

Request for Admins

Wanted: People interested in doing administrative duties on the wiki. Payment - a sense of accomplishing something for the public good. Contact DC via email.

Duties include: Verifying that the name registered is a true player of Eternal Lands (http://game.eternal-lands.com/view_user.php?user=<USERNAME>) then setting up the privileges (non-el if not an existing character, editor if an existing character).

A Bot in the Spirit of Fellowship

  • Do you have an idea for what features you think a bot should have?
  • Are you willing to write code to create a bot?

If either question is yes, and you have a forum account then please send DragonCairn a forum PM expressing your interest in taking part in such a project. You will then be granted access to the BOT section of the forum.
