This is great! We want to thank Kain (http://apps.facebook.com/guildmasters/Game/Profile.aspx?IdProfile=466) for being the first player contributing to build our wiki (http://www.otherwind.com/wiki/guildmasters/index.php/Main_Page) to help the whole community!

We hope he be the first of a volunteer of a great, active and helpful community of players, who share their knowledge of the game and share their experience.

:)¡

Here is his article: Master, Followers and Squads (http://www.otherwind.com/wiki/guildmasters/index.php/Master,_Followers_and_Squads)

It is a pleasure to help in the Wiki, I suggest all the forum members to take a look at it and help if they can. It´s easy and fun to share your knowledge there!!

Kind regards.

Also any member used to the wiki formatting, could make some templates for skills, mounts, monsters, quests... so we could fill them with our information, and players could add their experience with them.

Thanks Isildur and Beltrak :).

I have already started with the "ADVENTURE PARTY" section, so if anuone wants to help building the wiki, I suggest starting somewhere else to avoid having two people doing the same thing ;)

If anyone doesn't want to edit text, but he or she still wants to participate with his or her thoughts to the building of the wiki, they may use the talk pages of the wiki, linked with the page being built (in the discussion tab):
www.otherwind.com/wiki/guildmasters/index.php?title=Talk:Adventure_Party (http://www.otherwind.com/wiki/guildmasters/index.php?title=Talk:Adventure_Party)

Great! Kain uploaded two more sections to the wiki:



Adventure Party (http://www.otherwind.com/wiki/guildmasters/index.php/Adventure_Party)
Fights (http://www.otherwind.com/wiki/guildmasters/index.php/Fights)


However, they still need some format, proofreading and reviews. Feel free to create an account and help building the wiki!

You can also propose your edits at the discussion tab on every page.

I like it so much, Kain, but now you'll have to add the combat skills in the Fights. :P

Yep, but first I have to know how do they work... AND wait for devs to give a proper format to what is written. If format is undone, I will go on strike >:(

MARKETPLACE section complete. I was even able to place some screenshots, but the final result is not the best. I´d love someone could fix it to make the page more attractive...

I like so the Marketplace, Kain. The text with screenshots are more easy to read and understand.
Ah, Kain, thanks for you give publicity to*the sale of my Ceremonial Mace XD

Now I have Help. OK, got it... I won´t "touch" the "SKILLS" section. I think I will start with "EQUIPMENT" section next year... that means tomorrow! :P

HAPPY NEW YEAR for all the Devs and the forum members!!!

I have a new section built. But I kindly request that the name of the esction in the MAIN MENU will be changed to "Character and Equipment".

Here is the link: http://www.otherwind.com/wiki/guildmasters/index.php/Equipment

Hope you will like it.

Hi Kain

Thanks for your awesome job! There's already an entry called "Character" in main page's "menu":

http://www.otherwind.com/wiki/guildmasters/index.php/Character

Maybe we could mix the 2 articles, or perhaps re-organize that menu to get these 2 entries better connected... what do you think?

I don´t really mind, Isildur. Just want to help. If the text is useful, any member of the dev team can relocate it. If it is not, it can be sent to "discussion" tab or just deleted.

The only thing I want if the text is not fine, is just a tip of how to do it better. I´m just glad to help with this. Is like playing the game in other way :p

I edited your article and added a few links, just to clarify. It looks to me that current index in the main page is not specifically "screen-oriented", but just pretends covering certain topics regardless they are all in the same screen in the game or not. Your approach was more "screen-oriented", which is also fine, as it lets users know everything about each screen at a glance, but maybe that's well covered by inline help (those tooltips that appear everywhere), so maybe that's the reason why the wiki is not so screen-oriented. Alex or Fran will have to tell us a bit more about this :).

Anyway, your work is an unvaluable one, and wether it remains the same or it's sliced into a few different sections, the content will stay there. Maybe a native english speaker would like to proof read to correct any mistakes...

We uploaded the Game Credits to the wiki: www.otherwind.com/wiki/guildmasters/index.php/Game_Credits (http://www.otherwind.com/wiki/guildmasters/index.php/Game_Credits)

All backers from Kickstarter, who got a reward "Credits" or above, will find themselves in the list ordered by pledge. If anyone want to be removed from the list or change the name shown, email to us to let us to know.

Thank you
