Hum hum, let's discuss what to add

[edit] classes

i removed all the class information, its a simple copy paste from the turbine website, that isn't the way it works on wikipedia. Boneyard 09:35, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I added a generic description of each class that should be slightly less plaguristic in nature. Dabigdeez 14:27, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey this is Forodmegil from the forums, someone needs to edit the official release date in the top,it says 2006 but it has been set back to spring 2007.

About Closed Beta.. next to the release date I saw (citation needed). Not quite sure what that means, I checked on Wikipedia, can't find anything of use. In any case, this page from the official site states it began on the 8th, not 12th, of september. So I took the liberty of editing that and removing the (citation needed) tag.

I've also edited the Facts section a bit. I've clarified what MP is about and changed the Player crafting will take precedence over the elite raiding of boss-type monsters in the acquisition of high-end character equipment. part, because it was a false statement. Incase someone needs a citation, check this forum post, by one of the Developers.

No, about the beta, I just decided to break the NDA. It began on the 12th and was announced on the 8th. Trust me i was there :).

While some of the info on this article (and talk page) can be found on the Turbine site, alot of it is speculative, derived from breached NDAs, and/or just plain wrong. In cases like this I would generally say that 'less is more'... until the game is actually released there is no reason to have anything more here than general information that they have officially announced. Wikipedia isn't a 'scoop' site and shouldn't try to be, because 'inside scoops' are inherently unverifiable. 'Turbine has said XYZ', is verifiable, but until the game is released nothing else is. --CBD 16:15, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
