[edit] Regarding Copyright Infringement Issue

The website[1] refered to by J Milburn is not the original source of the information posted within the article. The information was originally posted publicly on the game's official forums by the Acclaim staff[2]. Admittedly, the content of the Gameplay[3] section should not be a carbon copy of the website's official information; rather, it would be more useful to those reading the article if the article instead gave details of each section in a plain-english format (In its current form, the information reads as if it were written by a role-player of the game). However, in regards to the game's storyline, it can either be placed in the article with no editing from the source material, or it should be deleted and replaced with a link to the source.

[edit] Article needs

• Article needs a gameplay overview and a Critical reaction section if there are any reliable reviews out there.
• Integration of information from [4][5][6][7] as pointed out in the AfD.
• Section on character classes could be less verbose, per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction). Marasmusine 20:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
• People to monitor it for vandalism, there are quite a few random words thrown around in the article. 24.58.114.90 18:08, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for a Screenshot

I may be able to provide the article with a few screenshots though I'm not sure how long it but I should have it pretty soon. --Zero'deficit 07:27, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible use of this page for advertising by Acclaim

This article contains numerous items that appear to be excerpts from a help file or faq from 2Moons, as they use "we" to refer to Acclaim or 2Moons repeatedly. Some items contain blatent invitations to try the game. This is unencyclopedic. I have fixed some of this, but do not have time to complete all the work that needs to be accomplished to render this article acceptable.

[edit] Deleted Character Classes

I deleted the Character Classes section of the article. It was loaded with minutia that isn't relevant to an encyclopedic entry, and is also self contradictory; according to the info presented, all six classes were each the most powerful PvP class. Reyemile (talk) 21:01, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I maintain the the Character classes section is useless. If anything, it should be a few sentences at best; it's totally unnecessary for Wikipedia to tell readers the one class can get bonuses to defense from shields. In addition, as I mentioned previously, many of the classes refer to themselves as being the strongest PvP class. In addition to being an unsourced claim that looks like original research, it strikes me as obviously contradictory.

Please post in the discussion forums before reversing my edits and marking them as vandalism. Reyemile (talk) 17:17, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Story

Does this page really require a backstory to the game ? Not a lot of MMO pages on wikipedia really require a story as part of the article... WikifingHelper (talk) 06:13, 8 March 2008 (UTC) Or at least, if a story will be put up, could it be one short summary ? WikifingHelper (talk) 06:15, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bad Moons Rising

Should this page include information on the Bad Moons Rising, the new patch/expansion released March 31? Or is it unnecessary for the article? --142.55.65.249 (talk) 21:02, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
