[edit] Old discussion
Things this article could currently use:
- An image with the game logo or a screenshot
- Additional information from other interviews with the game developers. Also a few more links to external sources
The game is still in closed beta, so obviously information directly gathered from playing in closed beta can't be used without the author violating an NDA. There are probably additional public sources of information, though, that could be useful.

- The NDA is no longer in effect. Ispellsgud 00:13, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
there is a screenshot page on the playNC site I do believe, I dunno what hoops would have to be gone through for copyright consent, but it would contribute to the article 75.14.220.24 10:39, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Game's NDA lifted?
I think the game's NDA was recently lifted and it's now in open beta. If someone can confirm that and make the appropriate changes to the article, that'd be great. Dugwiki 21:41, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
The beta only opened to 5,000 more player, still close. Not sure about NDA.
[edit] Needs an update
I noticed that the article indicates the game officially went live this month. However the article's language is still written largely from the perspective of early beta. I personally haven't played the game since early beta and don't have access at the moment to the website or reviews or press releases. But if someone with access to the that sort of info could take some time to update the article, it would significantly improve it. Dugwiki 16:15, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
I updated the article from the beta perspective. --Αεκος 11:43, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removing fansites
I've removed the fansite links because 1) I believe that it was ruled some time ago that fansites are unencyclopedic, and 2) both the sites linked are dead. Dungeon Runners Retreat hasn't been updated since March (when the game was still in middle beta), and the game has undergone many, many changes since then (the class system as described no longer exists, the "Map" — really a flow chart — shows a version of the game that no longer exists, etc.). The Townstons Archive is only a small homepage with multiple internal deadlinks; if ever there was any data at the end of those links, it's gone now. In sum, they were unencyclopedic, and now they are woefully out of date and apparently abandoned. They offer nothing to someone looking for more info about the game. 12.22.250.4 20:42, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Contested passage
I'm removing this here because I believe it is inaccurate.
- (by default). The player can manually change the camera to mock the isometric view.
I've been playing the game since it went live, and there is no such feature in the game. If I am incorrect, could someone please cite a source to back themselves up? The camera view in the game is strictly third person. 12.22.250.4 21:49, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dr 250.jpg
Image:Dr 250.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] History
I've been trying to hunt down sources for the development of this game, especially the connection to the cancelled Trade Wars/Exarch project. I'll dump some links I find here so me or anyone else can work on it later: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] --- RockMFR 15:36, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ad Supported
The game is moving to an ad supported model, where you can access some of the "Members" features" in exchange for having advertisements shown in the client. The article should have something about that. Here's a link on the forum that has links to some official comments, and discussion. [10]
