From RagnarTornquist.com(in reference to this article): "Suffice it to say, there’s not a whole lot of correct information in that article. The horse’s mouth (i.e. me) has not spoken, and few know The Truth."
Mr. Tornquist implies that this article is in reference to his upcoming project, which he has dubbed "Next Big Thing" or NBT, and he has neither confirmed the title as "The World Online" nor has he confirmed anything with regards to the content of the game, aside from the following (from another blog entry)
"Okay, so what is ‘The Game’? ‘The Game’ is:
- Online, massively multiplayer, and persistent. (Might as well get that one out of the way.) - Completely original. - Not at all what you’re expecting.
What ‘The Game’ isn’t:
- In any way related to The Longest Journey or Dreamfall. (Sorry, guys. That’s not happening yet. That does not mean, however, that it’ll be three years until we start working on the sequel. It could very well happen sooner - if it happens at all. Because I’m not saying it will. But I’m working on making it happen, one way or the other.) - Your standard elves-and-dwarves fantasy MMOG. - Ready to be revealed yet." --Andre 04:05, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Secret World
Ok, I've reverted the edits, because I want to have this article to be dealt with appropriately. "Importing text" is a mess. The article should be moved properly (which'd require the deletion of the newer article to "free" the name). But before that, you have to provide a reliable source. I've seen the article on Eurogamer, but it doesn't mention the "title". Wikipedia is no crystal ball. Ok, screw that, just saw the official announcement. But the article still needs to be renamed correctly. --Koveras ☭ 19:42, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Move & history merge
I have moved the page The World Online to this page, and done a history merge. All revisions under either name are now in the history. If there is info in the versions edited under the old name that belongs in teh article, you will need to look at old versions to get it. Note also that diffs may be screwed up when they go across revisions that were merged. This is why it is a very bad idea to simply "import text" from one article to another like this -- do a proepr move insted. if you need help, use Requested moves or just put {{helpme}} on your user talk page with a note about the problem.

- Thanks again, DES. :) Please, don't be harsh on Turbosauen, he's just not yet acquainted with the wiki-mechanics and, moreover, already got his share of criticism from me earlier today. ^^ --Koveras ☭ 22:28, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- I quite understand, sorry if I sounded harsh -- you should have seen some of my fisrt few edits! This happens all the time, we just want to make sure that anyone who does it learns better, becase it can be a bit of trouble to fix, and the fix is never quite perfect (diffs are messed up for a few revisions). Not a big deal though. Please do check if any info from one of the other revisions should be adeed back into the current version -- I didn't know the topic well enough to check that.

[edit] Exodus guild
About that recent external link addition. What is the encyclopedic value of the website? Please, correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't noticed any at a fleeting glance... --Koveras ☭ 15:51, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hey Koveras,
- I added The Exodus Syndicate to The Secret World wiki under external links cause I believe that it might be important for those interested in the game to know that there are quality guilds out there, just as there are fan sites and that we are the first to sign up for the game. Going on 3 years, we are a very serious and professional guild and we provide though-out services to our members on a daily basis. If there are fan sites listed, there should be guilds listed.
- Me and the two other management persons have invested time and money and we, in my opinion, deserve to be on The Secret World wiki.
- Thank you,
- Lion Martinez

- Hi, Lion. The Secret World wiki is located here, this place is called Wikipedia. ;) And Wikipedia has some strict rules about information relevance. The fansites you mentioned are relevant because they contain further information about the game itself. Your link's encyclopedic value is just the link itself (support for the claim that certain guilds support the game). As such, its relevance should be explained in the main text of the article (like "Professional player guilds have expressed support for the game.") and the link itself should be narrowed to the one webpage that supports the claim and added as a inline citation. PS: Oh, and since the issue is TSW-specific, it should be addressed on its talk page. --Koveras ☭ 08:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TWOscreenshot01.jpg
Image:TWOscreenshot01.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
