Wikiproject videogame assessment

Article re-assessed as B class, here's a few suggestions:

The article lead is weak, there is now enough information available for two full-sized paragraphs which give the reader all the relevant information, currently it takes an extremely distal view.
Watch out for short paragraphs, try and merge them into larger ones, it's not a major problem with this article but it could be improved. For instance, in the second half of characters there's details about character classes and jobs, as well as guilds and players banding together, try to separate these two and leave more rounded paragrpahs.
Under questing:"These are indicated by having yellow exclamation marks (!) above their heads, while yellow question marks represent quests ready to hand back and complete." Does the exclamation mark need to be there in brackets? The second part of the sentence is odd, a quest isn't a physical object so there's nothing to "hand back". Also it could use some clarification, does a question mark mean that the quest has been completed and that talking to the NPC again will result in a reward?
Dungeons: is there anything remarkable in terms of geography or strategies available in different dungeons?
Peer review - suggest taking it for a PR, this article could be a GA candidate but I'd suggest getting more opinions first.

Nice work on this, hope the above are of some use. Someone another 22:40, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for the assessment, it's much appreciated. I'll try to incorporate your changes and organise for a peer review or two, possibly aiming for GA or A class. I'm also considering appropriate illustrations in order to improve the article, but it's still early days. Gazimoff ^Write_Read 14:45, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At the template

Is it really necessary to add this article to the games section at the template? -71.190.180.67 (talk) 00:49, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean here. Could you explain please? Many thanks, Gazimoff ^Write_Read 14:46, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At the bottom of the page, at the world of warcraft template, this is listed at the games section. I think only games should be in that section not gameplay. -150.108.232.25 (talk) 02:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Classes/Races

I don't think that this went to great lengths to discuss to advantages and disadvantages of the various races and classes. It would be nice to see recommendations for talent points and the like. Ghogg (talk) 04:15, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
