Consider removing the rune lists to a separate page: "List of Runes (PoxNora)" or something. Mylakovich 01:31, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. List of PoxNora Runes. Adam Weeden 12:55, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Sweet. A list, separated by faction, would be sweet. We could make some pretty big tables...should we separate by expansion? Mrobviousjosh (talk) 00:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of PoxNora Runes

I've redirected List of PoxNora Runes here and in fact deleted that list per Wikipedia is not a game guide. Pascal.Tesson 21:45, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IF Wikipedia is not a game guide, why does Magic The Gathering have a page on Wikipedia entirely devoted to rules? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic:_The_Gathering_rules Mrobviousjosh (talk) 00:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Dont know anything about Wik or the game, buit this line in the artikle "But the game still sucks." seems a bit judgemental...

You're right, I don't know who put that there. :/ Surprised I didn't catch it last night- maybe it's new. Mrobviousjosh (talk) 00:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Screenshots

Does anyone know how to edit out those old ones and add in new ones? I am working on getting permissions from SOE-T at the moment to do so. --Maponiak (talk) 21:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Current Information

I'm going to ask PoxFan to please stop placing redundant information on the page. I'm willing to compromise and allow links to sites, as fan sites, however the lighthouse doesn't need its own little section. One guild within a game does not belong on the wiki page. The wiki page is there to provide accurate, useful information regarding the game, not stroke the ego of certain players. If you want to harass us on the forums with that garbage, fine. But don't bring it here.

I am going to have to ask you to stop deleting relevant information from the article.

Thank you. I will be reposting as soon as the lock is lifted. Guilds are a part of Poxnora and certainly deserve their own section. User:Poxfan

-- Specific information regarding individual Guilds is not relevant information; that's true for any current, active Guild in PN. A General Guild section should be added which notes what they are, how they function and other specifics such as Guild Chat being active in-game once you join a Guild; only a link to the Guild Listing page on the PN website should be included. Specific information should only pertain to the game, the PN "story" and the developers. TempleEye (talk) 17:12, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

-- Ah, ok. Sounds good. ^^ Zumguy (talk) 17:17, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Lighthouse section was just general information regarding the guild. Whats wrong with that?

Guilds Section

Why not have a separate section talking about guilds in general? This section could discuss how guilds exist within the game and their benefits. And also let anyone add a tiny discussion about their guild in the "Guilds section".

I agree that there should not be a separate section for a single guild, otherwise many guilds will clutter this page with their entries.

Also there does not need to be any mention of any guild outside the separate guilds section of the poxnora wiki page.

Zumguy (talk) 17:07, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Zumguy we had a guild section in there originally, but it was edited out for some reason.

Nobody has ever been barred from adding their own guild, so why do they keep deleting the Lighthouse one is beyond me.

poxfan

-- It would seem that people do not want a discussion of individual guilds on the pox nora wiki page, which is completely understandable. Zumguy (talk) 17:21, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It wasnt a discussion. It was general information. With verifying links BTW.

The length of time that Lighthouse was up on the page and was left alone should go as proof that no one had a problem with it till the trolls from the game arrived. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Poxplayer (talkcontribs) 17:34, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trolls or not, individual guilds do not belong on the page. This is true for every game listed on Wikipedia that includes guilds. They just clutter the page, my son.

Gridlok87 (talk) 17:39, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Other pages have guilds listed on them another reason it is perfectly acceptable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Poxplayer (talkcontribs) 17:41, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair to Gridlok could you tell me one of the games that have guilds on them so I may look at an acceptable format?

poxfan

Try, Guild Wars. Thousands of Guilds, not one mentioned. There is a guild section, however.

Gridlok87 (talk) 17:52, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just giving my 2 cents here- this is clearly guild propoganda/spam and I think a small section stating that like most MMOs the game has a guild feature in which players can band together for common goals is more than appropriate. There's no need to list ANY guild (though mentioning that the top 10 daily get on the front page of the main site might be cool). I don't recall there being any information about ranking, come to think of it. Mrobviousjosh (talk) 00:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There will be a guild section when the lock is lifted. Also no guild has contributed more to the game of poxnora than lighthouse. When the lock is lifted I will be asking poxfan to restore that section and the appropriate links. If Gridlok choses to make a guild section like we have been discussing that is fine, and the Lighthouse section can be included in there. The Lighthouse section will also be expanded to include even more data that was originally omitted since it seems that folks may be more curious now than ever before about Lighthouse.

phaeton426 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phaeton426 (talkcontribs) 12:14, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A generic guild section will be created. The Lighthouse will NOT have its own area, no guilds will. The links to any fan sites regarding pox are of no consequence, however. Feel free to include the lighthouse there. I and others will continue to monitor the page in an attempt to make sure it is not defaced any further. Thanks!

Gridlok87 (talk) 17:11, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Looks like phaeton and "minions" (his words, not mine) may mean the page becomes "semi-protected" because they cna't grow up. How lame. :( Mrobviousjosh (talk) 19:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate Usernames

I'm making this comment so that people think to go ahead and register their PoxNora username on Wikipedia, even if they have a different wikipedia page, so that they're not impersonated like Jimmie1982 just had happen to him. That's all. Mrobviousj (talk) 00:45, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Yea thanks for this Mrobvious, this IS the actual Jimmie1982 from Pox Nora, my user name on many places is Maponiak.

Maponiak (talk) 20:12, 21 April 2009

Do we have proof of this? Wikipedia is not a source for you guys to slander and spread propoganda. O.K?

phaeton426 —Preceding undated comment added 12:16, 22 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]

We have administrative proof actually, the warning below is enough.

Maponiak (talk) 14:38, 22 April 2009

Warning

Any section on a specific guild from a game or a list of guilds is not appropriate for Wikipedia. Using multiple accounts to edit war is not allowed. Consider this a final warning, any account that reinserts the section without consensus will be blocked. BJTalk 19:55, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Faction, Element Theme Table

I feel that this section is wrong and could be clarified. I propose a change to:

  • Faction - Example Themes
  • Foglar Swamp - Water, Poison, Psychic
  • Forsaken Wastes - Undead, Death Benefits
  • Ironfist Stronghold - Earth, Equipment
  • Shattered Peaks - Beasts, "Bats"
  • Sundered Lands - Dragons, Sand
  • Underdepths - Fire, Demons

The table format will stay the same I am just proposing a change to the contents.

Zumguy (talk) 21:50, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your thoughts BUT realize what you're asking- FS, FW, and IS for example don't have any subraces. SP, SL, and UD include some. I don't like that. Adding equipment to IS is cool- I thought I added sand to SL already... Mrobviousjosh (talk) 21:53, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
