Ask not what the p99 wiki can do for you but what you can do for the p99 wiki!

Howdy you fine people of Norrath!

I will try to make this short { Don't look down lol } so you can all get back to your fun times. No matter if you play on the Blue, Green or the Teal server you have come to know, use and love the p99 wiki as a invaluable source of information but have you ever wondered why something is so obviously missing or out of place? This is especially so since the new servers came out and two more separate wiki entries are needed for almost every item, mob and zone and for certain eras. Problem is I don't see much progress when browsing the wiki daily. I am not sure of or would try to speculate on the reasons one might have or use to avoid taking the time to update or correct incorrect or misinformed information on website that has helped us all so much in our hunger and quest for adventure. These are my thoughts, like if I was having a discussion with someone about the wiki. Just my opinion so take it how you will, just trying to be helpful in a way that should actually help a large mass of the player base and not just a few individuals in game or whatnot.

Not sure how to edit the wiki? Just register and then you can have access to the edit option on the top of each page or in between sections. After that you just look at what is already been created on a page as a reference and duplicate those lines and add in the new/updated information. Might take a bit of trial and error but you can preview the changes before you save em so feel free to add whatever you believe should be on the wiki but remember to be as accurate as possible to avoid having to edit the same pages in the future.

Think most the information is correct? Far from the truth I'm afraid. So many links, items and mobs are still a mystery according to the wiki. Example ~ almost daily when I search for mobs to kill of certain levels/zones I often find a very limited loot table listed on the wiki for those mobs. Later after hunting said mobs I noticed many other items dropping of them regularly, including research mats, gems, etc. That type of situation is a easy update and just takes a moment of your time. Think how nice it would of been/will be to know when and where you can farm a certain mat or item much easier or perhaps find a more lucrative option while farming said item, two birds with one stone kinda thing. Play smarter, not harder.

Don't use the wiki? Not your problem? I don't believe you, sorry. Someone out there might have everything memorized but I too would consider myself fairly knowledgeable and yet I am still learning new things all the time. ( New mobs, class specific spell/skill uses, items, quests, etc ) You may not even know it but even if you do not directly use the wiki it is still giving you the information needed to progress via word of mouth from other players. It's a mystery how the other players knew about that camp or item...hmmm.

To end this on a positive note I'd like to say thank you for those who have contributed at any point in time or recently, kudos to you my friends and keep it up! Truly appreciated! In conclusion, sure the wiki is there to help us but we can also help ourselves and others by taking a moment of our time and add a missing item, chat dialogue or whatever else comes to mind. Hope you all have a great day, in real life and in Norrath!

Cheers mates!

TL;DR ~ The wiki ain't gonna edit itself, take a moment and help out your community!
