EQ Legends - P99 Wiki Request

[xmaerx]

Hello!

I had been talking to two others interested in planning out a "springboard" for the EQ Legends server wiki. The expectation is that this new server will take quite some time to escape the Classic-Kunark-Velious timespan that P99 has extraordinarily well documented.

The goal would be to fork and curate the P99 Wiki, retaining all of the "content" which will be identical (Quest chains, zones, maps, mob locations, drop tables) and building on top of it with the custom mechanics and content that may exist on this upcoming server. This would also allow us to retain a familiar format for anyone playing on both servers, since the layout, page flows, navigation etc would be consistent across both wikis.

There are some challenges with this approach that we have outlined, but ultimately starting from scratch would result in thousands of hours of work before the wiki would be useful (The P99 wiki took over a decade, for example), and I suspect people would just "settle" for the P99 wiki at best, for something it isn't intended, or at worst, make edits to it that don't apply to P99 (This is also an issue with the existing EQ TLE servers and their lack of a carefully dedicated wiki)

I spoke with the current maintainer of the P99 Wiki and he had mentioned seeking public endorsement of such a thing -- since the wiki itself is entirely public contributions. That's totally fair.

So this is the wide-net request to anyone who has contributed, in large or small part, to the wiki: Any vocal opposition to spring-boarding the EQ Legends wiki with a partial DB dump of the classic EQ content from the P99 wiki?
