For those not yet familiar with MediaWiki, here's a Sandbox.

Note: In order to fight the ever increasing number of spam, you need to sign up to the Wiki in order to edit pages. We are sorry about any inconvenience this might cause but we cannot afford to spend more developer time watching the wiki and cleaning up behind spammers.

Quick Scratchpad

For ideas that are too small to get their own page, and too valuable to forget

  • Guide to create your own world with worldforge, who explain what you have to do if you want create your world, server side, client side and how to create your entities and terrain (with Ember terrain editor for example .. [We have movement! on WorldForge Developers’ Journal) --Elendrim 23:28, 20 September 2006 (CEST)
  • A tamagotchi sword that wants to be fed blood - such a cool idea for an interactive game item with a lot of potential. (Inspired by http://www.thenoobcomic.com/daily/strip144.html but it could be something much more sinister also - in the style of the Elric books). --zzorn 20 July 2006

Housekeeping

The Volatile Pages list contains pages that have content that easily becomes outdated. Checking and updating them once in a while will help keep the wiki useful.
