Has any thought gone into the idea of having a community developed SlothWiki?
I think that a wiki would be a very accessible way to get players good information. It might help with player retention, and it would increase the relevance of SlothMud to search engines (a lot of sloth themed content, means more search engine relevance).
A good game wiki that I have used is the Dofu wiki (
http://dofuswiki.wikia.com/wiki/Dofus_Wiki) this wiki has really helped improve my game experience, and I think a similar tool for sloth could help her as well.
If this idea is liked, I would be willing to setup a wiki for this game however the admins would like (external on wikia, external using wikimedia or even internal using wikimedia).
I would also be willing to do the grunt work of porting a lot of information over to the wiki.
There is a lot of good information currently on the sloth site, but it feels a little stale, and does not have a lot of information beyond the technical.
Users being able to amend content, would allow this information to stay fresh, and up to date.
Cartography could be moved to the wiki allow it to be updated by users as changes are made and discovered. It would also remove the webmaster as having to be the single source for updates and changes, which is a huge task considering how large/rich slothmud is.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
