Bring it back. Why? It's what brought flavor. Spice. Players interaction with it is great. People explored ideas. Hell, a few users practiced writing lore submissions before applying for CT. Wiki page? Who cares. It's bland and only like a handful of people can edit it. If they edit that is.

Lore page allowed users to share ideas or correct mistakes. Discuss things. Make submissions. Wiki page does zero of these things so it should be trashed.

Hate to be a downer, but when I was a Lore Writer none of them seemed to have been in the talks to be added. In fact, I remember asking for Agatha's City 12 re-write submission to be added to V2's lore multiple times and it never happened (plus asking for the approved materials to be moved to the V3 category instead of being buried in the depts of the forums, which, last I checked, never happened). I was still planning on getting some of the approved stuff into V3 somehow, but I got kicked out early on, so I can't tell you whether or not they'll be added.

If it is, I get the removal. V2 stuff never got implemented and V3's vision is likely already in place. This probably means that there's simply no point in receiving any more submissions past the already present ones.​

This one is a hard agree in any case. The Wiki is a ghost town and has been ever since its inception. Its own premise is frankly ridiculous - why in the world would someone separate Willard's lore (which fits in about 5 posts) from the forums and force a skeleton crew of about 3 to 5 people to maintain it? Sure, the Wiki also includes information on the factions, but there's no reason why this can't be kept on the forums either.

Not to mention that, obviously, not everything from the forums will actually be transferred. As I said, Willard's "Lore" fits in only a few posts - everything else is more fluff to the setting, and it's pretty obvious it will be left out when V3 comes. In other words, we lose everything that was written as part of V2. Sure, it may have served its purpose a long time ago, but it's still someone's work and deserves to be visible in some form or another.​

We are looking at bringing the whole "Wiki" stuff we have now to Xenforo, there is 2 plugins we found which does support a Wiki being added to the forums directly avoiding having to jump through hoops and in turn allow one to suggest new pages/lore have feedback prior to it being posted to its respective section.

But it is in the works.
