Updates and Additions

Allow me to be the first to break the ice.

2. Lore update

So, with this point there's a lot to get through and update especially given how tedious it often is to reformat things for a wiki posting (and make an account and get permission and all that). IMO there are two key regions to focus on here:

Day to Day - this is things that happen in the overworld and is usually summed up nicely with the SoE posts however that sometimes causes a desync with the wiki. Other things that fall under this umbrella include lore related to all the playable races in the game. Some of these have a mismatch between the game and the wiki (key one being Teraphim off the top of my head).

Event - This is Lore for placed that aren't on the main map and are only visited during events. This is less important for a player but it's a nightmare to try and get a handle on things as a DM. Different people will run events to the same with wildly different things happening with no centralised place to provide updates or draw information from.

I think the main issue with Lore at the moment stems from having a wiki as the depository for most of the information with the rest being scattered around the forums. So for my suggestions it would probably be more prudent to use Live documentation (eg google docs) that is kept up to date by trusted groups who are interested in the topic with Journal admins having the final say in whatever is in the document themselves. This should allow not only more readily updated material but would also promote people to get involved with the Lore they like and actually have a say in things.

To summarise my thoughts in a more succinct manner. There should be an unintimidating and open forum way of people to update/introduce new ideas into the lore outside of the (imo) archaic system of a wiki page. Perhaps to keep the wiki system intact, the 'official' changes to the shared documents can be added to the wiki on a weekly basis.
