U don't like wiki idea, ok, but i want it.
The items manual - as with every other manual - is maintained by volunteers and we are grateful to them.

A volunteer has not yet found the time to be able to update the item manual as you have shown us. Rather than simply point it out, I would suggest that there is an opportunity there to do something about it.

Perhaps we should focus our attention on what is already established, rather than create something new that will come with its own set of issues and problems?

Ohh, so.. there are volunteers to create manual, and no volunteers to fill up wiki... Ok, do not waste your time on me. I'm already understand you and madmaniacal1 points of view.

That's not quite how it works on a forum.

People make posts about their ideas. There will be some who agree and others who disagree. We have to learn to live with this. Dismissing those who happen to disagree with your point is counterproductive.

However, in the end it is up to Compbatant to decide whether these ideas are worth implementing. Some ideas are and many are not. We have to accept this either way.

I'm not totally against this idea. I just think that the whole community shouldn't be able to alter such a wiki. As I have seen in some wikis, only some users can edit them. That would work, but then the question becomes "Who should do it?" If the GMs were to choose the "Wiki team" and provide them with the necessary files, I don't see why this couldn't be done.

On a side note, don't we already have a walkthrough? Item and monster files can be downloaded already, and a fast forum search can find almost any detail about any map or quest that has been released. Why is a wiki needed?

Forum is full of ideas of any quality - from trivial to amazing.

If every player having a good idea would work on realising it, the game would have several continents, instead of just one.

In the end, the ones actually putting an effort in moving their ideas from theory to practice are just a small number. The most part of the players just play, and maybe is not realising how important their contribution might be, even if small.

Watch at the WalkThrough: there's an open call for contribution, with levels rewarding:

Several players know quests very well.
No one (let me be clear: n-o o-n-e) sent me texts so far.
Over a year has passed since I've asked for help on writing the Walkthrough, and we didn't even receive a "Deliver the book" description
