Welcome
Hehey! Welcome! I just wanted to say, great job on uploading those images! They look really nice, exactly the quality we need. Happy editing, and feel free to ask any questions you have. :D &mdash; Why  23:26, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks for the welcome & the feedback! I'm a total novice to wikis and too short on time to really immerse myself in reading about it, so wasn't quite sure I'm doing things right - thanks for setting my mind at ease :). Hopefully will be staying around and doing more on the wiki once I get more free time, been lurking here for quite a while so it's nice to contribute a bit myself  Nate  [[Image:User Nate Alluran MyTalkPage.png|20px|User talk:Nate Alluran]] 06:49, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Image cache
Hi Nate! Due to caching issues, it often takes up to an hour for replacement images to appear. Continuing to reupload images simply makes the problem worse. Please be patient and allow at least an hour for a change to occur, and then try purging your browser cache, or forcing a purge by adding   to the end of the address line. Thanks! -- Wyn 16:31, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm glad to see someone doing a better job than i did ; i hope you'll go further and give every possible picture. Thanks and good luck. Liche 19:15, 19 January 2009 (UTC)~
 * Liche! Thank you so much :) I have to tell you though, I doubt I can claim anything close surpassing your contribution to the wiki - I've been checking up on images-to-update in every area I happen to play and your name just comes up again and again on a lot of the better-looking images all over the place (especially in those hard to reach quests and missions)! Also, you're one of the few that seem to take an effort to get the shots right when uploading an image which I really appreciate, being something of a perfectionist myself ;). Anyway- thank for your words, still a loooong way from getting all those pictures, but I don't have any long trips planned in the near while ;).

This Wiki Thing
If you are interested I can help you with the basics of "this wiki thing". Let me know and I could help you put up a page for your main character similar to mine. Take a look and let me know. If not I am sure there are lots of others here on wiki that would be happy to help. Elric Coy 16:38, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the offer Elric! I'm on a bit of a wiki-break atm but I think I'd like to take you up on that offer once my schedule gets a bit less hectic.  Nate [[Image:User Nate Alluran MyTalkPage.png|20px|User talk:Nate Alluran]] 20:39, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

image uploads
again, as Liche said, i'm glad to see someone not only uploading lots of images for the mainspace, but also most widely good, clean ones without combat interaction (which Liche sometimes unfortunately didn't manage :P) from a good perspective. there are regrettably many users which only upload images from their characters à la " ". i do not intend to personally attack anyone. (i'm currently also only cotributing in the userspace myself.) it's just that i think it's great also having users like you which are more focusing on the actual wiki content rather than the community part. (which - of course - also is important, altough it's questionable whether doing almost nothing but contributing in one's userspace is reasonable^^...) therefore i want to thank you for your work so far! the wiki needs people like you to finally get rid of the huge list of missing or bad images and stubs ;) &mdash;Zerpha The Improver 14:24, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot Zerpha :) I really don't get people who sign up here just to build up a huge user page and never contribute (oh, I'll probably make a nice one myself at some point, but *only* doing that?)... Apart from that, working on improving the images in the wiki gave me a fresh focus in the game which was sorely needed seeing as I was getting bored after a couple of years ^_^. Now I find myself appreciating and admiring the in-game visuals and the detailed models all over again, and managing to capture that beauty is immensely satisfying to me (contributing to the community is a nice bonus ;)).

 * yeah, playing the game with another concern than the usual one can also be fun, and enjoying one's contrubitions is of course convenient. unfortunately not all players can comprehend that point of view and find already mentioned ways of proceeding more satisfying. &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 19:52, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Nice pictures
That "horrific beauty" you mention is beauty indeed. Good work. --Burning Freebies 22:00, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks ^_^ just out of interest, was there a specific one that caught your eye?  Nate [[Image:User Nate Alluran MyTalkPage.png|20px|User talk:Nate Alluran]] 21:00, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
