[edit] Merge

I recommend this article be merged with the rest of the Ascalon Academy mission article. Any objections? LeFick 04:15, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Merging would be silly. The only thing the two share is a name. Backsword 19:48, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Silly? Lets examine this in some detail:

Both the PVP battle (part 1) and helping Prince Rurik (part 2) are both halves of the same mission.

You must do them both together.

If you try to resign from either mission half, you are returned to the beginning of part 2.

You can not DO part 2, unless you have at least started part 1.

They are the only way to access the Ascalon Academy explorable area.

Both part 1 and part 2 take place on opposite sides of the same gated wall.

A character can ever only go here once. (not counting disconnection)

Part 1 is assigned by Sir Tydus.

Part 2 starts automatically apon completion or resignation from part 2.

Once into the mission, either part 1 or part 2, you can not go back to Ascalon City ever.

Once into the mission, either part 1 or part 2, you can not go forward in the game untill you complete it.

Looks like they have a lot in common to me. Since they are halves of the same mission, I believe they should be on the same article. Nothing Silly about it. LeFick 21:59, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, they are sequential. So are plenty of things in the game. Eg. Mission outposts.

The key point is that the info for each section of the article is different. An article where every section is split into two subsections is just pointless. Add that they are seperate map zones, with different ingame links, and there is really no case. Backsword 22:12, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Agree with merge. Just like our dungeon articles, have all levels on one page. br12 • 22:14, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

To: Backsword, While my original retort was meant to be a little dramatic, I am curious, which in-game links you are talking about. If you can explain in a little detail, I might have to reconsider my position. Thanks LeFick 22:31, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Check the Game Link: namespace. That's where the game links to. (From the help screen (F10 default)) We then link onwards tp mainspace articles. As these are seperate enteties from the game engine perspective, they have seperate links. (That's true for dungeon levels too, though.) Backsword 22:53, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok. I just made a new temporary character, and ran thru the Searing at the Ascalon Academy. Durring the PVP battle, there is indeed a F10 link to that part of the mission, seperately from the second half. I then went to the special pages and viewed the Game Link namespace (what an eye opener that page is) - Ok - While we could still use a redirect, I see your point. I'll remove the merge tag....LeFick 00:01, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh - I took a screenshot while I was there.....LeFick 00:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dialogue

Same deal as Talk:Trial by Fire. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(talk) 03:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to post this here, while it probably belongs somewhere else, (i didn't know how to create new topic). What i was gonna say was, that the wiki sais "Victory Condition = Deathmatch " but I believe that's wrong, as of what i reemember there's always been a ressurrection shrine, and the party that scores most kills wins. -- Prince Godrik

Isnt the party size 4 instead of 8? I wonder how dishonor works here... ;-) Justice 11:33, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
