If this skill never appeared in-game why are we documenting it? -Smurf 06:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Since we know about it, why not document it? -- ab.er.rant

- Because all we know is what's in gw.dat. The only thing in there that isn't speculation is the description. I could add that it uses the monster icon and has and activation of 4 seconds, but that's all I could find out. Does anyone know how to find out what uses this skill if anything? Also does the client categorize skills the same way we do (like does it explicitly state that this skill can only be used in Nightfall or only be used by NPCs)? -Smurf 09:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- Dragging things out of gw.dat is no longer something done very rarely, so even if we delete it now, sooner or later, someone will add it in again. I feel it's easier to just leave it here since it's mostly harmless. -- ab.er.rant 14:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- True, but there are literally loads of redundant things in the dat file that were never implemented. I suggest if we do keep this we create a new template header to historical content to identify never implemented content, with a seperate category too. --Lemming

- I'd have to agree with ab.er.rant on this one. Too much information is better than too little. We're deleting too much IMO. :/ — Galil

- I don't think this belongs in historical content, it was never content to begin with if it was never seen by players, imo :P Another category with content retrieved from the dat would be fun though, with the appropriate disclaimer ;) - anja

- I would think it depends on how we define "historical". A simple wording tweak for that tag would include this article just fine. It depends on whether we define "historical" from a player's perspective or from a developer's perspective. In other words, should "history" only refer to the evolution of what can be seen in-game? If so, I suppose Utopia would probably fall into this new category as well? Something like "Category:Unimplemented content" or something... -- ab.er.rant 01:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- I would definitely not define Utopia as historical content, as historical to me sounds like implemented and later removed (Utopia was never even announced, people just found it in the dat, right?). I like the definition "unimplemented"/"never implemented" alot better. - anja 13:19, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

It seems I'm the only one for deletion so I'll remove the tag. -Smurf 13:11, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
