We'll all lose the game again and again if you don't archive this section.

"Brave are they who know everything yet fear nothing."

You're doing it wrong.

It is human nature to fear. We do it all the time, even with things we have no right to be afraid of.

Fearing nothing indicates the presence of so little brain function that even these simple instincts cannot be processed. Fearing nothing, therefore, is the height of folly.

Bravery is recognizing your fear, accepting it, and telling it to shove itself up your ass while you deal with whatever it is you're afraid of.

A common misconception on the brave man's part is when he says "I'm not afraid". To the uneducated, he indeed does not seem afraid - he may even think it himself. The reality is that he's learned to handle his fear well enough that he doesn't notice the difference.

-- Armond Warblade 04:33, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, first consider that people naturaly tend to fear the unknown, and a good deal of the time, reveaqling that unknown removes the fear of it. There is still the primeval fear of things that pose a legitament physical danger to us. It is possible to, in a way, trick yourself into not fearing something, by convincing yourself that it is not a threat to you. The nature of fear is a tricky one, and I'm not going to pretend to know everything about it. I put that quite in tandem with the one before it, as I'm under the asumption that they both apply to the concept of one's fear for the unknown. --Wolf 21:41, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

But Chewbacca is a Wookie from Kashyyk. -- Armond Warblade 03:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Hu? Ya lost me --Wolf 03:22, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Look on my User Page under the heading Chewbacca Defense, that should clarify it. *Defiant Elements* +talk 03:24, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

So, Armond, are you saying this makes no sense? --Wolf 03:26, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

While I have no clue what Armond and Wolf are on about, I love the Chewy case. Nice one Defiant ;-) |Foul Bane| 05:21, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

This is so obviously a WH40K quote. Quite like "Heresy grows from idleness" and "There is no such thing as a plead of innocence in my court. A plea of innocence is guilty of wasting my time. Guilty.", it does not apply to real life. -- NUKLEAR IIV 08:26, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, an earlier edit didn't got through. But, yeah. I kinda had that Quote in a box labeled "Warhammer 40,000 Quotes".... --Wolf 21:38, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

PAX

Hello, as far as I know you're the only person in the wiki who has mentioned you were going to PAX. So, how did it go? Any interesting news about the future of Guild Wars? Erasculio 04:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Errr... I think Kokuou went to pax too. -- Salome 04:04, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I had a blast, but the only info I gain GW wise, is that they will be puttiing out 3 books, one being the time between GW1 and GW2. They do not know what the other two will be. I did get to have a few good conversations with some staff members tho. --Wolf 06:19, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Any interesting bit of conversation you would like to share with us? I'm way envious of you, I wish I could have been there. Erasculio 17:26, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Did Izzy have a bodyguard with him? On a more serious note, WHAT DID YOU LEARN??? -- NUKLEAR IIV 18:32, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Yea we're curious to know what happened! Any info you can share with us about GW2 or anything important? Gosh I'm envious too! i didn't get to go :(. How was Regina and the staff? Wetwillyhip 20:07, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

No, Izzy did not have a body guard on him. A lot of the conversatiosn where ones I would have had with any other avid fan, things we loved/hated about the game and such. I made a comment or two to Izzy about how well GW was balanced compared to other MMO's and such, but he mainly kept to himself, probablt feared being a center of hate. I had a few random light-hearted conversations with Regina and the GW1 Live Team AI Lead (who's name escapes me atm) about random fun stuff, during which conversations he had a Ooze plushy thrown at him by Purple Llama (Who I also met breifly there). The only thing I learned other than about the books was that GW2 wasnt shown b/c they dont believe it to be in good enough shape to show and the realy want to make huge first impressions. I'd like to say that I get Anet's intentions twards releasing GWW2 info and I am behind them whole heartedly. I may not like it all that much, but now that I think about it, Blizzard used the same tactic with D3 and SC2, nothing, then a massive amount and a steady stream from there. I also got my hands on SC2 and am thoroughly impressed with it. --Wolf 21:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Nice. Anything interesting in the "Three Years of Guild Wars" pannel? Erasculio 21:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Hmmmm, not very. A lot of it was just a lot of why they did things they did. I don't remember too much of it, but the leader of RAWR was there, met him, pretty cool guy. --Wolf 21:35, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I smell some booze there : D Seriously, though, thanks for the mini review. Must have been interesting to talk to all these Arena Net people. Erasculio 21:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

No, no booze was involved. If I think of something else, I'll let ya know. PAX as a whole is a lot of fun, and if you can manage to pull it off, I would highly recommend attending. As a whole the Ane4t crew is a pretty cool group of people from what I gathered, and the fact that they would put 35 or more of their staff at the mercy of us fans and answer our questions and just light-heartedly chat and have a good time is phenominal. Plus they put up wiht ym stupid antics of getting them all to sign my Art of GW book eeven tho they had no hand in it. XD (THANKS GUYS!) --Wolf 22:10, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

o_O I wented to PAX, too, just like Wolf says. Although, I didn't get to meet him (which is a shame, really :D). I don't really remember anything too hinty toward GW2, either. Oh, except for that when one fan asked whether or not we will find out what's up with the City of Orr, one of the devs said that "[she] cannot say whether something will or will not happen either now or in the future." Other than that, we mainly just hung out with the devs and chatted with them (all of whom were extremely nice and totally willing to chat with us... all 200 of us...). I didn't get in line early enough to snag one of the art books, though, so I'm totally jealous of you, Wolf. >,> Kokuou 23:26, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, where you hanging out at the NCSoft booth talking with Regina and (I wanna say) Joe Kimmes (but I could be wrong, whoever is the GW1 Live Team Programmer, AI lead) Sunday around 2:30-3:00ish? For the conversation about favorite armors, survivor blunders, Hero AI, and the like? Oh, and Anyone that got VIP tickets for the Game's Works party got an Art Book. Regina's Game was pretty fun! For anyone that played with me, I was Orion. — Wolf 21:30, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

GW data files

They have an interpreter. If they don't, then GW is a program that wrote itself. There's a much higher change of the universe ending tomorrow than of anet not having an interpreter for the data in GW. They might not have a utility that is solely used for editing that stuff, but they can do it through other means, just as they have before. ~Shard 00:13, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Prove they have done it before. Other than re-rolls of guild ratings. — Wolf 01:10, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

They ban accounts, they ban guilds, they assign trims to guilds, they roll back individual characters, they mark characters as inappropriate names, they change character appearances. That's just off the top of my head. ~Shard 04:20, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Show me an example maybe some screnies — Seru Talk 04:21, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Bans, giving out guild trim, marking characters and makign you change it is all supported through the game engine, as with ANY other game. That's required to operate a game and are normal occurances.. As for char roll-backs, only time I have seen that was with Factions and NF beta events. Give me DOCUMENTABLE PROOF that they have manualy edited a characters titles or something else. Name DOES NOT count. Consiracy theories are pretty worthless when you can't back them up eh? — Wolf 21:21, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

A small comment: they did a massive rollback after the economy crash in proph (traders went berserk and began sellnig ecto's for 100g) and after the ambrace duplication mess. -- NUKLEAR IIV 10:31, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah black tuesday 2 — Seru Talk 21:01, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Rollbacks on what? I highly doubt any of that involved editing one's characters. — Wolf 21:39, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Well outside of one day i couldn't tell you of any rollbacks — Seru Talk 21:43, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Nuklear, where these rollbacks just on item prices, or did the affect actual character data? — Wolf 21:44, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

It rolled back EVERYTHING. total server rollback — Seru Talk 21:49, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's easily possible, without editing individual characters or even touching thier files and such. Heck, you can do the same thing with any computer, and so can most companies if they back-up their stuff. God forbit they don't. — Wolf 21:56, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

They also removed duped ambraces, and banned duper accounts. -- NUKLEAR IIV 22:33, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

They tracked trade and discon longs for the bans I'm sure. I cna see this as one of the rare, end of the world esque situations where they would mod the game engine to do some working woth poeple's char data, since it's on a large scale. I do work kinda like this. tagging pieces of data in a file, then running through it again, grabbing that data and then working wiht it. This would be a large scale effort and would actualy warrent the coding time and effort and mess it would incure. But still not proof that they have edited someone's character to lower titles or something that is not 100% warrented for the safety of the game (said while looking at Shard) — Wolf 22:43, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, no comment from Shard, I guess that means I win.... — Wolf 06:18, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Lack of opposition is not proof of correctness. I could say "the sky is red", and if everyone ignored me for being stupid, that wouldn't mean I was right. -- Armond Warblade 17:08, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

He has failed to produce sufficient evidence to prove me wrong, so, until he does, that means I win. — Wolf 19:45, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

No, it doesn't. It means he's left the conversation because it got too stupid for him. (What's with this "winning" attitude, anyway?) -- Armond Warblade 18:34, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Meh, he's not BSing about consiracy theories he can't prove anymore, so.... That makes me somewhat happy. IDk, it felt like a small little victory. — Wolf 20:34, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

They have the capability to alter individual accounts, assuming their stance on gold selling, and the removal of illegally gotten gold from accounts holds any water. Since I don't personally partake in any of those kinds of activities, and never have, I can not say from personal experience. -- Wyn 20:39, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Could you...

conceivably do something constructive? Lord Belar 23:40, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions? I have a pretty cramped schedule. — Wolf 23:44, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

At the very least? Double your mainspace edits. calor (talk) 23:45, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

In what way? I don't possess anything GW wise that isn't already on the wiki. — Wolf 23:48, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

There's lot's that needs doing. If you ever visited anything other than user talks, you'd know that. Lord Belar 23:50, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Editing mainsapce != adding content. GWW:PROJECT. calor (talk) 23:50, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Can also mean sorting out alot of the formatting issues we have at the moment with alot of the articles being somewhat hit and miss on their conformity to policy. Oh and ive just realised that I can touch type! YAY ME! -- Salome 23:53, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

@Lord Belar - Fully aware of that.

@Calor - Also aware. I'm pretty crunched on time, Idk how much I could contribute.

@Salome - Ew... Formatting... Idk if I'm savy enough with wiki-coding and policy to handle that just yet

@All - I'm not trying to get out of contributing, I just haven't quite found anything that works best for me. — Wolf 23:57, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

We have missing pics you could work on, or you could work on the icons or expanding stubs or clearing up messy articles. Any number of things really. EDIT: actually that reminds me I really have to get back to editing those armour galleries and the weapon formatting. -- Salome 23:59, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

And we aren't trying to force you into anything you don't want to do, but you have over 3000 edits... and ONE of them is in mainspace. The time and energy you spend adding your two cents to talk page conversations that have little if anything to do with you could be much better spent just correcting typos. -- Wyn 00:05, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) I'm not sure if this section was supposed to be just a joke, but on the chance that it's not, what's with the pressuring people into doing things? So what if all Wolf does is go on user talks? There's no rule stating that you have to do something constructive or GTFO. Seriously, you all don't know the individual circumstances of each user and you have no right telling (or even just suggesting) how someone should be using their wiki time. Kokuou 00:08, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

It's 85.6% a joke, approximately. calor (talk) 00:09, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

That's what I figured, although <joke> or <sarcasm> tags would be helpful. o_O Kokuou 00:11, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Their not saying "Be constructive or GTFO" (atleast that what it seems like XD ). I saw it more of just a "Hey, *nudge* think you could contribute some?" — Wolf 00:45, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

It looks like I only have a little over 1,600 edits, unless my preferences page is wrong.... — Wolf 01:18, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

My miscount, and my apologies... but STILL..... lol -- Wyn 07:40, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree with people above, this is completely unacceptable! We should block, kick and delete all contributions of people who do stuff all the time in user talk pages (especially when they just get in the middle of a discussion that has nothing to do with them!) but never contribute to the main space. IMO, everyone with less than (let me pick a very random number...How about 453?) 453 contributions to the main space should be locked away from talk pages (yep, even their own; we could also block them from reading anything not in the main space, that would be cool too). Erasculio 12:40, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, with that many edits most users would be able to vote for Bureaucrat. However, at his ratio, he'd need to get to over 9000!...... actually, yes, well over 9000, somewhere in the 160,000 range before he could vote in an election. --JonTheMon 12:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

@Wyn - Lol indeed. I'm workin on finding something that I could be useful at doing.

@Erasculio & JonTheMon - I came here mainly for the community and to ask questions and take part in discussions. There are plenty of users who hang around on talk pages but don't do much in the ways on contributing to the main-space, I'm just the most out-spoken of them it seems. And no, I'm not going to go use any of the elite fan-sire forums. Not enough intelegant beings I could get along with there...... — Wolf 21:30, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Lol, not the most outspoken, just the only one to annoy the wrong Wyn :P -- Wyn 21:32, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

@Erasulio - sounds like a policy proposal to me :D -- Wyn 21:33, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Annoying in what why? I'd like to avoid that int he future >.< — Wolf 21:35, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Wolf, I was making fun at how I do the exact same thing (contribute way more on talk pages than on the main space, like to get in the middle of discussions that have nothing to do with myself like this one, and etc). Don't take stuff so seriously : D (and I'm all for GWW:SHUTUP). Erasculio 21:36, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Meh, not taken too seriously, not enough to be angry or anything =D I'm generaly pretty easy going — Wolf 21:39, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Read my current Rant. It's my pet peeve of the month :D -- Wyn 21:40, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I see you point and I get that, but on a side note, I like to think that I do a very minimal amount of complaining =D I'm working on readign through the list of projects to find one that's suitable for a wikinoob that doesnt get big chunks of time to work on things. — Wolf 21:53, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Jeff Strain's 2007 speech

Hello, have you ever read Jeff Strain's speech at the 2007 German convention? While it does not specifically say much about Guild Wars 2, it has some interesting comments such as...

• "The only way to ship an MMO into the market and have confidence that it will survive at each of these thresholds is to ensure that your entire team is playing the game, every day, for at least two years before release. That sounds difficult, because you first have to ensure that everyone enjoys playing the game, then allocate time in the development schedule for them to play it, and finally ensure that you actually have something playable two years before release. Despite the difficulties of fully achieving this goal, at ArenaNet we believe that this philosophy was crucial to the success of Guild Wars."
• "If you are starting today and don't have at least three years and $30 million dollars, consider developing in another genre."

...And a few other things that give an idea of what the minimum development time for GW2 will be. Erasculio 11:39, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, mor eon this later, as I'm bailin for owrk shortly, but! Testing a game throughly often involves LOTS of playing. Any time you test a game, your generaly playing it. BAck in the day, Betas used to be a massive de-bug fest, and not an early show-off of the game. They are still for debugging, but, they have shifted more twards a show-off deal. I'm gunna end this by saything there is nothing wrong with this at all. — Wolf 20:32, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

I just finished reading the whole thing, very wise words, all of it, and helped to reassure me that GW2 WILL NOT be a WoW clone. Oh, and Tank you very much for sendiong this my way. I now have a new weapon for fighting GW2 = WoW clone advocates and fearers. — Wolf 23:24, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, here we go.....

Logic Rant 1: Why One Should NOT Live With Themself

There are many reasons one should not live with themselves. For one, opposites attract, and like repel, most people that have a burning hate towards each other are very similar in personality. Now, if you did live with yourself, eventually, an argument WOULD break out involving the death or either or both of yourself. Now, how do you try such in incident? Suicide? Murder? Well, you just killed someone, but you did also kill yourself, and you’re also dead. Can you try a dead-man? Sure as heck not! Now, this presents a problem, while you may be a dead-man, you’re still walking around, living, breathing, experiencing life, but you’re also dead at the same time, as you just killed yourself. (Still with me?) So, at this point, are you A) undead, B) a zombie C) the living dead D) none of the above or E) all of the above? If you choose E you are correct, your dead, but still there, and doing stuff, but at the same time, your non of them because your still alive. Now, at this point someone wises up, and realizes you’re insane because you claim to have killed yourself, but are still alive, and attempts to kill you, but how can he when your already dead? If he did manage to kill you, how would be tried? Is it a crime to kill a dead-man? It most certainly is, because you’re still alive. Now, I'm sure your head is spinning by now, so grab it, right it, and fasten your seat-belt b/c this just got Physical. Now, Quantum theory dictates that at any given point, there is an infinite number of different "realities" all parallel to our own, each containing the events that would unfold after a certain course of action and a new "universe" is created for each possible action, and the possibilities go ON! Now, if one could traverse these existences, one could meet and LIVE with themselves, thus getting you into the current predicament. Now, Quantum Theory also dictates that one person cannot exist in one space-time, without ripping apart space-time just enough to destroy one or both of you. Lets say only one of you is destroyed before you get into the fatal argument mentioned above, what happens now? Well, you technically just killed someone, but also killed yourself, and we have the exact same situation again. Now, let’s say you clone yourself, does a clone have rights? Sadly, not really. How do you know who is the real you and which is the clone so you know who has said rights? How do you prove this? Now, cloning is illegal, so, Does that make the clone illegal just for existing? How would you try THAT? For the purpose of the law is a clone really a person? No, or else they would get rights just like you. Now, what do you do with a clone, since they aren't considered a person by the law, it must be OK to kill them right? Sure why not. Oops, you just killed the real you and the clone lived. Is the clone a real person now? Does he get charges with murder or suicide? Our earlier predicament resumes. By now you must see that this is spinning in circles and getting no-where like a Mobius Strip. Where is the logic in all this? Glad you asked, its simple this. Don't claim you could be your own best friend, or wish you could live with yourself, because it just screws with life. --— Wolf 02:28, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Haha! So true, mind if I use that as "longest quote ever"? -- Blood contribs 02:30, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Lol, good question. Because thou can never know that thou art thee. also, my freind claims he made this user-box for me for a good reason after I showed that to him, you think it's true?

This user can use logic to make your head explode

Lol, weird things like this happen when I have been left to ym own devices for too long.... — Wolf 02:51, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Exactly =]. -- Blood contribs 03:07, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, is your head still in one piece and attached to your neck? — Wolf 03:30, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

No, I have lost it 3 times today! =\ -- Blood contribs 03:41, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Then it seems to hold true XD — Wolf 03:42, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Hahaha, I guess man. My logic is;

You try hard to read the policies and you accuse people of the wrong thing, how could that happen you might ask? Well it starts off with the userpage which is your own lil playground and then people ask you why you did that and what answer you give to them doesn't seam to sattisfy them. Leading into your own template (mine was smilies that I marked for deletion today), people bugged me and I felt harrassed about it. Lastly being harrassed on my own talk page! Ugh thats my main 3 blow outs today =\. -- Blood contribs 03:55, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Let your words speak where a good user page would, they are your best playground. — Wolf 03:57, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

agreed, I think, you're starting to talk like Yoda! ahh! -- Blood contribs 04:01, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Very wise and prophet-like is Yoda — Wolf 04:03, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Very true. -- Blood contribs 04:04, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Blood's Logic Rant Un-logical rant!

Why one should never play a psp and eat muffins at the same time! Reasons, reasons, and more reasons is all I can say! One should not eat muffins while using a psp; that is a given fact, but why is it a fact and not a hypothesis? Good question! The reason for that is simple, blue berry makes you tired, raspberry makes you horny Oh my god! Don't like at his browsing history.,a certain amount of blackberry makes you have suicidal thoughts, and last; Strawberry. Strawberry is by far the worst because it makes you have hormonal rage, yes that means achine and attraction towards the other gender (9x), so if theres no girl and or boy depending on your gender you have to resort back to your psp which is handheld! Oh no-s, where back at the start again! Muffins = bad, PsP's = Wtf! What are you doing, "Little Jimmy"?. But now what if you throw in bubble gum? Nah bubble gum already has it's own problems. so what have we learned? (A)Nothing (B)Blood you're weird(C)Muffins & PsPs are a bad combo (D) both B and C (E) none of the above. -- Blood contribs 01:57, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

A few problems, no seemingly contradictory logic twists that make sense, doesn't prove a point rly, and your point isnt rly valid..... — Wolf 02:22, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I suggest a name change to "Bloods Un-Logical Rant" hehe -- Blood contribs 02:25, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Armond's Logic Rant

Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, Chef's attorney would certainly want you to believe that his client wrote "Stinky Britches" ten years ago. And they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself! But, ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense! […] Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests. -- Armond Warblade 02:46, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

lmao, starwars gone trail season 1! xD -- Blood contribs 02:47, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

You should umm edit the mainspace a little more dude. — Seru Talk 02:15, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I;ve had trouble finding time to do more in GW than handle guild members and actualy play.... I'm workin on it tho. — Wolf 02:19, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Wow man, lets start that npc project! -- WoB 02:19, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Like I said, lack of solid time.... But maybe. Explain this project — Wolf 02:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

well Emily Diehl is a lil busy with other things so I'm going to ask her if it's alright if we start a project to load the remander npcs...make the images cleaner by removing background and removing background...you know, making it clear. I have already loaded up 4 npcs and I think I did a splendid job ;). Also Seru seems to have the remander of cinematics dealed with =D. -- WoB 02:23, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, If you can get me the images, I'm sure I could work some magic in Paint.net. — Wolf 02:28, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll send them your way as soon as we get the clear for the project =]. -- WoB 02:29, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

KK, you have x-fire by chance? — Wolf 02:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

No but I can get it....I use Wyn's TS and vent =] -- WoB 02:36, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

You guys better be careful with your removing of backgrounds. — Seru Talk 02:37, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Blood, you can almost always catch me on X-fire, Unless I'm not at home or work.

We will be careful Seru. — Wolf 02:39, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeh we shall, I don't want to cut off anyone's hand now =]. -- WoB 02:41, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Turns out there was already a project Guild Wars Wiki:Projects/NPC models we can however take over since it hasn't been updated since July. -- WoB 02:44, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Umm i'd talk to Zerpha b4 you go crazy — Seru Talk 02:56, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I prob should...I never go crazy unless I'm pushed, you know that O.O -- WoB 03:04, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Also, Emily uses a proprietary piece of software that allows her to get the NPC models without any background, so doing it your way wouldn't be quite as clean, although it would help a lot. I'd help, but I'm terribad with Photoshopesque tools. o_O Kokuou 03:14, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Lol yeh, I figured it would be alot better then the current ones, she could always replace them.. I use paint.net. -- WoB 03:19, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Round 2

Second round. — ク Eloc 貢 02:13, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Eragon

who do you think he'll get? arya or nasuada? - Y0_ich_halt 21:35, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Arya. All the way. $10 says she will be the 3rd rider and get the green dragon. — Wolf 21:39, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

might as well be nasuada. she gets the third, becomes immortal and eragon goes with her because arya is too uptight. - Y0_ich_halt 21:42, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Not as much as the rest of the elves. There are just some pieces of the plot that you can see comming froma mile away. Like his sword, and such, Murtagh, His father.... Which I guess right from book 1! =D — Wolf 21:44, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

ya, i knew most of it would happen, too. the only thing i'm not really sure of yet is how he'll defeat galbatorix. most likely the dragons' Eldunarí will get up their last power and attack galbatorix along with eragon. that's my guess, anyway. - Y0_ich_halt 21:46, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Something liek that. For Irony's sake, I hope Eragon kicks Galbatorix in the nuts and then takes off his head. — Wolf 21:49, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Am I the only 1 who thinks Angela will get it (man I love her personality). --MageMontu 21:49, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Probably. Back to earlier, I think Arya will come around, you can aready start too see it in the begining of Brisingr — Wolf 21:51, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I haven't got Brisingr yet D= --MageMontu 21:52, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

=O Get it! Heavy Spoilers could be comming your way btw. — Wolf 21:52, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) (times over 9k) rofl, angela kinda plays no role at all, except spoilering most of the story :P @montu: then leave, we're spoilering it more than her :D - Y0_ich_halt 21:53, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

oh, also, where in the beginning? i only remember they hug in the end. - Y0_ich_halt 21:54, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

When they are on their way back form Helgrind. It's kinda subtle. If Eragon plays his cards right (which he seems to be learning how to) Arya will come around. — Wolf 21:57, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

aah, that one. i like the little gras ship ^^ - Y0_ich_halt 21:59, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. I lol'd at the grass ship, fun stuff. I bet it's gunna show up once or twice in book 4 =D The whole glden lilies was funny too. Those and Dragon Hic-ups! =DDD — Wolf 22:01, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

ya, i love those fun parts inbetween ^^ like in book two where saphira gets drunk. - Y0_ich_halt 22:02, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

OMG! That was funny. (I think that was in book 1. I've read it 8 times XD) And then she demands Ale in Brisingr too! Alcoholic Dragon! Orik becoming king was also easy to see, but not how. THAT surprised me. Brisingr (the sword) is way freakin sick. I wish I had a sword that did that! It's pretty fitting too. — Wolf 22:05, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

i think the sword is kinda stupid. he says himself that it wasn't his own idea. and then he doesn't even find a good way to fit it in. - Y0_ich_halt 12:03, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Explain. I'm sure I get exactly what ya mean. — Wolf 19:41, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

in his comment about the book, christopher says it was his father's idea and he just liked it, so he put it in. but he did a terrible job at that: "oh, we don't know why it's like that. maybe the sword knows it just looks cool so it bursts into flames every time he calls its name!" "oooh, maybe it's its true name! and he guessed it on his first try!" - owait, wouldn't its true name give him ultimate control over it, meaning it would only burst into flame if he wants it to? seriously, that's just lame. - Y0_ich_halt 12:03, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) I think now your nit-picking. XD Every writer adds a thing or two to a book that don't make a whole lot of sense, but they do it just because they can and think it's cool. — Wolf 15:28, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

really good writers don't. C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, Moers (might be you don't know him...), even George Lukas kept in line with his fictional rules. - Y0_ich_halt 14:43, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

and it just makes me feel elite to be able to notice mistakes like that :P - Y0_ich_halt 14:50, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

You're forgetting that this is magic. Not even the elves and the dragons truly understand everything magical that happens in Alagaesia (though the dude in the tower might, if he speeds up his research...), and let's not get me started on normal fantasy magic. -- Armond Warblade 14:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

the point of true names has been explained pretty clearly. you know it, you can control it. giving it a true name as a sword would also mix as it would still have to respond to the true name of brightsteel. and explaining it with "it's magic, everyting's possible" is even more lame. - Y0_ich_halt 15:02, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Do bear in mind that the rules explained apply only to Alagaesia, and Brightsteel is not from Alagaesia. -- Armond Warblade 15:05, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

i bet mr author couldn't have come up with that one. and i think that you could just as well say "physics only apply to earth as we don't know about other planets"... - Y0_ich_halt 15:10, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

no, don't say maybe alagaesia has some strange influence on stuff. - Y0_ich_halt 15:12, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

actualy Tolkien and C.S. Lewis did do a few things because they where cool and they could, but they are much more subtle. But rly man, its a small detail, it's not like he left some massive plot whole or anything. Armond, I think the guy in the tower (forgot his name) knows the meaning of life and everything already. — Wolf 15:26, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

'smatter of fact, Alagaesia does have "some strange influence on stuff". Alagaesia is (or perhaps more accurately exists on) a plane, and each plane has its own rules. What I'm saying is that perhaps Brightsteel comes from a different plane that has different rules. (You want an example? Magic doesn't work on our plane. That's probably the biggest rule difference you'll ever find between two planes.)

Dark, I doubt he knows the meaning of life, but I bet he's on his way to it. What did you interpret the question as? -- Armond Warblade 15:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

As sarcasm XD but that man is on to SOMETHING! I bet he returns to play a mjor part in book 4. — Wolf 15:49, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I has theory, but it could be considered a spoiler to book 4 if I'm right. Want hear? -- Armond Warblade 15:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

If your not privy to inside info, sure, b/c THEN it would be a spoiler. =D — Wolf 15:53, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I suspect he's looking for the name of the ancient language. -- Armond Warblade 15:54, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Lots of people are. That would be no surprise. — Wolf 15:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

How many of them are actually likely to find it, though? And how many of them have seven copies of the Indexing of the Names? Most seekers are hard pressed to find even one copy... -- Armond Warblade 15:58, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Fair point. I would not be surprisd if he is looking for it, but I would be if he found it. But then agian, he does stand the best chance. — Wolf 16:00, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

hmm... wouldn't it make more sense to look for the real name of magic (which had already been found once iirc)? and about his sword: it's still just lame :P - Y0_ich_halt 16:09, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Magic != the ancient language. Subtle but important difference. And I think he'll succeed. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 16:10, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

that's why i'm saying magic. why only the language if you can have all magic itself (which would also influence magical creatures like dragons who don't need the language)? - Y0_ich_halt 16:12, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Simply put, range. The Ancient Language is infinitely more commonly used than magic (if only because all languages are derived from it), which makes it that much easier to affect any given person(s) with it. Also, I suspect the "all languages are derived from the Ancient Language" bit makes dragons not immune to the words. And, honestly, if you've got the sheer power required to cast a spell like that, you may as well go the extra mile and make it easier for yourself. (Even Galbatorix has his limits; I'm willing to bet he could kill himself with a spell based off the word of Magic if he's not careful.) -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 16:33, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

lol, you do know the story says times ago a group of magicians (or was it all the elves and dragons?) actually manipulated magic itself so the ancient language could be used for channeling to make magic available to everyone with the talent? those very proficient in not being distracted don't know to say the words, and beings partly or all magical don't need the language at all. - Y0_ich_halt 17:06, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

i think i got the hermit one out, and i agree with you, armond. he's searching for something's true name (most likely magic or the ancient language). as glabatorix is also close to finding something's true name (as the last ra'zac reveals before its death), eragon is gonna get the info from the hermit while galbatorix figures it out. then they use the result some way to duel, but miraculously eragon is more powerful with it. my theory at least :D - Y0_ich_halt 17:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Shhhh! I just got the book last night, don't ruin it for me! :( Besides, we all know Sloan will be the third rider. After he gets to Elf-land, he will begin a miraculous journey, sneak into Galbatorix' castle, steal the third egg, and hatch a big Salmon-colored dragon with no eyes. |Foul Bane| 00:48, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Sure, 'cept for the part where Paolini's said the fourth dragon will be green. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 01:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

PHAIL! Lol. I figure Arya for the third. It just seems to fit everything. Also, I'd put good money on Sloan not changing. — Wolf 02:02, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Definately Sloan with a Salmon-colored dragon... It's the only logical outcome... But then again I'm still at chapter 4 right now. |Foul Bane| 03:41, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Lol! Have they left Helgrind yet? — Wolf 03:49, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

They leave Helgrind? Alive?! Man, that totally kills my prediction of how this story is going... But no, I stopped just after find Sloan. Actually, I think I'm gonna read a bit tonight. . . Have 5 more hours before I will go to sleep, and nothing else to do in the middle of the night ;-). |Foul Bane| 09:29, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

rofl, link please. - Y0_ich_halt 16:32, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Arya, maybe, but we don't know how long it will take to overthrow Galbatorix. Will it be long enough for it to be Elva? — Ebañy Salmonderiel 16:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

elva will turn on eragon and the varden soon enough o.O - Y0_ich_halt 16:50, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll be on for a bit tonight, then after; we can set a time when you want to roll through this one. uh... i'm also in game as Oh Yo for a while tonight too if you wanna catch me. ※ OhYo 00:37, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Guild Wars 2 Suggestions

Greetings!

I'm writing a canned message of sorts to a select handful of Guild Wars Wiki users whom I believe share a similar passion of mine: exchanging new concepts and ideas for Guild Wars. I chose you by simply jotting down names that showed up frequently in the discussion of the GW2 Suggestion Pages here on the Wiki. If you have no interest in the matter or feel that I'm imposing upon you, I will thank you for your time; please disregard/delete this message. If, however, you do have a creative streak and enjoy sharing your ideas with the hopes that they'll some day be adopted into the game you love, then read on!

I like to think that, on occasion, I have have a good idea. And when it's concerning something I'm very passionate about (like Guild Wars) I tend to go all-out. When Guild Wars 2 was announced back in March of 2007, I was very excited! Here was an opportunity to get some of the features I've really been wanting to see in an MMO integrated into one of my favorite games! The question was, how could I get the developers to actually pay attention to any of my ideas? In my naivety, I began posting them on “Guild Wars 2 Suggestion” topics on several forums of popular GW community sites, only to realize that, as more and more suggestions were posted, my posts became buried. I never got the feedback I desired (were any of my ideas even good?), and I could only assume that ArenaNet would have a slim chance of coming across them in all the drivel and flaming that accompanies forum topics.

Disheartened, but not defeated, I decided that I (and many other creative minds) needed a place where they could post their ideas without them being buried... where other players could easily vote on them, and post suggestions of their own! Thus, I created a site called NikiWiki. Unfortunately, either due to my requests for fansitedom going through the wrong channels, or a lack of understanding on ArenaNet's part, NikiWiki never really took off. At around that time ArenaNet set up a “receptacle” for posting Guild Wars 2 suggestions here on the Guild Wars Wiki. But I saw this as only a tiny step up from posting in forums. How does anyone know what new ideas really matter to the players?

So I've decided to take another stab.

I'll spare you any further ramblings, and introduce you to the Guild Wars Feedback Community. All I'm asking is that you take a few moments of your time and visit the site. Create an account if you wish – everything is free, there is no spam, etc... there aren't even any advertisements on the site. I do all this simply out of my love of the game, and a selfish desire to see Guild Wars 2 become the ultimate MMO!

The GWFC is not perfect by far, please understand that it's currently in beta. I hope that with some input from like minded individuals, this site can become a valuable resource for the developers at ArenaNet and folks like you and I who need a creative outlet. Feel free to criticize (constructively or not), make suggestions of your own, or brow-beat me in any way you feel necessary. I've set up a topic for GWFC site feedback you can use, but feel free to write to me on my Wiki discussion page, or holler at me in-game. Thank you for all of your time, and I hope to see you on the Feedback Community site!

Sincerely,

Mash the random page button, fix typos, expand stubs, do whatever. What's stupid is that you need the edits before the stage begins, because that just screws over people like you who weren't aware they didn't meet the qualifications. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 05:19, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

if you're browsing with firefox, poke's contribution counter might help:

entering that into the url/uri bar will give you a nice window with the numbers of contributions in each namespace. - Y0_ich_halt 12:34, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

you have government class? gosh, what would that equal for me then... social studies? politics? they're not teaching us how to rule a country here in germany :P - Y0_ich_halt 23:37, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

It's more of a study of government. How it works, ect. I'm owning the class to =D It's nice being the "good student" as I can goof off and stuff in class and take little heat for it. — Wolf 23:47, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Core i7

I'm not sure how many computer hardware junkies we have roaming the wiki, but has anyone seen the specs and benchmarks on Intel's Core i7 procs and was only scared away by the price tag on them, a x58 mobo, and DDR3 RAM? — Wolf 23:20, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

[1] No benchmarks currently. Dominator Matrix 23:24, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

LIES! Even their lowest end totlay owned the QX9775 for the most part. I am thoroughly impressed. The price tag is the only thing thats holding me back. — Wolf 23:26, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

QuickPath alone is a good argument for it and speeds the computer up a lot. But until Core i7 is ready for "normal" people who won't pay 400+€ for a chip and until there is enough supporting hardware available (chipset, mainboards, RAM), it will take a while. poke | talk 23:33, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, Im gunna stick with some high-ish speed DDR2 and a Q6600 for a while until there is actualy something to use that much system resources. Altough, I can't wait for i7 to hit, as prices on everything else are likely to fall through to floor, maybe putting a QX9000 proc within easy grasp =D — Wolf 23:36, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

This is like a whole other language O.O. . .hehe, judging from it's specs a price (for those who care about their budget) it seems alot better then AMD 64 (which I have but mine is Anthlon xD). -- WoB 23:52, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Dude, when the low end i7's pwns the face of a QX9775 for MUCH less, you know your set. Now, if only X58 came in DDR2 flavor..... — Wolf 23:56, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

You know, that is impossible :P poke | talk 08:11, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, too bad tho. I'll keep dreamin... — Wolf 22:29, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Core i7's are quite the overclockers, the 920 hit 4Ghz easy, but much more than that was hard to crank out. The max stable speed optianed was 4.27Ghz. Seems to be a hardware barrier as it takes significant increases in voltage and massive increases in heat output (still within safe working ranges) to get it any higher, but at that point, it is no longer stable. Source The 920 looks like a Q6600 all over again. Once 8 layer PCBs and DDR3 RAM can be cheaply manufactured, it looks like the way to go. — Wolf 15:28, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

"Seems to be a hardware barrier" - that's why they stop to try to increase the clock rate and increase the number of cores instead. poke | talk 20:30, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Consider QX9770's have reached speeds of 5+Ghz under Liquid Nitrogen and such. Low-end chips have never been the highest clockers of the bunch, they're built that way on purpose. — Wolf 22:40, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Isn't is always? Or is that just another deception? O.o Logical paradox! Have you read The Silmarillion? I need to go back and re-read all the books, it's been a while, and I realy did enjoy reading them. — Wolf 00:14, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I've read almost everything of his works, although there might be an obscure publication I've missed. So that's the Hobbit, LotR, Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, History of Middle-earth series, the Children of Hurin... I'm a total nerd that way. :)

Occasionally I pick one of them up again for another read. I discover some new aspect every time, it's amazing really. Collecting all his works sure is hard work though! -- Elv 00:22, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I haven't read enough XD I need to pick up the book of lost tales after I finish Atlas Shrugged and maybe Shogun. I REALY have my work cut out for me XP There are very few book's I've actualy read multiple times, the only ones being The Inheritence Cycle and LotR + The Hobbit. The Silmarillion was one of my hardest reads ever tho, and I've read some tough stuff. There are so many names, places and people to keep strait, but I realy enjoyed reading it and felt quite accomplished after finishing it =D — Wolf 00:26, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

The Silmarillion took me 3 months to finish the first time through, but I read it in two days straight the second time. Once you get past the mass of names you'll find that there is a lot in there to enjoy and admire. The Book of Lost Tales is more confusing, because that's ultimately what the Silmarillion and everything else started with... even more names! It's a wonderful read though. :D -- Elv 11:54, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, even after my 8th time through Eragon (yes, that many times XD) and Eldest, I still pick up on small things here and there I missed the last time. I realy need to re-read a lot of my Tolkien, It's been a realy long time. The one thing I cannot seem to get ahold of though, is a copy of Morgoth's Ring. — Wolf 19:00, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Morgoth's Ring is quite possibly the most popular book of the HoMe series, I found that it was often sold out. Ended up getting a lucky copy from Waterstone's. You could try their online shop (linked it with amazon I think), or the online shop of Barnes & Noble. Both are excellent resources for this sort of thing, so you might just succeed with those. I personally found MR an amazing read, especially the Laws and Customs among the Eldar, and Athrabeth Finrod a Andreth. When you do manage to get your hands on it, I'm sure you'll see why. :) -- Elv 21:53, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure I will =D It's on my list of things to buy after I finish sinking all my money into a new desktop XD That and replace my trashed paper-back copies of LotR + The Hobbit with some nice hard-back/leather-bound copies and actualy buy The Silmarillion and the rest of his works. XD It continues to surprise my how far Tolkien's work has seeped into modern culture, most notably fantasy literature and a good many games. Quite a bit of fantasy draws from LotR. It saddens me that so few people actualy bother to read the books now, heck, or even watch the movies. Oh well, that's what I get for being stuck in a lousy high-school, but thank God that's going to change at the end of the school year =D What I realy need is a set of his complete works. It;s realy bugs me when I have a set of books all the by same author, each one with a completely different cover style and such. Me being OCD and all..... — Wolf 22:15, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I totally know what you mean there! I hate the look of some series I have assembled randomly, and it took me forever to complete my HoMe set, not because of the availability but mostly because I insisted on a certain edition. I managed to do it in the end though, which was quite a pain considering the fact that it's 12 volumes AND an index... -.-* Looks awesome though. I have several editions of Rings. One of the early ones, which belonged to my parents, the limited edition 50th anniversary one (a gift from my fiance), the Alan Lee illustrated edition (birthday present)... and a set of paperbacks in French for the hell of it. Have a few editions of the Silm and the Hobbit as well, and 2 editions of the Unfinished Tales. My Tolkien collection does not fit on just one shelf and I'm actually proud of that! :D -- Elv 19:06, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Wow, that's pretty impressive =D — Wolf 23:37, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I guess so. It always makes me happy just looking at it. Took me forever to read everything through, though... xD -- Elv 14:19, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

But it'salways worth it in the end. Something nice about being able to put on some music, have my headphones block out all distractions and get completely absorbed Tolkiens phantastical, detailed and almost other-worldly discriptions. — Wolf 21:26, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm always amazed by the sheer imagination of this man, and moreso for his ability to bring it to life for other people. I wish I could write like that... unlikely, though. I've yet to find an author like him. I always hate it when they put "blabla like Tolkien" at the back of fantasy books. None of those ever come close, so it's such a cheap exaggeration. Not to say there aren't good fantasy books, just... they get a little too happy throwing the comparison about. When I see it, I tend to go "as if". >.> -- Elv 21:37, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, Although Christopher (getting book out to double check spelling) Paolini's stuff has a bit of a LotR-ish flavor to it. I start reading and it reminds me of LotR. Tolkien is just so easy to get lost in. I started reading RotK one night, looked at the clock later, and found it was the next morning and I was late for work XD — Wolf 21:52, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

I've not actually read any of Christopher Paolini's books. I think it's because the film they made was so immensely off-putting (even though it had Jeremy Irons!) that I couldn't get myself to pick up the books. For all I know those are way better, but I just can't seem to motivate myself to go out and get his books. I've actually picked up Terry Goodkind's series again just recently. He's written a few really good books, and some bad ones. I like the Sword of Truth series well enough, but a few years back I got so tired of the Cold War trauma undertones that I needed a break from it. xD -- Elv 22:26, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) OMG! The Eragon movie SUCKED! Jeremy Irons was good for Brom (didnl;t fit discrption but meh) and that was about it. I read the books BEFORE the movie. Easy read, but a good one. I;d say do it =D — Wolf 23:42, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you know a movie really sucks if even the likes of Jeremy Irons can't save it... I'll give the books a go then. Which one is the first one? I think there's Eragon and Eldest ad probably some others, but that could be just me mixing up titles and authors again. It happens sometimes. ^^ -- Elv 15:45, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Eragon, then Eldest, then Brisingr. Brisingr just came out back in September. It's a four book series. But man, they screwed up the movie on SOOO many levels.... You'll know after finishing Eragon XD — Wolf 19:50, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm... looking forward to that? xD -- Elv 20:15, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

paolini even screwed up the book series :P the first one was meh already, but this third one is made of fail on a totally different level. the books are really only readable because the story is kinda interesting (even if nothing new). if i needed good literature, i'd trash it immediately :P - Y0_ich_halt 14:51, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

It's not tolkien level or anythihng, but it's an interesting read. — Wolf 21:44, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

If I needed literature, the fantasy / sci-fi / horror section of the local bookstore isn't where I'd start looking for it anyway. Thus far I've only found a handful of authors that I'd consider deserving of having their books labelled as literature, and Tolkien is actually the only one I think that most people in my field actually agree on...

Then again, I've had to read some literature for my studies that was complete and utter rubbish, sometimes up to a whopping 1800 pages of it! Just goes to show you that the amount of enjoyment you can get from any given book is not easily defined, and literature certainly has very little to do with enjoyability, usually. :) -- Elv 22:13, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

does Goethe's Faust qualify as fantasy? xD - Y0_ich_halt 16:06, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes and no. We wouldn't use the term for it, although I suppose in a way it would apply (possibly "horror" would suit it better?). Goethe's Faust is more in line with the theme of works like Milton's Paraside Lost than it is with any given run-off-the-mill fantasy novel, though, and that's just one aspect. It's classified as literature, and although it's a very broad term and comes in many forms the labels within literature work differently. Spencer's Faerie Queene would certainly fit into the fantasy label, for instance, but I don't think anyone in the literary world would ever use that particular word to describe it. (Personally, I'd stick with "tripe" and be done with it. >.>) Eh. My explanation sucks. I think you get what I mean though. Once it's agreed on that something is literature, it's usually not the content but the form and style that determine the description and label. -- Elv 22:05, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, I started Atlas Shrugged today. Boy am I in for it XD — Wolf 22:37, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
