This page should not be speedy deleted because I want to help the game I am playing to gain more players. I am at work and don't have time to really edit everything. As I write this, people are reading on the forums of the game to help develop this page. Could we get a bit more time before this pages gets speedy deleted? This game just got a lot of attention from players from EVE and I want to help them. If something is not on the wiki it doesn't exist :) --Norrdec (talk) 14:55, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

It is a work in progress. We're working on it now but it will take some time.

I dug up the name of one of the game groups active members and dropped him a note.

The main complaint is that there aren't enough articles referenced. That is partially due to your inexperience in building such pages and also due to the editors lack of understanding on the topic. It is rather apparent that they don't know diddly about on-line games of this nature and you did not provide many external links. (they do get a boatload of "it'll be out in 50 years!" type postings and "existed once upon a time - in my imagination anyway..." type crap.)

The fr.wikipedia stub, plastik.hr - their review. mmorpg.com's sponsored forums as well as their articles. tentonhammer's articles, etc... This is a multinational/multi-language game aimed at a specific segment of the gaming population ("sandbox"). With few such games on the market, it is important that such things be seen and covered but don't expect a stock wiki cleanup editor to know the difference about various MMORPG's. The article you built - albeit cleanly done - was slim on references.

Again, I dumped a request on an active member of the video games team and we'll see if he gets involved.

PS: Nice job on the article, it looks pretty clean and shouldn't need 50,000 reference links just to prove it's a viable choice for inclusion.

As per Eleazaros's request, I've had a look at the article an tweaked a few of the obvious things. The main problem with the article is the references. They all point to the game's own website. MMORPGs are not my strong point, asking at WT:VG would be the best option, and specifically ask about what would be regarded as a reliable reference for a game from a developer where English isn't a native language. As new articles go, its a good one. Its just the lack of reliable third party references that let it down. - X201 (talk) 15:08, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

EuroGamer as a reference. That's more like it :-) - X201 (talk) 07:53, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
