Will there be an area to view our achievements and the ones we have yet to earn? I figured the Hall of Valor would be an excellent place for that, and was actually kind of surprised to find they...

Touché. What's your opinion on Bannerwiki/Bannerpedia? I'm not too fond of either; they work but they're not very original.

The Mediawiki installation guide notes that "MediaWiki can be difficult...

If the wiki were to be part of stoicstudio.com (e.g. wiki.stoicstudio.com or stoicstudio.com/wiki), then in search engines they would basically "share" PageRank, to a certain extent. That is, links...

The "ideal wiki" I had in mind was one that is officially endorsed but not really officially run. That is, it would be made by the community and policed by the community, with Stoic existing as a...

I've got some Wikipedia experience and some experience building a wiki out of nothing. As far as the sliding scale of "overgrown bureaucracy" to "Wild West" goes, that's pretty much both ends. :p I...

If the two alternatives were to be a vBulletin wiki or a Mediawiki with a userbase linked to the forum, which would you support?

As for control, I don't really mean as in "open-source". Rather, if...

There are some extensions for Mediawiki that add a better editor, like WikiEditor. That makes editing more accessible, I think. I think a full WYSIWYG editor is probably out there, too--one benefit...

I just sent an e-mail (not having seen your reply yet).

I'm not sure what the big benefit of running it inside vBulletin would be, though. It'd also be something most people would be unfamiliar...

Setting up a MediaWiki is fairly simple, I think, and well-documented. Getting the hang of all of the extras that can make it better might take longer. But I imagine something similar is true of...

Now that we're almost at full launch, are there any plans to remove the Steam requirement?

I think a certain degree of sexism is fair, in light of the society the game depicts, but I do hope the game won't fall into stereotypes like "guys smash, girls shoot". So far, we've only seen a...

Would it be feasible to move the wiki to Mediawiki software instead, and host it independently? I think it'd have a lot of benefits: most of all, control over every aspect of the wiki by the...

For some strange reason, I was reminded of Katara, instead:

I know there's a lot of tabletop fans on the forums; do any of you like Ars Magica? There's a Kickstarter for an Ars Magica video game going on right now. With seven days to go and being only a...

Well, I do like that system. :) But that's also exactly why I don't want characters to die in combat, as that definitely feels like an "incorrect decision", not just part of a greater plot.

From other comments, I got the impression that everyone will be able to use their own crest. However, for non-backers, it's only visible to themselves. Is that true, or did I just make that up...

Same here. If characters could die permanently in combat, I would be constantly save-scumming to make sure I didn't lose anyone, and that'd take the fun out of it. It's much better if death comes...

Just a hunch, but perhaps ð is not a supported character and it defaults to your e-mail address? Try a regular letter and see what happens.

Because Factions is a multiplayer game, and each player uses an account, there is no need for DRM. Stoic could have used the forum accounts for in-game accounts, and forum accounts can already have...

I don't personally see much merit in Steam's features. Given that I don't want to use Steam, it seems wrong to be forced to use it. It also prevents me from installing games where I want--that's not...

I think most of the radical changes will occur in the beta stage, so by the time people without beta access start playing, they'll have a game that's mostly stable.

As someone who enjoys grumbling about Steam (grumble grumble!), I was wondering whether there's any way to play without it. I'm fine using it to download stuff, but Steam (grumble grumble) has...

First impression: needs a better icon, or rather, a higher-quality one. There's visible pixelation at the moment.

That aside, I'm loving the game so far. The art is gorgeous, the animations look...

If you were anything like me as a child, you spent countless hours on the Flash game, Motherload. Well, now there's Super Motherload! Basically, it's Motherload designed as a full desktop game, with...

That is an amazing screenshot, now I'm even more excited about the game.

For the record, I think the bear's name should be Jojo. Or, as to be more Viking-themed, Jojomungar.
