Hello all, I (rarely) maintain the Imperium wiki. I created it back in 2018 (wow, 4 years flies by) when I first started on the server. I mainly created it to hold information that was easy to get to without digging and searching through the forums. I added to it as my characters progressed through the game.
The server that hosts the wiki was due up for renewal next month, and I decided not to renew. It's the only thing on the server and wasn't worth the increased cost. In the meantime I decided to self-host the wiki. You may have noticed recently that the theme changed a little and now it uses dark mode as the default. There were some glitches with old links not working, but I think I sorted that out. By the way, if you don't like dark mode, there is a gear icon in the upper right that lets you change some settings to your personal preference.
To be honest, I'm not sure how useful the wiki is to players. It mostly takes information directly from the forums. I do fill in some of the gaps as I play on my characters, but I don't update it very often because I play off and on (mostly off). Also, there is a lot of high end content I have never played because my characters aren't that strong.
Currently I'm playing again so I'm interested in updating the wiki again. I'm look for some feedback.
Do you find the wiki helpful?
Is there information you'd like to see on there? Is there information that needs to be corrected/updated?
Are the forums good enough and there's no need for a wiki?
Thanks for any feedback you have.

>Do you find the wiki helpful?
Yes. I use it a lot - mostly about tower spells, since I know by heart most of the lower-tier stuff aside from it.
>Is there information you'd like to see on there?
Whatever you can add is awesome. May have some more input here at another time but can't think of anything off the top of my head.
>Is there information that needs to be corrected/updated?
I'll be sure to let you know if I find any.
>Are the forums good enough and there's no need for a wiki?
I think most newbies would probably prefer the wiki to start off with. I know I would. The forums are great but you do have to dig around to find what you're looking for a lot of times.
Forum is a bit of information overload, IMO. Wiki is easy on the eyes, and I noticed the change with it the other day. Love the dark mode. White pages hurt my eyes these days.
>Also, there is a lot of high end content I have never played because my characters aren't that strong. >Currently I'm playing again so I'm interested in updating the wiki again.
If you need/want any help, don't hesitate to ask me if I'm on. Malk is my main, and Gorg is my name on discord. Happy to help you see whatever areas of the game you've not seen so you can add to your wiki.

Update the III info with the convert-a-tron guy in #zone 345.
Ornament-stat information (i don't think there's a label/title for that kind of thing, we should think of one)

Thanks for the feedback! I'll look at updating the III info and think about an ornament page. I haven't really looked into them.

I am new to the server, and i would love to see each epic on the wiki. Think it would help people make decisions on classes to play or just what kind of upgrade it will be

Epics are progression/clickies only these days. You can get much better stats on weapons from the bazaar.
Not that it's not a good idea to have them on the wiki, just that the reality is you'll likely never equip an epic unless you're a necromancer.
