Hello! It's been a long while
I realized that it has been ages since I posted a blog up. So much has happened that there was hardly enough time to keep up. The game had a drastic shift at the end of April. Many players left and many stayed, but warily. The changes wrot in the game had dire consequences for the wiki. So much of the information we had compiled changed in a single update. Finding these changes would have been costly for the wiki team. Rebuilding buildings to find their build materials, quest requirements changed with no way for us to revisit already completed ones, expansion costs escalated so there was a huge gap between the have and have nots, ruby cost buildings that took a huge nerfing and payouts were suddenly less than regular buildings (I st…
That was so very NOT what we meant by get your rocks off your neighbors.
So it's been about a month and we hope everyone is settled in and familiar with how to use the wiki and where to find us if they need to at the NRC Gazette . It is an interesting idea that from the comfort of my livingroom (it's a very comfy livingroom) I can reach so many people. Although this wiki is open to all, I must admit that my goal was to help out my beloved Gazetteers. We have always maintained doc of info for our members in our Facebook group and in my mind this was just a prettier way to do it. I'm not sure what Phae had in mind. She dreams bigger than me. Later she plans to take over the world while looking pretty and taxes shall be paid in chocolate. I'm not surprised that people outside the NRCG use it. I would be mo…
Launch? Yes! No! Wait! Yes!
So having spent two weeks working on getting at least a functional wiki up and running, we come to that point where we have to decide to let everyone else know what we have been working on. Is it ready? Is it not ready? Will our information get too stale if we polish the pages more? Speed over elegance? It's been a very loose secret. Not a secret at all to anyone that asked where have we been during the first stages of the games release. I lag behind in the game, but that's normal. Phae stays near the top. Maybe not quite as tippy top as normal, but as normal as her timers can keep her. I think we have really enjoyed setting up this wiki. We have high hopes for the game and hope this site proves useful to our group members. Vau…
Boldly Going Where No Gazette Admin Has Gone: and without even drinking...
Clearly drunk on the success of boycotting Fantasy Garden, the previous Gazette fan page game, we start up yet another of a series of Gazettes we have nurtured. This time for New Rock City. Oh the excitement of getting in on the ground floor of a game on the first day. "A wiki would be awesome for this game.", say Phaedrah. "Yeah it would really help with knowing the recipes if your building is busy.", says I. This being our 5th? Gazette together, we somehow felt we should go one step further, just a little bigger and came to wikia.com and began a wiki. The blind leading the other blind, confident that we could make a mess of just about any coding necessary. Well not strictly true, with the game just starting up we really had no mat…
