FFXI Players Guide

[Dihlyte]

Wouldn't it be better just making a guide on one of the community wiki pages (BG-Wiki for instance) ? I doubt a lot of new players visit t these forums.

My aim is to create a guide that is comprehensive, to the point, and contains information on a single page.

I notice BGwiki/FFXIclopedia prefers to spilt their information on as many different pages as possible, and likes to include additional information such as a missions release date, optional dialog, etc. My goal is again, to create a comprehensive and to the point guide.

BGwiki stated to me personally that they prefer to keep things how they are so I chose to make a guide here.

Once I finish the guide (at least the missions) I plan to share its existence with others.

There are also no adds on the official forums.

Additionally, those sites allow users to edit the work of other users, and I would not like to spend the time editing something to have someone go back and add more information that contradicts the purpose of the guide itself. (The point being comprehensible and "to the point" style guide.)

My point was more, about how many players visit the forums. I never hear people suggest it. It is either the wiki sites or ffxiah. Not the official forums.
But I'm not telling you what you should and should not do, if you want to keep it here, more power to you?

What did "BG wiki tell you"? Just to confirm what the issue is. There may simply be a misunderstanding.

I say go for it, if it makes you (and potentially others) happy. Some people may find your guide easier to read. What's to lose if you enjoy doing it?

Not sure how many bots read guides though.
