I personally enjoy the podcasts quite a bit, especially now with the two new hosts so that it's not just fusion talking to a wall.

Hmmm. Just downloaded your podcast to see if it was the streams compression and everything sounded fine, so I listened to the stream again and everything still sounded fine. I must have just been tired last night because it sounded like there were some fluctuations in the voice audio.

Oops. To be clear, I didn't mean a google search, but a google search look (i.e. simple search section with minimal main page frills).

I think the search engine is actually pretty good and fully predictive based on created pages. Also, as before, the wiki has the info, and has more than any other site. I like criticism, but for criticism of content I'll need better info to see it.

I've had problems with the Search, and usually try to predict what the article will be called if I want any kind of results. It's not the worst, but I am Google spoiled. I think part of the problem is that the results often include code - that's very confusing, and I tend to breeze over it.

As far as content goes, it depends on what you're looking for. I typically turn to Gamerescape first if I'm looking for battle strategies (can I solo this quest?), but have found most things only include Journal entries and if I'm lucky a brief idea of the strategy. At that point I turn to YouTube and just watch videos of the fight.

Journal entries aren't exactly my idea of helpful content (I've got it in front of my face in game), but I understand that it's a wiki. I don't hold you guys responsible for any lack of content I may run into. It's the usability of the site I find an issue. Personally, I would be more prone to edit and create wiki entries if finding my way about weren't such a nightmare, which makes me wonder if that's the reason more people aren't doing it.

Unfortunately I have the same complaint, and it's probably just due to the lack of contributors.

I always liked having the short testimonies people left on FFXIclopedia pages to look at. Stuff like "duo'd with some difficulty by a DNC and SCH," or "easily beaten with 4, BLM WAR DRG BLU." It made it easy and quick to get a good idea of how my friend(s) and I could low-man through a fight.

For reasons stated before I believe it will be sometime before people really can contribute in
any meaningful way. due to this game being in a constant flux of changes.

first off i want to thank Gahoo for that incredibly detailed post

i am a big supporter of mooglebox for many reasons, but i also am for multiple websites, because it gives life to a game many more are starting to feel dead

i will take a look into the wiki more now. and contribute where i can

thanks very very much for the heads up, and dont worry about derailing a ZAM thread. this is the kinda stuff i was hoping to accrue from this topic ^^
