Interwiki linking added
We've added the ability for users to easily link to other wiki projects on their pages using interwiki linking for both UnionVerse and VirtueVerse. We've also added interwiki prefixes for a few other popular City of Heroes wiki projects like Paragon Wiki. Check out the brand new help page on Interwiki Linking for more details and a list of available prefixes.
Interwiki Help Page: http://union.virtueverse.net/wiki/He...erwiki_linking
Put shortly, interwiki links will allow you to more easily link to content on other wiki projects.
I am looking for some feedback on the help page, I want to know if you guys find it understandable, or if its completely and utterly confusing. I'm working on rewriting much of the help/tutorial content now based on survey feedback so far so any feedback you guys can give me is awesome! -
I'm a bad admin, I forgot to post this here the other day when it was announced.

Nice. I'm definitely a fan of Virtueverse and have used it quite a bit. Looking forward to seeing who wins. -

Stuff like this would also be very useful for quadriplegics. They could eventually have tech that could steer their wheelchairs around without having to blow into a straw, or they could have a cybernetic hand and could flip the bird at people that piss them off
Cool tech almost always has weird beginnings.

You should totally join the Virtue Server.
Just saying. -

Is it safe to assume that if you got a prize the email would come after that?

Thank you Ran for coming up with such an awesome idea and getting us involved.
As for the drama, people differ on opinions you may not like the artist but that doesn't mean others don't. IMO don't listen to it because there is always going to be someone trying to bring you down.
Keep going with it Ran, I think you're doing a wonderful job. <3
No worries I enjoy doing this kinda of stuff to much to stop.
Deadline to enter on this contest will be June 1 @ 1200 EDT as a fyi, I'll update the OP, can't believe I forgot to put it there. -
Quote:I updated the OP and noted that it is temporary.Originally Posted by Omega_Chief
Currently @Ly. @Kallandra and @Zortel are okay to handle invites, but as said we should be back to open soon enough.

Quote:Well if you decide to edit any content again be aware you may need to re-register. Most* of the content came over when the site was migrated but there were reports of missing content and some large images weren't migrated in. But I've added lots of nice new features since the site was moved. Part of this survey is to gauge the reception of those items and get some feedback on some newer stuff moving forward.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
I think it's great ransim's doing this - it's a nice little bonus for asking for some feedback. (I haven't updated stuff in a while on VV, so after seeing the first few questions I'd be answering "I don't know" for almost everything. Besides, I've already got a ton of artz with more on the way, so I'm not tossing my hat into the ring here. It's still a nice offer, and I hope the people chosen enjoy it.)
And thanks I meant this wholly as a big thank you to the users for blowing 15 minutes for me on it. Well and its a great way to promote some artists as well.
Never a better time then the present!Quote:Originally Posted by Goblin_Queen

Quote:Whats your global? I'll add it to the OP for now. We apparently posted at the same time.Originally Posted by Omega_Chief
Due to recent issues that may/may not have promted a certian post that may/may not have promted this post, Union RP is temporerally set to private.
It should go back to public soon enough though, until then ask for an invite via /t or on GGOOC I guess. -
Quote:Updated the OP, I'll do some checking tonight to see if I can get a point of contact there along with RP Virtue.Originally Posted by Bright
As-of... well, about two minutes ago... Union Roleplayers is coming up as an "unable to join" private channel.
GGOOC does seem to be open, though. I had no trouble joining that one with my new stalker. -
I started up a thread for a Roleplaying Global Channel Listing.
-
In an effort to help consolidate the list of RP global channels I'm starting this thread and will update the OP as needed with global channels as people recommend them for addition.
Please only submit global channels that are focused on roleplaying specifically and please denote if they are cross server or dedicated to a specific server.
If your channel is private please provide one or two point of contacts (POCs) for invites.

Roleplayers - Open global channel for city of heroes role players.
Virtue Verse - Open channel for VirtueVerse and UnionVerse users for discussing the site and RP/stories related to the site or on the site.

The wrong side :P It's still an American city. (Which is why early EU beta calls to replace the US flag with an EU one were laughed at.)
As for a thread for open channels, that is a grand idea.
RP Virtue - Private but I see if I can track down who the POC is for the channel for invites.
Virtue Verse - Open channel for VirtueVerse and UnionVerse users for discussing the site and RP/stories related to the site or on the site. -
Quote:And for those people who actually use the VirtueVerse or UnionVerse Wiki websites there is an open channel:Originally Posted by Robot
Virtue:
General Chat / Multipurpose
Comic Books - (Open) General chat about comic books and comic book culture
Roleplaying
Virtueverse - (Invite Only) The League of Extraordinary Roleplayers on Virtue
Specialty
PDX - (Open) For CoH players in Portland OR and the greater Pacific NW
/chan_join "Virtue Verse"
Guess I know now who has the VirtueVerse channel.

Quote:I've actually gotten some weird latency and bad pings times on Union myself, and I'm in the eastern EU and have no issues with Virtue so maybe a issue on the server itself.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Huh... Odd, then it must be something else producing these ping times. I wasn't aware of this change of location. I still don't intend to play on Freedom or Virtue, however, unless they did something big to prevent prime time high ping times.

This is a nice feature. I'll create a login today and add my toons soon.
Pft, I get the same feeling sometimes when I see the templates I've made verses stuff that Always and some others have made. I'll always be more of the code monkey myself then a designer. That said however, practice makes perfect and I always encourage people to keep trying with things, different perspectives and all. Wikis by their nature are meant to be collaborative efforts in all aspects.Quote:Originally Posted by Crazy_Dragon
Even against other pre-merge Union templates, a lot of mine are somewhat sloppy, unfinished and pretty much ended up getting trumped by a lot of Bunny's efforts within months anyway.
Then came the flood of new shinies into the Union Handbook. :\
I actually wish the administration could be a collaborative effort >_< -
It might be useful to have a thread here in the Roleplaying area that is stickied and lists all of the Open global channels focused on RP or some element of it across servers now that we're one big happy server family.

Quote:There are always people willing to help out too if you need it. Feel free to toss me a PM here or post in the handbook thread in the virtue forums. There is also a help area on the VirtueVerse forums.Originally Posted by Jophiel
I play on Virtue and always toyed with the idea of trying a VV page but never buckled down to do it. I suppose this should motivate me to give it a whirl.
If you've already got stuff written up its actually really easy. -
Quote:Well thats definitely awesome news!Originally Posted by XFUNK
Pretty sure the zone and league were both full.
Thanks! -
Quote:How many people did you have in the league?Originally Posted by XFUNK
One of the latest patches cleared up some league issues, we've used the league on Pinnacle for a raid and it went fine.
I'll have to see if I can recruit enough people to try testing it. No one is doing hami on Virtue now though thanks to the iTrials.
I'll continue beating the dead horse for the red side raids on Sunday though and dragging people kicking and screaming to do them. -

Very cool.
I'm just too lazy to actually take the time to set up the many pages I would need :P -
Quote:Why? Some of the templates on Union are awesome (though I admittedly haven't looked at all of them).Originally Posted by Crazy_Dragon
Suddenly I feel that even thinking of touching my (admittedly) half-done templates would now be an exercise in "why bother?".

They were providing the occasional play by play of the event itself for the few hours that the event was going on. I personally thought it was awesome.Quote:Originally Posted by Ashtoreth_NA
They were listing sports plays? Petition it. Complain to the company. Somebody thinks they're being cute and it ain't. -
Hey guys I know some of the VirtueVerse and UnionVerse users are around here more then in the threads for the site and its on topic (art!) so I wanted to post it here to invite people to participate.
Original Announcement: http://forum.virtueverse.net/index.php?topic=99
Deadline: June 1 @ 1200 EDT
Win a Custom Art Commission
In an effort to gauge the opinions of you, our users, I've put together a user survey to get your feedback on a number of items related to VirtueVerse and UnionVerse. The survey itself should take about 15 minutes, and as an incentive to complete the survey I'm going to be offering you five chances to win awesome custom artwork from five amazing artists for one of your characters. See below for details.
If you are interested in the details of this contest including the rules and more information about the prizes please visit the original post on the VirtueVerse Forums.
Artists include:
We'll be doing more contests and offering more prizes (definitely more art) in the future so keep your eyes peeled! Contests in the future will involve writing contests and other more creative endeavors.
If you're a player on Virtue or Union and haven't yet used VirtueVerse or UnionVerse we invite you to check the sites out and look into creating your own character bios, this is meant for all server users not just RPers! The contest is open to all users old and new (including brand new)
And a gigantic thanks to the artists who agreed to take the commission for the contest, they're all awesome and even if you don't win I suggest checking them out for commissions.
