Thread: The future of the DE 101 Thread

Hey everyone.


A few months back now, I stated that was working on trying to bring the DE 101 thread update. Well, as of my last reformat, I lost all of the notes that I was putting together to rewrite the guide.


I have decided that rewriting the guide is too much ofa majorundertaking for me to accomplish at this point in time. Between taking on the Test Center Correspondent mantle, putting together and supporting a city/guild, testing publishes, forum trolling, and something else that I am forgetting about...oh yah....real life (as if I had one), the rewritting of the DE 101 guide is beyond my current abilites.


So, what I was wondering is if anyone else would like to take on the challenge of taming that beast. I can offer any suggestions or research to the person(s) that decide to take on the task. You have my complete permission to use any section, in part or in whole, if it helps in the writing process.


If anyone is interested in taking on this task, please feel free to contact me.


For those that the guide has helped out, I am glad that you found it of use.


For those that were hoping for the updated version, by yours truely, I'm sorry if I let you down, but hope that you can understand and forgive me.

Perhaps have sections done by different people. Then everyone gets to offer something to the guide and it will be more of a community document


Just an idea .. working on the guide as a whole would take some real time spent on it reviewing and adjusting each element (eventually). It might speed things up if it was sectioned and each section worked on separately before a single person ties it up and puts it on the forum.


Also, may be a good idea to add in a changes section that reports each publish/patch that affects an area so everyone can see when something changed. Good for those that have been out of the loop for a while.


Now, if you had asked this nearer to xmas I would have jumpedat it as I have a 3 week holiday in colorado then and will have ample time on my hands then while my fiance is working But even so, if no-one else has the time to spare on it I could try for some documentation time. But I'm sure there are more eloquent writers out there and someone with a better chance not to slip into english speak during the documentation

I'm willing to work on it, but I can't promise how quick or slow it would be. I have some RL issues going on as well.

i would love to help out but with 2 kids under 3 the only time i get to work on it would be at work, but they expect me to be working at the time.


I do like the spliting up of the DE101 and sharing the load. i would definently like helping in that.

if you still got the drive and you havent filled the harddisk again you could try a program called "Restore2000" it can restore formatted data and even some corrupted data too. Rather nice little proggie. Not sure if its free tho, but im sure you can afford it.

Thats assuming that I don't 'scrub' my drive before I reinstall.

What about using THIS to work out the data over a period of time, then copy and format it, then paste it here?

That site looks cool but seems to be targetting the combat related occupations. There doesn't seem to be any link to crafters and the like

I can offer up help for bits and pieces, but I'm a bit too swamped right now to take on major parts of it.

I was actually going to get started on it tonight, I don't think it will really be that bad.


The problem is though, I know the state of Droids very well, but I don't have a clue what is intended and what is not. Is the new Combat droid system working right? Is it a bug? I hear we have a revamp coming, will that be next month? 6 months from now?


Jenden, I'll do it, but I don't wantto have to redo the dang thing every week Have any guidence?
