EQMac.com

Thats like the questycaptcha. I've seen those used on other wiki's before also.

Could add random questions that people playing the game should know.

Like a question could be "Where do the Vah Shir live?" Shar Vahl as an answer would allow account creation.

Those types of questions are typically a bit weaker security wise than say reCaptcha but they still stop a lot of the automated bots. I think its a little more fun than solving random strings of numbers and letters. Even if its easy questions it still relevant to the games lore.

Fixed a lot of links on the main page today as well as added some content.

Started work on a Fan Art / Creative works section for EQMac.

found a lot of interesting videos and pictures. I'm sure there are more out there, please add them so we may all enjoy the works


I'd never seen this video myself and I really enjoyed it. I also linked some of the artists everquest pictures on the fan art / creative works article as well.

I've added some old PoP wallpapers to the Fan Art section. There have been a plethora of bot accounts being added as of late, and a few wiki one-post spam bots are sneaking it. (The spam articles are being deleted pretty quickly, though.) The main page seems to be a little wonky at the moment (broken code).

You're right biertrinker, the eqmacwiki is all borked atm.

Idk why, and I can't really edit anything with the way it is atm.


This is what shows up when I try to open the website, It's the same on different web browsers so I know it wasn't just one particular web browser.


Warning: require_once(/home/content/74/4817774/html/wiki/extensions/ConfirmEdit/ReCaptcha.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/74/4817774/html/wiki/LocalSettings.php on line 174

Maybe somebody it toying around with adding a ReCaptcha but didn't install it all the way. Or maybe the media wiki code needs updating, idk what version the eqmac wiki currently has but I think there is a minimum version requirement to use the captcha's

Aye, hopefully Zamiel can unbörk it. I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of process implemented to impede all those bot-created accounts from showing up. But that's just because I look at the list of recent changes list pretty frequently.

While I'm not active on the server, I imagine that most of the information on EQMacWiki.com is fairly common knowledge to most of the population of Al'Kabor. I'm just supposing this based on the posts I see on the forums. Most of the new players are folks who used to play on the PC servers a decade ago or more ago. (I had started in 2002.) I still enjoy contributing what and where I can to the wiki.

I've started working on a user friendly format for doing gear searches. It's possible to do searches without these links but I'm sure many users will find it easier than having to manually type in search parameters in the special wiki format.

For example, the new format allows you to see all the Bard Piercing weapons sorted by DMG, ratio, str etc you could just click a button and it would show you a list. The same with any other equipment slot / stat also.

Here is my rough draft of a set up. I'd like to work in some pictures or color scheme at some point.

http://www.eqmacwiki.com/w/Bard_Equipment

you can reach the article from the main page then clicking sort equipment by class and then selecting the class you are looking for.

you will see links for the other classes but the only links that currently work are on the Bard ones.

It will be really easy for me to convert that format to every other class. The only thing that would need to change is the word Bard to the appropriate class and all the searches will run correctly.

I've put the resist stat searches on those links for now. I'd like to make a Resist Article that talks about how resists work in general on EQMac then have the sortable resist equipment searches below the description of Resists. I'm just not sure if Resists work the same as they do on the PC side. If somebody has a good resource for Resists could they please add it to the wiki and Ill link up the equipment tables.

I could do the same for Haste gear if somebody has a nice resource on how Haste works on EQMac or would like to create an article.

Cleric Equipment Tables are up.

Damn! That's sweet! Please do wizard if you don't mind. I'm sure ALL the classes will want that though.

_________________

I intend to do all the classes eventually. It just takes time and can be rather tedious.

Here you go though, Wizard equipment tables up !!

http://www.eqmacwiki.com/w/Wizard_Equipment

YES!!!

Just noticed Zlandicar's heart wasn't showing up for health regeneration for wizard. Also, we lack the AC revamp items, but have the old inner AC ones instead. We also have the Hollow Acrylia Oblesik which is broken, but if ever fixed a very nice item, but it's in slot: Held (not many there, basically keys only, and this one with stats and a regen focus (broken).

Thanks again though. Already made plans for gearing...

_________________

If an item is missing from the equipment table, it means there isn't a corresponding article on the wiki.

update.

I forgot to mention that if you add an item to the wiki, all the tables are automatically updated.

Druid equipment tables are up!!
