Wouldn't it be a better idea to only have basic information about the game on the first page, and then have links to larger pages that hold information about "KRU Interactive", "Clans", "Subpaths", etc ? Think it would be a little more organized then --DarkMaverick 09:05, 19 Jul 2005 (EDT)

Yeah, Kru Interactive info should be moved. The whole page should really be an outline (as the rest of the page is)--Zaventh 22:00, 24 Jul 2005 (EDT)

I think we should revise the Kru Interactive part so it doesn't break Nexus law 84.6 (revealing the identities of immortal characters). Yes, it would be nice to have that kind of detail in this wiki, but we'd probably benefit more by complying with the laws so that the website can be promoted (or at least mentioned) in-game.--PhantomSnake 14:05, 25 Jul 2005 (EDT)

This is more a question of the original mission of this site than anything else. While on one hand I would want this wiki to contain as much applicable information as possible about Nexus, my original intent for a site such as this was to be a complete game resource for Nexus, not necessarily a complete history of Nexon/Kru, their employees, their company information and etc. It's like you going to a fan site for any other game... You'd find purely in-game information, not anything about internal employees, nor would you really want to. I think that discussing too much outside the scope of the games itself may really go out of the bounds of the mission of this wiki, and therefore I would want to keep it Law 41 compliant purely so our affiliates can feel comfortable linking to or referencing the wiki and also so it will have high visibility in the game to newer players. Comments welcome.

You posted on NexusForums that you wouldn't make it a necessity to keep this law 41-compliant so we could talk about what actually happened in the past, and what is actually happening (aka with Marama). Not to mention NexusAtlas says "Orb / Dave Kennerly" in their credits. So you most definetly need to leave =that= in. All in all, you need to cut the crap and make this a real wiki. No "omg kru might not like me anymore". We have 2 news sites, we need something where we can freely discuss nexus. /-,iro




I had posted that originally because I was undecided about my intent with this wiki. I of course want it to be as all-inclusive as possible. I didn't want to have to start restricting content either, which is "anti-wiki" I guess. I also didn't want it to be watered-down simply so Kru would approve of it. However, my original idea for the site was to make a wiki about Nexus the game, not about Nexon or Kru Interactive.

I have considered the requests of those who wish to not see this site Law 41 compliant. Most of these requests focus on a single point: being able to reveal Immortal character's indentities, which was argued as a important part to really tell "real" Nexus history. Honestly, though, I believe it is not very important to know who plays or has played Immortal characters. Sure, there as been drama within Nexon and its employees that affected the game, but I feel that is entirely out of the scope of this wiki. Secondly, just because you can't reveal Immortal character's IDs, doesn't mean you can't discuss Immortal characters. Whenever someone says "tip", we all know who you are talking about. Knowing who tip's other character is, or who he is IRL, is irrelevant. This site is not a news or gossip site. Its purpose is to provide the most extensive and dynamic information about NexusTK gameplay.

Really besides this there is no other laws Kru requires that would hinder this wiki in any way. You already can't harass or use profanity, regardless of Law 41. As long as you don't do that and don't reveal Immortal characters, the site is Law 41 compliant. It can still contain a wealth of highly accurate information about NexusTK amd Nexus game history. I have been going back and forth on this, but I am going to officially draft in the Guidelines to not reveal Immortal character's IDs. This will ensure Law 41 compliancy.

If anyone makes a mistake, they won't be reported. Their post will just be reverted to the last good version.--Zaventh 22:35, 25 Jul 2005 (EDT)

Revealing GM identity= no breach of nexus law

Uh, David Kennerly makes no effort to hide he was ORB. In fact he uses it in his resume quite often ^^ Also, "Wony" makes no secret he is Mr. Lee. Why would he? He's the President of the company, not a volunteer player trying to hide their player identity.
