Fan Networking
Speaking of fandoms, has there been any attempts for the English language fandom and the Japanese fan community to communicate? I grant that there is a language barrier, but surely there must be fans that are fluent in Japanese, or English, so as to facilitate communication? I plan on making frequent visits to your talk page, to discuss many things.ClickWhirr (talk) 22:09, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

None sofar. I have no idea where the japanese community resides on the web. In the west we have the fanbase spread around Youtube, Tumblr, deviantArt and Facebook so if a forum was started we would need to communicate that fact on all those channels, but finding the Japanese peeps is a little harder. Nonetheless, they have also developed more extra content and finding them would be beneficial.

Unfortunate Mermaid (talk) 17:34, April 1, 2013 (UTC)

They probably have their own networks and services, so it would be difficult. However, the person behind "Hero" (whatever your opinion on that work) has been in close communication with Torotoro. The latter being in the doujinshi scene, I would not be surprised if he has a direct relationship with the fandom. Perhaps he might give some suggestions and leads. The benefits are potentially enormous, including the development of better translations, reliable news, art, and even collaboration on fanworks.ClickWhirr (talk) 17:51, April 1, 2013 (UTC)

I'm more in the mind that the Hero idea came from a few traded emails to see how the copyright stands rather than a close connection seeing that the developer seemed to pop out of the blue on all channels quite late into the series' development., I do know that DGate is a Japanese developer (the one behind the Cecil scenes) that is fairly close to MGQ in some sense and has links to some of the artists used like FRFR. Failing that, the Linemarvel forums are also a good place to find the freshest links/leaks from Japan and (if you can stomach it) 4chan.

RE: Tidying Up
Was gone a day so late response:
 * 1. You can hide the contents list on a page with the command or move it with  (this will move the Table Of Contents to that location and will overwrite the NOTOC command)
 * 2. I think the side stories pages needs a revamp anyway. How about, instead of sorting on the stories on story-name, sorting them on author with three special groups for:
 * ♦New / recently updated stories (at the top and always un-hidden)
 * ♦Stories included with the (translation) download (like the battle sample's)
 * ♦Stories by unknown authors
 * 3. For the items, you can indeed put them on 1 page and then group them by type (as they are grouped in categories now)

< Cleaning up this page, talk was getting out of had about a not-talk page subject (infoboxes for re-appearing characters), moved the page to here>

Made changes to my template and uploaded it on the same spot (here). Main changes:: I hope this already completes your request that you posted on my page
 * Tabs are re-nameable and fight 3 and 4 are optional (not 2 else you would use the normal version ofcourse).
 * All the items that are in the default charbox are now also in the template, mostly changeable, except for a few that are always the same.

Categories
Why did you remove a Humans: Chapter 2 category?--ALAKTORN (talk) 23:47, May 5, 2013 (UTC)

Same reason we deleted the Monsters and Angels: Chapter 2 categories. We have a category for humans as a whole which seems to do the job.

Unfortunate Mermaid (talk) 23:52, May 5, 2013 (UTC)

Monsters and Angels: Chapter 2 weren’t removed, they were replaced by the Monsterpedia categories. Still, I don’t really have a strong opinion either way, unless somebody else has got an issue with that I guess you can do whatever.--ALAKTORN (talk) 23:59, May 5, 2013 (UTC)

Likewise, I'll replace all character related categories with a similar format, only to cover all races by chapter, rather than have "Human" and "Human: Chapter #". It's just shuffling some catergories around. It's a shame that we can't rename categories or this would have been a lot easier.

147.197.190.90 09:47, May 6, 2013 (UTC)

Please,tell me how are you got the translated version of DL site.And also,how can I make word links in text (e.x. Death Sword Chaos Star letters are highlighted when hover over them,blue,and lead to Death Sword Chaos Star page)? (sorry for incorrect words,if such is in this message)

Nearly Time
Hey Chapter 3 is nearly out as for now, and i got a question, Is it possible to make something like timer which will count down untill the chapter 3 release?

Safin117 (talk) 22:59, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

There is a way, however we need two bits of code, one being some js code. I'll see if I can have a look into it tomorrow.

Unfortunate Mermaid (talk) 23:24, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

Already found how you should do it :)

go to this page (locked for me so I can't myself) and add: importArticles({   type: "script",    articles: [        "w:c:dev:Countdown/code.js"    ] });

Then on the front page add: Only June 01 2013 00:00:00 +0900 until the day of the release of Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Should be released within the next 24 hours!

If it works there should be text below here: Only June 01 2013 00:00:00 +0900 until the day of the release of Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Should be released within the next 24 hours!

Oh sweet but why does it says 30 days left? game comes out at 1 of june:D?

Safin117 (talk) 16:40, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Done. :)

Unfortunate Mermaid (talk) 16:54, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, i knew how to fix it actually but i tried five times and everytime there was a warning that in order to make an edit to this page i need to be registered user and as far as i know im a registered user and i was logged in so i dont really get it...oh well:D

Safin117 (talk) 17:02, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Whoops, made a typo, fixed it

New Page
Monsterpedia: Chapter 1 can’t you just put that list into the category page…? Having it redirect seems useless.--ALAKTORN (talk) 19:35, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

I've been experimenting with both. The only thing on the category page is the thumbnails that come up already, I'm not sure how to get rid of them. Otherwise I'll happily move it over.

Unfortunate Mermaid (talk) 20:34, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

chapter 3
Hey there i just want to ask if you need any help with chapter, i bought the game before but i wasnt able to do much in here as i had 8 people in my house(little party:D) if you need any help youst tell

Safin117 (talk) 21:26, June 1, 2013 (UTC)

Will do. I have no idea how we're going about things at the moment. I think we're collating info in the spoilers forum while 'Torn and 'Riffic are adding images and working on the monsterpedia profiles.

Unfortunate Mermaid (talk) 21:34, June 1, 2013 (UTC)

Oh btw do you know any link for that crige/crass program to extract all the stuff from arc.nsa files i lost my copy somewhere

Safin117 (talk) 21:47, June 1, 2013 (UTC)

Look up nsaout. Be warned though, if you have antivirus on it won't be useable.

Unfortunate Mermaid (talk) 22:17, June 1, 2013 (UTC)

Hey. Saw you picked up the third game already. I have spent a good portion of the day playing it as well. Finally seem to have gotten stuck.

Don't want to accidently spoil anything so I will be vague. Alma Elma 15,000 hitpoints and I'm stuck. Any tips?

108.91.32.60 00:40, June 2, 2013 (UTC)

Matt

I am barely into the game myself and am stuck on A-3.

Unfortunate Mermaid (talk) 01:10, June 2, 2013 (UTC)

Why you forbid asking for download link of Chapter 3? Alex06121999 (talk) 12:06, June 2, 2013 (UTC)

Wikias policies extend our policies too, so we cannot use this site to traffic or supply links to pirated content, unless you want Wikia to shut us down that is. We have supplied links to buy the game legit on an English site, the game is not expensive so there is also no excuse at all to be asking where to get the game by other means.

Take note that Rogue also deletes pirate links on his blog too, so we are not alone on this position.

Unfortunate Mermaid (talk) 20:31, June 2, 2013 (UTC)

... I got it ... Alex06121999 (talk) 09:05, June 3, 2013 (UTC)

Safety
Do you know if the site from the link:English language fansite of MGE is safe?

Define "safe".

It's safe to use, I'm also a member. As for being work safe, the images aren't usualy risqué but the text can be. It's worth checking out as KC has some new monster profiles on the way.

Unfortunate Mermaid (talk) 10:46, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

i am the admin on my pc and i dont really know how to awnser how i am altering the files i can give examples though

if i go to add a side story of after i have exited the game ( with my saves) i get a popup saying some files were altered do you wish to save, this is where i encounter my problem thank you for your help

Sorry for troubling you but can you just delete the second thread the on that say's "where is that damn engilsh patch!? I can't play this without it !! hurry the hell up please when will it be release!" I don't really know what is going on but there too many flames that's for sure.

I was only sharing so I don't really care for Mirrored Shadow smart comment what it seem to add fuel to the fire (personally I have something better to do than flame someone so I have not touch that small comment Mirrored Shadow made).
