I guess I should add more links to the wiki pages explainig what POTS and CC are. I am so used to these terms I keep forgetting that new players will not know them ;-)

Deep Island also supports the Drizzle'd ages, and it comes with the MOUL-ages pre-converted. So what do you mean by saying "it comes with Drizzle?".


EDIT: Okay, I added some more clarifying links to the Deep Island installation guide and the TPOTS instructions. Whystler, would these links have helped in your confusion? If not, please tell me how I can improve the documentation so that new players know what I am talking about :)

I see. Well, Deep Island has them to :D . The Shards are very much similar so it boils down to a matter of taste or trust or... whatever ;-)

Thanks to you all, I am now in the Deep Island Shard!

Yes, thank you Diafero, clarifying those titles helps a lot. I can see that when you are used to referring to something that is known within a community it is easy to forget how the outside world won't understand what you're talking about lol. I have done this myself a few times. Whenever a wiki page is written I would suggest any acronym be followed by a bracketed expansion on it's first mention of the page. Then the rest of the page can continue using the acronym. That way you are covered and if the reader is lazy enough to skip or skim the first part, it's entirely their own fault. When I don't understand something I read, I generally will go back and comb through it carefully from the beginning just in case I missed an explanation.

This is why i decided to take you through my journey, as long and convoluted as it was, so you could see through my unknowing eyes :)

Thank you, we need this feedback to see where the documentation is still lacking :)

Also, good to see you made it!

Hey Diafero,

So sorry I missed you in the client when you said hello. I was away from the computer for a bit getting lunch.
