Talk:Mu Online

message: Is it really necessary to include fansite links in the article? As far as I can see they don't add anything to it and it just feels like ads.--Overcow (talk) 17:33, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fansite links 

message: Some issues I'd like to see cleaned up here. I marked this thing with  and  for the following reasons:
* There's a few cases where the article goes a bit advertisatory like "Mu runs in a OpenGL engine, allowing lot of old computers playing in the great graphics at immersive experience." Bah, computer games have offered "immersive experiences" since 1992, what's so special about this? =) Just one example of all that. Also, some inapproriate tone, not really that much though ("...for extra fun...").
* This article is HUGE and I think a lot of stuff about this could be cleared up - don't just explain what Mu Online is, explain how Mu Online is different from other MMORPGs and the rest will follow. For example, now there's an example on how the noto system works ("Outlaws and Heroes"); a lot of other games have had one too (Ultima Online, anyone?) so all you need to explain, in basic terms, is how it works on general terms. You don't need to expect that the reader has never heard of MMORPG terms. You're looking at an encyclopedia. Use some cross-references and links.
* The item section is a major bore, if you don't mind me saying. People come here to get a light overview of some things, not detailed examples on how some things work in the games. They come here to see "this game has some 'leet items, such as (a couple of examples)...", not complete description of the whole shebang. Wikipedia is not a game guide; such information might be more appropriate for Wikibooks.
The article needs some simplification in my opinion. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 13:45, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Firstly, Wikipedia isn't meant to be used to advertise. The concept of having a link to a good private server isn't a bad idea, but considering that everyone has access to editing Wikipedia's articles, things could get out of hand; all server owners would want to post their private servers here to leech from Wikipedia's huge amounts of traffic.Sampalmer4 05:34, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There are very few pserves that even stay up for a notable period.  There are maybe 1 or 2 i know of that have been up for very long, and I doubt they'd come to wikipedia to advertise since theyre already quite large, so in the end, pserve links shouldn't be here. --Prod-You 03:26, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  About linking to specific private servers

replies: text: To note, he is talking about FrienzMu.  I am somewhat against the fact that you are using sourceforge without sharing any source but it is a fairly large server so may be notable.  I am moving it out of the official section though, since it isn't official.  -- Prod-You 17:17, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't think any private servers deserve specific mention, just perhaps a mention that this game attracts a lot of unofficial servers. When you say features that aren't in the official server; you're only talking about K2's "global" server; which is behind the asian servers anyway. you have to remember that although the most played in the western world is global, the asian ones do have support for these new features before you and theirs actually works well because it isn't hacked up from a very old file set to imitate features which that file set doesn't support.--KX36 (talk) 08:03, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Advertising 

message: Why is there nothing in this page about criticism of this game, this page strikes me as a little to commercial...almost like an advert for the game rather than a wikipedia article. i would write one myself as i used to play the game but i am not yet that confident in my writing skills. some topics which could be put into the criticism section could include lack of questing and other methods to add to the storyline, general repetitivness of the game as well as the levelling difficulty which is far more difficult than in other games. --  Zendainc 17:06, 27 march 2007 (PST)
:Have you got any published criticism to cite or just your own complaints. I can barely find anything objective published at all about this game.--KX36 (talk) 07:44, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

message: :Image:Muonine.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Muonine.gif

message: There are a few mentions through the article of three "seasons"; but no explanation of what this means. I assume it means major revisions of the game. I think someone should write a history of the game with what's in each season. This should be very feasible as if Global is on season 3 now as the article seems to suggest, what's in season 1 and season 2 should be unchanging. This could be as simple as lists of features added and removed during seasons 2 and 3, but would have to have some prose about season 1 (i.e. anything before season 2).--KX36 (talk) 08:12, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed there was an editor removing links to K2 Network from Mu Online.  If they are no longer involved with the project (and their website doesn't indicate this), that's not the appropriate means of saying so, especially if there's no reliable source claiming this.  Rather, they need to be listed as a former publisher, along with a link - and even so, they don't aren't necessarily delisted from the infobox.  
As a side note, there's also no need for the large number of external links to the individual site.  This is about Global Mu Online, and the translated versions can still exist on the forign-language Wikipedias. --Sigma 7 (talk) 17:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
