replies: text:  It is a shame that the good information that wikipedia had about the game is gone. Seems odd that there are pages and pages about  different TV shows, but something with as much depth as this Role-Playing Game isn't allowed more then one page. Did they feel that this was some sort of marketing ploy by White Wolf? Or just that it was not very important?--Alabrax (talk) 17:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

message: According to the current version of the article, "The Primordials took the unshaped chaos that was later to be called the Wyld, and with a single blow from Authochthon's great hammer, forged the world, called Creation.". Was the origin of Creation retconned, and, if so, can someone provide a source for this? As of 1st edition, Creation was made by the Gaia and Cytherea. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 08:15, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Moreso, Creation is Gaia, and might also have been part-Cytherea before the Primordial War. I went ahead and deleted the reference. Aprogressivist (talk) 14:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually according to Exalted Author Michael Goodwin Gaia is not actually Creation, not in the same sense that the Unconquered Sun is actually the sun. --Alabrax (talk) 16:30, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

text:  Point of pedantry – the Unconquered Sun is not the sun. The Daystar and the Incarna himself are separate, though linked more than most gods and that which they represent. 87.194.82.149 (talk) 12:22, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

text:  Actually, you're both right. This was retconned. So when Alabrax made his statement, he was right. When you made yours, you were right as you came out after the Daystar articles screwed up the setting's original metaphysics. 147.240.16.59 (talk) 17:55, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

replies: text:  Most gaming articles on wikipedia seem to get by with 1 or 2 disclaimers in the whole article, or at most, 1 per section. I'm just saying it's overkill.  66.188.98.83 (talk) 12:44, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Fixed the history section which read incoherently before.  The previous version went from talking about sales, ranking on Amazon and market, to the era of the current Exalted game - the Age of Sorrows - and how they seemed to be somewhat linked to the old World of Darkness and the new World of Darkness, and then back to talking about the market percentages; and all of this in one huge paragraph.
So as you can see in the link I cut out the lines talking about the links between AoS and oWoD & nWoD, then pasted it back but in it's own paragraph below the market percentages, ranking and all that.  So there shouldn't actually be any information missing, just rearranged into a more coherent read.
However, now that I'm thinking about it the "history" section seems to be too broad. It not only touches on the history of the company (which includes Exalted, but Vampire as well) but also the history (or really the "links") from the AoS to oWoD & nWoD.  If that's the case the data on the company seems that it should be moved to either its own section or to the White Wolf page itself; and the "history" section should be changed to the something like "possible links between AoS, oWoD & nWoD" (or something like that).  Because it's not really talking about the history at of Exalted (the first Primordials all the way to the Age of Sorrows), and the first part seems to be talking more on the lines of popularity of the game.  I'd rather someone who not only does a lot more editing but actually likes editing Wikipedia to do that - lest I invoke the wrath of the edit gods.-- Frosset Mareritt 05:42, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the second paragraph is off-topic and should be cut. IMO the history section should be expanded to cover the game's development history. Exalted was originally intended as a direct World of Darkness spinoff, set in a much earlier age, however during its' developement, it became a separate setting. Unfortunately, this is from memory, and I don't have any citeable sources to back it up. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 06:55, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

text: I also agree that the second paragraph should be cut from the history, and as one of the authors for the previous version of the history section, I thank you for cleaning up the information I contributed.  When things calm down a little from running the Exalted Wiki Contribution Contest and trying to get one of White Wolf's new freelancer blogs, I'll probably come back and do some more editing and consistency formatting like I used to.  But, I want to say thank you to everyone who's helped to make Exalted a much better article.  ––   BodhisattvaspathTalkContribs   13:33, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I visited this page today to, as a gamer that has never used this system, get a sense of what the main features of the system and setting are... After having struggled through a fair chunk of the wall-of-text that is the article I am not sure that I am any wiser on the topic. Is there any chance that someone who knows this game well could add in a more succinct summary of what Exalted is all about and/or clean up the dense prose in order to make it more readable? 165.118.1.51 (talk) 03:58, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The article makes no mention of Onyx Path Publishing with the exception of a single link to Onyx Path's website in the reference section. As the company producing Exalted 3rd edition (not to mention the rest of White Wolf's 2012/2013 line), shouldn't there be at least some mention of it? --BBM (talk) 06:38, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
