In addition to the other problems that we've been having major electrical problems in our community. Inconsistent electrical supply is leading to interruptions and surges. No matter how great the surge protector is, it's not a UPS.  With only one donation received to date since we went online we've not been able to afford to acquire a UPS for this server.  What does that mean to you?  In a few days the server may be going down until I can afford to buy a UPS.

Welcome to the New Mirror of the Eternal Lands Wiki, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki] for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMORPG MMORPG] ''[http://www.eternal-lands.com Eternal Lands]''. This wiki is maintained and enhanced by players of ''Eternal Lands'' and was originally started in 2006 by the Fellowship of the Celtic Woods (FoCW), and taken over by Ermabwed a few years later. Due to an upgrade of that server, the wiki stopped functioning correctly in March of 2020. Thanks to a herculean effort by VinoVeritas, we now once again have a functioning wiki. Links to the forum still link to the original wiki forum, which was also corrupted. A workaround was provided by burn, see below. Since no database access was available, usernames and passwords could not be transferred. This is currently still a work in progress.
 
For now, please contact Maxine if you have issues or questions.

== Welcome ==
==== Forum access ====
Welcome to the Eternal Lands Wiki! It is intended to share information about Eternal Lands. The idea of a wiki is that everyone can take part in it's development, so create a user account and start editing (or adding) pages!  Please inform DragonCairn, in game, about your account, and your desires to assist.
* Game ''secrets'' and other information, such as most [[Quests]], are not visible unless you have an account on the old [http://smf.el-wiki.net forum].
* Your account name '''MUST''' be your character's name in ''[http://www.eternal-lands.com Eternal Lands]'', and it must be activated by a forum moderator before you can log in. Your account will not be activated if your character's name does not exist in ''Eternal Lands''. (see [[forum:567]])
* Your forum account is separate from your wiki account.
 
=== Searching the wiki ===
If your browser supports [http://www.opensearch.org/ OpenSearch] (Firefox and IE do) you can add "Eternal Lands Wiki (en)" as a search engine to your browser and search the wiki using your browser's search box.
 
Your browser should provide an easy way to switch search engines (Firefox has a drop down menu right next to the search input field) and should provide an option to add a new search engine in the same place (again, Firefox does this, if IE is different please add the appropriate information here).
 
=== Request for Admins ===
Wanted: People interested in doing administrative duties on the wiki. Payment - a sense of accomplishing something for the public good. Contact techsto[at]planet[dot]nl via email.
 
Duties include: Verifying that the name registered is a true player of Eternal Lands ([http://game.eternal-lands.com/view_user.php?user= http://game.eternal-lands.com/view_user.php?user=<USERNAME>]) then setting up the privileges (non-el if not an existing character, editor if an existing character).


== Index ==
=== Issues with the Old Wiki Forum User Interface ===
We are still trying to figure out what might be of interest. If you come up with a good idea, just go on and create it.
The wiki forum layout of the original forum is messed up, but you can log in and then access information, e.g. on quests.  
So far the following big topics are planned:


* [[Acronyms/Index|Commonly Used Acronyms in Alphabetic Order]]
Burn has provided a workaround for issues with the wiki forum, see http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?/topic/61491-how-to-fix-the-broken-el-wiki-forum/

Welcome

Welcome to the New Mirror of the Eternal Lands Wiki, a wiki for the MMORPG Eternal Lands. This wiki is maintained and enhanced by players of Eternal Lands and was originally started in 2006 by the Fellowship of the Celtic Woods (FoCW), and taken over by Ermabwed a few years later. Due to an upgrade of that server, the wiki stopped functioning correctly in March of 2020. Thanks to a herculean effort by VinoVeritas, we now once again have a functioning wiki. Links to the forum still link to the original wiki forum, which was also corrupted. A workaround was provided by burn, see below. Since no database access was available, usernames and passwords could not be transferred. This is currently still a work in progress.

For now, please contact Maxine if you have issues or questions.
