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.


el-wiki is now replacing focw wiki.
Please add any bug reports to my talk page: [[User_talk:Takiro|Takiro]]

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.


Note:

  • This wiki is not officially sponsored, supported, or sanctioned by the Eternal Lands or any of their staff.
  • You are allowed to post the root URL (https://el-wiki.holy-eternalland.de/) in official chat channels in the game. However, do not post pages containing spoilers. Posting general info such as links on how to make various items is OK.
  • Game secrets and spoilers do not belong in the wiki. They go in the forum and are not visible unless you have a username and password. New usernames and passwords cannot be created on the old forum!
  • Before registering to edit pages and/or access the forum, see the "Read before registering" section below.

As the game is ever-changing, this wiki is always in need of being updated, corrected, and enhanced. In short, your editing contributions are appreciated! There's also a way of contributing financially, the details of which can be found on the site support page.

If you experience problems like missing images/functionality or general problems, please send an e-mail to techsto[at]planet[dot]nl.
