User blog:Orc King/Not so lonely & Grandia ReDux

Well, I'm sure those of you that read my last blog post are aware, about a month ago Grandia Wiki was very quiet to say the least with only me pottering round making a few changes here and there. You probably also know that this is no longer the case.

The contact with Grandipedia was a great start in spreading our roots and being recognised on an international scale (In fact, I was rather flattered when the owner of Grandipedia recognised me just by my user name)!

We have also seen the return of some of our valued Grandia Wiki editors, namely Samoth, Boomerang Flash and Goo Rayder. This is exactly what I was hoping for to re-ignite the wiki. Thank you all for the edits you've been making. I look at them all so be careful!

On another note, some of you may have seen the patched version of the original Grandia on the internet called Grandia ReDux. This version of the game is a fan-made attempt to make the game more challenging and fixing some errors in the original game.

I have been playing through the first disk of Grandia Redux and have already noticed the increased importance of healing and defending in battles. This certainly makes such things more meaningful and my gaming experience so far has been enhanced. By the way, I've just defeated the Orc King - I know that's not far but I've been trying to talk to almost everyone possible during the game so far, which really slows you down.

But why am I telling you this? Well, I wanted the community's opinion on whether we should have a page for Grandia ReDux. Some other wikis have pages for mods and I feel this is quite a significant and important version of the game. I would obviously make it clear that this is not an official patch and put it in a different category but I want to know what you, as a community, think (since we now have a community again!)

OK, there's some things to think about. Have fun, keep contributing and keep chatting!
