User blog:Orc King/The lonely pages of Grandia Wiki

When I took over Grandia Wiki a few years ago it was because it was in great need of help. Only a few pages had been made and it was visually boring. I can hardly say that my time since then has been nothing but work on the site but I'm proud to say that I have made it a much more acceptable wiki.

I feel that I have been fairly good at managing the wiki so far but I simply cannot write all these articles myself. Now, there have been a few visitors to the wiki - some have stayed a while and worked on an area of interest. Some merely notice a missing letter and do a quick fix but no one has really stayed with me this whole time.

Now, I am by no means a super wiki God - I don't code or do all the little fiddly things. Anything complicated I have to adapt from other wikis and it can take me a while to adapt but I don't mind. I am very proud of Grandia Wiki - it's like my own personal Grandia fan site. But you know what makes a good fan site - I'll tell you...FANS! I am one fan, but I want to move into the plural.

I do hope that there are some people out there that come to Grandia Wiki occasionally and, like little nymphs of the night, observe but never touch. That way, I know that there's someone here at least to read this appeal. Hey guys, you like Grandia, I like Grandia - let's be friends and help grandia together.

You know, if interest in the wiki grows, maybe the game industry will begin to notice this great series again, huh?

Now, this isn't a one way thing - I know it's not much but I've spent the last few days working on making achievements for the wiki. So now, you get a little badge when you do so many edits, or add so many pictures, or are the lucky 1000th editor, etc! It's like the fun of getting game achievements but you're also making me happy.

But I must warn you, there is a leaderboard ranking the people with the most achievement points on the wiki...and guess what - I'm winning. In fact, I'm the only one on the board - can you just imagine how great that feels. Perhaps I'm so good, I pre-emptively have blown away all the competition...ha ha...but seriously, get achieving and get editing.

Come on, I know someone cares, so if that person is you then DON'T DELAY, get on down to Grandia Wiki today and do your bit. Yes, it's only a game, yes, it's only a wiki - but it could be so beautiful.

OK, I feel a bit weird now after writing all that highly emotional...stuff...so...please...AVENGE ME...
