guildwars.wikia.com VS wiki.guildwars.com

Which site do you PREFER & why?

Like most of the guru users, I use both of these 2 information sites. In general, they both have "essentially" the same information, where one is the "Official Site". While we do find occaisional inaccuracies on either/both, they are usually corrected accordingly. AND when the "Official Site" is really borked, even ANET refers us to the "Unofficial Site" http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ldwars.wiki a as opposed to just telling us to wait until the "Official Site" is fixed.

Personnaly, I have found that the quildwars.wikia.com site provides "better" information in many ways. Just to name a few: schedule of Zaishen Challenges, schedule of WiK quests, detailed analysis/predictions of Nick items, various "glitch projects (eg: portal jumping), well thought out contributions on discussion pages (as opposed to typcial post bashing in wiki.guildwars.com disucssion pages)...

GWW because that's where I troll.

wiki.guildwars.com

I'm more established there.

TY... my serach apparently didn't use the correct keywords to find the existing trhead. Mods Pls close

I use both, I find the talk pages usually have slightly different information.

I prefer the official wiki. Ever since the unofficial wiki switched over to wikia, it began to run extremely slow on my computer. I'm just not a fan of wikia as a whole I guess.

Both are bookmarked in Firefox. I prefer the unofficial one though.

Guildwiki (unofficial) for me.
Simpler site, more details where I need it, and I like the armor gallery setup better on there than on the official wiki.

The official wiki is better organized and the writing seems to be of much better quality. When I need basic info such as a list of monsters in an encounter and their skillbars, that's where I go.

wikia on the other hand has alot more good info to the powergamer, listing exploits, bugs, and tactics.

Overall I use the official wiki more nowadays because all the dungeons and missions are over with and all the effective tactics I have stored in memory, all I really need to know is the occasional monster bar.

I still do the wikia for the zmission/nick request schedule though.

i like them both because they both offer different things. if i want to see armors i go unofficial. nice pop-up expanding pic windows as opposed to a new page. the info is more detailed as well for more obscure stuff. if i want lore or anything post eon then i go official. war in kryta is a must there. 7 day forecast for upcoming dailies is a MUST on wikia.

They are both wiki's. They are both maintained by "wikians." They are both pretty bad.

I like the skills and elite skills layouts a lot more on the unofficial site. Othewise, i typically go to the official one because its at the top of the google search list.

The unofficial wiki is almost always better imo.

I prefer the layout of skill information and listing of the official wiki. I haven't found any reason to view the unofficial one yet.

I see nothing in that link that puts an employee of ANet in the position of recommending the use of the unofficial wikia.

Haven't been using the unofficial wikia lately, because it tends to be a little slow on picking up on new content.

I stopped using the unofficial one on principle when the edrama went down

OFFICIAL wiki > that crappy PoS unofficial one.


Just my $.02.

I use whichever one comes up first in the google search when I'm searching for something.
Then I go to the other one IF the one i initially use doesn't have the information I need.

They both have ups and downs. Unofficial is easier for me to find simple things, like skill capture locations and collectors. Official is easier to get good info missions and quests.

I personally prefer the wikia as the layout is much more simple and easier to navigate (less buttons to press). The armor gallery and skills lists are much better and more convenient compared to the official wiki. Also, it's great that it has all the zaishen challenges/wanted quests for the next day listed on the homepage.
