the browser-based MMOG genre of games. Monarchy, Archmage, and Utopia created the genre. There are thousands of clones of these three games, and MANY games alive today can trace their game system to one of these three original games. Many great games today wouldn't exist if these 3 games hadn't happened. Knowledge documents the history of many things. It would be rather ironic if wikipedia deleted articles about historical Internet sites because they are no longer popular. It's like suggesting that an article about the Zone would be a waste of time, because it was bought by Microsoft and replaced with the MSN gaming zone, even though 1 guy and his vision of game matching created a site used by thousands of people in 1997. Forgive me if my use of wikipedia is in error, this is another site that didn't exist when browser-mmog's were created.

game, the links in from the internet are going to be like this. I could link in a selection of player owned Guild sites etc, but I dont really see how they progress the story. I have already provided substantially more 'Notibility' than I can see in most of the other browser-based games that have been in wikipedia for ages, many without any comment at all, none suggesting the game is not ntable and the page will be deleted. I'm not sure what else you want from me.

I'll keep looking, it seems bizare that there are no wikipedia quality reviews for a game that has so much history, but maybe its because it' peak occured before most of the review sites. Going back to the other browser-games articals. If they do not claim Notibility what is thier basis for inclusion so I can look at improving the artical in that manner instead in the meantime? 856: 84: 1195:
Cannon is not a popular game anymore, and it was created long before these magazine websites existed. So, your not going to links to a game from sites that didn't exist when the game was in its hay day. However unpopular it is now, cannon/monarchy was still one of the 3 foundations games that created

Any kind of independent, substantial coverage from a reliable source. A couple of professionally-written reviews from reliable websites would be just the ticket. Press releases and magazines copying text from the game's website are not independent, nor are player owned Guild sites. Forums are not (as

Hi Oli; for notabilty the subject needs to have been the subject of (preferably multiple) independent, reliable, substantial coverage. So far we only have press releases - for example the AudioGames reference provided states "The following was taken from the Monarchy web-site." - which are explicitly

A link to a printed Magazine in which Monarchy was listed (among very few other games in 2000) as accessable to the blind. Several News releases from a variety of reputable gaming sites, and recomendations from a moderator at a high traffic roleplay site about our roleplay forums. It's an online

I'll go looking for independant reviews. Most of the stuff I can find is not all that independant. We have a selection of 83 independant player reviews on MPoGD (but they are not 'official') and I've found a review for Monarchy but I'm not sure that it would count

I think that Evernight's length of time providing online games should count towards its notability and reason for inclusion. I have included some additional sources to include alongside MPoGD 04:00, 26 May 2008 (UTC) Oliver Piotrowski

I was wondering if there was any word on the new links being enough to confer notability. I'd ideally like to remove the section from the top of the page, but am not sure if I am supposed to or not in these instances.
