How to divide it up

The question still remains as to how to divide the page up.

We need some kind of structure, because a list of a hundred or more names just isn't something that is useful.

Let's sum up the structures that were proposed:

  • By number of rulerships
  • By a self-assessment of fame (as shown on the page at the moment)
  • By home island

What other ideas can we come up with? Let's do a little brainstorming. No criticising, just collection of thoughts, then we have fun shooting them down, ok?

Hmm. How about:
  • Straight-up alphabetical order
  • Guild memberships or other (less formal) associations
  • Favorite class
  • Home island and home realm
  • Length of time in game
  • By region (I'm thinking something like the Domesday Book here)
  • Actual numerical fame value (We should probably have a "famous families" page for that, anyway)

We definitely need a sort order that doesn't change all the time, which rules out fame, guild or realm memberships.

Alphabetical is something that we don't have to set up - if everyone puts his family page into a "families" category, we get that for free as an added bonus.

I was actually thinking that it would be a feature if the order changes -- if it were ordered by fame, for example, it would get people returning to this page every time they gained a fame point. --Dolohov 4 August 2005 20:49 (CEST)

We are restricting the community portal?

What a great community that will be. Come on Tom this is not what you are about.

And I was serious. I am not up for a watered down pissing match. Either get out the tale of the tape (Baseball terminology for lets measure) or water it down completely and just make it a game feature.--6 August 2005 10:39 (CEST)
