Hello,

Recently I have been playing Icewind Dale after a while since I bought it. Just like Baldur's Gate, it took some time before I start to appreciate the game, because the combat with low level parties is a bit frustating, especially if the party consists of a lot of multi-class characters. Since this a problem of the past with my first game, I can finally start to enjoy the game and the atmosphere and adding information to a wikia. Expect there is no Icewind Dale wikia, yet.

While I could start a Icewind Dale wiki at this very moment, I won't do this, because after the summer holidays, I know that don't have much time to contribute to it. And on the of the problems, which I experienced with this wikia is the amount of time it can take before people find this wikia and will contribute to on a regular basis. And that will only happen if the wikia is developed or shows promise that it can become a good wikia. Without some people who have experience in starting a new wikia and some contributors, I will probably create a wikia which is going to be abandoned after a while.

In short, I am looking people who have played Icewind Dale I and/or II who are willing to contribute to this wiki when it is created. And i think that 5 - 10 persons are enough to create this new wiki and develop it. Because Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate were developed by the same company on the same game engine, many templates from this wiki can be copied to the Icewind Dale wikia with some small changes. And I think that giving it a similair structure (categories and subcategories, page structure, forum, etc.) won't harm it either.

I can also make a page for this wiki on the wikiindex.org (a website which hold tracks of all wiki's) and promote the wiki on the wikia community as soon as the wiki fulfills the requirements. Furthermore, for this wiki and the Icewind Dale wiki, the program Infinity Explorer can be used get a lot of information about the games.

If you are interested, leave a message on this forum and I will add you to the list of volunteers.
