NPC's can either a) start quests or b) be involved in quests (Talk to XXX, Give item to YYY etc). That needs to be taken into consideration in the NPC template.

Yeah, the quest info definitely needs to go in somehow, but I left it for the moment, since as you indicate, it's a bit complicated.

I'm not sold on it myself, but I think the profession & location should be shown there somehow. Any suggestions? Maybe use tables instead?

yuk, no tables please

Just names would be enough, people are only gonna ctrl+f on the name then click it, we can spare the pain in the eyes that that huge list will be if it is overloaded with info, and put that info in the NPC page itself. Keep the page tidy and readable imo. Just names should be enough.

Not sure I agree, since, let's say I'm in an an unfamiliar town and i want to look up who/where my trainer is, or where the weapons dealers are. I would have to click on every name in that town to read each character's page in order to find out. Also, with some quests where you have to run about the town looking for various people, it would be much easier just to have a single screen with all the information you need, that you can keep switching to.

An option might be to create two articles, like is done in wikipedia, where they have separate articles: "List of X" and "Comparison of X" (though the "Comparison of X" articles are often atrociously ugly, so I'm not saying exactly like that). Then the "NPC List" would be the main article, but there could be a link on it another article that had tables of the NPCs for each realm. The same could apply to the quests, items and skills, for which tables would be useful.

Hm never thought of it like that to be honest. I guess we could go with name - profession - coords, maybe seperated by dashes (like i typed it now) instead of tabs, theres smth about the way it looks now that i dont like

I've done a mock with the style you suggested. I thought that discussion should continue at the right place on the wiki, so details are at http://regnum.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:NPC_List

Bumpety bump!

C'mon people, there's still loads of stuff to be added

I added the warrior spells, due to lack of time there are no descriptions, if someone has some time please add a small description next to each spell

Completed all mage/conju/warlock passive skills (Yes I know picked the easy ones XD). Also added "Crowd Control".

Can someone move the info on Alsius npcs from NPC List to NPC list? Just search NPC List and you should find it.
