I question whether we should be listing everything that we currently list under "Features Accessible". The only part of that relevant to Free Players is the subsection "For Free". The bulk of this article is identical to [[Premium Player]] (which is why Agge just updated it to transclude from it). The VIP article also has some substantial overlap. Instead of having three articles that go at length on the same material, perhaps it would be better to have a single main account that discusses accounts. Then each of the other three articles could be abbreviated down to a simple definition article that points to the main article for further information (or could even just redirect to the main article). Problem is, what do we call the main article? "Account"? "Subscription"? -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 08:59, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Features Accessible

I question whether we should be listing everything that we currently list under "Features Accessible". The only part of that relevant to Free Players is the subsection "For Free". The bulk of this article is identical to Premium Player (which is why Agge just updated it to transclude from it). The VIP article also has some substantial overlap. Instead of having three articles that go at length on the same material, perhaps it would be better to have a single main account that discusses accounts. Then each of the other three articles could be abbreviated down to a simple definition article that points to the main article for further information (or could even just redirect to the main article). Problem is, what do we call the main article? "Account"? "Subscription"? -- Sekoia 08:59, 18 December 2011 (UTC) Addendum: In the NCsoft account management website, these are referred to as "Account Type". So "Account" seems the appropriate term. -- Sekoia 11:31, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

I've drafted a merged version of the three articles at User:Sekoia/Sandbox/Account. I think having the other three articles redirect to this article would be best; I intentionally reference the three account types in the overview for exactly that purpose. I'll leave that sit for a bit to see if anyone has feedback, and if not, then I'll later go and move my merged version into the main namespace and make the other updates accordingly. -- Sekoia 12:23, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
