The thing is, the aspect of keeping a recipe or item location secret on the wiki is meant to encourage people to communicate with others. If we had every single location, every single recipe every single little secret posted here on the wiki, who would need to interact with others to find out anything they don't know? By keeping some aspects secret, we are encouraging players to exchange knowledge with eachother and develop bonds, allowing players to enjoy good experiences. If a player enjoys his/her experience in the game, they will come back to play again, no? This is how the Survival games have survived for so long. There are always new people who strive to find out more. This thread caught my attention so I decided to take the time to discus my thoughts on the matter. Trampak: I can tell based upon your post that you have an understanding of the spirit of the game. I have always been a firm believer of the discovery aspect to Survival 303 and as such I think that some things should be kept secret in order keep the spirit alive, despite the actions of others that diminish it. There have been a number of users on this wiki that have wanted to or even did post these secrets, both blocked and regular users alike (you know who you are). There will always be trolls, but we shouldn't let their actions discourage us.

Necroblix: While communication and interaction is important, the primary reason for some things being kept secret is to leave something to be discovered rather than providing all the information. I have gotten a lot of spite for this in the past such as; "This is a wiki, information shouldn't be withheld from it!" but I believe that to be the right way to go about running THIS wiki. My purpose for this wiki is to provide information for those who wish to know more about the game, beginners who would like to know some basics, or even for the pros to find a recipe they might have forgotten (even I forget a recipe every once in a while and need to look at the wiki). I think the biggest problem with Survival 303 is that it isn't exactly new player friendly, so this wiki is a way to try and passively improve the game in this aspect. I hope the developers implement the tutorial island at some point, which every user would have to complete their first time playing the game. Just to teach new players the basics.

To the trolls: I may only be able to handle the content on this wiki, but that doesn't mean I can't target you in the game. Rest assured, if I happen to see one of you in the game, I WILL target you, make you rage, and laugh as I do it.

I will clean this up in the morning (grammar and clarification). umg guis

Well, about the thread, I guess what was revealed just happened.

Not much can be done due to the alt making.
