I thought the stated plan when there was an annoucement about the forum retiring was that information would be put on the gswiki as much as possible.
Is the EG information being put on gswiki? Or are you just dumping it on discord, and then letting the players deal with it?
I think the latter, and its really off-putting. I saw a post on newsby today that said there was important information about enhancive swapping announced on discord, with a discord link. Why not put the important information on the GSWIKI, and then provide the link to that information in discord?

A lot of information is being cross-referenced to the wiki -- most of it, in fact, and by staff.
https://gswiki.play.net/Ebon_Gate_Festival/announcements_2022 holds a lot of it, for example.
The Garden in Quinton Manse section deals with Sylinar and enhancives. Not sure if it has exactly what you are looking for, but there is something there.

Because Discord Links are so fickle ... the TownCrier posts NO Discord links via Newsby anymore. We quote the entire text of the official announcement/information into the TownCrier web site and give you THAT link.
At the bottom of the headline and quoted info, is the Discord Source link for people to copy/paste into their app or browser if they need to ask more questions.
I will try to watch how I word that more carefully so people know it is not going directly to Discord. Links are just too long to use in either ESP or LNet, so it's all Bit.Ly links, and I know you cannot tell where they will lead you.
Here is the link to what I believe you are referencing, it is from Mister Wyrom yesterday, I think:
https://gstowncrier.com/news/wyroms-reminder-about-enhancive-services-at-ebon-gate/
Lots of EG announcements are being captured on the official announcements page. Mister Obelin is summarizing them on the TownCrier's Teasers Page (at the wiki), along with many others, too, that don't make it to announcement status. This was one of the ones that is not in the official wiki announcements page as near as I can tell.
We're doing our best to work with what we have, and will happily speak to folks who have better ideas, mousetraps, etc to ensure all GS Players get access to all the news they need.

So why doesnt the news get posted directly here:
https://gswiki.play.net/Ebon_Gate_Festival/announcements_2022
I mean, that covers the information about enhancive swapping. But there is a key piece of information mentioned only on discord. Its great that the information has made it to (https://gstowncrier.com/news/wyroms-reminder-about-enhancive-services-at-ebon-gate/), but that information is not referenced in the annoucements_2022 page that is specifically about enhancive swapping.
Its always like this example. Wyrom should have put the information on
https://gswiki.play.net/Ebon_Gate_Festival/announcements_2022
And then posted the link to that as his discord announcement. Its so simple, really.
