MMOWire Editorial Standards

MMOWire is an independent MMORPG-focused publication covering guides, systems breakdowns, analysis, and news across online games. Our goal is to publish accurate, useful, and clearly explained content that reflects how games actually work in practice.

All content published on MMOWire follows the editorial standards outlined below.

How Our Guides Are Created

MMOWire guides are written and maintained by the MMOWire Editorial Team.

Guides, news, and analysis/opinion pieces are created through a combination of hands on gameplay experience, direct system testing, online research, in game verification, and careful review of patch behavior. When a guide explains how a mechanic works, it is based on how that mechanic functions in the live game environment, not assumptions or theoretical behavior.

We focus on explaining rules, limitations, and interactions clearly so players understand not just what to do, but why something works the way it does.

Accuracy and Verification

Accuracy is a core requirement for all MMOWire content.

Before publishing, guides are checked against:

  • In game behavior and mechanics

  • Official game updates or patch notes when relevant

  • Known system limitations or conditions that affect outcomes

If information changes due to updates, balance patches, or system reworks, content is revised to reflect the current state of the game.

Updates and Maintenance

MMOWire treats guides as living resources.

Content may be updated when:

  • A game patch changes a mechanic

  • New information clarifies existing behavior

  • Player confusion reveals a missing explanation

  • A guide benefits from added clarity or structure

When updates are made, the article content is revised directly to ensure readers always see the most accurate information available.

Editorial Independence

MMOWire operates independently.

We do not accept payment to alter guide conclusions, mechanics explanations, or system evaluations. Any opinions or analysis published on the site are based on observed gameplay behavior and design intent, not sponsorship influence.

Affiliate links, if present, do not affect editorial decisions, and will be labeled clearly.

Authorship and Responsibility

Guides published on MMOWire may list the MMOWire Editorial Team as the author.

This reflects a collective editorial approach where content is researched, reviewed, and maintained internally rather than tied to a single individual. MMOWire as a publication is responsible for the accuracy, updates, and maintenance of all content published under its name.

Corrections and Feedback

If an error is identified or a system behaves differently than described, corrections are made as quickly as possible.

Reader feedback is welcome when it comes to expanding or improving coverage.

Scope of Coverage

MMOWire focuses exclusively on MMO/MMORPG games and how they work, including but not limited to:

  • Gameplay mechanics and progression systems

  • Crafting, skills, resources, and currencies

  • Guides for common player actions, quests, and questions

  • Analysis of design decisions and long term systems

We aim to explain systems as they exist, not speculate beyond available information.
