The devs are supposed to have the backup and be working on the transfer, according to the other threads. In the meantime, here's this.
I posted it in the other two threads lamenting the wiki's loss, but somehow missed this one. It doesn't have every page saved (edits after August, mostly) and you can't use the search function, but it's better than nothing. Bit slow, though.
If we can get the site's data, I might be able to swing the hosting costs if someone else can do the administration of it. Or I suppose I could learn how to do that, if need be...
And yes, I'm aware of how much it cost Lohr to keep it up since F2P hit. Though a service of that potency probably won't be necessary with our current diminished population.
And with no wiki, the population might resume diminishing. With Powerhouse not giving all of the specs...

The wiki used screenshots of the powerhouse descriptions for the pages involving powers. Anyone entering the PH already has access to the same information. The wiki just provided the convenience of doing out-of-PH build-planning. Let's refrain from using unnecessary slippery slopes of doom.
Now if it's more detailed explanations of certain mechanics like dodge and threat, then the wiki covered that area pretty well. There are guides in the Combat & Powers forum section that make for good alternatives.
The whole thing makes me sad. I've been playing for 2 months; CO is my favorite MMO; they can't even take the trouble to COPY a wiki to their own site.
So, where are they now on getting the wiki active again? It's been ca. 4 months now. Doesn't seem like it should take this long if they are really serious about it.
There is now a note under Guides on ARC, stating the Wiki link is above.
It isn't but at least we know where they are planning to put it.
Now if we could get them to put ;
game guides under guides
subs, LTS, under accounts and payments, along with zen purchases.
Not at all. If there PWE were willing to host it I'd volunteer to help update the one we already had (assuming that there were other helpers as well). Not a fan of reinventing the wheel.

Definitely need a major upgrade but it's a possible alternative/replacement.

Problem is that it is very slow to load page by page.
There are other problem, but I will let you discover those for yourselves.

The closet thing we have to a Wiki right now is - THIS.
It's slow to load page-by-page, but most of it is there. Some images are missing the deeper you get into it. { shrugs }
Good Luck.

Think you could talk TT into keeping the board updated on the Wiki progress?
Meanwhile, I have no issue using the Internet Wayback Machine.
This is so true most wiki's are fan made.
