Q: Not very long ago, we've updated the official NPC names for each country. It should be pursued with the names of the PC with an official status or function. But what would be the best way to gather these names, not only once for all, since this list needs to be updated constinuously? Through the forum? Through OOC reminders during events in game?
A: The wiki is managed by the players. So, if there is any list that should be updated, they have to take care of it if they want it updated. BUT, is true, that to help on that task, some official updated list could be somewhere. Since Atys is constantly changing, the list must be updated continuously. The only list that will never change (or never should), is the one of the old or former NPC that ever existed. Dead characters, former leaders etc etc. Right now, with the Steam release tasks, we are busy in every Team. But, I could share this suggestion (creation of an official list with names NPC, or PC one) with the Lore Team and see what we can do.
Q: Are there other means to get official funtions / titles?
A: Those titles are available if you follow the steps each charge needs to get them. Sometimes you just need to propose yourself in the assemblies to get it; sometimes elections are needed.
Lyne: I think they already have the titles, Gaueko. What they want to know if these official functions will be in the official list.
Gaueko: I see. Then, as I said, it would depend in the status of it. If the charge is Royal Illustrator for example, it should appear as the Royal Illustrator on a list that shows the actual charges inside the nation, NPC and PC. If the charge is no more held by the PC, then it should appear on a list of former royal illustrators. (Just and idea, since I have seen similar list before). When a PC has been so long out, and because of that the tile is lost, then it should be removed to another list for sure. If not, even if it could be annoying, unless they officially remove the title to the PC, it would keep the title.
Zendy: What is difficult also, is that you need to remove (or move) the names of the PC who've been away for long.

Zendy: Yes, but to summarise, what you're telling me is to wait for the implementation of an official list?
Gaueko: No. As I said, the list on the wiki is usually managed by the players. On some of the wikis with more information than in others. BUT, I can suggest to the Lore Team to work on an official list (with updates in real time) to help with the list that could be done for the wiki.
Zendy: Ok so I'll try to organised an update of wikilore by the players.
Gaueko: Good luck Zendy. I will try my best so we create an official list to help you, or any future list that could be created. Of course, the help of the Lore Team is open right now for this task too. If you want to ask about any NPC, or have any doubt about it, you can send a mail to tamarea@ryzom.com or to gaueko@ryzom.com.
Osquallo: Other than that, I want to add that I'm working on the name generator to try to "finish" it and make it more in accordance with the Lore. As a preview : https://lut.im/6XQ01spjkl/PEriq5xdy7qY8UZH.png
