I ran into this problem with [[BatMUD]]. Anything I write is from personal experience or is drawn from material written by group which controls the game. This makes it impossible to resolve content conflicts as each party has a perfect reason for deleting the content of the other. Original research or autobiographical writing. So the article does not contain the sharp criticisms it might, nor does it fully satisfy those who would promote the site. I gave up struggling over this due to my position as an arbitrator. Not seemly to get into a dirty edit war when I'm in the wrong from edit one even if the other party is too.

The real problem is not that we have an extremely detailed article about MapleStory. In fact, that is a good thing. Who will describe the cultural artifacts of the early 21st century in detail, if not us? Academia can never catch up with the pace of development of these games. Incidentally, I was recently trying to learn more about the MMORPG phenomenon, and guess what my best source of information was? Wikipedia, of course.
