Having an About for areas is a great feature and I love it! …in fact, I love it so much that I’d like it to be even better.
The About for Cascade Island is currently very near the size limit. (In fact, it was slightly too long, but we noticed the end was getting cut off and edited to fix that.) That’s okay for now - I got in everything I really needed - but I’d love to be able to expand the Lore section and add more info about the area’s theme and membership as it develops.
That said, I don’t really think having an even longer About is the best fix. For one thing, it’s already really long if you’re reading it via the ‘about area’ command!
So, what I’d like to see is some way to set multiple about fields for an area. They could be shown as expandable sections in the sidebar version, and also accessed by a command like ‘about area rules’. The current ‘about area’ could list a ‘summary’ - which might be enough for some areas, if they’re not as long-winded as me - and also list any other About fields it’s possible to read.
I think it’d make sense to have a few suggested sections - like ‘theme’, ‘rules’, or whatever else it seems most areas should have - but I’d certainly appreciate also being able to set my own for things only relevant to some areas.
Again, having about is great! I appreciate it existing. I just… I really like writing lore. >.>
