Disagreeing on redirect change
[edit]It was mentioned in the discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 November 17#Arcanists that it was barely mentioned on the FunOrb page it redirected to. While true, Arcanists was the most popular FunOrb game, one of the few that could be played independently of the FunOrb website (at arcanists.com), with a relatively high player count shortly after the launch of the website and until it stopped receiving updates. It was and still is the top search result on Google for "Arcanists". Unfortunately, I don't have any figures, and the Wayback Machine being offline at the time of writing isn't helping.
It's a testament to its popularity that there is an officially-licensed remake under the same name, with 10,580 Discord members and 404 Steam reviews (it's only 3 months ago it was put on Steam; prior to that, it was distributed primarily via Google Drive). There are also archival efforts such as the AlterOrb client.
But I have to concede that the FunOrb page in its current state is quite weak, and frankly the game has now evolved beyond the FunOrb topic. Here for the one billionth edit (talk) 16:32, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
