UESPWiki:History

< UESPWiki

The history of the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages dates back to the fall of 1994, when UESP founder Dave Humphrey started a text FAQ for Daggerfall during the game's early production. The FAQ was distributed regularly on Usenet and grew in size and popularity. In the fall of 1995, Dave and the FAQ's two other editors decided on the name UESP to expand its scope to all Elder Scrolls games. The two other editors left, making Dave the sole maintainer of the old UESP site.

In 2005, as the release of Oblivion drew near, UESP converted to a wiki format. All users were now allowed to edit its pages, letting Dave take on more of a backend role to support the site's expansion. In November 2005, the wiki moved to a dedicated server in Montreal.

Since the creation of UESPWiki, its scope has expanded to include not just the games but the entire Elder Scrolls franchise, including general information and archives, mods, real books, and merchandise.

History

Below is a timeline of the entire history of the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages.

Included in some of the earlier entries is commentary from founder Dave Humphrey. Many of the original details and dates are vague, as there are few records available anymore.

1990s

1994, February 3Arena is released.
  • The first game in the Elder Scrolls series appears on store shelves.
1994, Summer — Dave's first glimpse of Arena.
  • Dave Humphrey: My first experience with the Elder Scrolls games was with Arena on a friend's computer. I remember the scene well: A cityscape at night with snow slowly drifting down between the street lights. While I was just beginning to get into PC computer games at the time, I was seriously impressed. I actually want to push this date back further (almost a year further in the winter of '93) but that would be before Arena was released, so I'm assuming my memory is just failing me.
1994, Fall — Dave buys Arena.
  • Dave Humphrey: I was bored one weekend and was in a small computer shop which just happened to have one copy of Arena as one of its dozen games. It was all downhill from here... This was the second game I ever bought (the first being Doom).
1994, FallDaggerfall FAQ is started.
  • Dave Humphrey: After playing and being very impressed with Arena, I started frequenting the Usenet newsgroups and soon found out about Daggerfall, which was in early production at the time. Seeing the general lack of knowledge on the game, I started a text FAQ for Daggerfall, which was distributed regularly on Usenet.
1994, WinterDaggerfall FAQ grows. Andrew Frankling and Michael Bodenhoff join as editors.
  • Dave Humphrey: The FAQ grew quickly and two other people joined me in gathering information and editing it.
1995, SummerDaggerfall FAQ becomes a website.
  • Dave Humphrey: Early in the life of the World Wide Web, the text FAQ was converted into a webpage at www.newforce.ca/~jackel/.
1995, FallUESP is born.
  • Dave Humphrey: After some discussion and ideas with the other two editors of the FAQ, I created the UESP website to include information about all the Elder Scrolls games. It was shortly after this that the two other FAQ editors dropped out of sight.
1996, September 20Daggerfall is released.
  • Dave Humphrey: This was a very busy time and the UESP expanded considerably with Daggerfall information.
1996, November 16 — Dave posts his first update on the old UESP site.
  • This post appears on a new page called "What's New", later archived on an "Older Updates" page.[1]
1997 — UESP moves servers.
  • Dave Humphrey: I moved the site to the donated www.honesty.com/~jackel/ site (thanks to Moose) once the Newforce server started charging based on bandwidth instead of a flat monthly charge (it would have increased the site fee from something like $10 to over $100 a month). I'm unsure of the exact move date.
1997, April 15 — A Redguard section is created on the old site.[1]
1997, September 20 — A Battlespire section is created on the old site.[1]
1997, December 4Battlespire is released.

  • This is also the first mention of Morrowind in UESP's news updates.[2]
1998, May 23 — An FTP site is set up on the old site.[2]
1998, June 6 — The UESP Mailing List starts using ListBot.[2]
1998, October 16 — UESP moves servers again.
  • Dave Humphrey: Due to problems at the donated honesty site, I moved to the donated www.m0use.net/~uesp/ site (which had its network connection graciously donated by Bethesda, thanks!). Again, the exact date is uncertain.
1998, October 20 — MyUESP is introduced, allowing readers to customize their home page.[2]
1998, November 9 — UESP receives its first "official" recognition.
  • UESP is chosen as a vital site in CNET Gamecenter's Underground.[2]
1998, November 14Redguard is released.
1998, November 29 — The first UESP poll concludes.[2]
1999, February 11 — UESP is converted entirely to SHTML.
  • Other changes include consistent styling of pages, a page counter, and a contact form.[2]

2000s

2000, June 17 — Dave returns from a hiatus after working in North Africa.
  • After few updates to the site since April 1999, Dave makes some new updates.[3]
2000, September 24 — Dave leaves for work in North Africa again for about a year.[4]
2001, September 13 — The UESP Tamriel Map is converted from a CGI script to a Java applet.[4]
2002, January 6 — With Dave back home, he plans to update most pages on UESP.[4]
2002, May 1Morrowind is released.
  • Morrowind is the first fully detailed open-world game in the series, now a defining characteristic of the Elder Scrolls main series. It follows up on the lore and graphical enhancements tested in Redguard and capitalizes on them to great success. It begins the tradition of including a Construction Set with the game, which makes it easy for modders to create content and even easier to collect and verify game data.
2002, May 12 — The Morrowind section of UESP gets some content pages.[4]
2002, June 1 — UESP releases its first iteration of a Morrowind interactive map.
  • This version is written as a Java applet.[4]

2004, January — UESP moves servers a third time.
  • Dave Humphrey: After m0use being down for a few months, I purchased and moved the site to the www.uesp.net domain on a virtual server hosted by Canaca. Hopefully, this will be the last move for a while.
2004, November 29 — Dave provides an update.
  • This is the first update since February 16, 2004, and Dave was mostly away from the site. He says UESP passed 2 million hits on the main page a while before this date and averages 20,000 page views per day sitewide. He plans to abandon most of his Morrowind programming projects in favor of updating for Oblivion.[5]
2004, December 1 — An Oblivion section is added to UESP.[5]
2005, January 10 — Dave openly discusses the idea of moving to a Content Management System.
  • Suggestions from readers include Xoops, Mambo, and Post Nuke.[5]
2005, January 12 — The first public mention of a UESP wiki possibility.
  • Dave titles the news post "To Wiki, or Not to Wiki".
    Dave Humphrey: Someone suggested looking at a wiki-based solution for the site. I have actually been thinking about moving towards a wiki format, though mainly for the Tamriel section, but expanding the idea to the rest of the site is intriguing. Wikis are definitely more content oriented than the other CMS solutions, but it's not a perfect fit in terms of how I'd prefer to organize things. I suppose it's unlikely I'll find anything perfectly suiting my needs, but I don't want to rush such a major design decision either.[5]
2005, February — UESP begins its change to a wiki format.
  • Dave Humphrey: After much research and testing, I decided to move to a wiki-based site. This lets the Elder Scrolls community add and edit the site content, as the site has gotten so large I cannot devote enough time to properly maintain it.
2005, March 28 — First public news post about UESPWiki.
  • Dave Humphrey: Thanks to everyone's suggestions, I have set up and started work on the UESPWiki at www.uesp.net/wiki. It's actually been up for a month or more as we slowly transfer the original pages to wiki articles and have been making good progress (considering I haven't had much time lately). Feel free to take a peek or create an account and add or edit a few articles if you wish.[5]
2005, September 9 — Last post on the old UESP site.
  • A banner is added to the old site redirecting users to the wiki. At the time, UESP was receiving 100,000 hits per day.[5]
2005, October 17Wrye is made the wiki's first administrator after Daveh.
2005, November — UESP moves to a dedicated server.
  • Dave Humphrey: With increasing load due to now being a wiki, as well as Oblivion's release date approaching, the site outgrew its virtual server. I switched to a fully dedicated server from iWeb in Montreal, which increased the monthly cost from a mere $10 to $100. Typically, load on the current server is 10-20%, so there is a good amount of room for future growth.
2005, November 23 — The UESP Forums are created, with Daveh as the first user.
