Write to the Institute.

We welcome letters from readers, players, researchers and anyone who has spent long enough inside an imagined world to notice how it really works.

Four kinds of correspondence
Nº I

Corrections

If an Excavation contains an error of fact, lore or mechanics, tell us which report and what is wrong. Where you can, point to the source.

Confirmed errors are corrected and noted Nº II

Worlds for excavation

Suggest a civilization, species, religion, economy or player culture that deserves study. Closed games and forgotten worlds are especially welcome.

Good suggestions become Excavations Nº III

Field evidence

If you lived through a world's history as a player (a war, a market crash, a server's final night), tell us where you were and what you saw.

Your account may enter the record Nº IV

Proposals and enquiries

Research proposals, collaborations, press and every other matter. Tell us who you are and what you have in mind.

Before you write

How to help the record.

  1. Name the report by its number, for example Nº 0014, so we can find it at once.
  2. Point to your source. A quest, a page, an episode, a patch note or a screenshot is worth more than memory alone.
  3. For field evidence, say which world, which server or edition, and roughly when.
  4. One subject per message keeps the archive tidy.

The Institute reads every message. We cannot reply to all of them. Before writing, you may wish to read about the Institute and our Privacy Policy.

    Every Excavation begins with someone noticing something. Good letters tend to become reports.
