Well, to address the first concern, we're not totally just tossing everyone into a giant field and refusing to define the edges; it's just that we want people to have a lot of room to play with a very different setting, and in the context of online gaming, "canon" is a very specific term that, in this case, is a misnomer. If we were discussing it as "setting rules" there's definitely going to be that.

As for your second concern, we think we're going to balance the two pretty well, but obviously you get to make that decision. *g* We'll definitely let people know when the wiki's finalised.
