'Technical Information' is a broad category encompasing any well defined aspect of how the game works. There is more to know about the game than most people can reasonably expect to know. These pages genearlly serve as a backbone and as support for gameplay and class-specific pages. Some stand on their own, though most are highly detailed explanations of topics only brushed over elsewhere.
