No, I'm not dead nor did I completely vanish. My wife and I are opening a retail store and I've been flat out busy as hell. I work until I give out physically at this point. Anyway, enough about that.
The Dark Souls 2 Wikidot Wiki is up. http://darksouls2.wikidot.com.
I'm sure there are probably some incorrect items, but basically I just ported over the framework of http://darksouls.wikidot.com, and then everyone can start building out from there. If there are any items that need to be added or removed from the Top navigation or side navigation bars, let me know.
Yes, the logo at the top of the site is not updated for Dark Souls 2. Berto will be discussing our plan for that in an upcoming post.

Enjoy, happy hunting. Wish I could join the Dark Souls 2 fun, but I'm not likely to have the time for the foreseeable future.
PS -- Let all your friends know the wiki is up for those who want to contribute.
Thanks everyone!
