Looking for Demon's Souls platinum guide

Hey guys.
I platinumed Dark Souls and I'm just about to beat Demon's Souls for the first time in.. a couple years I guess. I plan to start over again to platinum, but I'm looking for a guide, especially since it's so much more complex with the world tendencies. All I really found was this, but it tells you right off the bat to cheat, which I don't want to do: http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/platinum-trophy-guide#toc6
1) Is there a good guide out there?

2) How many playthroughs does it takes to do it legitimately? And also, a question about world tendencies: 3) how does the server affect tendencies? Do you have to log out of PSN to keep your world tendencies from shifting beyond your control, or can you just be in soul form? I also have difficulty telling what my tendencies are. I must have achieved white, because Miralda's door was open and she wasn't a phantom, but I don't see how the tendency is more white than before...

And one last thing: I only have Allant left, but I'm doing a couple side things before I do. 4) Is it practical or possible to get max stuff out of this playthrough even though I wasn't paying attention to world tendencies? Or is it best to start from scratch to be more vigilant for from NG?

I know that's a lot, but I really want to get this done.
Also, any other tips or info would be great.
Please and thanks

Well, nobody replied, so I went and made my own. I'll post it here, though it will lose it's formatting. I hope it's still useful to someone else. In my file I highlighted the world tendencies, which are the most important that I wanted to know about in addition to how many playthroughs I will need, which seems to be 3.5. These were things that I didn't really see in other "guides" I found online.

I think I might eventually do a guide for getting all NPCs side quests for Dark Souls too, since I struggled with that. Anyway, here's what I got. Again, sorry for lack of formatting here:

Also I left some things out, 'cause this was just for my own info. So, for example, half of the spells can be bought by Freke's apprentice... things like that. I often just put in the most direct way of obtaining something, or the way that I will probably prefer.

Nice job. I'm About to go offline to shift WT To Pure Black in the last couple worlds for my sl50 b4 he fights final boss. Found thiese pages, prior to even knowing about the WT thing.

PBT. http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/black-world-tendency-events

PWT. http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/white-world-tendency-events


....and IT IS VERY DIFFICULT for me to see the difference in the WT archstones. Pure white and one removed from PW are so close in brightness, same with PB ( close to being the same darkness). I only really know that the tendency is full blown one or the other, is when I go to the world and the PWT / PBT "event" is happening. Thank solaire for the wiki.

Yeah, the way I'm planning to do it is to play offline and just count things that affect the world tendency, like beating three bosses will get me to white, and then I guess in my second playthrough I'll go die outside of the Nexus, like, 7 times in each world... something like that. I can't for the life of me tell from the pictures.

Sorry. My guide is missing a few things. Some boss souls at the top and a couple rings, I think? I'll update this once I've scoured it a bit more thoroughly.
