I kinda agree with this. It makes more sense to put that time and money into something that counts. Besides, DEVs need to focus on making the game better. They need to be in game seeing how it all goes down when it's really happening. DEVs don't need some troller telling them bad info just to get a rise out of the fanbois. |

I will be very surprised if they don't have official forums. While it does seem to work well for WAR and DAoC, I think the community will demand them. I do agree on a few points. Yes, they do cause problems when not properly MODed (flame wars) and Yes, the time, manpower, and cash could be better spent on ingame items of interest. However, I'm afraid you are stuck with them. |

I don't care if you disagree with me. However, don't tell me what my Thread is trying to say. I know what I'm saying. Do not make posts on my thread telling me what I'm trying to say. As for if I am wrong or not...I don't care! This is my opinion. I will respect your veiws and you will respect mine.
What I'm forced to ask is....
...what evidence do you have that not having them won't generate the very same effects and occurances...if not more extreme or of a differing nature? Honestly, I remember the OG-official forums. Not so bad, imho. Now admittedly they did begin to slide into uselessness farther down the line but I submit to you that that fact isn't endemic of there actually being official forums...but rather that SOE not listening, not giveing feedback, and the state of the game caused a great many of the most vociferous posters to become disinfranchised and to feel alienated. Thus, those who's voice carried truth above simple whine or mud-slinging got buried by the mob of those already angry or just out to drop nukes for no reason. With non-central forums you have to have information dissemination. That takes time. For feedback to be clearly gained from devs to us or vice-versa also takes more time in such a case. The product then suffers or stands a far better chance of doing so because of the same. in my opinion, not having the official forums is as counter-productive to the state of a title as you say it is to have them. Moderation is the key here. Ambushes need to be quelled. Everyone gets the equal voice, provided they don't do so in a disruptive manner with the seeming need to merely be disruptive. Fanbois are EVERYWHERE....get over it. Not having an official forums isn't going to get rid of them, either. H*ll, most of them (fanbois and trolls) have little better to do than to seek out any and all sites to ply their trade so it isn't going to matter if it's "official forums" or "affiliate sites".
Those that yearn to be *ssh*ts are going to BE *ssh*ts...regardless of your attempt to spread them out. They''ll site jump or congregate...meaning it won't matter and the only "fix" for anything will be in the area of player feedback and dev feedback becoming dammed by yet another degree of seperation...which will do FAR more damage to the title than a few fanbois if they'd simply get mods and community relations leads that KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING! :)
Yes, I have anger issues. They taste like chocolate bunnies. |

That may be so, but it doesn't make it right. I still think it's a mistake. |

If you knew anything about the forums and the kinda people they have over there you would change you mind in a heartbeat. Trust me, you don't want to use their forums. Most of the people there don't care about MMOs and do nothing but troll and take people off topic. On top of that Stan pretty much said they were gonna open up MMO forums.
