Welcome!
p.s. Nah, not yet I think. Would be nice to have them though; especially realm forums. Essential part of a server's community / social aspect imo. |

Thats not good how are they going to listen to there players if theres no Forum, Im sure they will add this soon but it should have already been up. |

DAOC never had official forums either, seems to be Mythics style.
The IGN boards see a lot of of Mythic employee posts though. |

When you are in the game, hit the H key and VOILA! a magic screen pops up with a "FEEDBACK" section. Thus, they can listen directly to their players without listening to the 3452 replies that come after someone posts something telling the person why they are an idiot. *Ponders that for a moment* Stupid Warhammer! How dare they take away one of my favorite past times! Luckily we still have these forums and Warhammeralliance.... and a few fansites that will keep the tradition alive. :)

For the record, their Devs are active within these forums and others. So they do see the "feedback" that is posted and discussions that take place. They do so without having to maintain and moderate a forums and have a staff dedicated to such. Instead they are able to focus all of their attention to perfecting (or attempting to perfect) their games. :)

The people involved directly with the game and game mechanics would never have been 'distracted' by official forums, but they might have been more informed. Please stop trying to excuse this guys, even though every. last. one. of. you. attach at least one ":)" to your posts it doesn't make this smiles and giggles. It was just them being cheap, end of story.

I wouldn't cry if they decided to start up some real offical forum. |

Originally posted by Gazenthia Here we go again. If you need to know anything about the game go Here. They've been telling you to go to the War Herald for ages now. After every pod cast and every video you've seen by them they always tell you at the end to go to either the herald or warhammer online website. I'm actually glad they have no "official" forums. I personally agree with their philosophy where if you have a problem or wish to give feedback it's all in the game for you to use. Just go to the help screen by hitting the letter H and send your feed back. It goes directly to where you want it to go without even leaving the game. After all I'd think you were there to play the game and not sit on some forum bemoaning how gimp your throw axe skill is unless sitting on a board and complaining is actually what you like doing.... If I was Mythic, I'd go the same way because quite frankly listening to the horde of vapid mouth breathers is tiresome and without merit. No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga- |

Smart move from Mythic Many an MMORPG has had some real stupid mistakes made because certain "powers that be" thought the whiners on forums were the majority or needed spoon fed........ I've had one heck of a flame fest for my SWG opinion on this subject *Cheese* Many fansites are good; here "warhammer alliance", "warhammer allakhazam" Stractics. They have realm boards, DB's, most what you need.. I bet if they ever open em one of the first posts is.... "Paul Barnett! You have to reply to this!!"
I would like to state that in no way shape or form that anything I receive from SOE influences my opinion about SWG or their company. I’m pretty much a typical average player enjoying the game. |

Yes, it actually tells you a lot about what Mythic thinks of their customers when they won't even host a tech support forum. |

Mythic is about the best developer out there, among the best. They respond, and they care. I do not own their shares so I do not have to a-kiss them. I hate them when they sink DAoC, but still they have been consistently positive. Have you been in the CB or OB, have you submit reports? They have addressed the issues fast, and patches come quick. Lots of bugs indeed, but the way they face it is positive. Admiting the pathing issue, and keep patches coming. I rather have them fix the issue than coming to a board and telling us that the bug is working as intended. If you want words on a board, there are tons of boards around. I prefer direct action in forms of patches. |

They will never add an official forum, and thank god for that. |

Originally posted by FreddyNoNose did you say something? btw, you can use the in game reporting tools. Did you do that? How many times have you done that? Customers want a two way dialog, even if it's a GM or Dev making a two sentence post once or twice a week that they know it's a problem and they are working on it. Getiing auto responses from submitting things, reading the herald and reading Mark's pathetic blog is not enough. |

QFT. Anyone complaining about there being no official WAR forums doesn't know Mythic. Mythic knows better than to waste their time and resources with the nonsense that goes on in official forums. The IGN boards are the closest thing you'll ever get to an "official' Mythic forum. |

It just shows what you think of the community in the game you are playing. You don't want to chat with them, group with them, or hear what they have to say about the game. After all, it probably is the worst mmo community out there. |

mmorpg war forums seem to be the most used by people.. guess that kinda makes theese forums the 'offitial' ones right? :) at least me and several of people i know only use this forum. |
