Folks, So, I’m pleased to announce that in the next few months Mythic will be hosting, for the first time, its own Official Forums for one of its games. Now, I expect that some (okay, a lot) of you are wondering what form these forums will take and why, after so many years of being rather vocal ...

... two MDPS classes were taken out of the game to get it released in time, adding them back doesn’t really count as adding new conent, but in restoring it. I’d like to add LotRO to the games discussed as a game that has had frequent content added but in knowing what an expansion really is with Mines of Moria! That’s not to say I’m not looking forward to the Land of the Dead and Slayers though.

Warhammer Online Introducing Official Forums
WarCry Network : Latest News —
Warhammer Online developers have announced that they will be implementing official forums in the near future. Having spent a lot of virtual ink telling the community that they would not ever have official forums, this comes as something of a surprise.

Too scared to talk, you cowards, all of you
The Cesspit. - Home of the fool (on a hill) —
Last on the list, official forums.
Once again I think another step in the wrong direction. Why? Ive always been for official forums. First to receive support and not talk to each player individually (as, usually, when problems exist they are experienced by many), second to quickly gather up to date infos that don't fit on a web page (servers going down, problems to connect etc..). Then obviously to get feedback from developers and discuss meaningfully the game.
I've explained the way I'd moderate it. Not tolerating spam and trolling. Not looking for ...

Are Official Forums a Necessary Evil?
Nerfbat —
... associated with having official forums and it’s quite a pain to manage a community on official forums effectively, you absolutely have to have official forums for an MMO. If not for existing players to have an out-of-game home and to strengthen the community, then for the new players who don’t know that official posts are made on Fansite A and Fansite C (but not Fansite B, because they are jerks). Even Mythic, long against having official forums, has finally seen the light with Warhammer Online.
