New forum!

[Vibe]

Keep the waggish moderation. 

And since it's a clean start, and a new image unrelated to cRPG, don't keep records from this database. Everyone deserves a second chance (n'th chance for some).

This way you might have the pleasure of banning some people again. Oh the hidden pleasures.

Another chance for Bjord to make a good image for himself in this community!

No renown/infamy, or if you have it, don't grandfather it in.

Just to teach those dirty renown whores a lesson they won't SOON FORGET.

And the gods know how much he needs it!

It's the fuel that makes his engine run. Like oberyn with the polite posting. A necessity.

Let me know what features you'd like to see in the new forum, we haven't decided on a software yet, so feel free to recommend some good forum software and plugins

Couldnt care less about tech stuff, but I do want one thing:


Even if the game sells 10k+ copies, and we are drowned in a sea of plebeians, I hope the new forum will remain as free as this one.

how about if you're a crpg player, you get special access to a smaller section (like gentleman's club)

We can call it "The Asylum"

I'd like to see melee on vbullitin with portal-site function and download section and stuff.

I still have the hope that the game will get mod friendly and this way would be a great platform and a big reason to buy the game and dont just later on pirate it like many internet people do it.

You only give register access to those who bought the game (by serial key or whatever), so you can only see the big amount inside vbullitin (board, download, add download) this way you can have a modding community like elder scrolls (linked example for vbullitin) and stuff, you would force them to buy the game to get serious conversations about modding and new shared content and stuff.

But this would cost some monies getting the software and also some server space is necessary since uploading mods can be kind of space consuming, but I bet it would be profitable for you guys..

Well I'm free for both ways havn't though that way, good points..

//edit1:
Also I think you get me wrong when I meantioned"restricted access"..
I didnt ment to create exclusive content - unregisterd are just not able to talk about provided community content so theoreticly you could download the mods even with pirate, and read posts, but still don't have the possibility to communicate on the site, neither you can upload ripped new created content as unregisterd. And for those who bought the game it's nothing different, if you want to upload/discuss you can easily register...
(everyone can read and download, registers can write and upload as well)
//edit2:
That way it's not realy exclusive but when you have more interest in modifying the game than only downloading a mod, you have to buy it to get rights for adding content and stuff like this.. it's minor exclusive i would say


But the portal-site and download section is still a part I would like to see somewhere, it's an attractive bonus 

[matt2507]

I'd go the opposite way and choose very open community. Same system (game key forum access) uses Paradox, all their games are easily pirated and all exclusive mods (in theory seen only for legit game owners) are getting mirrored to tons of sites.

There's really no good in creating complicated DRM and restrictions since honest players will be the only ones suffering from it.

Hacker rarely make cracks for multiplayer. The bigger of them never do multiplayer cracks. I don't think the game gonna be so much pirated because it's a multiplayer based game.

Anyway, the paradox system is a good system and can be good choice.

What is this evil you speak of? Is it dick pics all over the place? If so, why aren't I invited?

Your arguement is clear.
Well okay, so maybe handle it a bit different.

Guests can read all topics.
Everyone is allowed to register. Its completly free 4 everyone.
As registered you can write as well.

But adding the abillity to link your forum account to your game account somehow (maybe by filling a field on modify forum profile or even steam connect).
If you do so and enter a valid name/serial/whatever you get pfff something like err "Gentleman and scholar" an icon, or maybe you have more information about your "epic" family tree etc, in your profile... there a plenty ways for such things.

Since epic is something i bet no cracked version will get you on the battlegounds (maybe on small pirated battlegrounds, but who cares about those shitty stuff).
That way players would have the possibility to valid their game on the forum, and if there is a mod community and the stuff I wrote the posts before, you can still filter the users rights, but dont leave out any person outside of the forum/without validation..

Well if you want to use more board function you may have to link your epic character - shouldnt be a problem for real gentlemans.

You lost your old forum account?
Create a new one with small disadvantage and make a support request validating that the old account belongs to yours, by simply validating with a small part of the cd key wouldn't be a problem at all.. or am I wrong?

Getting to the Paradox system, I'm sry, I never checked that board out.. all I know is that I can read everything on their site and that's all I need from Paradox forums (I'm not an m&b dev at all so I dont have to check out much stuff there)

Well assuming mods are restricted to bullshit like weapon skins and voice stuff, etc -> they can just make it compatible with steam workshop... >.>
In that case, they can just ignore our small discussion and we can stop right here
