crackyhoss Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 absolutely!! the ridiculously high traffic on the general forums may just be due to the fact that most people aren't in-game yet... but it's absurd! literally 30 seconds after i started a new thread, it was buried on page 3.

No kidding It's near impossible to communicate with people on your server here One of my last threads was 3 pages deep in the forum section litterally seconds after I created it.

Starwitch Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Its mind boggling to think they didn't add server forums. Edited December 19, 2011 by Meluna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbican Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hi, I was checking out the new forums, they are an improvement in most categories save one... can we get specific server forum. To elaborate having an individual form for each server one for fatman, wound in the force, helm of graush etc.. This will let us better communicate and coordinates with individuals and groups (guilds etc) on our server, without the threat of said topics being buried in this general discussion board for example. You can have up to date recruitment, crafting, and progression threads, set up world pvp events and tournaments, and other things with a great deal of ease without a main forum sections traffic. I will elaborate more if necessary, do others agree this would be a nice idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cormey Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I've seen a few MMOG devs refuse to do them, usually using the excuse that it segregates the games community. The result of not having them though just sees to it that the segregated communities they create anyway by the very design of the 'server' structure that commonly gets used can never really get off the ground. In the end it's good to have a forum where you can go to talk about issues that actually apply to the server(s) your playing on. I don't care if the economy is rooted or the sith outnumber the republic on servers i'll never touch. Edited December 19, 2011 by Meluna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Can we expect to see these and if so are they coming to this section? We're just going to make our own server forum, off-site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralack Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Server forums are a must IMO. We don't care about other servers problems (at least until the transfers start anyway). From the server list I saw during Thanksgiving Beta, we will need them. Edited December 19, 2011 by Meluna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aenena Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I honestly thought that when the forums went down they would have put them in. So yes we need them and totally signed! Edited December 19, 2011 by Meluna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stugotz Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I was just looking for server boards, I agree they are sorely needed. Edited December 19, 2011 by Meluna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizo Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Having a forum for each server really helps the community on that realm! Edited December 19, 2011 by Meluna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if the economy is rooted or the sith outnumber the republic on servers i'll never touch. That seems like a silly concern. The community is already segregated by server; server-specific forums just give players from those servers a place to talk about server happenings. Especially cross-faction discussion. I don't really expect this sort of forum to go up right after launch, but I'd like to see them in the near future. /sign Edited December 19, 2011 by Meluna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keevae Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yes please. Makes many things so much easier if we can communicate directly with community on the server we play on without having to browse through topics with no relevance to us.

Ormo Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) The sooner the better, will help people selecting guilds an such on the particular server there choosing, Just one of the many benefits.

DarthMarisa Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I can't reasonably expect my guild thread to get proper views unless I can move it to the right server. There's just too many threads out here. Edited December 19, 2011 by Meluna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKMaster Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) A lot of servers and forums that will disappear when they start to consolidate in a year or so but yeah definitely sign And why would they do that?

Praemorior Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I agree. There is no downside in having categories for the servers. It just makes it easier to find guilds and events in your server. Edited December 19, 2011 by Meluna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guernica Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Reluctantly came into work today and was looking to get to know some ppl on my server over my server forum. Edited December 19, 2011 by Meluna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macorden Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I agree. We need to separate the event, guild, recruitment etc forums and threads into a server forum for each. take a look at what Turbine has for LOTRO, great way to set it up.
