Hey everyone,

It's been a long time coming, but it looks like this is finally happening. We'll be migrating over to our new forums beginning tomorrow. The current forums will be going into READ ONLY mode at 12AM EST tonight. We anticipate that the forums will be down for up to 24 hours.

I'll be checking in regularly to answer any questions.

     Best part is that this is only phase one of the new site! It's finally happening, and will be well worth the wait!

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    This'll be so strange.. I've been here for so long.

    Can't wait though.

    Congratulations MMORPG.com !!!  Best of luck on the transition.

     

    This has been my favorite forum hangout for years, mostly for a handful of regulars who I have grown to admire and respect.

    That's all? Where's the server list, the faq, what's with name collisions, will we carry over the items from the bank and... oh wait.

    Seems I've red way too many consolidation / merge / transfer / migrate threads lately, my bad image

    Nice.  I've been mostly lurking on these forums for years.  Can't wait to see the new one.  GL!
  • kitaradkitarad Member LegendaryPosts: 8,164
    But they piggyback on other threads and a whole slew on the front page follow.

    Good luck!

    great rather than working on content, you are wasting valuable resources to give the people who bitch the most an upgraded forum to do it on!

    this is a sarcastic attempt along the lines of when games do something minor to upgrade the overall feel of a game

    Hope it all goes well for you and all those migrant threads.

    While, granted, I don't have a solution that is a shame.

     

    Suppose someone just became interested in the genre, found this site and had specific questions?

    Maybe there should be a "new account" forum for questions? Not sure.

    Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."

    I am both anticipating the change and a little sad to see this old site go. So goes progress. ;)

     

    Let's party like it is 1863!

    Only takes a couple of points to bump you to a rank where you can create threads. We may remove this if all the other tools available end up being sufficient to curb spam. It's going to be fluid for the first few weeks while we figure it all out.

    All users start at "Common" rank. Uncommon users and above can create threads. 

    Just to add: We're using an item rarity theme for ranks. You'll even get your name in the appropriate color (Uncommon = green, Rare = blue, and so on).

    If they were smart they would have held a kickstarter and then sold early access packages and perhaps people's forum names back to them.image

    Hey, it's how the rest of the industry has gone.

    Site will remain the same (for now). Forums are changing though! The new forums are currently themed after the current site. We'll be re-theming the forums to go along with the new site once that is ready.

    i really dislike the current site and forum design, simply because you use bright font on a dark background.  honestly people, pls use dark font (letters) on white background on the new site and forums. im getting flashbacks to my university time, where people had powerpoint with black letters on deep blue background :/

    i hope the new site and forums are brighter and easier to read.

    New site has a dark and light theme. So you should be OK.
