Ingame forums
« on: May 17, 2004, 11:25:25 am »
There should be a set of forums that can only be accesed in game.

You would have to go to a place like the Town hall where you go to post and the in game forum would be linked to the real forum. There would also be an extra standing in the forum called in game. So you could see whos online and whos actually playing without having to log in.

Tell me what you think

\"Anyway, back to the game.\"

\"Uh, guys?\"
::keeps talking::
\"Pi is exactly 3!\"
[complete silence]
\"I\'m sorry it had to come to that, folks.\"

realistic?
its not about whether or not its realistic.
Its about creating a fun experience and personally i think that forums add to that experience.


maybe i didnt explane it well enough.
It would basiacally be a place on the game to acsess these forums so you dont have to log out to get to the forums.
If the game starts to get a bit slow go to the forum bulding. If your not logged in yet you can go to the forum and at the bottom it will tel you whos online.

For me its about creating a fun, believable, and immersive fantasy environment where roleplaying is easy, and encouraged. I think in game forums would kind of kill that. They would most likely just be spamed anyhow, these forums are enough imo.
