Roph: Online Gaming Child Board

Irock · October 25, 2007, 01:15:15 AM

Well, this has really been on my mind for some time now. The Video Games forum is a pretty active forum, and one of my favorites. But I don't see much online gaming going on. (Tournaments, Username/friend code sharing, etc) But maybe if there was an Online Gaming child board, there would be more of it. People could game with each other, maybe have tournaments, make friends for MMOs, form clans and whatnot. It would all be so great. It all seems worthy of it's own forum.

I think it sounds dumb, aside the Metin topic there haven't really been any online game topics here recently, and I don't see how making a child board would encourage people to post topics like "Plz help defiit lvl80 dragon in WoW".

Having a forum for something WOULD encourage members to post in it. I guarantee that if the Bean Bags forum hadn't been made, 30 threads seeking social help wouldn't have been made in a little over a month. They could have always posted them in community, but it isn't directly aimed at social help. The forum is aimed at all-around socialization. It's the same for Video Games. It isn't aimed at online gaming, it's aimed at all-around gaming.

I believe if there were an Online Gaming forum, RMRK would be more inclined to create threads when they want to play someone online.

Not a bad idea.
I guess.

It'll probably attract more members here :3

Indeed, online gaming forums are pretty popular.

I think this is a very good idea. I don't play online games, but I know there are millions who do. The pure marketability of this type of board makes it a win.

Leventhan · October 25, 2007, 06:25:55 AM

We will definitely benefit from making an Online Gaming Board.
And probably those new members will become active members

Too bad I don't play any MMORPG anymore now.

Nightwolf · October 25, 2007, 12:25:14 PM

Yeah, thats good. We can host tournaments and all and discuss online play.

Irock's idea rocks i.

Leventhan · October 25, 2007, 12:40:09 PM

And even sell game stuff for cold hard cash :3
Man I love that business.

Sounds good to me!

Irock · October 29, 2007, 07:01:49 AM

Yeah, I bet Roph will approve or deny this anyday now.

Leventhan · October 29, 2007, 02:30:25 PM

Aye, anyday now......

Arwym · October 31, 2007, 02:01:07 AM

I think it's a nice idea.

I think he became mute... Or is hiding from something/someone. Or maybe he doesn't have the time to post. Who knows...

Edit: It was a joke, by the way...

:) · October 31, 2007, 06:44:55 PM

he got a job.

Arwym · November 01, 2007, 12:58:26 AM

I know he got a job. >.> I just don't think it is normal that he can't even come for a second and let us know he's fine. But assume he is very, very tired. So it's okay. Let's hope he is well and will come back soon.

Holkeye · November 01, 2007, 02:26:33 PM

He doesn't have a job. I know where he's been but I'm not telling.
