BBS wish
« on: October 14, 2008, 06:05:22 PM »
With the recent O'club discussion curtailed here is my wish.
Make this a Subscriber only BBS. With cpid linked here. No more shades and IP masking when PNGed. If you act like a tard one too many times your bbs privileges are suspended till HTC sees fit.  Since there no more free player and no more lan play i see no reason why this shouldn't be implemented.

There are those of us who fly offline who could receive help more quickly for issues on skins, terrains, and the game itself.

Sorry the benefits to the paying community outweigh the negatives nonpaying.  Settle for emailing htc boyo.

Sorry, but a big no to this idea from me.

The reason is that many players will have a very hard time working out the ropes of this game.  If they can't access the forums, can't access the training arena, chances are they're not going to stick around very long.

Then we can limit them to training and tech support until subscribed.

I go 50/50 on this. It would stop most of the shade accounts, but there are some guys that would like to view the boards that aren't shades and don't have an account anymore/on leave. Maybe block all boards except make a new forum for non-paying members area to get kept up with things? Dunno, brainstorming here.

That's sounding better but I still don't really like the idea.  Before I subscribed, I spent a long time just reading posts on here (and learning a fair amount).

I think this wish would only help a small amount (almost un-noticeable).

Just look at all the bull that gets brought up over 200 in game.

Not all the problems here are shades.

With working on many different BB softwares for many years, I'd say it's hard to impliment it completely...there would be some flaws. You'd have to build a bridge to the AH player MySQL database, lots of work.

HTC is almost always monitoring this BBS at some point during the day, unlike the arenas. This will ensure that a change will be felt here.

I'm quite sure if HTC is able to make a top notch MMOG, the above is doable.

I didn't say it wasn't doable did I? I'm just saying it's a lot of work.

Would seem well worth it to me.
