deganawida Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Well, I'm at work, working on the web page, and I come here to visit like I normally do, and there's no one here. Has the move just killed the community? I hope not, as I enjoy these boards quite a bit, but I realize that there were many unhappy individuals yesterday afternoon (can't say I was too pleased with the move, either, though I do like seeing Bio and OE employees posting on the same website again--that said, I would have preferred to have this site's NWN2 forums still up), and that some may have left due to feeling betrayed. So, who all is still here?
213374U Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Did I miss something? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
deganawida Posted January 20, 2005 Author Posted January 20, 2005 Look at the NWN2 forums, and you'll see.
kirottu Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Only ninj4s remain :ph34r: . Others have left. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Only ninj4s remain :ph34r: . Others have left. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Only we remained after that skirmish. With the Pirates.
deganawida Posted January 20, 2005 Author Posted January 20, 2005 I'm a ranger, not a ninja, nor a pirate.
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 If you don't join us, you will perish. Indefinately.
deganawida Posted January 20, 2005 Author Posted January 20, 2005 I trained with the Togakure Ryu. Does that count?
Phosphor Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 We're looking at having something to fill the gap, so to speak. Some ideas have apparently come from Obsidian internally in regards to having something in place of the NWN2 fora (no, not a new game announcement!). Perhaps a more dedicated CRPG fora or something like that. I'll do my best to keep people posted on what's going on.
Judge Hades Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Why bother, Phospher? The reasons why people were here was because of the NWN 2 forums now that KotOR 2 is released on X-Box and soon to be released for the PC. This move killed the community here and nothing is going to bring it back short of a new game announcement or the reopening of the NWN 2 forums here. It would be like putting a band aid on a multiple fracture.
kirottu Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 a new game announcement! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wheee!!! I vote for TORN! I miss the sidhe. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
deganawida Posted January 20, 2005 Author Posted January 20, 2005 Man, TORN being revived would be awesome.
Phosphor Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I hear you, and of course it's all something utterly out of my hands. The best I can do is attempt to relay information (I've brought stuff up in the Mod forum as well, stuff that you guys have suggested and commented on) at this point. Basically I just want to point out that the collective "you guys" are not being ignored.
Judge Hades Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 NO TORN! NO JEFFERSON! NO VAN BUREN! Those games are dead! So is my interest in NWN 2. EDIT: Thanks for the information relay, Phospher. It is appreciated. I just wish they gave us prior information before this lame arse move.
Phosphor Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 a new game announcement! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wheee!!! I vote for TORN! I miss the sidhe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *sigh* I said NOT a new game announcement. Stop manipulating my words
deganawida Posted January 20, 2005 Author Posted January 20, 2005 Thanks for that, Phosphor. At least there's a bit more communication going 'round this time.
Judge Hades Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I am really disappointed with Obsidian by this. I thought they actually cared enough about their fanbase enough to give us fair warnings before doing major changes like this. Communication is always good.

Phosphor Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 The decision was made to not say anything in advance, because we knew there'd be people upset, and we wanted to keep the outcry to a minimum. My understanding was the hope was people would just go with it at the point of the move, rather than being up in arms in the days leading up to the move before going with it.

The only problem with those types of arrangements is that they leave choas and ill will behind as a side effect. Luckily we haven't had any of the chaos...at least to my knowledge.
kirottu Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Well they succeeded keeping outcry to a minimum. Personally I don This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
Judge Hades Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 So they prefer to be RUDE over being considerate. That really shows how much they reallly care about their fanbase.
