More community melding - IRC

[Aoyagi]

Project Eternity is most likely not going to have community based gameplay (also known as multiplayer), but that doesn't mean the community shouldn't bond, does it? Obviously, what I'm proposing is creating an IRC channel, preferably with ops that are somehow related to Obsidian (forum moderators and such).

It wouldn't even have to be solely focused on Eternity. Obsidian very has a large fanbase around the previous games as well, so it could be a general Obsidian chat that would be alive and have its use for eternity!

 

But seriously, I've been wishing for an Obsidian backed IRC channel for a while and now that the forums boil with activity, it might even happen.

 

...preferably on Esper.net

Obsidian's own Battle.net? I likeeeeeeeee.

Yeah, the official BIS IRC channel didn't actually work all that well, and I think there were issues in oversight of it.

 

Not against it, just saying that I'd imagine Feargus, Josh and others at Obsidian remember BIS IRC and may not be keen to restart such a thing. Or they could not care either. Still haven't developed much as a mind reader.

The times when Black Isle existed were...different, methinks. But, of course, you might be right. However, we'll never know unless some of the mentioned people share their thoughts, which is unlikely. Besides, I meant it more of a community thing, bothering the devs with it would be contraproductive and arrogant

Uhh...I wouldn't say Battle.net. There is no annoying auction, DRM, serverside playing, social network features or...well, basically anything else except for the chat.

Oh I'm sorry I haven't used battle.net since it was good. You know 1.0. Once I realized that Blizzard became what it is now, I stopped playing their games. So.....battle.net v. 1.0 YESSSSSS?

So, something like a forum you mean?

 

Yeah, I totally could support an Obsidian forum...

A forum you say? Brilliant idea, but what do we put it on?

We registered an IRC channel for the Obsidian Order, so if you don't mind the name we could offer this one. We are open to every one and we are definitely focused on Obsdian and Project Eternity.

 

It's #ObsidianOrderofEternity on QuakeNet. You can also access the channel via Browser from our Website http://www.obsidiano.../pages/chat.php

 

We are in the beginnings, so at the moment maybe there isn't someone to talk 24/7. But if we stay persistent and advertise it regulary we can grow over time.

Sigh, always quakenet ^^

 

But it's nice to have a channel no matter the network, of course.

Is the IRC channel still actively used at this time?  I went in there today and only saw like 3 other people that were being very silent.
