Tales from the Tavern: Volume XII

While I’ve been spending all my free time in Age of Conan on the Tyranny server killing fools, the forums have continued to march on here at Nerfbat. Instead of writing a compelling post or podcast (I blame Danuser… and he’s going out of town today so it’ll be a while before the next shows up), I’ll go ahead and rely on others to do it for me. Here’s some of the latest from the Nerfbat Forums…

• “Mature Communities”: Why do some companies boast about their game having a mature community when it’s usually a load of crap (and hardly in the hands of the company anyway)? Started by Nybling
• How Important is “Massively?”: Is it important to have lots of people in a world? What about in the same place? Is it okay to instance heavily? Started by jason
• In-Game “Newspaper” + Guild Feature: What are your thoughts on allowing guilds to have multiple rosters (one roster for “alt” characters)? What about a “Help Wanted” type in-game newspaper? Started by Nybling
• FallenSword: Unfortunately, the quotes trend didn’t continue in this subject. Anyway, this is a thread discussing the web game called “FallenSword” (woo quotes!). Started by Nybling
• Stop Calling it That!!!: Sometimes developers use very technical terminology on forums, in interviews, or even *gasp* in-game. Does that hurt your immersion with the game, even when this terminology is used outside of it? Started by Makkaio
