I think that having a having a section for each worlds player events would be fine however I think that doing what has been done, leaving them and the stories in the general section for the game world is the best method. I personally dont visit that often the recruiting or marketplace forums that much but check back in the general section nearly every 10 minutes or will hit refresh every few minutes if im not in game.

I was a little peeved to go to the forum for the game world I play on, Syntax, and found all the recent player events and recent roleplay had been moved. I calmed down after a brief moment of *CENSORED*!?! and thought about things.

The events and roleplay were on the gameworld forums for a reason Walrus, namely, because they were concerning the players on that server. Now I guess it's pointless to post any RP (which sometimes have events to go with them) or player events (which are more often than not on Syntax to be RP related) on the gameworld forums and try to get people on those servers involved and stop the bleeding while we wait for LE to start up eh? I've watched a lot of people walk away from this game and I have a feeling that more will probably go now that all server specific RP has to be in a single forum with everyone elses RP. Now, when RP of one server gets mixed up with the RP of other servers, it will create confusion as people try to figure out which is what and where and tags will become horrendously long.

 Of Forums and Brick walls. (The Next RP Chapter in the Saga of Killmajumbon00b for Syntax concerning the Cypherites of Syntax and not the Cypherites of any other server, nor is it related to the Tale of Killmajumbon00b which is occuring on blah blah blah... ) 

 ((Yes Dorothy, even when kinda mad/disappointed, I have a sense of humour.))

This is fine but we would really like our stories to be seen by the members of our own world in our own world forum.  Honestly, how many people would make a level 2 noob to participate in an event on another world?

 

We really like having our stories on our own world forum, as it does apply specifically to the gaming world and ongoing storyline of Recursion, not the entire matrix.  Posting a story about a character in the general posting area of Recursion is not against the forum rules.  It is about a player in Recursion.  It is not trolling.  They are well written and specific to the Matrix and Recursion.

 

We have always done this.  Even when I first started playing and posting my stories in the general area so that the people I play with could see, I asked them if they minded.  No one did.  We have all encouraged our writers to continue to post their stories there.  We would like to keep doing so, or to have specific "player event" forum in the same area as "Marketplace," "General," and "Recruiting" for each server.

I vote to have an Events forum in the World Section.

 

Matter of fact why not do the best of both worlds.

 

Example

 

World1

  --General

  --Markeplace

  --Recruiting

  --Events

 

World2

  --General

  --Markeplace

  --Recruiting

  --Events

3 seperate player event forums would be a good idea.

 

On a slightly realted note, a seperate RP forum for each world.  I went to check the Syntax forums earlier and found, to my horror, that all teh RP threads have been moved to the next renaissance forum.

 

I found it was much better haveing them in the Syntax forum as we actually know and interect with teh people that the RP threads are about, having them all in the NR forum makes it so much harder to keep track of evolving stories and trying to separate which threads are actually from syntax is time consuming.

 

So an RP forum for each world would be a good idea, either that or just leave those threads where they are.

I agree that the RP and Players events sections should be sub-divisions of each player world. For ease of navigation and moderation for all. Also, since the merge, there are many persons on each server who are new to each other. Some are doing parties, RP events, etc. as a way to bring the old worlds into one.

Having to search through hundreds of posts to find ones that applies to your server is tedious and unnecessary. Any person from another server wishing to learn about the atmosphere on another can easily find that information as well, if the forums are separate.

 

The RP, player events and PVP postings are what brings a certain "atmosphere" to each playing ground. It will be a further confused mess (as it is now look at the Next Renaissance board) if it's not divided among worlds. It also assists us to learn one another as a community and keep current on what is going on daily. Please do not take away what we had left.

 

I personally think that Events should not be branched under World forums, I would prefer people announce their events in the general world forum, as more people see it and participate.  The percentage of people that would actually view the World Event forum, IMO, would be quite low, damaging turnout for player held events.

 

As far as RP is concerned, I feel that those threads very quickly get lost in the mess of the general forums because the people who really are interested may not have the time or even know to sort through the rest.  I would like to see an RP forum that was world specific, however, our posters could take it upon themselves to identify what type of post it is in the subject line.  Enforcing this would be difficult, I suppose, but it would look something like Lady Return's post:

 

Story: Fever Pitch

 

Everyone immediately knows it is a story.  Same for events.  The Hunt for Azyanna could read in the subject line:

 

Event: The Hunt for Azyanna

 

I know some people already mentioned this, but I"m just adding on to it.  I just enjoy how our world forums are all about us and our players, if that means events and RP too, I'm all for that as well.
