Yes, I just moved 4 games to the graveyard. If you feel like bitching and moaning, make your case here.

This doesn't mean you can't talk about the games or that we'll think less of you for doing so, quite the opposite, I just want forums that get the fewest posts out of the way for easier browsing. Sorry if this means one more click for you folks still addicted.

Magic: The Gathering is a special case. I think Wizards fucked up the game so fucking hard and continue to do so that this is a political statement. Feel free to keep talking there as I'll still be reading and hoping for the best. Right now, I'm fairly sure it's got an incurable cancer though. They should be proving me wrong any day though, right? RIGHT?

I remember when you were so pscyhed about version 3. That was like...2 or 3 years ago. Ha.

Moving to the graveyard is fine.

So it is a matter of postcount? Fair enough. With the ADD on this board, the Graveyard will soon rise and swallow the whole site.

I can understand UO because we just go round and round and I can be one of the worst on that. But I wonder if maybe a better answer for current games like EQ2 or LOTRO is to just delete the sections and have the stuff go here.

If you can read this, you're on a board populated by misogynist assholes.

At least give us a combined forum for EQ2/LotRO. Trashing those two and leaving Pirates is laughable. Pirates and Eve should be combined since the f13 player overlap is high.

Also, nice timing!

www.eurogamer.net reporting Mines of Moria expansion for yearend.

Quote
Lord of the Rings Online developer Turbine unveiled the second volume of the Tolkein-licensed massively multiplayer RPG at Connect 08 in Birmingham today.

Speaking at the Codemasters Online Gaming event, executive producer Jeffrey Steefel said it will be titled The Mines of Moria and is down for a release before the end of the year. It will be the first of a series of planned yearly updates to Lord of the Rings Online.

The Mines of Moria will take high-level players out of the kingdom of Eriador and into the goblin-infested underground world, formerly a dwarven kingdom, just after the Fellowship of the Ring has passed through it in the events of the books. The Mines will be a reproduced as a single, continuous space in the game.

Players will face off against bosses famous from Tolkien lore - The Balrog and The Watcher. Steefel promised fighting the former in particular would be an "unforgettable" experience, but he didn't explain how it would fit into the official Lord of the Rings continuity.

Ten new levels will be added to the game, raising the cap from 50 to 60. In addition there will be two new classes, the Warden and the Runekeeper. Steefel refused to elaborate on these, promising more information in the coming months. They sound like a tank and caster to us but that's just a guess.

A new Legendary items system will also be introduced. This will essentially allow certain equipment - armour, weapons and shields - to develop its own advancement path alongside the player character, gaining experience, deeds and legacies, and becoming an intrinsic part of high-level players' character builds.

Other features announced include a large number of instances for groups of 3, 5, 12 and 24 players, new monster player scenarios, a new system of leaderboards and achievement rankings, dynamic lighting effects, more environment-aware AI, and a chance to join the Fellowship in Lorien, tying players even more closely into the Lord of the Rings storyline.

To promote the new expansion, Turbine has just launched a website: unlocktheminesofmoria.com. You can register there now for a chance to play though a web adventure that will unlock in-game deeds and items for your LOTRO character, as well as previewing the events of the new volume. The first web minigame, King Under the Mountain, launches on the site on March 31st.

Steefel also mentioned that LOTRO would be launched in Russia, China and Korea this year, and provided some details of the next free updates to the game - Books 13 and 14. Book 13 will feature a new region, the introduction of a hobby system with fishing, and improvements to the game's 'looking for group' interface.

Look out for further updates from Connect 08 - including more on Lord of the Rings Online and NetDevil's space combat MMO Jumpgate Evolution - in the coming days.

I just resubbed a few days ago, put a few hours into a new character.  This has me intrigued to actually keep playing.  Gotta love small group content.

Shiznitz: I'm not going to combine things. Those forums are still easily accessible and keep Game Posts for Single Games On That Forum.

Also, moving to the graveyard isn't f13 saying the Game is dead. It's more a clutter issue in terms of stickied subforums than anything else for things that move desperately slow.

Pirates is still in the infancy period. Don't think I didn't think about moving it too though.

My guild of MMO nomads (which started in EQ and has a presence in most betas/retail games) has recently gone EQ2 - WoW - LotRO - WoW - EQ2. They've settled on EQ2 for a longer time than anything in recent memory. I've never been able to get into it, but their upbeat talk had me watching the F13 EQ2 forum - didn't really seem that dead.

Sorry to see LOTOR board go under, guess I'll wade thru the cesspool of Vault and the official forums now.  But it is your site.

Man that Moria expansion sounds sweet!  10 levels of pure Moria!  I do hope they add an overland path back to Eriador, ala the region of Hollin, would hate to have a teleport from Rivendell.  Definately sounds like at least one zone of Lorien.

Take care LOTRO posters!

You really ought to just roll them back into the main MMO forum.  At this rate it's gonna be WoW, Starcraft Online, and 700 graveyard forums in a couple years.

No one's stopping you from posting there.  A singular post talking about LOTRO first expansion could even be in this forum.  ACK!

Sure. That's fine.

I'd rather keep eq2 posts in an EQ2 forum.

Not everything in a graveyard has to be completely dead. Zombies can be real. This is the internet.

I think the proposed rename would be fine.  For the sake of organizing keep the popular ones up top, and the less popular ones at the bottom.

As we eb and flow through various games it will at least keep the "HAY GUYZ!!!" chat into seperate, dedicated places.

Just rename the Goddamn thing and the stupid 'tards will realize they can post there.

As someone who likes his SWG/UO threads, I haven't had a problem posting in the Graveyard.  That being said, I can't imagine why one would believe that the assorted MMO discussions that go on here at f13 require fourteen (and counting) separate forums.

wut? 

General MMO is in General MMO.  EQ2 MMO is in EQ2 MMO.  So on and so forth - unless I get more drunk.

General MMO is more like "Upcoming MMO" while every released game that more than two people want to talk about has a subforum which will remain throughout all of eternity.  I mean having eight different forums for eight different games that get a combined two posts per week just seems a bit... odd to me.

Just rename the graveyard to something people are more likely to want to post in. Assuming that putting forums there isn't just a way of discouraging discussion.
