A while ago there was talk of an update or new forums or some such. I was wondering if there's any official news on whats happening with them, or whether they've gone the way of the CoX Vault - a pipe dream?

Avatea talked about it on the french board a few weeks ago... but you now... at the moment, the french board is quite... inaccessible.

IIRC, TRT got it pretty right I think they had some kind of bug with the forum they were developping, so they restart to "build" a new one. Anyway, TRT is right if you want a ETA.

Avatea won't mention anything (again) about the new forum unless it's absolutely 100% certain it absolutely will happen!

...trust me!

We are working on getting new forums but since the first processes initially took place a few months back, a few things happened that meant that the project had to be reconsidered, but not abandoned.

So in effect it's abandoned. Thanks for the update.

It'd be far cheaper and less hassle for Paragon Studios if they just ditched the official forums - we get all our news about the game from Massively and TenTonHammer anyway, long before someone decides to make an official post here...

I have to agree (with regards to the English speaking EU.community anyway), It would be a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Less administration for them, and we get to post somewhere where Devs browse more often.

But what happens to the French and German speaking parts of the EU.community though?, and are they even moderated anymore past patch notes being translated?.

I think Avatea still lurks in the shadows there, waiting to pounce on any French or German players who think they're not being watched

These current forums are pants. Invalid forms (after a small amount of time, annoying when you've written a significant post), crappy search function (no preview of post, actual finding of required text seems hit or miss) etc.. Also, needs moar pic sigs.

That is all.
