I guess our individual server forums (which aren't hero/villain split Stateside) will become the main haunt for intra-EU sociability...

TBH always thought it's better to have just server-based rather than server-faction. So many people play both blue & red on the same server that all the EU organisation means is that you have twice as many forums to check. And co-op TF/SFs make sense to arrange in a server-specific forum.

PS - make sure the current forum name is the one you want to keep as Avatea said it won't be changeable in the future. Mr. Damz_ I'm looking at you (and stop doing that, it's unsanitary).
[/ QUOTE ]
But but that means i have to pick a name and stick to it? 
Hmmm damz or noobbuster_damz
Hope they're ready for us!

I'm changing mine, then. I'm no longer all that Happy...
They actually seem quite looking forward to it. To whit...

"Meanwhile, there are several posters over there I'm looking forward to regularly interacting with. They're extremely knowledgeable of the game, wryly witty, and quite erudite. It's like getting several more mes." - Zombie_Man

Thanks for the fun in the EU forums! It was good while it lasted and now some of you will get what you wished for... hope it doesn't turn into a bitter little pill.

I'd like to second this
On the bright side, we will see more rednames and the US boards badly need more DOOOM! :P
My deviantART page (warning some images nsfw)
GGRRR Comic Series GGRRR Comics on Facebook
Dooooommmmm
hehe, always wanted to say that. 
Wonder how long before we scare the Dev's off complelty.
I have mixed feelings about this so far, i'd be inclining towards blue's sentiments about people being drowned out
.....hmm now to decide whether to change forum name or not
It has been fun, and can't wait to get some player-to-dev interaction 
Only thing I dislike is that the current forum's character limit for names is 5, can't call myself Beet 
I am the Blaster, I have filled the role of Tank, Controller and Defender
Sometimes all at once.
Union EU player! Pip pip, tally ho, top hats and tea etc etc
The server sections will become a cosy fireside, with big comfy seats and your favourite tipple on the side-table next to you. Good, sensible conversation in the drawing room, while the riff-raff outside scream at each other over what the best colour for their imps are.

Merge is good!
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Me too. While we will obviously all still be on the "same forum" as such it will feel a lot different.
But can they handle our weekend posts?

Just as long as tea remains the Official Beverage of the Fora; I'm not having that Mountain Dew muck within a mile of me. 'Course, with a mod named "'Av a tea", my hopes remain high.
Cancelled in Three - MA ID #34608. Please play and comment! Top 10 placing in Projectionist's MA contest!
Wonder how this will change names.
F.ex: Currently my name here is "Lady_Arete". Wonder if in the new forum we will have this option: "Lady Arete" without that _. ;P

I will be keeping my name
And if anyone tries to take it from me then thy can sample the European brand of laser-based obliteration! With prejudice!

Same here Techbot.. I like my name.
Another thought that hit me was...
I hope this will not be a reality:
I also have a trial account on the US, called ..gah shock "Lady_Arete". Hope this will not mean that on the new forum I will be called "Lady_Arete1".
edit:
Or "Your name seems already to have been taken by another player, choose your new name"

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have made the EU forum what it was, for 4 years of witty repartee (and the not so witty one too, at times) and express how much I will miss you guys. Well, some of you... Everything will soon be drowned in a much larger sea where only those with very high post counts are heard.
[/ QUOTE ]
Don't worry BlueRabbit, I'll be forcing my awful puns on our American cousins too, as well as taking great delight in confuzzling them with Forum Roleplay.
The amount of great characters we have on the EU forums I believe it is them that should phear our terrible coming.
Off to the Americans? Cool, their boards are currently far more lively, especially the AT ones.

I second that. The Yanky forumites who think that '[censored] lol u onli got 2k post u n00b' will pretty much be forced to eat there words. You can't discount people who have also been playing the game for as long, if not longer than you have.
Pity I'll have to curb in the vitriol a bit or maybe not, depends if I'm going to embrace the image of a bad guy, eh?

We need a US v EU competition of some sort now!
Winners get to keep their names!

This made me laugh from US forums
"Golden_Girl was the first thing that came to mind when I read about the merge with the Euro boards. "
and
"Golden_Girl came to the US forum for a while. During the few months she was here, she flooded the forums. She was in every thread with single sentence responses. I think her longest post ever was 3-4 sentences. To me, it seemed she was monitoring the forums all day, every day. She probably got the 'Forum Cartel' title in record time. "

And there was me accused of making useless posts to get my post count up 
OT:
The change could be good in some ways but bad in others.
It could be good because people can get their questions answered better and by more people etc
It could be bad because there are some that think they are better than us
It could be good because of more interaction with a large number of players
It could be bad because of more interaction with a large number of players
For me personally, i'm gonna go with the idea, find out what its like, and then close my forum account if i don't like the change.
It's now Issue 21 and I am back!
