Topic: Forum Management
Hey all.
Okay I had a thought for the Forum Reps.
I have talked to quiet a few GM's over the last month and they all seem to say that the forums and the players who post on it are an invaluable source of ideas and help for them.
This is nice to hear but one thing you should know about us gamers is in my experience that we are all, to one degree or another, attention starved little girls who desperately want approval from daddy... who in this case is the DEV team.
But daddy has lots and lots of children, so cant give us all the attention we want. So what to do?
Answer: If you do adopt an idea from a player or maybe a forum discussion... credit it! Tell us where you got the idea. Say thank you! Be as specific as you can. Try to avoid things like'We thank the players for this idea.' Cos that just sounds empty and fake. Use names!
Trust me when I say it will work WONDERS for forum moral, and player loyalty!
