You Want To Be Proud Of This MMO

ArchivedUser

"Look. This Here. This Is My Home, And I'm Proud Of It."

I said this exact phrase in another thread on this forum. We were discussing something about Ashes Of Creation, and finished my point by saying that this game is something I want to hang my hat on and say: "Look. This here. This is my home, and I'm proud of it."

I wasn't referring to a Freehold or city mansion, but the entire game itself. I feel this is something that each and every member of this forum community can agree on (for once). We all desperately want to see this MMO succeed in providing for us that sense of belonging that we've missed from previous MMOs, that sense of "home".

I know you miss it, I have empathy, I feel it too. The reason we are all so passionate, one way or another, on this forum is because we so badly want this Ashes of Creation to be everything that is lacking in other games. Don't be angry with the other forum goer who's opinion is different than yours. That person ALSO wants to see this game succeed.

At least we all have that in common.

Well said @Krojak. I would suggest that heated debates and stormy exchanges at inevitable and part of the course as far as MMO forums go. Everyone should heed your words my friend, but it's also evident, to my mind, that this is probably the friendliest community I've encountered online since LOTRO. The nature of her is bound to change as more and more players join the community, but it will be fundamentally up to the Ashes "Golden Oldies" to keep our forum as we want it and help steer her from the mirky waters to the open skies.

There is definitely a good vibe here and on Discord.  Especially when the dev's are so inclined to pop on and give a thought.  I don't know that I've seen devs jump on discord as much as the AOC team.

And there will always have that one or two guys in the community looking to stir trouble... I'm looking at you Full Loot thread creator...

I look forward to the day where our "home" has progressed to the point where I can meet 'ye, and already oh so many others here, in a tavern to share an ale after a day's adventuring! 

Gods forbid, should this home never become a reality, it shan't be for lack of effort on our own behalf, I say!  

And 'yer right, the foundation has been laid here by many passionate folks such as yourself, so I have little doubt in me mind that clearer heads shall always prevail when tempers flare because we are all here united for the victory of Ashes!

Aye! I've been looking for that exact thing @Krojak, well said. 
I've backed Star Citizen with the same idea, though I feel like this game will be here first haha.

Also, you guys talk a lot on the discord, I've felt reluctant to mix myself into it. It's a scary place

My request was sincere I promise you I seldom have the time to watch such things never mind undertake the craft myself so I admire those that invest into their games and their communities. It's certainly not abstract advertising is it. Well, if ever you do have the urge to share your creations, I for one will be waiting for the invite. ^^

What are you all doing in my home? Who let you in here?!?!?

Chatting with you all has been a pleasure, and if the general attitude of our community can be maintained through the live launch of the game, we'll all be winners

I couldn't agree with you more. When I talk to my friends about this game, they think I'm just hype of possible game mechanics or systems the Intrepid Team is talking about. No, I'm passionate about what this game means. Finally we get a game that focuses on us as the player, not theme parks or playgrounds that hold your attention for a month then you give up on it. So far there has been a real community here. We talk to each other, some with a little more spice, and help each other out with answering questions and adding, or debating on ideas and how certain systems might work in the game.

Overall, I believe this game is going to make World of Warcraft, and other AAA MMOs look like Runescape. The rides are fun the first time around, but after the initial rush you want to just go home where the food isn't overpriced and you don't have to wonder which child you are going to sell in order to get the fancy trinkets. Down with theme parks, down with limited playgrounds and death to pay to win!

It isn't the stars that mark your contribution here, it's essentially your post count and your familiarity with others in the community, and you already have that @possum Think of all the DOZENS of posters you've inspired here to..........to........get a better sig
