I know most of the people here and the discussions are more personal.

The added bonus is that if you flip out and go crazy when you can't the truth on the differences between rogues and warriors, the forum account is not tied to your WoW account.

Sigh...do I have to go through this again? Rogues have possum throwing weapons, Warriors prefer noodles.

The IQ seems decidedly higher here, or maybe the smaller quantity of posts makes the more intelligent ones easier to find.

I started using VN for AC, lurked for a year or so before registering. It's the first message board I ever registered for, so it feels like home to me. Some of the people here I've known for close to a decade and had some awesomely unbelievable conversations with. Some I've met irl, some I've ordered pizza for lol

If I started playing again, which I'm getting that itch... I'd probably find myself on the Blizzard forums more just because I'm usually after class specific information, but I'm just wondering what you active players think about the differences between the two forums and, basically, why you're here at all.

Thx.

Two things;

1, The intelligence level here seems to far exceed that of the official forum.

2, I have heard it claimed many times that on the official forums you have a lot of Blizzard employees (not the Blues) and in particular, paid thread manipulators whom have been hired to protect the game and publishers image. Which is not surprising most big companies that are traded publicly do that kind of thing. They troll around for threads critical of Blizzard or WoW then either try to spin them, derail them, down play them, or even discredit them with outright lies.

Which would explain why there are so many Blizz can do no wrong, WoW is perfect, there is nothing wrong here BSer's on that forum and yet so little here. Then again from what I have seen few here would buy their BS anyway.

Where else can you throw in .."Its SUB, not HUB" at the end of your post, and have people actually understand what the hell you are talking about?

VN > all.

The thing is, even though we spend most of our time in junior high style locker room ribbing sessions (out of boredom), whenever I actually do want real information, I post the question here and get the correct information immediately.

On the official forums, my question will be on page 3 with no answer in seconds.


There is no reason to go anywhere but VN for all your MMO needs.

This. We get the best of both worlds when posing a question here: a solid round of distraction to amuse yourself with while waiting for whatever you're waiting on (dinner, authenticators, whatever) and a filter for the massive pile of detritus that is the battle.net forums (and most others). Basically, if you can't find it in the official forums sticky threads, you can probably find someone here who's already found it elsewhere.

Agreed!

I mean, can you imagine asking the difference between a rogue and a warrior on the official forums? Would not be half as entertaining...er... I mean educational...

I come here for the social aspect. This place is extended internet family. It's entertaining, some people are horribly sarcastic, and most are extremely intelligent. And it's got soul.

You are all completely out of your minds, making you some of the sanest people around.
