Or will it? What d oyou lot believe? will forums like this one be exchanged whit games and virtual worlds in 3D?

I would personally hate it, since I like forums like this one much better, and never really liked games like WoW or games where it just is competition... What I like about forums is to sit down and relax, have something fun beside the homeowrk and to get new friends... It van be argued that it will be the same in games and 3D worlds, but I think it is really more distraccting and annoying than "cool" to do all these moves and emmotions http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Our smilies are much better http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/bigtears.gif

Well, what do you lot think? Will places like these forums be exchanged whit games and more visually virtual worlds were it again is looks, moves and your abbbility to jump around doing all the cool stuff in these games that decides what kind of people are together, rather than interrests and personalities like here?

[GrimReaper84_AU]

I see yah point mate. I've had a hell of a lot of fun with my old guild back in my NWN days, the antics we got up to put this place to shame.

But forums are always a good place to <STRIKE>spam</STRIKE>, put your mind at ease, <STRIKE>spam</STRIKE>, share thoughts/ideas/ <STRIKE>spam</STRIKE> with others, <STRIKE>spam</STRIKE>, meet other colourful individuals, oh and spam.. uhhh, wait no.. not spam.. spamming is bad! BAD, BAD SPAM!

[Madman_V3N0M]

No way! For one thing forums are a lot more accesible(don't you have to pay to play wow?) and it costs a lot lesds resources. And of course you have sooooo many topics and stuff...*hick*

[Alderbranchh]

I agree with all of the above... and I ban spammers... But since all of you guys just post interesting things its no worries http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

I`d hate to think that forums as we know them would die, the best way to keep them alive is to keep using them.

I neither believe they'll die... But the roles of forums such as these will decline http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif most likely, once in the far far future, forums like these will only be for the "nerds" or intellectual if you prefeer... but that is most likely not to happen in our lifetime, althoug their roles will dimnish a lot in our lifetime... just think once the 3 - dimensional screens come http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/blink.gif

[viktor86]

Actually, at the rate that people join these forums - it is hard to imagine it. OK, I know, I know...most of them join the forums just to post a question that's already been posted and then get their behind kicked by senior members and never think of posting again or joining a discussion, but every once in a while, a brave new ENFP comes and starts spamming his thoughts because he wants to be the center of attention, at least for a momment. The he/she develops a taste for forums and 'communicating' with people and starts joining all manners of forums and stuff. But he still dearly remembers his first forum/group/virtual entity with people and remains honest to it - sometimes he/she doesn't even wish to post, just to read what others have posted.

"One only speaks to oneself if there are no other's partaking in that activity; the only true madmen are people who speak to themselves in public and laugh histerically because they believe that some people on the bus could fetch large sums of experience points if killed, not to mention those nice +3 Daggers that they crave for." - Memoirs of Sir Spammalot

"Nice sparks keep flying about the tavern with
people getting drunk and tales being told,
while the world crumbles at the feet of tyrants
who wish for nothing but a +3 sword." - Memoirs of Sir Spammalot, Chapter III - The Poems of a Wicked D&D World

Anyway, hooray for Lion King! I just watched it again after five years and it's still as good as it was. The tavern shall not die.

BTW, Sir Spammalot is a Monty Python trademark, so I'm actually violating someone's copyright...just kidding, nobody OWNS Sir Spammalot, he is a fictional hero and one of my alter-egos. The other one is named Goran and he comes out when I'm drunk and violent (hasn't happened in a while, though - I hardly remember the chap). Sir Spammalot is the alter-ego which shines through me while I'm on the bus (or any other form of mass-transit) and I imagine all the poetry and tales connected to the worlds of fantasy I've experienced through gaming, reading and writting. It keeps my mood high in the sky - and entertains me when I'm alone.

I don't know if anyone has read one of the HOMMIV reviews - I couldn't stop laughing. Erutan Revol (read it backwards) is the nature hero...for some unknown reason. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif And Spazz Maticus actually sounds like it's a name that the creators came up with while being extremly drunk...quote from the review: "Spazz Maticus?!

Yes. Which really turns the entire tavern into one big chat thread, and makes us mindless spammers incapable of spamming about anything except spam itself, hurting one another (that's the most popular), and dominating the world through subtle economic footholds, torture, revenge and extortion.
