That's the usual lurkers to active posters ratio on most public forums.
  • former Manasource Programmer
  • former TMW Pixel artist
  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Forums of games that are in early development usually don't get people posting a lot, and the primary posters are the devs. Actually, TMW has a really active amount of posters compared to a lot of games that are at a similar (if not further) point in the development.

And you are one of them.

IMO, no. The swords shouldn't be a reason to post something because most of it will be spam then. You should post because it adds something to the discussion, not because you want a better "status".

I think we shouldn't have ranks based on postcount - it makes people behave badly.

Regards.

I agree with these sentiments completely. I have been on forums where there are "awards" for posting a lot, and users tend to post just for the sake of raising their status. And the posts end up very low quality.
(also I would hide my post count since I think post counts are also somewhat stupid, but I guess these forums don't support that. :? )

I prefer that these users post nothing instead of creating topics like this.
