I think we should have a section specifically for WoW. There's quite a few members who play WoW, and it is easy to advertise on World Of Warcraft, as your allowed posting urls. It can be like the LPC Section. Let me know what you think/ideas tongue.gif

It could be a good idea. Opening it now probably wouldn't bring much activity, but once the expansion is out it'll have a lot more use. The only real problem with WoW is servers. If it was free to switch it'd be much better as we could make a codex guild etc, but everyone's pretty much playing a different game when it comes down to it.

Yea I was just thinking that, hard to have contests and other stuff cause most people only have characters on a few servers so how could you give gold as rewards tongue.gif But most people that we would get would be from whatever server we advertise on so it wouldn't be that big of a problem.. Then as it gets bigger we'd get more members from all different servers.

And having it now wouldn't hurt, codex has such little activity at the moment that the few members codex has already that play would help.

Well if it gets enough demand, we can add a poll to this topic. I don't care either way. If you guys think it'll help the activity slump, sounds good to me. tongue.gif

I think he's right.
It would bring alot of new people in, especially if we got some guides up for different classes and things.

I play WoW, but in fairness I don't think that a WoW section would help to keep WoW players active if they wern't already bound to the community or played some of the other games that are discussed here.

However, it can't hurt to give it a go smile.gif.

That doesn't even make sense tongue.gif
LPC brought in tons of members that weren't already active on Codex.

I really think it could work but it'd mean we would have to choose a server as our main focus. Basically so members we're bringing in come from that server, people start start playing join that server etc. Just be ready for a big argument on which to choose.

Could focus on a few servers instead of one in particular. Maybe 2 on horde us server, 2 alliance us server and one on each on europe server.

Which part didn't make sense?

Perhaps I was unclear, I think that people that are only playing WoW won't stick to a community with a small board dedicated to WoW, however, I think that people that played some of the other games with boards here too may decide to stick around.

You've been here since 04...The section was around since I joined in 05...The section was dead from then until a few months ago when it was removed.

Is hard to bring in WOW members here because most of them are already bound by the official WOW site's forum.

WoW is a big game. A small sub forum isn't going to increase activity.

I know that I play WoW a lot. I also no I would never come to Codex to ask questions about WoW, I already have forums for that. Codex would just be a place to talk about it. And that gets boring after a while.

It was basically the only forum for LPC that actually had help files. Also, we had a lot of high ranking players in the Codex gang, so when they RAPED people, they said 'come to codex for LPC help'.

Its a good advertising technique. Codex can't offer that for WoW.

C'mon man, are you seriously comparing WoW to LPC? tongue.gif WoW has official forums that are plastered with members aswel as an unlimited amount of dedicated fan sites. LPC is a small text-based game played mostly by chavs that wish they had the balls to do that kind of damage in real life. We're the best they have tongue.gif

Technically we can tongue.gif There are always guilds well known, for example MoX on my horde server or To Be Continued on my Alliance server. If Codex created a guild of that standard, I guarantee you wouldn't be able to handle the amount of members you got.
