...but keep it on topic.
I'll add a thread for suggesting improvements to our work on the bulletin board later. I appreciate your eagernes to help us out, but please let this thread continue to be a feedback thread on the changes in the first post.
Bionitrous, I see your point about the Story and Role-Playing forums. My thought about the Story forum is that it might give players the impression that we will tell the story through this forum, which we will not.
The story has been told through the web site all the time, and also through the movies while they were running. We are currently looking into several ways of bringing the story to the players, but I don't think using the bulletin board as a main source is a good option.
In addition there are small stories in addition to the main story. Having a forum named Story might pull attention only to the main scheme and away from everything else, something we do not want. It should be a place for everything that happens on Rubi-Ka, not just what Radiman and Ross have a part in.
Perhaps another name than Role-Playing would be fit for the joined forum? Or at least another name on the Story forum if we keep them separate? Let me know what you think.
Zarrot, good idea. We'll most likely do that.
Natelie and Kirrana, your suggestions are noted, and we will discuss them in the team. I'll add a thread for discussing it more with you players after that.
Intra, I can't promise that the designers will have time to stop by and have discussions with you. That would simply take too much of their time. But you never know. Anyhow, the forum will most likely be one of our main sources for suggestions and questions for the dev team (sided with the profession forums), and should get plenty of attention.
And hey, Natelie, Cosmik didn't open th... oh, nevermind. Whatever.
