New Video Games Forums, Artworks, Comics, Setup of the Month

Nothing really new today as we're still waiting for Patch 4.3 to hit the test realms, which is probably the perfect opportunity to launch new forums!

MMO-Champion - New Video Games Discussions Forums

These new forums should give a little more freedom to the growing community on the Video Games forums and should make most of you guys happier. If you're not happy enough, you can probably find an answer to your angry questions below.

Why didn't you open a forum for [insert game here] when you opened one for [insert similar game here]??? [insult here]
We only opened forums for games that already have a lot of activity on the Video Games forum in the first place. If your game isn't here, it just mean that we don't have a 5k+ replies thread about it, because not enough people are interested. Before someone points it out, 2 of the games with a new forum don't fill this requirements but I wanted them around anyway.

Where are the Off-Topic forums? I can't find them on the forum index!
The Off-Topic forums have been moved below the Class discussions forums, the entire section was just growing too big and WoW is still the main reason why people come to this site. Realistically you can still use the small arrow on the right of each category bar to collapse the entire category.

I can't see the new forums in "Recent Forum Posts" on the front page.
Intended, it would be too confusing for people looking for WoW threads (a huge majority of the visitors) to click something like "Best Farming Spots?" and end up in a Star Wars thread. For the moment, these forums won't show up on the front page but hopefully we'll have a way to do that in a non-annoying way soon.

I want to moderate one of the new forums!
Moderator Applications for the new forums will be open within 1 or 2 weeks, just to have time to identify people who will actually post there.

Computers - Setup of the Month (by chaud)
Each month or every 2 months, depending on the hardware evolutions, the lovely chaud will work on a couple of hardware setups for those of you who are thinking of upgrading their computer!

This month
Now is a good time to buy a SSD, as the next generation is a good while away and the current prices are fairly flat. New AMD CPUs are rumored to arrive mid October, no confirmed information on them so far. New AMD GPUs are also rumored to be coming sometime in Q4 this year if you are thinking about upgrading.

Make sure to keep your AMD and Nvidia drivers up to date.

Don't hesitate to post any feedback in the comments of that news post, and don't forget to visit the Computer Forum for any extra questions!

    Badbad idea... i really hoped MMO would atleast keep GW2 and TOR away from this forums, so all these guys screaming 'GW2/TOR/RIFT are/is going to destroy WOW' retards would finally be drawn away from here.

    Thus begins the death of WoW :P
    Pretty stupid accesment tbh, mmo champion only has 40k active members, WoW subscription base is about 11million. I fail to see how MMO champion opening new forums = death of wow, your just an idiot pure and simple.

    Badbad idea... i really hoped MMO would atleast keep GW2 and TOR away from this forums, so all these guys screaming 'GW2/TOR/RIFT are/is going to destroy WOW' retards would finally be drawn away from here.
    That wouldn't work anyway, people like bitching and trying to drag WoW down. And if SWTOR ever grows into a WoW size game you'll have people saying the same crap there.

    Why didn't you open a forum for Hello Kitty Island Adventure when you opened one for Rift??? You son of a motherless ogre!

    You really hoped they would have kept away those forums because you don't like the games. Stop being so narrow minded, now they have their own section, you wont even see it in the "new post" section on the front page. That in itself should make you happy, just don't go reading the forum, problem solved.

    Also stop flinging around words like "retard", it'll just make you seem uneducated and...

    I think this change is great.

    Oh man, a rift forum! I already had to remove wowinsider's RSS feed because I was tired of reading about rift on a wow site. Hopefully this new forum will contain the rift stuff into a single place.

    Why must every single new MMO be the WOW KILLER!!!? Whats wrong with just having more options to choose from?

    No MMO coming is going to kill WoW. Ever. Aion Failed, Warhammer Failed, age of Conan failed, Rift failed, Star Trek Online failed, DC Universe failed, Champions online failed. How many more do you need to fail to kill WoW?

    WoW won't die unless Blizzard decide to pull the plug which will never happen. They remain to be the most popular and most persistent MMO on the market.

    The announcement and Release of their next expansion will boost subscribers like it always does. I'm looking forward to Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3, Battlefield 3 and SWTOR might be played gameplay not looking so great.... but Im more anxious to see the new WoW expansion details! What new hero class may it bring? and where will we travel next? what new spells/talents will the current classes get? These things have me extremely anxious for BlizzCon or whenever Boub leaks info! like he did with Cata. Lol 'boub leak' teehee xD

    Thanks a lot for the new forums! I really dont like trying to discuss a topic in a 5k+ replies thread, but now when we can open our own topics about it, its so much much better, Im so happy for this! Thanks a lot boub, and even though I play both HoN and LoL, I think it was a good choice to have a LoL forum instead of a MOBA/HoN/DotA2 Forum, you already stated why though, so instead of repeating you Im gonna go back to thosse forums and keep spa... *cough* posting constructive and helpful posts, yepp, exactly that.
