    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
    It's time for MMO-Champion forums to expand a little more and to (finally) open forums dedicated to other games! We now have a "Video Games" forum category with the following forums:

    1. Moderators:

      1. Lysah
      2. Radux
      3. 3clipse

      Forum Actions:

    2. Forum Actions:

    3. Forum Actions:

    4. Forum Actions:


    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.

You can also challenge Alexstrasza, the Life-Binder to a duel and become a Dragonslayer! On Friday, see the newest set, Throne of the Tides, before it hits stores. Bring your Worldbreaker Block Constructed deck and compete in the main event to win thousands of dollars in prizes. For a full schedule of events, visit the DMF Philadelphia page.

    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!

    And before someone points it out, yes, I know it's too late to open a Rift forum, but if I don't open one I'll have 100 angry ex-Rift players knocking at my door with pitchforks and baseball bats when I wake up.

    Diablo 3 forum is what I needed. Diablofans site is too heavy and slow to load.

    Thanks heaps for this Boubouille. I'd be your very own meat shield if you didn't put a RIFT forum up just for making a SW:TOR forum !

    (...), it just mean that we don't have a 5k+ replies thread about it, because not enough people are interested.

    Too late?

    I'm in favor of these new forums! I've especially wanted a dedicated place to discuss SWTOR with the community here.

    Thanks Guys!! Now I don't have to leave MMO-C behind when I start playing SWTOR or GW2. I know a lot of people have been asking for these for a while so I really nice to see you guys actually listen.

    Also the thread itself is more than enough for us.

    That was mostly a comment directed at HoN/DoTA 2 players yeah. LoL is much much more popular than HoN and even if people have their personal preferences, we can't have a HoN forum just because we have a LoL one.

    The other alternative was to have a MOBA forum but I didn't really want to mix up HoN, LoL, and DoTA players in the same forum, I like when my users don't try to kill each other.

    NOT YET. But yeah, I was trolling. Couldn't help it. Sorry.


    Anyway, I still hope for the MMO-Champ mascot to return. I liked that guy and now all I see is a 16*16px version of him.
