How Org could better serve the needs of MP players,Clans and the MP community?

Dont worry worry about competing with the twc for the multiplayers they dont make any effort at all for multiplayer, simply bringing up a thread asking for a shogun 2 multiplayer forum brings the single player trolls on that site sniffing around. TWC is a single player dominated site and is popular because of mods and quite rightly so as the effort they put into supporting modders was immense. Go logon there any time and you will see 130 people in the Third age totalwar forum. Ive seen that some admin staff at the TWC got an interview with CA about the campaign. Maybe the org staff should be pushing for the multiplayer preview/interview.

Also with regards to tournaments, most tournaments are run through clan sites now, so get the active clans on board then in future perhaps host the tournaments here. Get links up to their sites and tournaments then in future once bridges are built we can get some org hosted tournaments maybe with tools people are talking about here (sounds just like a spreadsheet btw).

Many of us stopped once Rome came out, so actual its obvious, that many of us didnt like the games after MTW. Nothing bad about, if someone like something you dont like, than you have differences, thats logical.
You can be nice to each other and still have a different opinion about a certain matter.

Elitist behavior i hardly see here on this forum.

I dont see a single problem to push the Org, thats easy done and could have been done years ago.
I remember our Clancampaign, with this selfmade rules, countries and so on, this could also be a nice way to make it attractive. With a moderator and turns to play it on.

I suggest .Org gets in contact with CA for an interview-alike thing.... or we present them our summarized wishlist and they answer if the addition will made, or is already part of the release or not...

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Should set a up poll for our wishlist Maygar so we can summarize it better.

With regards to an interview, I am figuring, i.e. making an assumption, that we may only get one shot at an interview. Because of that assumption, I personally would rather get an interview later down the road once game details are better defined. As for the wishlist, the sooner the better. I would love it if CA would give us a rep like GilJaysmith who was very active here during the development of...RTW? I'll see what we can do about that.

I'd completely agree with someone from the Org staff taking up the combined wish list and presenting it to CA in an official manner. Give it some pomp with lots of newsposts and flashy bling :-)

I like this idea. We'll contact CA and see what's possible.

Does something along the lines of "10 questions from the MP community" as a basis for the interview sounds good?

[Swoosh So]

yes andres that would be great but you would probably have to let ca select the questions from the list or we end up with 10 things theyre not willing to discuss yet as still in development.
Our questions will be quite in depth and CA will know this so best let them choose form a larger list the ones they comfortable with, i remember seeing an interview for rome totalwar where the guy asked ca will multiplayer be in rome totalwar? EPIC fail. The essential question tho is will there be a fully functional chat foyer where all players online are listed and the community is auto logged into to chat?

[Magyar Khan]

i suggest that they could pick 5 points of our list every month and tell something about it....

[Magyar Khan]

please org get CA towards our wishlist thread....

[Swoosh So]

Magy ive no doubt CA have seen it whether they agree or not with the ideas presented or even if theyre willing to discuss them is another matter.

[Gregoshi]

CA told us they would be taking a look at this forum. How much they are willing to participate any discussions is not known as of yet.

Remember, you may want to talk with CA, but CA may not want to talk with you (right now anyhow).

[Kagemusha]

CA has had a large presence in the Org of lately. We have atleast three of them including the lead designer looking at our humble dwellings and giving answers to our questions here and then. I wouldnt be amazed to see them also commenting these issues when they are ready. This is a big positive difference compared to the development of some earlier titles.
