I don't think the new forum is laid out very well at the moment.

For one thing, it shouldn't just be called "WAR" even without periods. Maybe something more appropriate: "Warhammer Online." I also think that until the forums generate more traffic, we should keep out of the subforum-per-army area and just have two subforums, one dedicated to Order (called "Forces of Order") and the other dedicated to Destruction ("Forces of Destruction"). Then we have th emain W.A.R. forum which those two subforums are located in for any and all general talk about the game.

So it'll look like this:

> Warhammer Online
>> Forces of Order
>> Forces of Destruction

And eventually, we can build it up.

I think a separate forum for it altogether isn't a horrible idea. It would be a small section, but would make it one, more pleasing to the eye, two, easier to access, and three, leaves plenty of room for development.

Here's an example of what it could look like when built up:

> Warhammer Online
>> Forces of Order
>>> Dwarfs
>>> Empire
>>> High Elves
>> Forces of Destruction
>>> Chaos
>>> Dark Elves
>>> Greenskins
>> Guilds
>> Walkthroughs

etc. etc.

Perhaps there might be some way to gauge interest in Warhammer Online amongst our user base? Maybe through a poll, e-mail, announcement or some such? I know I'm already planning to purchase WAR when it's released. I'm thinking you could get a feel for the scale of this thing ahead of time based on current LO members, which would help you plan accordingly.

Just a thought =).

I agree with LN. Warhammer Online would be better.

I also agree than Forces of Good and Destruction as two forums would be good.

We should also be open to revisiting the needs for subforums as gamers play WAR. We might end up with a tactics section if we're seeing lots of tactic posts, for example.

I like LN's ideas and then allowing ourselves the flexibility to revisit the sub-forums as the game grows.
