I'd like to know why you are covering only 2 games?

[Griselda]

Well, actually, we haven't yet found a third game that seems like a perfect fit. We'd much rather provide a home for in-depth articles and discussion about one or two games than provide more superficial coverage for several games.

We are accepting suggestions on what our next covered game should be, but we're making no promises at this point. In the mean time, if you really want to discuss another game with the Lurkers, you're welcome to start a discussion in the Lounge forum.

Well,I'm not sure if this game shall fit in the atmosphere of this site,but why not Heroes Of Might and Magic series?I'm pretty sure there are many aspects of this game to be "lurked" upon

Hi,

You can have quality or you can have quantity. Very seldom can you have both.

Now, I've seen two posts by you. And I have a suggestion. Shut up for at least a week or two and read. When you know what is going on here, then start posting. That is what lurking is all about and it is one of the basics of politeness on the Internet. We realize that most of the net has long gone to hell, but we do try to maintain some semblance of netiquette here.

...don't get mad at Pete either. =P He means it in the best possible way, I can assure you, even though his tact in this thread seems to leave a bit to be desired. =P

Lurk for a while, get to know the issues, before you post. Not only is it good manners, you'll avoid making a fool of yourself like some.

The first one got lonely.

After you have digested Bolty's explanation as to what this site is all about, and why he made it, and why he and the gang keep it going . . . you will find your question has already been answered.

THIS is why I love being a webmaster so much...

Because Diablo 3 isn't out yet?

I don't think there will be a Diablo 3. IMO, they would rather make a mmorpg for diablo in the future because of the montly profit they are sure to charge. So, the question is, would the LL cover an mmorpg if it was in the Diablo world? I don't see why not :P

what about Starcraft or Warcraft.........one of those would work for this espially Starcraft.....cause there r actual lurkers in the game...so it would kinda work....but war craft i dont know it might and it might not.....

Hi,

The sequence is:

A fair number of people at the lounge start posting about a game.
This goes on long enough that it isn't just a fad (three years?).
Someone that Bolty trusts is willing to admin a forum on that game.
Bolty decides to host another forum and more material.

The sequence is *not*:

Bolty picks a game at random, starts a forum, writes a bunch of material, and supports that game.

And anyone who took the trouble to lurk a bit would know this.

I wonder how many people look at the main site. But anyhow, all in good time.

Seriously, either read and soak in the suggestions that ShadowHM provided for you on The Lounge, in your inaugural post, or simply go away. Quality counts.

To date, your posts make spam seem useful, in comparison.

But what would be the point of making sites dedicated to those two games just because it could "kinda work"?

Dear diablo2.net,

i would like to inquire as to why you only cover one game? there are many games out there, and by only covering one, you are not reaching everyone.

i hope you do something to fix this horrible mistake.

But the d2.net folks host numerous forums.

They have a

WoW site.
WC III site.

I think a few others.

They are all a subset of RPGforums.net.

So really, they do cover a multiplicity of games, a fact which may have an impact on the quality of the sites.

[Roland]

...they all have their own sites. Run, IIRC, by seperate people, no? True, they are all linked together, being partner sites and all (a regular family), but they're still seperate from one another. That's how they differ from the Lounge: each game has its own site, run by its own team, instead of a conglomeration.

And, the point he was trying to make was not about what games DII.Net covers, but rather what they focus on. They don't go covering Starcraft, or Battlefield 1942, or Master of Orion III, or Morrowind. They cover Diablo II. Just like the Lounge covers Diablo and Diablo II; nothing more.

Which, of course, we all know. And, of course, we all know why. Or at least most of us do. ;)

Edit:
Ok, so they're all run by the same people. My mistake, I had not realized. Guess that kinda invalidates my point, no? Eh, I never really cared for any of them anyway. How was I supposed to know they're all run by the same people when I barely visit them but once a month, if that? :P

I guess that once you 'get into it' its hard not to just keep growing . . . if it's your passion. :)

Say, have you ever heard of this place called the Lurker Lounge? Started out as a little Diablo site. Wonder what it's up to these days? ;)
