Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General Things I've noticed about this forum...

welcome to my home <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />

I'll have to admit that this IS one of the more Mature sites that I've had the privalege to visit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Its why Im still here. The whole time Ive been here Ive never been flamed or abused once <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

When I was first playing the game too people were always very quick to help me with any problem I had. I especially remember Raze, Kiya and Anthea were quick to respond to any "Help Im stuck" post (If I missed anyone else who helped I apologise <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />).

You right Mandrake, but you forgot many others like Jurak and JolieKiller and <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />

Welcome Kapitan. Suit yourself here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

You know Jurak; you are one of those reasons that made me respect Orcs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
The funny thing is if you claim “here” to be your home, while I would have objected that it was rather mine, on a second thought I noticed that you did not forget to say the word “our”. Yes indeed it is our home, because of the sisterhood/ brotherhood emotions we have for other members of the forum.

When Larian Studios finish Divinity II there shall be an online version with multiplayer.
I would go to war with you as a partner anytime with my back forged to yours and I am sure that my back is perfectly defended. A ranger Elf/mage and an Orcish Chieftain is a deadly combination. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

True, but at that time, i wasnt at the forum yet. Mandrake was already an 'old aquitance at the forum' before i arrived.

Well, I've been to many forums as well (including visiting but never posting at the Diablo forums). This forum is indeed a lot nicer than those, it's also why I'm still posting here once in a while really.

Now, I don't want to insult anybody, so don't take this personal, there's always exceptions after all, but most people here, are European (actually, read: Non-Americans). I'm sure there's sites where the majority is American that are also mature. Yet somehow, many gaming forums, where the majority is American, there's a large group of them either being loud and obnoxious, or loud and ignorant. Luckily not all Americans are like that of course, I've got a few with whom I talk on MSN a lot for example. But I think that overall, forums with more non-americans tend to be more civilized/mature than forums where (mostly teenage) Americans visit.

Of course, I could be wrong, but it's just the impression I got. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Well, i am gald Canadains wern't included in that generilization. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

I for one am not big on visiting forums. I mainly come around if I have a question about a game or something. But, I do agree that this forums is one of the most pleasant ones I know. The other forum I regularly visit is an anime forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Sadly, I have to somewhat agree with MDE about many gaming sites. I've seen the gaming sites he has visited and I just couldn't hang around them because they are either depressing one another or they are being hostile. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Well, I haven't been here very long, so I don't know how many trouble makers came by here, or people who got banned for one reason or the other...

But I do remember Johnson <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Teenager and American iirc. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

And well, I did generalize, but I also said not all Americans are like that. I know a 13y old American who's more mature than some 18-20y old Americans I met. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Johnson is not American, he is from Singapore. I even have his picture.

He is American though (well lives there...Florida)

A true american, if ever i've seen one! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Thank you for the praise. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />


Yes, I actually feel kind of proud being here in this community for so long - from the very Beginning ( like a lot others).

I am glad this Forum has constantly preserved this "special feeling" as I call it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

The worst things I have in my memory are two things :

- Hell seemed to breake loose when <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> was first released in Germany. It was still full of nasty bugs, and tons of users complaining rolled into the Forum. It was horrible.

In a way, I have learned very much from that regarding customer support. I believe I'm ready now to begin in this field, with this experience. Others might, too, we have excellent examples here (Kiya, Barnabus, Raze, only to mention a few).


The secont thing was a person called speedstr. I will NOT comment further on him. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

Why is Dragon forgotten? He was a great helper, made all the large maps, created various large spoiler threads and even reorganised the alphabetic map section.

And I couldn't have helped, if I hadn't been taught by Kejero to UBB, by Dragon how to IMG - and Raze by telling me how to convert pics, providing me with the appropriate proggies for this, helping me with my ftp probs in my HP. Last not least: The older German forum was a great source of help for me to pass it on to English gamers at the beginning - specially Hellfighter's and Barnie's pics.

There were so many gamers I had to ask to teach me the very simplest things - and all were very patient with me. Some have left the forum, but I still remember them fondly - Jove? (Tracking my posts faithfully when I mixed up East/West) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> Velthuijsen (the alchemist <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ), Sir_Toejam, the great curser <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />, Mr_Tiger123, the jester (found out the nifty barrel-theft-trick) - and all those who chose to share their XP, tricks, hints and fixes (Kordoba, Harglowe, Sir Laurence) etc.

Kiya

I just chose intuitively some people I had in mind. No long thinking. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I know there are many more, but someone else should make a list, if desired, not me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

It's true there is almost too many helpers here to list...

they come and they go ...but your right Alrik and Kiya.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

i find "warm fuzzies" all over this forum, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kitty.gif" alt="" />

and the help section covers just about every aspect of the game,

most of it with maps or extensive details...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

WheN!! i buy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> and the next <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> ... I know <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/idea.gif" alt="" />

where i can get good quality, fast service, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

for whatever problem i may encounter!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

like Lockmar always says.......

thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
