BioWare - New Forums Launched
According to a post on the Bioware Blog I missed earlier they have launched a new forum site. The site will be used for all past, and future games. Here are the details.
Announcing “the BioWare Forum”
One of my favorite moments at a convention is one that you guys never see– it’s the moment right before we open the doors. After months of planning — and shortly after inhaling coffee that’s just a bit too hot –we’re ready to let you in and see what we’ve been up to.
Today, we’re sharing another one of those moments with you. We’re launching the BioWare Forum, which I believe will be an exciting addition to our online space.
Before we get into details, this is not the discussed community destination site currently still in development. That site—which builds on fan and employee surveys, interviews, and other feedback—is still to come, and we can’t wait to share details as we continue working towards this. However, this reveal is part of the roadmap to get us there, and brings us one step closer to the promise to both ourselves and fans to continue rebuilding a positive, constructive community.
The BioWare Forum replaces the old discussion forums, adding new features designed to foster an entertaining, educational, and safe space for developers and players to engage one another. Among the improvements is updated technology that allows for much more robust moderation, along with a new set of guidelines with more clearly enforceable rules. A new design lightens the look and feel of the site while keeping the tone of the modern BioWare brand. Other notable features and changes include:
- Mobile skinning and functionality for the first time ever
- Converting posts from the (now “legacy”) BioWare Social Network over to conserve pre-existing threads
- Rebranding social.bioware.com as a new landing page to guide players to our key online spaces including Dragon Age Keep, the BioWare Forum, N7HQ, and EA Answer HQ
- Curating Legacy BSN as a Read-Only web portal available as a link at the bottom right-hand corner of the new social.bioware.com
