Important: Please Read! Changes Are Coming!

[Dire Bare]

Oh, my God. Really, people?

Of all the things in this world, or on the internet, or on this messageboard, that you could possibly worry about, you're going to get offended if Morrus names the subscription tiers after the tiers of 4E?

Really?

I'm sorry, but using those names does not in any way imply that ENWorld if a 4E site. It implies exactly one thing: That the owner thought it was cute to use the names of the current edition of the game.

You don't like 4E? Fine. You don't like D&D at all? Fine; there's still a place for you on this site.

But you're going to be offended by it? Honestly and truly offended?

I've spent years building a rep for being polite and diplomatic, here and on the other forums I frequent, and I intend, for the most part, to stick with that. But I have to say that, honestly, even for the home of hyperbole that is the Internet, that's some of the most ridiculous, nonsensical, self-entitled claptrap I've ever heard, and I can only hope that those of you making such a claim are playing an April Fool's joke on us.

My thoughts exactly. It's beyond silly.

Bah! Name the tiers after the only RPG any loyal citizen should be playing:
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet
Ultraviolet

Only a commie mutant traitor would disagree.

It was more tongue in cheek for me, but may be something to think about for others. My sig dosen't mean that much to me at all.

As you like. I'm someone who is very easily annoyed by sigs, yet I leave them turned on, because otherwise I'd miss too many useful links.

Ultraviolet

Awesome. My revised list of suggested tier names:
- Regular ("Supporter", $3)
- Electrum ($more)
- Ultraviolet ($most)

Cheers, -- N

I would like to point out that only one person actually used the term offended, and no one in any way implied that Morrus feels it's a 4e board.

My position is only that it might add to an implication, at first glance, that 4e is the focus of these forums... which it's not. There is a place here for 4e, and all the editions, and any other RPGs.

And I do agree that it's cute to name it after the current edition, if slightly annoying to me for no good reason. I also agree that it should be named something with gaming flavor, and I would choose heroic/paragon/epic over registered/subscriber/premium any day.

Being relatively new here, I have only read a few of your posts... but I can say that even when you're ticked off, you come across as polite and diplomatic (just ticked off)

I'd be cool with that - but doesn't that risk the ire of those members who don't like BECMI?

Exactly - just like the XP 'level titles' we have are all named after 4E monsters. It's just not an issue.

Obviously, after all of the hubbub in the past about EN World having no edition bias it would be best with the new boards to remove that from the themes, both XP and tier supporter. There are plenty of other ways to do it without having a bias one way or another. Certainly, if this were the official WotC boards, you'd want to theme all the little touches toward the one game and the latest edition of it, but since this is neutral territory and it's just as easy to keep everyone happy by sticking with non-edition terminology. No big deal.

OK, how about Basic and Expert... just guess which version now!
