This is great, but I think a similar thing should be done for the Beastmoon events. This is a relatively new feature that is already popular, BUT there are many many bugs. It would be in everyone's best interests to have a forum to work these issues out while it is still in the new stages.

A Beastmoon forum section? We have the Events section which is pretty Beastmoon dominated, you can post there: https://www.wizard101.com/forum/even...6b56a707147931

Thank you, I am familiar with that forum. In fact, i and others have created similar threads here in W101 Central. The issue is to have a specific interaction with the Developers like what you are doing with PVP. The simple fact is that PVP went without direct interaction for quite some time, and the Developers have been playing catch up since, even to the point of creating different PVP generations.

I really wonder, is it wise to make the same mistake with Beastmoon or instead, get an early start on it? Just my opinion based on my life experience of over 60 years managing various high level businesses, but it has been proven over and over that taking the time to get things correct at the start, save so much money and hours (Even days or months) of extra work.

I just don't want to see the future of Beastmoon be like what has happened to PVP simply because there wasn't a single place to focus all attention on communication between the customers and the developers instead of spreading the communication over a confusing number of forums. Simplification of communication is always a vital tool for clarity of discussions and speed of results.

That place has long been determined. It's called twitter. Take it or leave it.

Sadly, you are correct. Just like with PVP, people are already looking for help OUTSIDE of KI. @Sparck, I am sure you are getting tired of me, but look at what is already happening. History is already starting to repeat itself, is this really what you folks want?

Totally understandable. I would keep focused on discussions on the Events section of the forums then, that's what it's there for. We post regular updates and they are 'sticky' which means they won't disappear like quick posts on Twitter.

For our own announcements on these events, we try to share them everywhere, including that forum. As long as you're in there discussing ideas and concerns, it'll remain a safe and productive place for us all to chat!
