[Request] Could we please get a subscription service for premium discussion boards?

[Theodric]

It's an idea that sprang to mind based on practices embraced elsewhere. I think it'd be pretty cool if there were optional discussion boards that could be accessed only by those of us with 'premium' access.

It'd be a good way to create a micro-community amongst the forum regulars (many of whom, I expect, would pay the appropriate fee).

The deal could even be sweetened further by offering premium posters access to exclusive animated avatars of their character using a choice emote or some such. I'm not sure how easy that would be to implement but our avatars are already linked to our lodestone profiles.

Of course, I'd expect the fee to be reasonable - and ideally, to go towards site maintenance/upgrades and the game development itself.

What premium features would you guys like to see if such a feature were added?

Can you elaborate on this?

Sure.

Although I no longer play WoW, I did used to post on a major fan-site devoted to it. I recently dusted off my account there and found that it was now offering a premium service to get a fancy nameplate under one's avatar amongst a few other minor benefits. I think this site would do well with some sort of update and more quality of life features but since funding does not come for free, maybe players could pay our way as an incentive.

An active moderation team!

You know if the premium fee for the boards went solely towards keeping a moderation staff on stand by I'd be all for it.

You have an ocean's worth of optimism if you think they'll use the money for a moderation team.

I've been paying my subscription, and I haven't been playing for 3 months. I'm already paying just for forum posting rights myself.

I already pay to access this forum.

Usage of this forum requires an active subscription to the game.

I wouldn't pay anything extra for forum related stuff. Nothing could make the money spent be worth it.
