Why are some folks obsessed with getting official Mythic forums? The official WoW forums are terrible places! Why would Mythic want to waste their time - paying people - to babysit forums like that? Put my subscription money into the game. Forums will exist. Visit the community there.

Folks,
No, no, no, a million times, no.
And, our excuse was not that we didn't have the resouces (that was true pre-DAoC) but rather, our reason is that official forums quickly become ugly, hate-filled places (the most successful US-based MMO of all time, WoW has worse problems than some really bad games' forums) with a huge signal->noise raitio after the games release. I've seen what happens with every MMO released and I am going to spare Mythic the headache that is associated with those type of forums.
However, as always we're looking at ways to improve communications/relations with the community so if we (or somebody else) comes up with better ways of doing things, we are open to it.
