NWN Reviewers Guild: Farewell message

Our forums will remain for as long as the NWVault wishes to host them


Which I hope will be for several more years, at least!  I'm just getting started with these games, myself, and I'll be relying on reviews like yours to advise me on which modules to prioritise.

               @Tchos- I hope you have a wonderful time gaming in the plethora of wonderful modules out there on the Vault. I'm pretty sure the Review forums will remain, they are a part of the Vault system and so I see no real reason why Maximus would make work for himself by removing them.

You can of course access all the reviews written from 2002 to date on the Vault itself. For as long as the Vault exists, so to will those reviews. Have fun and thank you!

@shia - *Grins and chuckles* you know how dragons adore being complimented, the old bag will gloat on those words for weeks and no doubt give me no trouble in all that time!

*Hugs* see you on YIM real soon '<img'>

               Dang it... how did I miss this thread?

I am soooo deeply sorry to see the reviewers guild close up shop.

I also wish to say a VERY heartfelt THANK YOU VERY MUCH, for all the hard work you have all given to the community.  It is deeply appreciated, even if seldom mentioned.

I am one of the guilty parties that "accepted" your work without much comment.  For that I apologize deeply.  

I truly understand how much work goes into "community" projects like these, and Quality Assurance type reviews have got to be one of the most delicate, yet most deeply needed jobs out there.

Farewell folks, all of you.  Please don't stop hanging around the forums though... too many peeps are disappearing or have already disappeared as it is.

@QSW  slap, slap, flap, *boing* ouchies, slap, slap, flapflapflap... oh wait... now watsis I posed to dew wid all dease darn rats and bits you had me catches?  I'se tired of rat flambe, rat Fricassée, fried rats... I'se tired of rats... can't ett no mooorr of dem.

Dem der rats looks mighty tassssty Orc Face, just pop dem down by that other maturing pile and go heat up the kitchen. I fancy rat gumbo with onions...you DO have onions?

*QSW opens her maw ever so slightly...an onlooker might be forgiven for not knowing if QSW was grinning or just plain hungry*

               I would also like to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation for all the Reviewer's Guild has contributed to the NWN community over the years, my best wishes to all the reviewers, and my regret that it will no longer be continuing. I have found it to be an invaluable resource, both as a builder (without it, I expect my own modding work would have sunk into ignominious obscurity long since) and as a player (it was an excellent way to find enough information to make a good judgment about whether a given module suited one's playstyle, and was worth the time, particularly given that there is only so much time I can devote to playing if I am going to keep building).

While disappointed, I cannot claim to be too surprised that with a smaller playerbase the number of people willing to commit the time and effort needed to produce quality reviews has become too low to sustain the guild. I will try to take it as a reminder to honor those who were putting in that time and effort over the years, when it was all too easy to take them for granted.
