This is fairly ridiculous. Its seems as if the lockdown regulars are in a competition to see who can make the MOST OFFICIAL official lockdown threads and the GRANDEST grand tournaments of champion.
We see the same lockdown tournament, conversations, etc... pop up over and over and over in the general discussion forums. Its not really a general discussion, after a certain point, its a very specific discussion.
Also, Lockdown is about half (or more) of the game at this point, as most of your long time player base that has remained active are your lockdown players. Other long time players who don't do lockdown (such as me and so many others) come back from time to time, and more often than not to vetch about the fact that there is nearly no new content or no good amount of new content to play and enjoy.
So the long and short of it is this: It would be a boon to all involved to create a separate LOCKDOWN FORUMS . It would benefit the general discussion thread, and those non LD players who frequent it. It would benefit the LD players as they'd have a place to congregate and keep thoughts, threads, and arguments centralized. It would benefit OOO two fold: 1) making the forums more productive is a good thing. 2) pandering to your LD player base will allow you better player retention of those knights while also allowing newer players to ease into the community through the general discussion forums.
Good idea, which probably means it won't happen.
