Thank you all for the welcome! There have been some good and interesting ideas here already. I’ve made a note of them to start looking into.

Perhaps you could also confirm or deny the rumor that the lack of icon and position means it's not an "official" forum, thus it doesn't get read by community managers or devs? First off, that is 100% an official forum, so let me lay that concern to rest. As to why it never had an icon, I can’t say, but this is something that I could work on. Other things like articles obviously will take a priority, but when I have time throughout the week, I’ll start looking into this. I already have some art/community/marketing directories bookmarked that may help me find a suitable asset.

There are community content makers and the influencers that you could work with that plan community related events that aren’t content actually made by you guys.



For instance :



A couple of our pvp community members are currently running and streaming “how to pvp” classes and later publishing them on YouTube.

Having these sorts of notifications and content links on the community news section would be great.



You also have influencers who do interviews with the BioWare crew. Most of the time we find out about these third hand and mostly when they are over.

Knowing when they are and having a link to them after (incase you miss it) would be awesome and would be community news.



Some guilds and other community members hold in-game events. ie OWPVP, Role Play, Strong Hold reviews or Achievements.

If they could work with you far enough in advance, you could add that to the community news.



Anyway, they’re just somethings that come to mind that differentiates the community news section from the news section because it’s about the community instead of just news on what the dev team or game is doing.



Cheers

Trix You’ve struck the proverbial nail on the head. Some of the ideas here are ones that I’ve had myself and have started to build up. Folding the Influencers and their content into that feed is something I’ve started looking into. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some real progress on that front soon. The other stuff is something for me to think on as there are some limitations that could be involved with that.
