Forum Rules - YOU NEED TO READ THIS! [04.02.2008]
Welcome to the official web site for Phoenix. These forums have the same basic rules found on most forums, but here's a refresher course:
1. Advertising of any kind is prohibited! (unless within context of the game within the appropriate forum)
2. Always use the "search" feature before asking a question. You just might find your answer.
3. Keep all posts on-topic. Posts that travel too far off-topic will be locked, moved, or simply deleted.
4. Respect other forum users, moderators, and site admins. Profanity will not be tolerated in these forums.
Your First Character's name
Anyone have their name picked out for a first character? What are you fancy devs using on the test center? :)
Don't have one picked out just yet, just a fun thread.

New Forums
Welcome to the new forums, everyone!
"Why the move?"
We've had several sub-websites off the phoenixmmo.com domain; bugs.phoenixmmo.com (Flyspray), forum.phoenixmmo.com (vBulletin), beta.phoenixmmo.com (Typo3), wiki.phoenixmmo.com (MediaWiki), etc.

What is your favorite content distribution / gaming community network?

Old West Movies?
What are some of the movies you've watched that feature the Old West?
I tend to enjoy movies that feature not only the frontiersman, but also the other cultures. I want to learn about the natives and their reaction to people invading their space. I want to know how it felt to be an Oriental woman who doesn't speak a word of English, but has to get along in this wild world. I wonder about the women who were rancher's wives and daughters, and how they expected to survive. I grew up on House on the Prairie shows, and Clint Eastwood movies. What's your inspiration?
