I never saw anyone treat a new player badly for being new, but I did see a lot of "this sucks play X / this faction sucks / etc etc", which honestly is pretty negative. Those things can be expressed in a less caustic manner, but my recollection is that I rarely saw that (it's not as though it wasn't there before MK3 though, just not as much I think).

Yea, the PP forums are all but a graveyard, populated only by those weird goth people who think hanging out in graveyards is 'hip' or something...
It's not as if we all didn't know this was going to happen. Negativity bedamned (Haha), but really... the class forums were were people discussed the game. They simply didn't want to deal with it, and thus shot their own leg off to deal with the ingrown toenail. Dramatic, unnecessary and illogical, and the hobby as a whole is going to suffer heavily. Note they are making the cards free... wonderful, and I praise that, but it's a small bandage on a gaping wound and I highly doubt PP will recover to Mk2 levels, ever... let alone anytime soon without massive changes (and a forum reversion).

I occasionally popped back into the PP forum to see what was up. My last trip resulted in a prompt that said my password expired and needed to be changed before I could view anything. I opted to simply log out instead, because I'm not wasting my time changing my password for a game forum that has no important information attached to it every 2 months. I then learned that you can't view anything on the forum as a guest unless you agree to terms and conditions each visit. Needless to say I closed the tab because whatever it was I was going to find on the barren wasteland of a forum wasn't worth the repeated inconveniences.

I too - couldn't be bothered on prompting for password change. Not very much useful content. I guess the rules forums? Not that bothered.

I have been waiting for rules answers for months so not changing my password is no great loss.

Yeah, it's really too bad. I love playing my Cryx and so much of it is beautifully painted, but like, with the forum there being kinda dead and the forum here being dead, it's more difficult to maintain interest than I expected. Probably going to pick my Khador back up

The forum here at lormahordes seems a bit more active (for my interests) than the PP "graveyard", although again, too many folks are scattered across too many platforms to generate a highly responsive scene or strong sense of community. :/

I still go over there because I have IKRPG characters but...that's it.

Interestingly, I just saw an E3 interview in which the producer of SW Battlefront 2 made a *point that they wanted to prevent any fragmentation of their community, and to keep it cohesive.
Hoo boy. Clearly a different set of values.
