The Banner Saga Post-funding Updates, Forums Launched

The launching of Stoic’s official The Banner Saga forums has been announced in the game’s 13th update (post-funding) to the game’s Kickstarter page, though a subsequent 14th update reveals that they weren’t quite ready for the influx of traffic such an endeavor would cause. Anyway, if you want to get in touch with the devs directly, you should be able to once they iron out the issues:

Here’s a quick overview: We’ve got a news and off-topic section where we’ll be keeping you up-to-date with any good interviews or previews that come up. There’s the special Backer-only subforum just for you, and the general discussion Longhouse, where we’ve already started a discussion about guild crests. The beginner’s circle is where we’ll be answering all the basic stuff- what’s the game about, who are we, etc.

We’ll be answering the boards as much as possible, but we’ve also gotten some help from a few guys who will be doing some moderating for us- Sean (from The Old Republic), Scott and Stelly, so if you see them answering questions it’s because we asked them to 🙂

Bear with us as we’ll inevitably hit a few snags. We’ve never launched a forum for 20,000 people before so we’ll do our best to keep things chugging along and iron our problems as they arise.

And as always, thanks from all of us at Stoic! We realize there’s probably a lot of speculation about the details for now but we’ll be adding more content about the game as quick as we can. We’re pretty approachable nice guys, so help us keep the same tone for the forums. Talk to you soon!
