OK, I got megamek loaded. But it won't let me connect. But from I can see, it has come a long since I last played almost 8 years ago.

you need a server to connect to, but you can try hosting a game and fight the Ai.

Open Topic/Admissions: This is the "catch-all" guild forum as well as were requests to join are made. Both Members and Non-Members are free to discuss non-restricted topics here.

Member's MWT: Anything that is related to Mechwarrior Tactics' game play, rules, or guild specific tactics/plans that are not meant for public discussion can be posted here. To request access, post an access request in the Open Topic/Admissions sub-forum and the guild leadership will evaluate your request and approve or deny accordingly.

Member's MWO: Anything that is related to Mechwarrior Online's game play, rules, or guild specific tactics/plans that are not meant for public discussion can be posted here. To request access, post an access request in the Open Topic/Admissions sub-forum and the guild leadership will evaluate your request and approve or deny accordingly.

Officer's Club: The place were leadership can discuss guild policy. Officer access only. (Hidden)

Is it possible to have the two member's subforums visible but not readable (ie. the forum shows in the list but someone without access cannot view the posts within them)?

And i believe i'll need two levels of access: member and officer.

thanks boss.

Once Mordel get's the PM's up and running. wouldn't they serve as the two member's subforum idea?

I'll work on setting these up. I believe you can make forums visible but need permissions to read. Been a while since I played with it, so will have to check. Either way, I'll work on setting them up and let you know when they're ready.

Category and Forums should now be created.

There are now two groups which grant access to the private forums, both hidden so require manual addition of usernames. Vagabond, You are the moderator for both groups. They are:

* Mordel's Marauders - This group grants access to the Member's MWT and Member's MWO forums.
* Mordel's Marauders Officer's - This group grants access to the Officer's Club forum (which is hidden by default)

Naturally I added myself as a member to both, not that I needed to, but it looks more official. Smile You can manage these groups by the menu option 'Bar & Grill --> User Groups'.

Give it a try and let me know if everything looks ok.

What do people think, should we isolate the user's groups so that MWO and MWT are separate or just have a single clan access?

Separate access would mean that if and/or once these programs begin to offer some type of of world metagame (fight for your faction) then those who say wanted to be in MM for MWT but another guild for MWO would not get to see any posts by the guild regarding MWO. The down side is that if the guild expanded into more games than a new forum and access group would need to be formed for each.

Single access would mean ease of sign-up and access. The downside is the loss of potential information control.

Thoughts?

Setting up different groups for each is cleaner, and isn't really that much of a headache.

Does MWO cost anything to play?

Is is a free to play type game where you can spend real money to get extra stuff. But there's nothing that forces you to pay. You can play as much as you want for free.
