OK.

When we're logged in, our status, achievements and whatnot are updated in our profile.
[umm, ok, "who has teh biggest ****" game]

What else?

To tell it differently:

What are the differences between online beings and a guy, who buys a game and goes to Tundra w/out internet for two years to play the game?

The latter gets a flu the former gets virus.

Ba-dum ching!

Edit: Oh right, the topic
The social site provides people with an easy way to get in touch with others in the community and is an enormous help to those planning on making their own projects/modules.

You don't 'get' anything for playing online for your achievements to show, as far as I know. It'll just update it for people to see, if you don't want that or don't care, don't log on.

I tend to see forums as separate instance. so, besides forums, there's no real bonuses per se, i guess!?

We get The Lucky Stone in game item, for one.

That's just for uploading a character though.

To the social site.

This.

Like others have said, this site is geared towards providing Bioware gamers a social network in which to interact with their fellow gamers with, well, anything really.  This place is going to be so much more than just a forum.

[RV0LVr]

well I can see this place spruced up,more organized,and more easy to navigate if they're going to migrate the forums here.Remember the Social Network isn't going to be DAO exclusive so this change can be good for the BW community knowing how heavily involved they can be.

[AClockworkMelon]

That's like asking 'what do you get out of posting a blog or visiting myspace' or something along those lines. The site is meant to be a place that we can all show off our characters, our progress, our phat lewt and talk about the game.

[RiianTheBrute]

*strokes chin thoughtfully*

mmhmmmmm

[aerows]

We get things like the ugliest character contest.  That was worth the pain of registering all by itself

[Gaffin Blackblade]

We get a forum within which to share thoughts, ideas, and humor around a common topic. A vertual community of like minded people, where we can geek-out, or rant about something that has value to us. I am 32 years old and have been playing video games since I can remember and the one thing that I haven't had in the last decade is a community of people to truely discuss my enjoyment of gaming. Yes, the occasional friend who like games but no community. DA:O is the first game which I have been interested enough in to participate in a forum as this and I am happy it exists.

Get to see guys make cute girl characters, yeah!

For now? It's for idle speculation and shooting the ****. After release it's going to be mod central.

[TexJSW]

Yeah it's still in the early going, but I see this place as being a very functional means of collaboration between everyone and having a more "personal" experience on the site and forums.

For example, on the forums it shows what games you have registered. Cool, nice to see what games people own, but this place possibly allows to expand on that even further by showing what you've done in your game, or whatever little tidbits there are. Not just Dragon Age, but future games as well? That's how I see it at least. And the whole mod central thing... there's even a page to fill out your modding resume!

[Mordaedil]

From what I gather, this is also where the next "NWVault" will take place, where we upload custom content for people who own the PC version to download (possibly expanding to X-box 360 and PS3 users later, if at all possible) as well as a resource center for people who need people to help build their projects and modules into something bigger, providing voice-acting, model creation, etc. directly from the community.



In other words, this will be the most important site ever for the DA:O community. And possibly for every Bioware community in the future.

[Sigil_Beguiler123]

I imagine our Social Network Profile is where information related to DLCs will be stored. As such if one needs to redownload something for their game it will be possible through your account.

Well, if a guy takes two years to play the game, it's kind of pathetic.

[Srikandi715]

For the devs, I think a big part of it is piracy prevention... since presumably you'll have to have a registered copy of the game after release to access the board's social functions. That is totally what EA has done with the Sims and Spore sites, for instance.



If the serious game mod community actually uses this site to upload their mods, as opposed to congregating at a fansite (as tends to happen with mod communities), that will be another important function for anybody who wants to create mods or just download em. I guess that depends on how much support there is here, and how many restrictions (on stuff like adult content in mods).

[Freesight]

dont know if someone mentionned this, but the ability to start projects and direct them online will be a HUGE plus for the mod community and anyone willing to try their hand at it but unsure of where to begin with. Basically, it is the same structure as many game developpers are now using to work with multiple teams on a same projects.



It is a great way for them to test the ability of putting together teams with member all over the globe and judge how these teams can work together.

For the Mod community, it would be awesome if they can implement Google Wave technology into this site.
