So, yesterday I was doing my thing on the forums, and spotted this post.

TLDR, some mercs from DUST were trying to get in contact with EVE players who might be interested in their services. However, they apparently had to create an account on EVE (trial, from the looks of it), and then post on the newbie section in the hopes that someone would notice the post.

Is it just me, or does this seem pretty stupid? Specifically, the fact that this is supposed to be the EVE Universe, containing both DUST and EVE, with integrated chat channels in-game... yet we can't directly post on each others forums?

The solution I'm advocating is simple. Create a section on the DUST forums where we can post, and vice versa. A liason section, if you will. Enhanced communication between the two games means more cooperation, which means the links that bind us get used more often. Especially going forward, when the cooperation (or lack of it) between the two games might build or destroy empires.

This is low-hanging fruit that should be relatively simple to do, I would think, and could have a decent payoff.

They're already in our communication channels in-game, this seems like a pretty obvious change to make.

This seems like a low-cost no-brainer idea to increase involvement between the 2 games.

I've passed this suggestion on to the CPM.

Also supporting this, greater co-operation between DUST & EVE players at some basic level is a must I think as DUST players get more organised - as they have proven they can do anyway - and look to impact EVE.

As long as it's a section and not a full forum merge +1.

Confirmed.

Just as a starship pilot probably doesn't have much interest in giving feedback on "Domination Mode" in DUST, I doubt the groundpounders would have much interest in "Missions & Complexes" in EVE. Unless they played both games, of course, but then the issue's moot.

I have a quick quip to say about the idea is that there should be certain restrictions to which forms a duster can and cannot post on, segregation is needed in just about almost all areas as the two game's subjects are entirely different and I am quite sure you guys will be rather tired of people posting about nerf Lasers buff HAVs and nerf Duvolle all day long.

Also we have free accounts so alt bad posting is quite possible to get entirely out of hand. I mean features and ideas a section as a CPM have to comb though quite often would easily get drowned out when something eve side gets screwy or something starts complaining why there is no day cycles in dust and someone mistakes it for eve and bad replies there is no such thing as day cycles in space.

I would like to see the forums merged I would not like to see the issues that may arise from it.

Agreed. There are some sections of each games forum where a player from the other game will have nothing useful to say. So keep those sections separate.
