I feel the communication, especially the brainstorming people do on here as a collaborative effort, could very much improve if there were places I would call Inns or Guild Houses.
Right now blog posts and responses to them are the way people communicate here. If a group of people connected by a certain project on Evoke could create or get a Guild House where they could talk online in real time, the development and implementation of ideas into the real world would become much faster and efficient.
Groups now are searching for these possibilities on Twitter, Facebook and the likes. This will work of course but and the possibilities are already there, but it takes them OUT OF Evoke and I think that is a pity.
Inns and Guild Houses would also add to the sense that EVOKE, in itself, is a WORLD, which would appeal to many more online game players and maybe pull them in.
Time for a few 3D game developers to join the effort?
