After a lot of internal discussion among the Admin team it has been decided that for better or worse the Group walls will be disabled. This will go into effect Tuesday night for the weekly reset. We did not make this decision lightly. When it was first brought to me about opening the walls I agreed to give it a shot as they had been problematic in the past. The walls have now killed the forums and made it near impossible for new members to find groups for runs. The walls were intended for quick LFG posts and group ups but have instead become a chat system and post are becoming buried under members conversations.
The Admin team hopes that by disabling the Walls we can breathe new life back into the forums and help members get the help and information they need.

I would like to echo Kevlarproof and jimbacuan. If it wasn't for the walls I probably wouldn't have been able to hook up with you guys. I understand it is the admins' right to make this choice, but I would be interested to see a poll of the clanmates. One additional point I would like to make; if the wall is intended for quick pick up groups, wouldn't a post from an hour ago be irrelevant anyways? How about 30 minutes, or even 10? Personally I would not have the patience to wait more than 10 minutes, especially considering that often I only have 60 min to play in an evening. I need to get on, get in, and get out. Sorry. Guess it was my turn to rant. I want to be clear that I REALLY appreciate the DoD community. This is the [u]first[/u] console game I have ever played online with people I don't know in the real world. If it wasn't for this group of mature and understanding players, I never would have attempted any raids and been limited to only playing with my brother maybe once a week. Currently I am able to find someone to play with every night. Whether I am helping or being helped, tearing up Aetheon or kneeling to Crota (gotta work on that one) we all have a great time. Please consider this; the best way to keep the community strong is by supporting the easiest methods of access.
