The optimum forum & extensions for a "real games" site?

[Arven]

Hello everybody!

I am publishing the acclaimed CCG Warlord: Saga of the Storm, under license from Alderac Entertainment Group (who in turn publish Legends of the Five Rings and now a host of board games).

Now after two years of transitioning from running an internet studio + WoW TCG single cards dealership to a game publisher it's time to unify things - despite only running a very small business from home.

Currently my forum is found at www.cardmasters.de and only features an awards plug-in as well as the GAL from vbGeek (which I kind of broke by doing an update to the forum, I believe - I can't use that anymore ).

Now in your experience, what would you suggest the forum should offer, in order to make it a great experience for the Warlord CCG players world-wide?

I am really keen to hear what worked for you, and how you did it!

Best,

Arne Reuter
