Expanding the Dungeon Siege Community
| Submitted by iryan on Mon, 2016-03-14 03:19 | ||
I'd like to announce that I've decided to become a member and help promote the Dungeon Siege Community on Steam. At last count there's 455 members and they'd like to get it to over 500. I believe that it can only help this site to have more members in the group, especially if anyone is looking for on-line play. Plus it would help promote SiegetheDay's strengths in modding and information about the game, something lacking in the Dungeon Siege Community though we intend to work on it. Promoting some of the great mods that are found here at SiegetheDay on the Dungeon Siege Official Group can only help everyone as the Official Group is a very active and fast growing one, considering its only just over 1 year old! It proves that there's a growing audience of fans of Dungeon Siege that exists and can be developed and supported to grow even bigger and better. I'm certainly still going to be hanging around SiegetheDay but will also be trying my best to promote the Dungeon Siege Official Group. I hope to see many of you over there, if you're not already a member of course. You'll be very welcomed. blogs: |

I remember I joined a Dungeon Siege community on Steam not long ago, but I don't believe it was this one. This one does seem to be bigger and better though, which is good to see. I've joined up.
What's your Steam name anyway, iryan?
...Assuming that question doesn't answer itself.
Welcome Raymus, my steam name is irwinryan as strangely iryan was already taken.
I'm not sure whether it's the same or been revamped or what, only that it started on March 1st last year. Quite possibly its different as I think anyone can start a group on Steam but don't hold me to that as I don't really know.
Its one thing to start a group but quite another for it to grow and prosper, possibly steam is littered with the ghosts of long abandoned groups left to wither and die through neglect.
While Steam may be limited in some ways, it at least does offer someplace to meet and discuss the game and the owner of the group does have plans on expanding the discussion forum there to cover more categories and would like feedback.
I added you on Steam.
And by sacrificing the time and energy to click a few buttons, I found the group that I first joined. I'm still in it, so it's a different one. It has less members. Edit: One of the first lines does link to the 'Official Group' though. So... I guess this ones a bit outdated. But it also says they'll try to keep it updated.

Thank you.
I would say its pretty active with 44 active on-line members out of 369 total but its a more focused group towards playing the game and finding players to play with. Grana is one of the moderators at the Official Steam Group, so that's why there's a link. Probably most of the members are the same.
I think Killah is focused more towards promoting the game and adding more interest in the form of expanding content for both games. One aspect of that is modding. Another aspect is trying to get a server for playing Dungeon Siege which would benefit everyone. I believe that's where the 500 member mark comes in. Either way I believe its worth promoting.
