1719952472497.png1719952472497.pngTerrarians, get your party hats and special vanity ready as the Terraria Community Forums nears its tenth anniversary!​



That's right, at the end of September the forums will be celebrating ten years (!), and we thought it would be fun to open things up to our forum members - all newcomers (hi, welcome), those that have been here since the beginning (we salute you), and everyone in between (waving) - to plan the celebration.

Line up at the Party Center

, in a single-file queue and an orderly fashion, and let us know your thoughts...

CONTEST
1719952945561.png
Should there be a contest? What type of contest (builds, art, other)? What theme would you like to see (birthday theme, something special about the forums, other)? How long should entries be accepted? Who should judge (have a poll for forum members to vote, have the forum staff judge, other)? What type of prizes would you like to see?​
​
QUESTION AND ANSWER
1719953002328.png
Would you like to see some sort of "Ask Me Anything"? To whom do you want to ask your questions?​

Do you like the idea of a memories thread? A place for members to gather and share their favorite happenings from over the years.​
​
SPECIAL STUFF 1719952945561.png Anything else that might be fun that isn't a contest or Q&A? Maybe a hidden spoiler, or something else that we haven't thought of? Now is the time to share the ideas of what you would do to head up the celebration.​

10 YEAR TITLE 1719953002328.png What do you think the special title should be for being a member of the forums for ten years? For example, you receive the Skeletron Prime forum title when you've been here for a year, you receive the Empress of Light title after six years. What should it be for ten years? (Moon Lord has already been used.) You can see the current list of titles HERE. Got any flavor text you want to see included?​

Things to keep in mind...

1719953586832.png
1719953033872.png If you like the ideas that other have posted before you, make sure that you indicate that - either by "liking" their post or referencing in your own post that you like the idea (or both). It will help us know which suggestions are resonating with you. Although, just because an idea is the most popular doesn't mean that it is guaranteed to happen. A lot of other things come into play (time, effort, resources, availability, viability, etc). We will do our best though.​
​
1719952945561.png This is the forum's anniversary, so we want to keep it very forum-centered.​

Balloon Workbench to help craft ideas for how the forums should celebrate ten great years!1719953065951.png​
 
Yes to the hidden spoiler idea! I’m ready for another challenge.:dryadnaughty:

As for other ideas, maybe one or two new sets of NPC emotes with the chosen NPC being voted on by forum members. Obviously Crowno or Jim would have to be available to make them but it would be cool to have more NPC options.

Another idea of the top of my head is a new painting being added to the game. It could be a contest where members submit their paintings and the winners get added to the game (like the Journey’s End Vanity Contest). Alternatively, it could be done as a collaboration where forum members get to design a 5x5 pixel section of the painting.

I would personally choose Zenith or Terra Blade, but if that would break the pattern of most titles being specific mobs, then I think it could be kind of funny to have the 10 year title be Bunny or Gold Bunny or something like that.

YES
DEFINITELY NEW REACTIONS
a "confused" one should definitely be a thing, idrk about anything else at the moment though
that said, we should obviously make it so that merchant and pirate are used for the new reactions since the others have already been used for one

That’s not what I meant. I was thinking new emotes of an NPC, like the Zoologist or Goblin Tinkerer. New emote emotions or reactions could also be cool though.

There should be a writing / poetry slam about the forums and/or about Terraria in general.
Categories may be:
  • Poems
  • Extra short stories (<420 characters)
  • Short Stories (<20k characters)
  • Long stories (20k+ characters)
The ten year title shall be called "Old man" like the NPC you speak to to summon Skeletron to get the ticket to the dungeon.

I like this concept a lot. There's a lot of friends I've made here and I'd enjoy hearing them talk about the events we had, official like the axe vs. tree war or unofficial like the themed profiles for different months. Great times for both!

I really like this collaborative mural concept as well, since I could see it bringing a lot of the community together.
 
I did suggest new reactions in a TCF suggestion thread, but I didn't specify what NPCs they would be. Maybe people could decide that here.

What the :red: do you mean "hidden spoiler idea"?
There is nothing, and I hope you have a terrible rest of year for wasting my time.

They never said there was a hidden spoiler, it was just suggested since they have done one on the forums previously and RGD was the one to find it.

this gave me whiplash considering the most negative comments i've seen on this forum are passive agressive remarks

A thinking emote should also be as a reaction.
