Hire a CM already

With all the recent issues the game has been having lately being far worse than anything I have ever seen before it has given me pause as to why. And I think it can in truth be a result of this game not having a CM. While synchroze is watching/babysitting this game he is in fact not the CM, he runs other games by PWE and was chosen to be here until a CM was hired. Well I think it's high time that whoever is in charge of hiring get off their lazy behind and find us a new CM. You can not run a game of this size with out constant management.

As someone who once worked in management and also once worked under poor management I can clearly see that what is happening is a result of people having no direction. While it might seem easy for people who have worked at the same place to run things without a manager it is extremely difficult to do. You need that one person in charge to direct, guide and bring everyone together so they work as a whole. And when you don't have that person, things fall apart.

So whether it's the Dev's that do the hiring or people back here in the US, please get a new CM. It has been several months and after looking at the current state of the game it's obvious you need one.

    Seriously, after Val left, the forum staff has been very minimal. What happened?

    v4liance was the driving force behind much of that. Now PWE has two CMs tag teaming support for this game, although neither of them are solely dedicated to this title so their time is stretched thinner than his was. DefenderofDreams and Synchroze are the CMs.

    They should make DoD a permanent CM. He seems like a pretty nice guys who does what he can.

    I completely agree, we really need a permanent CM that can take care of things, especially now with all these problems we've having with the servers and minimal communication with the staff.

    A community manager does not manage the game.

    When Frankie was CM, they game was not faring much better than it is now.

    What is needed is a change of mentality at the top level of management of the company.
    Frankieraye said : "we can promise that we will work to improve all facets of community, engineering, and customer service to ensure that something like this doesn't happen again."


    (We are still waiting to see any improvements or changes beign implemented. More empty promises from PWI?)

    A CM who pushes things does help though. V4liance would also respond to my PMs and helped me out quite a bit while he was a CM. He was quite active on the forums too and at the very least he'd let us know how things are even if all he could say is that he has no new information.

    A CM makes a major difference in how the game is run. I remember when Frankie was here as well (to this day I cringe whenever hearing the word soon f:scared ) and while it was not good it was no where near this bad. When Val was in charge the whole game ran so much smoother. We need someone to be solely in charge of this game (not running between 2 and 3 others), or things like this are just going to continue to happen.

    This is the type of **** that makes me wanna go play other games. There's no excuse for repeated mistakes like this on a large mmo. Idc if pwi is free, they're still making a killing off unskilled tards that have to cash their gears...man would I be really pissed if I were one of them right now ;D

    Anywho i'm done logging until there's a roll back or some form of completely fair compensation. If they can't accomplish this soon, farewell "perfect" world.

    They aren't losing money, the entire game is designed around the "whale" type sales model, where they make their money off of the 1% of the playerbase who are willing to spend 10,000+ dollars on a game.

    An official PWI CM would be really helpful. Shame that PWE refuses to hire the needed staff to properly maintain face.

    Part of me wonders how restricted a CM would be, honestly.

    If it's to get someone that endlessly and solely says "we are sorry, we will get it fixed SOON" again, no thanks. b:surrender
    Maintenance time. Please choose a line:
    - When is it over? OMG I need my fix!! *super spazzing*
    - Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
    - New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
    - When will we get new content? QQ
    - Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.
    - I'm bored, I'll create a useless thread to annoy Opkorock.
    - *Incessant poking on Sweetiebot* Fun~
