Since Nov 2007 when I started playing on MY-EN I've been seeing the same suggestions over and over and over and its now more than a full year later.

Still not a single suggestion seemed to have ever made it even close to implimentation, why is that?

Howcome we have a suggestion forum in the first place, does it serve any purpose?

    This or similar questions come up quite often.

    interesting thread here.

    indeed EVERY thread posted in this particular forum is read by several folks at various levels of rank and title from within the company - the feedback here is just too rich and varied to do otherwise.

    keep in mind that through the course of every working day we have our own 'fix' list of things to work on - issues that our internal QA team discovers along with bits that are discovered (or in the case of customer service - reported to) by the engineering, community and product groups. you'd actually be surprised at the amount of suggestions offered by the community that mirror exactly what is already being discussed internally. occassionally, feedback/suggestions found in this forum will make its way to the top of the 'fix' list.

    by all means do continue and offer your feedback and suggestions here. we're truly all ears.

    Regarding the suggestions, if one *was* to be implemented into the game, should we expect it to hit the other versions first, or does this International version have independent developers from the other MY,PH,etc. versions?

    Thanks.

    Exactly what happens to suggestions?

    The good ones (ie. the worst ones) get pinned up by the watercooler and PW-I headquarters so that when employees congregate there they can have a good laugh at them, followed by a discussion about what substance the person who made the suggestion was most likely under the influence of at the time.

    Far as I know, the only actual changes and updates come in the form of patches, which come from China.

    There are rumours that staff members compile some of the more interesting, plausible, sensible and original suggestions and then send them to China to see what they think of them.

    Personally though, I reckon that's a load of bollocks. The suggestions box is useless aside from having a good laugh at. That's just my $0.02 though.
    Everyone here is ridiculously oversensitive.

    Haha. Actually I'm a bit skeptical myself.

    The idea of the Suggestions Box just seems to be a medium for the players to feel like they're being listened to. A bit of a comfort thing, so that what ever little issues they have may possibly be solved *one* day. Whether or not these ideas fall on deaf ears, I don't know, but I'll be optimistic and hope that something does get done, and not in one year, but in say a month or two.

    No matter, I'd recommend people keep posting great ideas, some are good to read and also there's the off chance that somebody may do something about it.

    *crosses fingers*
