Map Reset? What's going on...

Well if you look at it this way- PWI is still their flagship money maker, and with over 100m in RL cash invested into this company NOT including the profits from CSers...

They're letting a lot of people down aside from their player base. So, for a multi-million dollar company, this is pretty bad maintenance of their "cash cow."


EDIT: TWers being a large portion of the CSers... they should probably cater some updates to them so they don't stop investing.


But yeah, no rage here, just general curiosity as to wtf is going on. When will map reset be, is there any new content coming with anni, reasons for the delays, is this the last anni?

I've been looking forward excitedly to anni for a while now, being an original sep 08er, and still an active player to this day- just wondering if this is kind of a hint that they want us to start looking for a new game...

I don't believe a game is dead until the staff does, and this to me looks pretty ominous.

You have no idea what you are talking about, Gms are part of the "team" but dont deal in forums unless they have too. frankie is an employee. . He did know and shoulda done his job as the forums are his per view. do you even know what a community game manager does? Have you ever been a mod for a game? When you have come back and post

LoL?

Your comment doesn't even make sense. You say GMs don't deal in forums unless they have to, but then say he should have done his job as the forums are "his" (not sure what you mean there by 'per view.' Perhaps you meant per se?)?

Try reading your post before hitting submit.

Yes I know what a Game Manager does, they represent the company's public relations in game. That means if events are hosted that need an in-game company representative, the GMs are the ones that do it. If newsletters need to be written, or announcements, they do it. If they are told to do grunt work on the forums, which is usually not their job, they will do that too. In other words, they follow the orders given to them. They don't have free reign to just do or say whatever they want. They typically can NOT give us an update without permission.

GMs are also not as active in competitive (PvP) games, because players tend to entertain themselves killing each other. We have a very high end PvP society, in fact that is where most of their profit comes from. When the game was young we had a lot of GM interaction on a daily basis. As the game has matured we need less involvement from them. Yes we miss them, but we are pretty entertained on our own.

That's not even the point- the point is that the COMPANY is treating its player base like ****. If there is a Director of PWI Events then THAT is the only individual who should be cowing and feeling like a total idiot right now. If it is a team, we're likely to have simply had a communication breakdown or a missing person or someone they didn't realize was actually important got let go.

Our GMs are on our side for the most part. They see how crappy the company treats us and how bad it makes us feel. EatWithSpoons actually QUIT his job with PWI because of this, and later posted a HUGE RANT on Twitter about how CRAPPY PWI treats its customers.

My point is put blame where blame is due, don't just wildly point fingers.


Edit: And just a note: Too means a surplus or also. Ex, too many idiots. Or, GMs read the forums too. Have too would be akin to have as well. I still have no idea what you meant by per view though.

I'm guessing they just don't know if it will be reset during the Anni.

Would REALLY be nice, it was supposed to reset 2 weeks ago.
