    I'll admit frankie, I was pretty bitter about spoons, and when you came on, I did not give you an entirely fair shot. And I apologize for that.

    CM's come and go, make advances in their career, move to other gaming companies. It is sad when it happens, as when we communicate with you daily over the years, we develop a form of relationship that is not far from friendship.

    You did well, man. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to PWI. I hope your future takes you to your wildest dreams and then some :)

    so the community manage which was never available beside of posting mainteance notices is officially gone now ?

    yay, what a loss for this forum b:kiss

    You are what we call a doos in my language.

    You obviously have no idea how online community managers work do you? They are only allowed to respond to what their bosses allow them to! Some threads that frankie responded to got him in trouble even. Stop being a biitch cause you have no clue what you are talking about!

    Goodbye frankie! You will be missed, thank you for trying your best to respond to us even when you weren't allowed to. I really hope you left out of your own free will. Thank you for putting up with all our QQ, goodbye you will be missed <3

    Good bye and good luck

    I am excited that maybe we will get a CM that is honest and does his best for the community and company now. Someone who takes responsibility for his actions. I dont like people who lie alot so never been a fan of Frankie but hopefully he will find a job that fits him better now and we players can get a nicer person to communicate with.

    Well, have a good 1 frankie...b:victory


    And most definately, thank you for your 2(+) years of work on the {PWi} community, as its resident {CM}

    Aswell as for sticking it out, until the Forums (Spam Bot attacks) were finally being countered.... Woulda seriously sucked, had you left during their assaults apex on the forums (woulda upset alot of people & left them in a despondent state of disbelief) had you made this announcement back during the siege on the forums)(b:shocked)


    b:thanks__Well as I said before, have a good 1 and take care... Maybe we'll hear from you again on any other standard users accounts, that you may still have active for {PWi} like Kritty's been doing with his main (players/user) account.....b:victory

    Hey guys,


    Today is my last day at PWE, and I want to express how honored I am to have served as your Community Manager for as long as I did. I know I say this in my blog posts a lot, but it's absolutely true -- never have I seen such a creatively talented community of players as the one PWI has. You guys are passionate and smart, and all of you are responsible for PWI being such an incredible world. I also sincerely encourage you to work with our moderation team to come up with suggestions in the new Suggestions thread that KawaiiJen set up (check the Suggestions Forum). Our mods have really made a point of spearheading the project, and the in-house PWI team is fully invested in making as many of these happen as technically possible.

    I've had a lot of awesome times here, and I'll never forget them. I wish you all luck in your future endeavors.

    Now I leave you in the capable hands of Genotypist, Do0cracy, MonkeyShatter, and our very awesome mod team.

    As always, take care of each other, and may our paths cross again soon!

    I don't understand how anyone that is at all genuine and logical, could possibly have enjoyed this man's work. His job may have entailed more than just "CM = Community Manager", but his constant lack of doing just that, was one of his largest downfalls.

    Frankie took over Spoons job. If you read Spoons' old blog, it is very obvious that he left the company due to the greed and constant theft (yes, a corrupt company would be considered one that thieves). He was hired to manage the community. He was on once or twice a week, and mainly just to close a thread or tell players whether we have maintenance or not. He couldn't do his job well, and respectively should have resigned a long time ago, and left this "CM" job to someone who can do it correctly.

    To add to this poor management, Frankie was fond of never answering PMs, questions, requests, locking threads that didn't need locking, purposely ignoring threads for months, banning people that did nothing wrong, etc. The list just keeps going on, really.

    The worst part of it all is he kept doing it, even after stating multiple times in threads back in early 2011 that he would be "online more, and communicate better with players". I guess the worst part is the morality of it. Anyone who can boldly lie to other people, represents a greedy company, and doesn't follow through with his own word; is an immoral being, that doesn't deserve the money he gets.

    Take what I say as grain of salt, because obviously (I'm posting on a new account) I've had very large issues with the staff of PWE, and Frankie was the top dog on my list. If you don't believe me, start early 2011 in the lower depths/general discussion and enjoy what you read. I know I sure did.

    Goodbye Frankie, enjoy your next greedy job.

    you might not of liked Frankie, the company he represents or how he did his job. Do you really think that this is the time to be shooting down the Community Manager for how much he went through over the yrs with having to put up with alot of the troll threads and complaints. Frankie has done his job as best he could do it so if you have nothing to say that could be encouraging, then maybe you should take a hike.

    Frankie

    Haven't been able to find the words to say here till now. Im sure it was and has been really hard for you to of taken on the complaints and bitterness of the pwi community when things didn't go the right way and how the reputation of PWE was being targeted each and every time. Everyone that had and still have an appreciation for you as being the CM of pwi, wants to express their appreciation toward you for doing the job as best as you could do it even when there were times when you wanted to give us more on problems than what PWE wanted you to say. All of us will miss you Frankie and hope that you'll drop in sometimes as your moving on to something better. TC Frankie and Godspeed.

    PS: Pt2 sry for the double post here but had something that i wanted to say.

    I'm not a big fan of Frankie either but he's saying his goodbyes. You could at least be a little more sympathetic to him. Just like the old saying "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all"

    Take care Frankie and good luck b:cute

    snippet

    You seemed to have covered things quite well, even if people on here are denying it.

    In order to understand why a lot of people don't respect frankie... You would have to been around when Spoons had the job. It was a lot different back then, it felt like we actually had someone who was around often and cared about what we said. It's not even the whole "oh, change happened, let's hate on the change!" sort of thing either.

    Frankie... well... I just haven't seen much from him to complement him on. I'm a pretty fair person but I honestly can't recall much of what frankie did in his time here.
    I've been here since beta and I really can't recall anything that would make me appreciate frankie as a cm. Regardless of what he does behind the scenes (whatever he does or doesn't do), he just didn't do enough for the community to have really left a good, lasting impression. The best I've seen from frankie that I can recall at this moment were his stickies for discussion on whatever big issue or big content was going on at the time, and occasional in game appearances.

    Frankie was just a mediocre cm. That's all there is to him. He did a few things around here, but most of the time he was just forgettable. He just felt like he was some mod that only came on once in a while to fulfill some duties and then disappear for the rest of the time.

    As for frankie and the game itself, he has deficiencies in his knowledge of the game itself. Most of you probably didn't notice it because most of you either don't keep up with information from china or don't know anything about perfect world beyond what you see in game. Even the most experienced of players wouldn't be able to tell unless they've gone beyond with what is in the game.
    It was subtle, but the hints were there, the most recent being Frankie's comment about how smilies worked. (spoiler: he was dead wrong)
    I don't know if I should blame him or blame Wanmei for that, though.

    I end my criticism here though. Note I'm not angry or trying to rain on the parade, I'm simply presenting a different view on Frankie.
    Frankie is obviously either one of two things based on what is in this thread: the idiot cm who is rarely around or the lovable cm who is quite busy with his work.
    I have my opinion, you guys have yours.



    tl;dr I'm not fond of frankie

    I've always been thoroughly disappointed with the facelessness of PW and their lack of community, player, and customer support. However, Frankie was one of the few people who seemed to listen to the player base and try to make changes for the better.

    being CM is really hard im sure, handling thousands of player, some player are happy and some people are not. There are many player who are happy to see u around and some player are trying to compare u with the previous CM. But all i can say is u trying ur best as CM, its really sad to see u go. But i hope u have a great future in ur new job.

    tl;dr I'm not fond of frankie

    Except this isn't a performance review. It's a human being making a life transition and saying farewell to the people who cared. There isn't any reason to dump on him or present a different view. It won't change anything and only serves to possibly hurt feelings. I really hope if you ever leave your current job, when you say goodbye to your friends, that nobody jumps in and talks about how much better off everyone will be due to your failings. Because nobody is perfect and we all have them. There is a time and a place for venting those kinds of criticisms. It's a not a discussion on his time here, it's a farewell. Do you really need to get in one last pot shot?

    LOL corrupt. Do you want to exaggerate it a little more? He was just a messenger. If he had any ability to call any shots it would have been in a very shallow, minuscule level.

    He managed the community as best as he could and was allowed to. Being someone who worked with Frankie for a little over two years I have gotten to know him both on a professional and personal level and I will not let some forum troll disrespect someone based on false, hateful accusations that had nothing to do with him as a community manager and a human being.

    You're a joke.
