    First off welcome to the cm job for pwi.

    Secondly does someone think we can do something about all the stickies? I almost didn't catch this post with all the stickies in general discussion. Cluttered forums are cluttered.

    EDIT: Don't get me wrong though, I can definitely see why each needs to be stickied, but yea... it is definitely cluttered imo. :$

    Welcome aboard! Its great to have a CM for PWI. I am sure you will do fine, just hope you can listen with an open mind to the players when we get disgruntled on occasion, and hope you have a flame retardant suit. It can get hot here lol.

    Question, last I was in game I saw a lot of new factions (which is good) that didn't have faction icons. Any idea when PWI will update them? I can't imagine they all haven't turned in icons, that would be odd.

    Ohaider, welcome to PWI.

    Just a quick question that I'm sure the morai players are wanting answered. When will the people from morai who had to deal with their server being out and the rollback get their compensation?

    One of the EU staff has since left, and now we're getting a new CM. I hope this issue isn't forgotten so the players of Morai server get their compensation so they can be happy with the PWE franchise again.

    I would hate it if Dreamweaver had an issue and took as long as this for the GM's to try and rectify the issue with the players.

    I am more then glad to see that someone is in charge for us again finally :D

    Now all I could possibly wish for is for you to announce important stuffs like Maints and stuff just like we were used to...and maybe a short notice if theweekly maint will be postponed to a different day.

    Nah skip my gibberish xD that all doesn't matter, I'm sure you'll be doing a great job. Good to have you here (:

    A dreamchaser pack seems like an insult compared to the days of gameplay people lost. I hope they were compensated with more.

    Well it was that plus these
    So full compensation it is
    5x EXP from 09.01.2014 to 16.01.2014
    2x EXP from 09.01.2014 to 23.01.2014
    1000 ZEN and Dreamchaser package
    All ZEN transaction will be refunded

    After what happened with Archo though, I'm not surprised.

    Hello!

    You may have read the maintenance thread, but I'd like to formally introduce myself here. My CM name is sparkiesoft and I've been working in the gaming industry for about 3 years now. As DoD mentioned, I'll be on PWI as well as Arc, so if you ever have any questions or concerns, let me know and I'll try to answer them to the best of my abilities.

    I'm usually not much for words, so if you have any particular questions about myself, feel free to ask. (appropriate of course!)

    I look forward to hearing from all of you!

    Welcome and congratulations on your new role as Community Manager b:victory

    Welcome sparkiesoft and glad to finally have a CM. Looking forward to hearing more from you and maybe we can finally have someone express the concerns of players to the right people. As I'm sure you are aware there are many, many issues us players have concerns over so i hope you are ready for a lot of hard work xD. But again glad to have you on board! b:victory

    Welcome to the asylum. Good luck! You will need it b:laugh

    As for a question, which class was your first?
    We are not now that strength which in old days
    Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
    One equal temper of heroic hearts,
    Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
    To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

    WELCOME SPARKLES! b:chuckles


    Just a few hints to help you navigate the PWI Bus

    Offend the foxies cookies and pets & they'll bite your ankles (they can't reach any higher)
    Offend the kitties and they'll pretty much take you out at the kneecaps
    Offend the Clerics and they coral all the classes which usually ends up with perma death
    Offend the pew-pewers and they use you for target practice (it's nice to see they practice)
    Offe .... look at any of the fishy classes and they will ... lets just say don't make eye contact and just back away SLOWLY in a hastened fashion

    anywho welcome and btw the windows on this bus taste like raspberry b:bye

    Welcome, oh sparkly one! I am surprised none of out illustrious poster flooded this thread with shinny, shinny ponies.

    On a serious note, there are lots to betaken care of, and the community is very vocal, so brace yourself, it's going to be a really bumpy ride. Also, do not keep us in the dark, a simple 'I don't know/ nothing can be said/ I'm not at liberty to say' goes a long, long way.

    Welcome sparkling CM! You should know we're a crazy bunch of people and we're hard to control at times but don't worry we don't bite (too much).

    Another thing I need to mention is that a lot of people are going to have expectations of you. Our previous CM (not synchroze or DoD, taling about the previous permanent one) did quite a lot of work and was dedicated to the PWI community. We hope you can the same or at the very least maintain a better communication with the playerbase even when all you can say is "sorry I have no news to give".
