    I don't mean to be rude or anything, but I would like to know something of sparkie's background

    From what he has said, it doesn't seem like he knows much about this game, if anything at all, and I find that concerning for a CM. Someone who has played the game, and knows the underlying issues and what the playerbase wants is needed as a CM, not a "noob".

    At least hes not a robot like a certain cm we used to have

    If Sparkie is a indeed a complete noob, as I get the feeling he is, maybe we could vote on some experienced pwi players, one pers server or whatnot, to be given some kind of volunteer position as server spokesperson/adviser to get issues out to be fixed.

    Not to worry, perfectly legitimate concern. I am indeed a noob, however I have been taking the time to play, as well as read the wiki. I also have some fantastic mods that I have given my personal Skype information to. While I may not get everything right the first time, I am definitely going to try my best.

    Oh and I'm working on something similar to what you're requesting. I don't have details yet, but I would like some sort of GA's or players that can talk with me directly about any current issues. When I get more forum permissions and a little more settled in, I'll start brainstorming ideas and get the community involved as well.

    As always, if you have suggestions I'm all ears. b:pleased

    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!

    Best of luck to you. It is a tough bunch here.

    Sparkie, any idea when the new faction logos will be installed? I know its something small, but a lot of factions think of them like a badge and as important as having a base and it has been well over a month for a lot of the newer factions.

    I wasn't aware of this. I'll bring it up and see if I get any answers

    Good to know. In some situations someone with no background to an area can bring a light of hope that others who have experience and have felt the despair and hopelessness of a situation cannot. If you are willing to talk to players off game, I would like to get in contact with you about an ongoing situation that has been going on if you are willing to listen. I'll send you a message on forums about it.

    I strongly recommend not making Sanctuary your base of operations. In irony to its name, it is somehow the biggest cesspool of crime and corruption in all of pwi.

    Hello everyone,

    I'd like to give you some good news today! As many of you know (or don't), Synchroze and I have been tag-teaming the duties of being CM (community manager) of the PWI forums for quite some time now. Actually, too long to be quite honest! This game deserves much more of our time than we could give, so you would only see us when the boat started to shake and the water was rocky.

    Thankfully, this is now coming to an end with a new CM who will be both dedicated to PWI and ARC together!

    You may have seem him around the forums lately as he is very interested on past and current hot topics of the community. I've given him the briefing on what we'd all like to see for PWI, but I'm sure many of you will re-iterate these topics (as you should).

    He is very new and so please be gentle with him. b:victory

    Introducing... your new CM... SparkieSoft!


    isnt Synchroze the admin for RH?

    Oh I know. We've talked about it here at the office. Not sure if anything is going to change at the moment, but I'll let you guys know if it does.

    BForce them to change the white font to something like blue or dark grey f:fume The grey font they have here is good enough.

    They also really need to make links have a different colour..right now you can't tell if someone has a link in their post or not.

    Even if you must leave the colors as they are, can you at least put the bar at the top back with all of the links on it? We no longer have quick access to support, fb blessings, main news page, zen page, etc. and that is really frustrating. Especially frustrating when you keep telling people to submit a ticket about a problem, and there is no nice obvious link up at the top to get there (and when I used the tiny unnoticable one at the bottom it did not take me to the correct place).

    The white font is harsh but I can deal with it. But this new layout with the top items missing is so not user friendly.

    This post made me cringe.f:scared

    1) Sparkie wasn't hired at that time.
    2) The website messed things up.
    3) Who knows what their real reasons are for banning and not banning? They sure as hell will NEVER tell us, and I don't blame them because neither would I should I ever be in their shoes.

    4) For someone level 105, you are not too bright.

    Grats on the Avatar, Sparkie. Where is it from? Or custom made from a drawing?
