new community manager

What's going on? change of plans?

I guess no new CM for us!

just give me admin and you will not have to pay me

If we give you admin then the rest of NCsoft would all be out of a job not long after. We wouldn't have to pay anyone.

Eh its too be expected, we are not very high on NCSoft's importance list now more then ever...... Hate to say it but i do think CT1 probably be the last major update L2 gets in NA/Euro

Oh, I don't know. That seems a bit severe.

Still, why they are having problems with the new CM is beyond me. It could be that they have a person in mind but that person can't start "yet". Or that they are still in the interview process.

It's possible that the job just doesn't pay enough and they are having problems getting people.

Or that no one is dumb enough to be in the human dunk tank when they have absolutely no say about the future or direction of the game in the NA market :p

Interesting enough, I would love to have a job like that. A local game company is actually hiring a CM. However, it is a bit too inconvenient for me to get to. The other thing is I imagine the salary is so low that it would be difficult to make a living.

But I think it would be a great job to have. Certainly better than my current job.

I don't think they have anyone yet....

Thats the impression i'm getting at least.

No its not bad, as long as its for a game thats developed in the NA Market.

I use to do it for Fighter Ace (Zone game, Microsoft.. like 8 years ago 0.o) and no it didnt pay crap, extremely long hours, etc.

It does look good on your resume though if your wanting to go higher up the gaming food chain as its a nice stepping stone.

Im not good enough anymore?

Patients. Good CMs don't grow on trees and we can all agree that you all don't want me running wild in here.

Patients? Jeez you're sounding more and more like the in game GMs :/.

He is a GM..... An HGM

Patience (I tried to resist, really) is a very important thing.

I for one look forward to finding out who they hired on as the new CM.

Were it not for the pesky detail of having to move to Texas, I would have put in for it myself. I've got quite a wealth of experience, I just don't want to move to Texas.

Ahh mistryl isn't here to correct my spelling. I guess I made my point?

I've got quite a wealth of experience, I just don't want to move to Texas.

who would want to move to Texas? Heat, Humidity, and Roaches. Sounds like paradise to me!!!

I'm plenty happy in northern California.

Well, I could use a job, but that might take away from my forum trolling time.

not if your job WAS forum trolling.

I was born and raised in California. I thought that I would never leave; I loved it.

I have now lived in Texas for 2 years and honeslty I would never go back to California. ( I might consider it if I was offered a job I liked at over 150k a year. Maybe.)

No more 5.
No more 101.
No more 110.
No more 405.
No more 10.
No more 60.
No more 10. (yes twice)
No more 91. (oh lord)
No more 500k house in the hood.
No more $4 a gallon.

Wait... this is not my thread.

~Carry on.

This is a good point.

But I still don't want to move to Texas.

[Edit: At least, not without a guarantee]

But everything's bigger in Texas y'all!

This discussion is now about how Texas sucks. GL trying to get it back on track.

I have been though about half of the states and so far, Texas is definitely in the top 3 worst states. There has got to be something wrong when it is hotter in the shade than it is in the sunlight. I lived there for 5 years and hated every second of it.

On the other hand, my top 2 states are Oregon and Washington. 60-70 degree weather for like 3/4 of the year.

Where does new mexico go on the top 3 worst states? We have to be in at least the top 3. :p


Actually...alot of people dont even realize its a state. That coule be why we never make the top 3 worst. :p

I have nothing against Texas. Really.

But I don't want to live there. Just like most every other state.

And is gas cheaper in Bushistan?

Texas pwns new mexico for top 3 worst. I have been there, its not great, but its no where near Texas.

****! I dont ever want to see Texas then

On the other hand, my top 2 states are Oregon and Washington. 60-70 degree weather for like 3/4 of the year.

OMG .... where in God's name is this ideal place you are talking about? It definitely isn't Western WA!!! Actually, San Diego has that kind of weather.... and REAL Mexican food!!!

We just had a weekend of 75 degree weather, and everyone and their brother was freaked out. It never gets like that in May. Especially not EARLY May.

But then, most people think northern California is the San Francisco Bay. I'm actually 6 hours north of that.

Screw "real" mexican food. Taco Bell all the way. j/k.

I live in Portland. Yes it rains alot, but the temperature is perfect (for me obviously).

But everything's bigger in Texas y'all!

Except Alaska.. we can fit 3 Texas's in here.. hehe.. You want big... you got to brave the chill....

Watch it... they will pull the contiguous card on you. LOL.

I must have missed this one, because I would have said that the People and Roaches are not an exception to this rule.

But everything's bigger in Texas y'all!

...including the Idiots...

:eek:

I'm not so sure about the whole Roaches thing really...

Having lived in Texas for 12 years or so (Galvaston Bay or is that with a i..hmm), then coming to mid Florida, ugh man..

At least in Texas, the roaches coudnt fly at you. Here? You'll see the **** things winging their way right into your **** living room and its fuggin freaky. We live on a lake and theres just no way to get rid of them... and they get huge.

I saw roaches flying in Texas. My room mate (at the time) had like 3 of them fly at him as he was trying to get into our appartment. I had one wake me up in the middle of the night by walking on my hand (which was inches from my face btw). I couldnt get back to sleep for hours.

Texas also has Geckos. They are as annoying as roaches, except you dont want to just stomp on them cause.... yuck.

Seriously, who would want to live in a place that is prime for nuclear weapon tests (this still wouldnt take care of the roach problem... they just dont die)?

That maybe will make them bigger to the point that you may some day have a chat with them some day :p :p

I figured NC would focus here a bit more then devote more energy to Aion... ;P

If we don't get a new community manager I wouldn't be surprised, and if we did they'd be very hard pressed to match up to Mistryl, so I'll be disappointed either way.

amuses me you think $4 a galloon is expensive. try $7 a galloon.

Where does it cost that much? Thats way to much.

you just love texas bc you have now a arsenal of weponeray in your house

Coming from Louisiana - Texas is not nearly as bad. Picture Texas heat and stupid swamps and bigs everywhere. Mosquitos as big as your head. HOT all year round and you have to dodge hurricanes every freaking year. Not to mention Louisiana is last place in everything (education etc etc etc) But good side = best food ever (your northern people sure like it bland :)) and Mardi Gras on Bourbon Street anyone? Louisiana - great place to visit (at least when they rebuild New Orleans) WORST place to live.

I havent been to louisiana, but I wouldnt doubt it is exactly as you say. No wonder the french let us have it for so cheap.

Paris > everywhere. NCsoft should move! :p

South Carolina's pretty far behind too, I don't know how it ranks with Lousiana but we're right there. All of the southern states aren't doing so well in many regards

Not true for the most part. I live in New Orleans and I think it's great. It is mainly back to normal where I live, yet some parts are still uninhabited from the storm. No suburbs connected to another by a 2-lane road (Baton Rouge). New Orleans does have the best food. Sure, the mosquitoes might be a pain, but on some days you'll get bit a lot, on others you won't get bit at all.

Paris > everywhere. NCsoft should move! :p

If you like high prices, the occasional riots and French language, then sure.

There's no riot in Paris, just some orcs deleveling on guards in outskirts. :p
Et le Français est langue internationale, j'exige que le nouveau CM parle Français !
:)

Not at the moment ;)

And why on earth should the new CM speak French? I vote for latin!

i vote english bc more english server then you europeans!

Yep. Precisely. A Latin-Speaking Community Manager with full Roman battle armor (ornamental of course), dictating orders for his empire :o

Not at the moment ;)

Because UN does! :cool:

I live in New Mexico, Albuquerque. The Bigest city in the State... and its only like ... allmost 900,000 ppl. smal but not to bad >.>

I live in albuquerque to!

I think the new CM should speak Gaelic.

Exclusively. <.<

Is that your way of volunteering? Maybe they should only be allowed to speak pig latin.

My character's name is gaelic for "born from flowers".
I'm the culprit. I avow.
:eek: :o

NB: not washtak. I said my character's name, you bunch of firbolgs.

Because UN does! :cool:

UN, the fine organization of "cant do nothing, too much bureaucracy and too many ppl deciding about things."

Imo, it is one of the worst organizations I've ever had to deal with. Hence why I prefer NATO or EU led peacekeeping missions to UN led.

Perhaps, but still better to have than not to have

Tseric, a Blizzard CM, got fired/quit like two days ago!

/think of the possibilities

I wouldn't want to be the CM for a community like this. Are you kidding? I can barely bring myself to log in and deal with the rampant ******tery as it is.

haha "******tery"

Paris > everywhere. NCsoft should move! :p

Can you imagine a pack of southwestern americans moving to paris?

I'd give them a few days before causing an international disturbance. (like accidentally conquering paris)

LOL. It wouldnt be that hard. France would give up before they even started to conquer it.

NCS: Hello Paris!

Paris: We surrender!

Oh no... the french do not respond to anything but french, even if they know 14 other languages including english and sign language and you are mute.

It would be more like:

NCS: Hello!
french: *sticks nose in air*
NCS: Hola?
french: *sticks nose in air*
NCS: Ni hao?
french: *sticks nose in air*
NCS: Annyong ha shimnikka? (sp?)
french: *sticks nose in air*
NCS: *signs hello in sign language, and when that fails, spells it it sign language*
french: *sticks nose in air*
NCS: *looks up french words for "hello"* Bonjour?
french: *sticks nose in air as they said it in terrible french*
NCS: *shrugs and moves on to packing and drops something causing it to make a loud noise*
french: we surrender!

I bet you the first time someone actually tries to swim across the ocean after looking up google directions then google is going to get the hell sued out of them. Just a feeling I get. :p

Oh no... the french do not respond to anything but french, even if they know 14 other languages including english and sign language and you are mute.

LOL this is soooo true ... when I work with French techs, they understand what I say to them in English, but answer in French and there still has to be interpreter on the phone with us heh. Now imagine how "fun" is to troubleshoot network problems remotely this way.

road trip!

who will be around to sue them?

The family of the guy that drowned......

Why is it that I can see that happening too? It really wouldn't surprise me at all

The family of the guy that drowned......

I dont know if they could prove that he actually did it, but then again...

lol dude it was only suppose to be a joke. You see people are sueing(sp) other people for ridiculous stuff. You remember the hot coffee incident at mcdonalds? Lawsuit! Im just saying if someone reads these directions and then goes to swim across the ocean and then dies in the process. I would almost guarantee(sp sorry I quit smoking yesterday and cant think straight) there would be a lawsuit against google for providing those directions. I was really hoping I wouldnt have to explain the joke. :p

Well on one hand its very cool. I mean you don't have an oppressive government that you can't even speak out against, or for that matter a society. You can win legal ground, legal freedom, compensation. In a perfect world, its a very important foundation.

But of course it's not a perfect world... and the other side is... it's not so cool when you get sued because of careful legal wording that you didn't have time to overlook, or get screwed over in a ridiculous (not to confuse with rediculous) situation!

Oh boy. Ill keep my humorous observations to myself. Wasnt suppose to turn into a discussion. :p

I think this thread has already gone grossly off topic :P
