I hope whoever replaces him does more to address the concerns of the raiding community.

George Scotto maybe? He joined the forums on 9-11. I think his original rank was community relations though it now says SOE Management.

I was worried that some people would misconstrue my clarification that I'm not leaving because of SOE or EQII as the exact opposite. I pointed that out because it's the truth. I am, in fact, leaving for completely personal reasons. If you must know, it is indeed about a girl, who happens to be working on her student teaching in school still (it's my old high school sweetheart).

George Scotto is actually the VP of Customer Service. I'm not sure why he was flagged as Community Relations Manager (I think someone just set him to "Administrator," which gives that rank). I switched him over to SOE Management last night. ;)

As for me having "pro-Blizzard" posts, those are really "pro-Blizzard theory" posts. It's true that I tended to avoid posting about WoW or any other competing MMOs on my blog, because I didn't want to cause any issues. Since I already knew I was going to be leaving SOE soon, and I felt the message communicated in Pardo's keynote was great, I went ahead and commented on it.

Is that really Ryan or do we have a rather decent impersonater.

Yes, it's really me (against my better judgment). I emailed Elleffgee letting him know that I was registering a few minutes ago. ;)

Oh well. Optimism is more fun anyway.

Just further clarifies how much a part of the community you were, instead of just someone who led it.

You filled MG's shoes well and he was a great CM, I only hope that your successor is up to the rather large task of not only running the community but being such a part of it.

Hats off to you for coming here and clarifying something you didn't need to, pretty kickass of you.

I'll always remember that feeling of almost puking while drinking those liquid cocaine shots with you at D&B!!
