Well Blackguard, your were great at your job and best of luck to you in the future. Thanks for letting us really know what went down.

Wow.... we are blessed with BG's appearance...

I do have to say, i was getting quite frustrated last night when I was running my alt through the betrayal quest and damn Guard Black kept ganking me about half the time as I ran thru Peat Bog. *shakes fist meanacingly!*

I didn't post on your eq2players thread because frankly I was at a loss for words. Your departure is going to leave a big hole, and I can only hope that your replacement can continue to keep your positive attitude in spite of all the negativity that must come with the job.

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.

Wow, thanks for posting Blackguard, and for the clearification on the Blizzard posts. Can we expect even more candid opinions at NerfBat now that you are no longer working for SOE? Or are you still bound to them in some way or another.

Jakik · 09-20-2006, 02:53 PM

Im the flower girl. Back off

When I read your post, I thought it was complete BS and wondered why someone in your position would bail, there had to be some type of conflict of interest or something.

The only reason that I would ever quit a job that most people would kill for is for my Highschool ex. Seeing thats your reason makes me know its real. I hope it works out for you, because outta the 100x I tried, it didn't for me

Best of luck to you.
