Hey bud, what happened is, the person who attended from eq2flames left the site shortly after the Summit ended. She submitted some questions informally, as a favor, and hasn't received a reply yet. I'm still hopeful we'll be able to get a reply to some of them, however.

I think a lot of good that came from the Summit includes some of our increased dev presence on this site. Perhaps you've seen some of the great info recently posted by some of the devs. We really hope that trend will continue, and all users will welcome the devs who choose to post here to the maximum extent possible. Hopefully that is another way we can continue voicing our desires and concerns about this game that most of us seem to really still care about. I care, and have greater confidence in the game, based on some of the recent responses I've seen, than I've had during the past two years.

Thanks

That's exactly right, LFG. And I hadn't posted because I really didn't have any news. I hadn't heard back from Gallenite yet, and I didn't want to bug him 'cause hey, nagging doesn't generate good feelings, lol.

Gallenite contacted me today. What happened is my e-mail with questions got sucked up by a filter and he just found it. I confirmed that the questions were still pertinant (except the Server Merger question, which he answered on this forum shortly after Summit) and he's going to get some answers for us.

I gotta say, if you ever get the opportunity to meet Gallenite in person do so, he's a really great guy. Shoot, I don't think there's anyone I met from SoE who wasn't totally enthusiastic about their job and SoE as a whole. There are a lot of happy people there. That gave me renewed faith in the game, more than anything else.

Why haven't I done a Summit writeup? Well, since it wasn't a developer Summit, there wasn't a lot of direct info for players. SoE got some great feedback on community issues, but all the developer chats were very informal (ie: we were at dinner or imbibing alcohol!) and I really didn't want to muck up any info. You know I hate misinformation.

If you want really great Summit write ups, check out Coyote and RadarX's reports over at Ten Ton Hammer. Coyote pretty much gives a blow-by-blow, with pictures. Good stuff.

So, I'm sorry for leaving y'all hanging.

I agree, he is a very cool guy in person. When I saw him, first thing I thought of was "hey, that's a wood elf."

OMG, me too! Except this was a wood elf in a leather jacket. Hawt!

OMG, did I say that out loud?
