Love letter to Domino

valkry · 07-10-2007, 02:22 PM

Domino, Merci très tellement. Vous êtes un amoung Devs de déesse. (Trans: Thank you very so much. You are a goddess amoung Devs.)

I just saw the pic of the new furniture. Two stoves, a real loveseat, actual breadpans & muffintins fresh from the ovens... /swoon.

Thank you so much for the love and care you have shown to the Norrathian homeowners since you have become our Dev. It is appriciated so much more then we could ever express.

Amethest · 07-10-2007, 03:24 PM

domino major props to you, thanks for making a housing junkie even happier... SMILEY

Spyrit · 07-10-2007, 08:34 PM

/agree

Domino talks to the players ....

Domino LISTENS to the players ....

Domino gets stuff done!!!!!

I have 5 lvl 70 crafters, my first was a Carpenter. I have 3 homes one in each city (Qeynos, Neriak and Freeport) but over the last year they have been sadly neglected. There was nothing new, no reason to work on them at all, you can only shuffle rooms around so many times.

What a difference a few months makes. I know you are working on a lot more than just new furniture items but if the work you have done there is any indication of what the future holds, bring on RoK.

Thanks Domino.

Ndawi · 07-10-2007, 10:27 PM

Three (muffin tins full of) cheers for Domino! Hip, hip, hooray! We can feel the love, and we appreciate you! Thank you for all you've done, and are doing, for us ... from the bottom of our tradeskillers' hearts!

Zindicatt · 07-12-2007, 11:23 AM

domino is my goddess! /worship

Galldora · 07-12-2007, 11:56 AM

Domino has made me VERY HAPPY too, with all this love for crafters. Domino, you are such a HUGE part of the crafting community, and things are just so different now. There was a time when a player would post a question here that really needed an answer from a developer, but rarely would there be any response. It just seemed like a big void out there in SOE land. Your participation in the forums makes a huge difference, because we know what's going on, and you listen to our suggestions and even give them serious consideration. SMILEY

As for all the new house items, I am so thrilled! This has really reignited my enthusiasm for leveling my carpenter and decorating my houses. I'm very excited about the next GU, and also about the upcoming expansion. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Raven_Ancient · 07-12-2007, 02:50 PM

Overenthusiastic WHEEEEEEEE. Indeed fantastic work Domino and potential others working behind the scenes. Both for the carpenter recipes and the upcoming overall Tradeskill changes such as the exp from writs etc. Only complaint I have is I'm running out of space/item count for all these great house items (don't stop the love though). SMILEY

Once again WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

illaria · 07-12-2007, 03:22 PM

Incredible work Domino, I am another appreciative carpenter and obsessive home decorator

Off · 07-12-2007, 04:01 PM

/bows to Domino Keep up the good work Domino, you really are appreciated by the community SMILEY

Birkenstocky · 07-31-2007, 09:29 PM

Domino you absolutely have put all our past GM's to shame, not only are you giving us variety you have worked on fixing bugs, typos and the like. Thank you so much for the new content and please don't quit SOE anytime soon!

Wookin · 08-01-2007, 10:09 AM

Domino for President!!!!

I love the new plants and the new loveseat is fab! All the new recipes rock! Hurray for carpenter/decorator love!!!

Jesdyr · 08-01-2007, 12:09 PM

Me too !!

AnAnimatedcorpse · 08-01-2007, 09:43 PM

Domino has rekindled my decorating hobby! Hurray Domino!

HemoragiK · 08-02-2007, 02:17 AM

Love, baby! Although I have only been a carp for a short period of time, you have given me absolute pleasure in my craft. Semper Fidelis! Props to an awesome dev!

Lisabethy · 08-02-2007, 06:44 AM

Definitely a thank you to Domino SMILEY I'm totally addicted to house decorating again --something that I loved before however, I had gotten bored.

The new items have rekindled one of my favorite items and I look forward to seeing what's next ! Oh, and I'm a house junkie again. One 5-room in Qeynos, 2 5-rooms in Neriak, 1 1-room in Neriak, 1 2-room in Freeport. *grin* You listening and adding your creative touches to development have made so many fall in love with the game all over again ~~

Hi, my name is Lisabethy and I'm addicted to decorating.

Totally off topic, as I have already declared my undying love for Domino.

Is anyone else disturbed by Hemo's forum sig?

As hard as I try I cannot look away. lol ......

Ahahaha! That's the late, great Chris Farley from a Saturday Night Live skit he and Patrick Swayze did. They were both male strippers. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. I can't remember the particulars, but there was another skit where someone was talking to the audience and Chris Farley comes out behind the person, turns around and bends over pick something up off a table or something. The thing is he was only wearing a U.S. flag thong. Bahahahaha! Man, he was a great comedian.

Qaeadyen · 08-05-2007, 03:04 PM

I also wanted to say thank you Domino for taking the time to make all of us homeowners even happier! I have been playing this game since its launch and just recently got addicted to decking out my home. I've really had alot of fun doing it and look forward to "renovations" i will be doing in the future. Keep the new items coming!

kaokhaai · 08-06-2007, 09:02 PM

/target Domino /cookie (or /pie, if you prefer)

Alakash · 08-10-2007, 02:46 AM

Well given she has confessed to being a stout one, I would think pie would be the go. And perhaps some jum jum juice to wash it down. Although not a carpenter myself, I have heard the horror of the carpenter. Keep up the good work *goes back to his scrollcraft* - Arrhem

Zindicatt · 08-10-2007, 06:05 PM

Dear Domino,

A few weeks ago, I asked for some cool features for Halloween, including ability to hang pictures crooked. And then when I logged back in to test a couple weeks ago, I found that this feature was there! Wow, either this is a great coincidence or SoE read my mind! I am so excited to see this feature. I already created a house to use that feature! Please come to 3 Walks of Dead under "Flipsy" to see. And I posted some screenshots in this forum as well. Please pass my heartfelt thanks to whoever that listened and implemented this feature! You've made many customers very happy I am sure! And you have continued to create new improvements that make the game more and more addicting. Good job guys!

- A very happy player

Domino · 08-10-2007, 06:40 PM

I saw the screenshots and I have to say they look fantastic - well done! I wish I could take any sort of credit for the house placement changes but that all goes to Rothgar, who's added the rotation ability as well as all sorts of other nice stuff. He's rapidly becoming my housing hero. Yay Rothgar! SMILEY

PS - pie OR cookies? What is this word "or"? /puzzle

Thanks so much Domino. You have done so much for all of us. I hope SOE takes notice of what you have done for us. Thanks and please keep up the good work.

OK, you can have both, but you'll have to share with Rothgar then SMILEY

Why do we love thee ......

Domino, go and grab him/her by the scruff of the neck and drag him/her over here into the forums, we want to say thanks!

On a serious note; SOE should openly encourage forum participation by the Devs. I have seem an increase in Dev posts lately and I think you have had an influence on that. When you look back at many of the posts screaming about game changes a lot of the time it is because we do not know what is going on. You talk and listen to the community. We might not like all of the changes you make (rare drop rate free fall) but at least you keep us informed and that is why we love you SMILEY

Verdyn · 08-13-2007, 03:21 PM

Domino is awesome - she actually GETS IT!

Imagine... people incredibly happy with a dev because she not only listens to what the people want, but works to get it for them... what a novel concept!

Three cheers for Domino, you're the best! SMILEY

Rothgar · 08-13-2007, 07:55 PM

Thanks for the kind words. SMILEY

Domino already has us spoiled by bringing cookies into work every couple of weeks. SMILEY

On the subject of house item placement... If you guys are having any issues now that items can be floated, let me know. I realize it might be unintuitive to someone who wasn't aware that items can be placed in the air now. If an item is floating, and you attempt to move it, it will remain in the air unless you hold control and scroll the mousewheel down to make it snap onto the floor again.

Is that only on Test or Live, too, now? Last week was a blur, I was sick coming home from Fan Faire. Oh and that's really nice of Domino (and a good way to get the art assets worked on *chuckle*)

Spyrit · 08-13-2007, 09:44 PM

/thanks Rothgar

Did Domino actually grab you by the scruff of the neck? SMILEY

Thanks for stopping by, we love to here from you guys.

We don't really care if you have nothing to say, just say "Hi" every now and then so us insecure tradeskillers and house junkies know you are watching over us.

and btw if you want to be more loved than Domino post a few peices of "leaked" info on new house items or even Guild Halls, we will not tell anyone, promise. SMILEY
