On the one hand, congrats. Its always good to see a member of the comunity make it big. On the other hand I am dissapointed. Your 'vision' of quit your small guild- join a uber guild to get the best loot is anethma to me. I guess that the eq2 community will have DoN type exp packs that only the uber-raid guilds will be able to enjoy. Content that large protions of the player base will never be able to see, will the rest content is continually made harder becuase of the uber-elites, driving the ner players away.... just like in eq1. *shrug* to bad.

VikodiN · 07-08-2005, 12:10 PM

Good luck Moorgard and Welcome Blackgard ..

Zazt · 07-08-2005, 12:18 PM

It is a fantasy game so I guess leaping from a PR position to Game Design is fair game. Somehow this kind of move doesn't exactly instill confidence. A PR's job is akin to selling snake oil or icecubes to Eskimos but whatever.

SaeriBr · 07-08-2005, 01:08 PM

Half way through your post, I thought you were going to say you were leaving SMILEY

. My heart went into my mouth.

Anyways, congrats to you and BG.

TorpedoEQ · 07-08-2005, 01:51 PM

Best of luck man, keep on keeping on!

NITROX-UANG · 07-08-2005, 06:30 PM

A big congrats to Steve and Ryan!!

:smileyvery-happy:

It's great to see the EQ2 team develop within its own people and continue to have those great values and experiences continue to fuel the adventure and excitement for the entire player community!

HolyAvengerOne · 07-08-2005, 06:37 PM

'Grats to you Moorgard, good luck in your new functions, I'm pretty sure it is a great choice they did, giving you the job SMILEY

As for Blackguard, well, heh, good luck in the jungle, even though its a jungle you're pretty used to at this point SMILEY

Thanks all.

I want to stress again that I'm not going anywhere. Don't expect my post count to drop or the kinds of things I write about to change. I have never been what you'd call a high-volume poster, which I attribute to obsessiveness and compulsion. That is, I tend to write long, detailed posts and then spend an hour or so editing them to make sure they say exactly what I mean them to say. Then, half the time, I delete them anyway. :p

Actually, after taking so much time to Submit Post, those long winded posts end up going poof cuz he got logged out. [Removed for Content]

Gratz to both of ya and don't let the the Stress ^^^ x 4 overwhelm ya either.

P.S. Are we still going to have the pleasure of reading Moorehunter posts?? Now I'm going to be expecting a Blackbook post now and then too. SMILEY

Naggyba · 07-08-2005, 11:30 PM

Congrats Moorgard and Good Luck in your new position. I am sure you will do just as good there, as you have here.Congrats Blackguard on your new position. I'm sure you will do a bangup job here.

Grats to the both of ya....

Pipp · 07-10-2005, 01:34 PM

yes, i'm sure it's been pushed way into the ground.

yes, i'm sure you're sick of hearing it.

yes, i'm sure that i'm not the first person to bring it all back up...

but -- VAK or no, I still love reading your editorials.

------------------------------------

no matter how much sh*t you talk about SOE:

http://web.archive.org/web/20030621133047/www.mobhunter.com/article.jsp?articleid=-442114102

my favorite paragraph:

anyway then Scott Hartsman comes in and is like "so do you have questions, mr. mobhunter guy?" and I'm all like "hell yeah I got questions. how about this one: WHEN ARE YOU GONNA FIX THE [Removed for Content] GAME????" and he was like "bahaha, it's as fixed as you'll ever see it." and I'm like "dude, that is so wrong! what about us monks that you screwed over?" and he's like "dude, that's the first class we finally got right! well second I guess, cuz we got necros almost where we want em again after another nerf or two." that really [Removed for Content] me off, and I said "Scott Hartsman, you are a [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot]!" and he was all like "whatever, l4m3r, u truly suck." what sucks is that I couldn't come up with a good response for that.

memories!

any way, again, grats and good luck!

Wow Congrats on the promotions guys. It's not everyday that we get the positions we want at work. And with the enthusiasm you both have about your new positions, I am sure you will excel with ease.

ThornFeath · 07-11-2005, 06:58 PM

Kudos to you both! Glad to see two more people in this world who have generated being able to do what they love for a living!!!

WOOT!!!

Sin · 07-12-2005, 01:32 AM

Congratulations guys. You're living the dream of must of us gamers *MUAAH!* Great Job SMILEY

There's hope for the rest of us SMILEY

Blackguard · 07-12-2005, 02:35 AM

Again to all who have said kind things, thanks a lot (and to those who have said unkind things, SMILEY

). While my post count may suffer for a little bit as I settle in to my new position (and take on the many responsibilities that Moorgard held), I'll work hard to live up to the expectations created by Moorgard. This will probably be my last post in this thread, but I still appreciate the kind words I've received here, in PMs, and email. Thanks. SMILEY

Draigo · 07-12-2005, 02:36 PM

Can I have your stuff ? seriously grats both

Tar~Palantir · 07-14-2005, 12:08 AM

Congrats to moorgard for being delivered from these forums.

I'll say a Rosary for Blackguard. Heh, grats to you as well.

P.S.-Though it may seem fun to nerf, avoid it.

P.P.S.- Wizards are people too, they need your blessed love!

Enjoy your new jobs and hopefully salary increases!

Geniee · 07-17-2005, 05:33 AM
