I don't know where NCsoft is finding these people, or how they're taking ordinary moderators and community reps and training them to be this good. But only recently has anybody gotten it through to me just how rare and unusual this talent is, to what extent NCsoft has a near monopoly on it. And it's important to both the quality of the game and the quality of the relationship between us customers and you the company, it's the source of an awful lot of the goodwill between us. So again, thank you for making it look so easy that I never appreciated just how unusual and amazing you were being.

Being a community guy in the industry myself, I have to say I agree with you for the most part. All of the community people in the industry that I've had the chance to talk to are typically the most fun, friendly (and in most cases smart) people you will ever meet. That being said however, if you want to see how to truly be "good" at the job, then I always strongly point people here.

I've been here since before I was even in community and to be honest, I've applied things I learned from watching Ex and Lighthouse, Aura, Cricket, and Cuppa Jo and applied to to my own forums and community. While I don't work with a community anywhere near as large as this, I can say that a majority of the success I've had with my players is because of what I learned watching them.

The community people here really are excellent and by god so are the devs, even for just responding to posts as much as they do. It's SO rare in mmo's to have actual DEVELOPERS post more then a handful of times (and not just the community or marketing guys)..and it shouldn't be rare at all in my opinion.

The new site looks fantastic! I love the little animated sketch thing!

Here are two of my favs, both very old.

What's Up Doc?

Bad Doggy!

and Happy Birthday Pangea

Cross-Wire

In Game - with new costume

And by Jomoro Kindred with Original Costume ((along with my hero Technophile))

It was like that movie where everyone wants to be Mr. Black , and no one backs down ‘cause they don’t know who to be afraid of.

Changed the name MMOART Exotics to MMOART Uncut. We just liked the sound and feel of it better. As for MMOART Toons, you'll just have to wait and see. I'm tryna build an empire! MUAHAHAHA!

*cue the Imperial March*

back on track, I LOVE that Circus piece. Just the feel of it is so utterly EVIL!

::bows to Sayterra::

oh, and happy belated birthday.

Perfect Guide Cuppa,

As someone who's been in QA (as a tester and a lead) for about 3 years now, everything she says is spot on. In addition I want to further reinforce what Pandesal6 had to say about crunch time. It's very very important and very very hard work. My first 2 weeks as a tester, I started in crunch time and worked 180 hours over 2 weeks. One Hundred and Eighty Hours. That's roughly 90 hours a week or 12 hours a day, every day for 2 weeks straight.

It burns you out fast.

Now if Cryptic would only call me back about that Producer job...

Those both look incredible! Great job Jomaro!

Go see! New art is up in its very own thread! Enjoy!

Hey folks, I've been on the grind creating more art! Here is just a tiny sneak peek of what's soon to come

Technophile vs. Cross-Wire Sneaky Peaky

Jomaro you teasing little <censored.>

That looks great. I love the colors and lighting. I miss the secondary lighting on the pieces where you don't do it. The little green glow in this one has me excited.

[/ QUOTE ]

The funny thing is, as far as backstory is concerned for CW, the shoulder skulls protect some of his vital components, specifically his energy source. I didn't tell Jomaro this, I just made them green on the character to reflect that so I was VERY happy to see that little effect. Just goes to show how much love he puts into these.

I was waitin for Jomaro to post that....

Even I haven't seen the whole color piece yet!!

(but I've seen the pencils and character inks and I'm not sharing till its all done *hee hee*)

Having seen the pencils for my piece, I would have waited a million years for it. It's worth every dime, nickel and penny.

Keep up the fantastic work.

[/ QUOTE ]

Didn't that take a while to count?

-D

[/ QUOTE ]

I had time and I count fast.

(Disclaimer: I do not condone paying for art with change. It's annoying and honestly, pretty heavy.)

Here is one I threw together. Board sized, and full sized. In case anyone wanted to see them.

FIRST THING: I want the devs to take their time with I7, seriously. Take your time. No rush, get it right, yadda, yadda.

SECOND THING: That said the inmates are getting restless.

SO,

THIRD THING: Like the subject line says, how about a quick Q&A with Positron (like his recent badge thread) where we're allowed to throw out questions and Positron answers as few or as many as he wants. Just friendly, perhaps we sic Clintonian on anyone who trolls (since Happy Fun Taser is out of that business).

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm crazy busy right now, but I'd be happy to answer a few questions, as long as none of them are "when is I7...?"

[/ QUOTE ]

*doh* Edited out my repeat question about costumes

*shakes fist at PowerCrisis*

*AND posi answered it too!*

*shakes fist at PowerCrisis again*
