First Post after an insect!
Edit: This is my first anniversary event here. It does seem like everyone is loving this! Since this is the year of both ED and Inventions, is it being treated with extra delight, or are all the anniversaries this big of a deal?
Thanks, Cricket, for checking in! We love ya!
Second post?
Thanks for the Birthday Post, Cricket!

Hey, Cricket, I notice that you were involved with Exteel as well.
What's happening with that product? The closed beta tested ended in January, and it was *supposed* to go to open beta a few weeks later. But there's not been any new information since, at least not that I can find.
I eated it.
I have pie though.
Where is my three year and 1 day reward. I need it so I can complain about it.

What flavor? And is it heroic pie?

It's invincible pie, and it tastes like burning.
Not sure if that's the right thing to celebrate 3 years with or not...

Yay Cricket(te)!
*huggles da insect*
Now where's my giant robot SMASHy goodness? Are you folks completely redesigning Exteel before it goes into open beta here?

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Yay for Cricket!!!!!!
nice to hear from you.
at least you didn't give us the cold sholder like Cuppajo did 
I can say that open beta for Exteel has not yet begun nor have the invites been sent out for it yet. We're going to post something for the public (on the website) as soon as we have some specifics to provide.
Exteel is currently under an NDA (which has nothing to do with the OB delay, btw) so please remember that is all I can say to those who were not Exteel closed beta testers.
Cricket!! How we have missed your mighty ban stick
I am glad things are going well for you in those other games, I would have loved to get into testing for some of them but my luck didnt swing that way.
Ya don't have to be a stranger ya know!
Take care and have fun

I know that, ya silly bug! 
I was asking more of a rhetorical question, as I quite enjoyed closed beta and, well, who doesn't dig giant robots?
*wishes they had better giant robots here*
Hmm ... Year 4 maybe?

This is true and it's one of the highlights of this game, to me anyway.
That being said, i want more options now. I've used everything 10 times over already.
Yes i'm being greedy!
Happy Monday, everyone! Im looking out my office window here at NCsoft - holy cow. It is looking more like 10PM instead of 1PM. Come back on out, day star.
But I digress. I came here to talk about COH! It is true; it has been three years. I remember the day we launched the day badges were introduced .the day the Terra Volta Trial went live. (Now that day was a long day!) On and on it goes - the memories just start rolling, one after another.
Yet, oddly enough, COH still feels like it was brand new game. Oh, how time flies. But COH isnt new, and I have to remind myself that. In reality it has become well established, pushing out update after update. It isnt until I look back and mentally review all of the previous changes do I see exactly how much content has been added. I just never would have guessed that we would see all these amazing changes! To this day, I still think that COH/COV fills a void in the MMO market that other MMOs just havent caught on to. (Can anyone say they have come up with a better character creation system? I think not!) Perhaps this is why it still feels brand new to me. COH could very well be the leader in originality.
For those that have wondered, I am well...Im just busy with my current games these days! I love my games, so I'm really trying to hold back here and not ask you all to come play them. *twitches* But I didn't come back to try to steal you all :P The great thing is some of you guys DO play some of the games I currently work on, and don't think I don't notice!
Sometimes people ask me if Im still in touch with Cuppa. You betcha. We do work in the same building, and I like our talks. I always wanted to get her a "I Survived ED" t-shirt.
Yep, COH is still a baby. I think that is the year when molars start to come in. Teething is no fun, but at least the terrible twos are over.
*Runs for the hills*
Happy 3 years, COH. I only wish I could have posted this over the weekend. I think the internet gods were angry at me!
