Where to send the devs a Christmas card or gift?

No sucking up or bribing is going to be involved is it?

Of course, receiving an unsolicited package from someone no one there knows could cause the recipient to call in an EOD team to have the package destroyed.

It's really probably best to just send them an e-card and save the physical gifts for friends and family.

at times, but they have quite famously accepted gift baskets in the past, and at the very least, babs and "some other animator" deserve baskets this year.

That is the right address. Finally took long enough for a commercial enterprise to make it to Internet search engines.

If posts in this thread are deleted, it's because Cryptic/Paragon has a history of keeping their location secret. Unlike Google, they probably don't have security guards at the door of their building, and they probably want to discourage drop-ins, even friendly ones, and especially nasty ones.

When Cryptic first did their own separate corporate web site separate from the NCSoft-run forums/website, they had a Dev blog where they showed pics of the studio and other in-house info. Also, their corporate web site had a physical address on it.

Then, all of a sudden, the address disappeared, and all the in-house blog and pics disappeared as if they want to 'zero themselves out' and 'drop off the grid.' You think they were entering the Federal Witness Protection program.

Meanwhile, Cryptic's address was still Googlable, so, I don't know who they think they were hiding from.

When Paragon split off, they retained Cryptic's crypticness and hid their physical location of their new site from the Web. It was a testament to search-fu prowness to find it anywhere on the 'Net -- the only location was buried deep in NCSoft's corporate HQ web site in flash pages, which are not catalogued by Google. So basically, they're hiding and their own corporate HQ gave them up.

Of course, I found it right away. Google maps Street View showed pics of their building under the corporate logo of the previous owners. Then last year they updated the Street View photos with blurry night pics. I kept sending Google complaints about that. Now, the Street View shows a more recent view of the Paragon store front. And, it sort of looks like David Nakayama is out front making a phone call.

And true to form, there's no signage indicating that it's Paragon Studios.

It's on Google now, there's no putting that Genie back in the bottle.

You don't want over eager players in costume showing up at your door step while you work? I'll suppose Mr NoPants can use it for Halloween or something....

You have to keep the lunatic fringe away from the developers. Both the good people and the bad people, in the lunatic fringe.
