About marketing guy. Yes he dodged any direct question. I can give him the benefit of the doubt that some of the questions was outside his knowledge. But he should know if he or another is the goto man for EU advertising.
I did state my impression of him in the post (reply to GG).
He is definitly one belonging to marketing and would make them proud. Maybe he would even make Captain mako stare in awe for his evade/dodge skill (Not bad for being a pebble).
But yes, not even a direct answer to "are you also in charge of EU marketing or do you have a fellow marketeer(in-crime)/tag-team partner..." was left unanswered.
That made me concerned (and slightly ignored). Oh well he has atleast showed himself, so I'll give him the benefit of doubt until what I see him answer next time. AT the end of the session (long posting session in the thread) he did state that he was surprised of 15 pages so he was going to read them all. If he then answers the questions, well then i'm less worried.

I just left him a note telling him how it is.
If he responds, I'll be pleasantly surprised. But my cynical inner being tells me it'll be same day same black pebble.

Give it time, BP is just on the forums and the thread has turned into a barrage of "Iwant:this/that/everything". Give it a week or so, then we can resort to continuing our lynch mob. The fact that: I quote "NA Market Staff" probably answers your question about whether or not BP can help with our current predicament but I wouldn't bet he can offer any help, not out of lack-of-skill but rather the position is probably non-existent - that is EU Marketing.
It's not hard to conclude at this point in the timeline that that particular area has been void for a long time. My best hope is clutching onto the servers for dear-life.

I haven't been impressed so far but as you say, the thread has become a "I want it NOW!" thread so I can't blame him for needing to wade through the many responses before replying.
My honest feeling is that it's hard to refer us to someone from EU Marketing because it's impossible to refer us to someone who doesn't exist. I think that all that is left next door are some server maintenance guys and Scruffy the janitor.
I spend my days hoping to be proven wrong.

Same here Hornet.
Apperantly there where 1000, so some began in the beginning, some in the middle and some at the end.
The answering did however end too quickly.

They did answer one of my questions:
Well at least I now know they don't like vodka...which means more for me!

Are you seriously suggesting that they knowingly take a loss on distribution to markets that just aren't interested so a few dozen folks can have boxes?|

But this is another nail in the coffin for the EU market. Bill Hicks said this, which is fitting. If you are in marketing, do us all a favour and kill yourself. Sorry for being a bit down, but what else can you say? |
I mean I love White Castle Hamburgers, but every time they try to open one in Montana, it fails within 3 months so they've stopped trying, and now we can only get the frozen storebought version of the burgers. Does this mean I am in the right suggesting that they keep a branch open here anyway despite the horrendous losses each time, or should I be happy that I can at LEAST get the frozen version still?
I'm sure if you send an email to NCSoft asking nicely if you can purchase a box and have it shipped overseas they will be happy to comply. It's a LOT better then demanding they post a huge loss or "lose your business". Your $15 a month is not going to pay for shipping and distribution of a product that has (if I understood what I read in a trade mag about a year ago about CoH in Europe), historically speaking, has _never_ made a profit in your market?
You say CoH is taking a big dump on Europeans? Fine.
Let's bear in mind that Europeans actually dumped on them first by making every attempt to distribute CoX an utter failure.

See I claim that the EU marketting guy has to be a Budgie...a poor, starved, undernourished Budgie that wants to peck out a message for us even if it's only "help need more seed cant go to shops only one left emergency"* but can't because it's too sickly and tired.
*yes he's too ill to think about puncuation.
