Where for art thou, posting devs?

I can believe the theory that there's some concern about openness if not some new restrictions.

That combined with the silly new rule will just discourage community, which is not what you do if you are a long running competitor to a high budget newbie.

Rampant speculation and conjecture! Woooooo! Everyone go crazy!


Unless you're getting paid by Paragon Studios or NCSoft, you have no idea why people aren't posting so much, other than the fact that some of the more vocal have moved on. Nakayama usually posts when he's on his own time, judging by the majority of his postings' time stamps, so perhaps he's got less of that at the moment.

I think the idea of posting something relevant when it's called for is a good idea, and when the leashes come off of those who aren't department heads yet, we'll see different names posting more often. War Witch is too chatty and personable to let the silence go for too long. Her State of the Game will be coming after the Winter Event, most likely, if not by the game Anniversary, which is when it usually happens. I wouldn't worry about a lack of fluff posts. I'd worry more about a lack of informative posts about future content.

Maybe they're just off for the holidays, and some well deserved rest.
But if Arcana is right, I bet Avatea is breathing a great sigh of relief.

...Damn =/

(also, wow, the forum even censor French...I'm impressed.)

Its because there is always someone out there who doesnt like something even when they change it back from what it used to be.

I'm passionate about my City-Of hobby (no, not in the Pocket D sense). But I spend very little of my City-Of time on the forums. And some of the heroes and villains I run around with don't come here at all--among my super pals, I'm almost always the one to fill people in on new announcements on the website or the forums (it's a habit of mine to check the website for news before I log in). And these are people who play almost nightly, people who dream up imaginative story lines for their characters, people who are deeply invested in the game.

The point is, you don't have to care about these forums at all. It doesn't necessarily translate into passion for the game, not for everybody. I don't even feel like the forum community is representative of the community I'm a part of in the game (they feel like two different communities). The forums are often burning up in flames over changes, patches, issues, or booster packs that the in-game community at large seems pleased with.

I don't mean to undermine the value of the forums. There's no better way to have our suggestions heard. But I understand completely if some devs feel very passionate about City-Of, much moreso in fact than these forums. Point is, every time I log in, I see what they've done, what they're doing, hints of where they're going. I'm surrounded by it. It's proof of their passion.
