If you guys don't already have high paying technical development jobs, it would be a crying shame if you didn't at least get some new offers. Count me as one who believes Paragon Studios should purchase Mid's or pay you some type of royalty fee for keeping so many of their subscribers around. At this point, even a public acknowledgement would be good. I mean really, no B.S.- I think in many ways Mid's saved this game and added another end-game activity that is one of the greatest mind and number crunching puzzles one could play attached to an MMO. And I say 'play' because it HAS become part of the meta-game that is City of Heroes. All the 'Cow/Free Milk' analogies aside- if Paragon/Cryptic has never emailed you guys personally or hooked you up somehow, I'd say they really need to check on their priorities and get their junk straight. I know I'm much more cut throat personally- if I developed Mid's I'd be charging for the download, or selling it to the game developers for big time money to use as an add-on or in-game interface addition. Just saying- we all appreciate what you guys do, and you definitely should get credit and opportunities where they are deserved. |
If we want to talk seriously about authorizing us as an official build planner and so forth, there's a lot to say there. Sure, it would be nice to be hired on to work fulltime on the game, but (a) it'd have to be full-time, and (b) I'd have to telecommute, since I live in Israel and not to eager to return to the US' receding economy and expensive healthcare. Furthermore, there is something to be said for our veracity and trustworthiness in the fact that unlike the devs, we don't answer to Black Pebble*. *waits a moment in case of lightning* We're only beholden to our idealism, and you don't have to look at our products and wonder whether or not we're holding something back because of PR or marketing.
*= Not actually true. We remain in his good graces, and thus he looks like the other way while GuyPerfect builds things like Sentinel. Thank you, Black Pebble!

Got a Mids suggestion? Want to report a Mids bug?
I've never really thought about it. But if it wasn't for Mids I doubt i'd still be playing.
Good on ye for doing this for free!

It was quite selfish: I wanted the latest version of Mid's to be come out with the Issue release, and I wanted to give other Wiki folk the chance to have a head start chronicling the game development.

Yeah, that I actually remember (thanks for that!). Whether or not that got me in to the subsequent ones, I don't know.

That's good you're at least getting some kind of kudos- although I will still think it's not enough, but we can go on forever about that. In terms of the U.S. - I don't know man- once you have good group benefits from an employer somewhere you don't see the high healthcare, nor care as much. If everyone had to purchase their own there would be riots in the streets because of the costs. But even if you're self employed, I'd have to rethink that statement...|

....I mean I love Israel and everything, but high healthcare costs > chance of stray rockets/missles hitting my house- and I say that as respectfully as I can. It's not exactly the safest place to live. The U.S. at least has oceans between the surrounding nations wanting to bomb us into oblivion- you guys a 15-20ft. fence. Not trying to be a party pooper, just saying.

I'm continually trying to update Mids today. I know he said 'Monday'... but is that 'Monday' in Israel? If so, he's ahead of me by a few hours.... so just maybe... maybe...
