For those of you who were at the Plummit... and those of you who weren't...

For those who were, it was fantastic seeing many of you again (and meeting others of you for the first time)! Special kudos of course to my fellow Justicites for additional entertainment (dead fish bacon waffles, and yes, you had to be there).

BIG REQUEST: if you didn't turn in the survey things they gave us, please scan them in and send them to the email address we had to send our badge pictures to. They WILL be utilizing that feedback for the next Plummit - let's make sure to keep improving them.

For those who were NOT there (and especially the ones who'd PMd or Tweeted me with requests) - I tried to fulfill as many as I could. Whenever I had the chance, I tried to bring up your questions to the appropriate redname(s) so your concerns could be addressed (sometimes other people asked your questions in the panels, so you you can find those yourself).

But there WILL be another Player Summit (possibly upgraded to HeroCon-hood depending on budget, location, player interest, etc).

So to EVERYONE...

START SAVING NOW. PLEASE.

(I know the vacation time submission thing can be a hassle and a half, but hopefully you can stockpile enough money to be able to swing the trip.)

It was wonderful fun, and I hope to see many more of you there next year!

What sort of questions were they asking in the survey?

D_R, thanks for the question you got answered for me.

Note: I didn't really LIKE the answer. But c'est la vie.

Now if they'll do something about the "We're announcing it 2 weeks from now" penchant they have, maybe I can attend the next one. It's all the last-minute announcement BS that's REALLY irritating.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

How about they give ALL of us a survey? That'd be swell.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

I think I still have mine (I had additional info I wanted to add, so Avatea said I could scan it and send it to her). Let me ask if I can post the 3-page general survey to the forums. No promises on what she'll say.

I think I eated mine.

Wait, no, I actually turned it in to Avatea.

I think I have the stack of panel related ones, but scanning those wouldn't make sense to the folks who weren't at the panels, methinks.

I'd love a survey too.

AND I'd love it even more if they did this sort of thing somewhere in the NON-coastal US. This game has been out there for 7 years and they have NEVER to my knowledge done an event anywhere in the middle part of the US. Do something I can reasonably drive to and I'll be there with bells on. It's WAY past time they showed us middles some serious love.

I see DR/Samuraiko has already gotten the ball rolling, so instead of starting a new thread, I'll just add to hers.

I talked to Zwill to find out about next year & the answer I got was that he couldn't promise that there would be a Pummit in 2012. He did say Paragon Studios very much likes doing an event like this & they would very much like to do one in 2012, but Zwill couldn't PROMISE that there would be one. I don't know why Sam & I have discrepancies in our information.

I also found out from Zwill that 3 months notice was the longest notice he thought he'd be able to give.

As TJ mentioned above, Zwill also said that a different time was being considered, possibly summer.

I'm not sure if this is something Zwill said or if I heard it from Brian Clayton during the opening session, but an event like this, with the presence of such a large number of the developers in attendance ,was pretty much only going to happen here in the Bay Area. That makes sense to me when I consider how many of the development team showed up. (Maybe as many as 40?) Can you imagine the expense & especially the hit to productivity if Paragon Studios sent so many people anywhere else? I think Paragon Studios events outside the Bay Area will be limited to Meet & Greet style events.

It's not that they hate you, or don't care about your loyalty, or think you're any less deserving a fan, it's just that it's not feasible for the kind of event that happend this last weekend to take place anywhere else.

So... like the awesome videographer said, start saving up if you think you'd like to come on out. If this thing happens you'll probably get no more than 3 month's notice. It might happen sometime during the summer. (So pack your shorts & your windbreaker, microclimates don't ya know?)

Actually, that might be something we'd want to discuss to help with planning. When would it be best for you for the potential 2012 Pummit to be held? Summer? Keep it in the Fall, but earlier? Obviously it's not going tobe the same for everyone, but maybe we can help out by providing trend info?

Well next year will most likely be out of the question for me anyways...going to have double-jaw surgery sometime next year (Feb./March?) and have to take at least 14 days off of work for that...so there goes the vacation days I'm saving up


To be honest though, I don't think I'd fly and stay a night (or two) just to go to something like this. Sure it'd be neat to meet the devs (and Zwill/Avatea/etc!) but...it's not like I'd have any important questions besides, "When will we be able to color customize Hasten and/or Super Speed?!"
