We recognize the bugs, and share in the frustration not just from a player standpoint, but also from a developer standpoint. Trust me, most of us wish we could
but at the same time we know it's not possible.

I know of one former Dev that posted on occasion on his personal account. I'm fairly sure he's not the only one that did so.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Overall... i would say that it can end up *financially* in your favour, especially if you enjoy it.
But yes, the *personal free* account is just *ONE* benefit that they get.
*edit* I forgot about the massages that were on offer for staff down in Brighton when that office was more active.

Does that mean Darrin Wade has had lots of "massages" this week from a certain multinational organisation who would have more then enough clout to substitute "kicking in the head" with "massage" in the mainstream media...|

Hyperstrike: Got gnawed on by a Three.
Doctor: Huh?
Hyperstrike: The guys who went after the Nines weren't so lucky...
Doctor: Oh. You tried taking on Arcana again didn't you?
Hyperstrike: (Sheepish) Yeah...
Doctor: DUMB***!!!
Hyperstrike: No arguments there doc.

Yeah, i guess the hospitals can open a new wing and name it after Arcanaville when he becomes a Dev, cause they'll quadruple their profits..lol

On the other hand, if they let me design my own signature character... let's just say there's a lot about the powers system players would learn is possible when I started showing up in Pocket D and stomping on everything in sight. Heck that would almost be worth applying for a job all by itself. I could take on other devs' super-alts in Atlas Park and it would be like watching Green Lanterns duke it out only more colorful. There'd be Kronos Titans summoned to fight Warwalkers and unresistable damage unleashed on unhittable targets while things kept going in and out of phase and clone duplicates made it impossible to figure out the right one to kill while Storm Elementals and Rikti Heavies blotted out the sky. So like if one day you see someone in Atlas going all Brad Pitt in Troy calling out Positron and Zwillinger and then yellow mitos start showing up all around them, it might be because I decided to move to Mountain View. Actually, why Black Scorpion hasn't done this yet I'll never know. "You want to see a decimal point error? Oh, was that supposed to hit for 100? I'm sorry it hit for 10000, my bad. You don't think buffing recharge on pets is overpowered? Well say hello to my 500% recharge Gremlins. Who else has a problem with the powers spreadsheets; show yourselves you cowards." |
All of a sudden, I have this idea of Arcanaville as River Song, from the new DOCTOR WHO series. The current rednames (combined) are the Doctor, who think they're all suave, they know everything, they've got all this cool stuff, and then in she breezes, and just leaves them going, "ummmmmm..."

Indeed. I believe it's more that they cannot post as devs from a personal account, and likely vice versa.
