A Special The Other Side of the Looking Glass - April 2, 2007

Oh noooooo!

I am sad that you are sort of but not really leaving, but if it is something you want to do and are excited about, then I am happy at the same time!

I hope everything works out wonderful for you! At least you will still be a part of the Matrix! =) We will miss you bunches

*hugs*

Oh... my... god.

The moment i saw 'special edition' i knew it was something bad i really did.

First off, words can not describe how much i apprechiate all you've done for this game and it's community Walrus. You should know by now how much we all care for you.

Second, and i'm not going personal here, but i do know this can not be a good thing for the game right now, at least not in the short term, we all know the history there, and i for one know people who will not be happy/staying. That and Walrus is seen as one of the driving forces of the game and community.

I'll just say this: Raij has some BIG shoes to fill and if he doesn't adequently then we're doomed. End of.


Thirdly, does this mean another sig comp? =P

As Yas said, this doesn't inspire hope for MxO's future.  I'm glad you're moving onto bigger and better things, Walrus, it's certainly well deserved.  I wish you well with your 'untitled' but apparently DC-related project. 

It's not to the detriment of Raijinn when I say that is quite a blow.  I will say that you have mighty shoes to fill, Sir. 

Edit: I appreciate your candour in the post above.  I also forgot to wish you good luck also. 

Hey folks, so yeah I understand how some of you feel. Walrus is a great person for the community and he's really been there to help weather the storms that have come up. He's the perverbial rock that's always been there. The good thing is, he's still going to be there in a production role which is pretty darn awesome!

Sure I've made mistakes and I've learned a great deal since being part of the Community Team so I expect to move forward better than before. I'm really in this to help make the MxO community a great place to be, just as Walrus has done in the past. I'm open to listening to your ideas and suggestions and I think we can do some great things with the community.

Oh...that was the other one...

The project I'm on has nothing to do with DC.

Another question. Is it the same game as Frog went to?

That was never announced, only speculated, and apparently, taken on as some sort of 'half-truth' inside the community.

In fact, all the DC overshadow over MxO is speculation and i wish it'd stop. It's tiring to constantly see 'yeah, they only picked up MxO to get their hands on DC' 'yeah, they'll shut MxO down when DC is out' 'yeah, DC will be just like MxO but better'.

Bah.

But on a serious note, Walrus, can I have your stuff?

Well Walrus - i don't know much in light of the mistakes of the past but i've learned the collective failures of this game can't be pinned on one person and to be honest there are plenty of times when it's not all bad. Throw an LET char my way and i still have the tendency to light up like i did the first time i started playing mxo.

I think many people will miss you, and i suppose i want to thank you for the hardwork you did here. The looking glasses were always a cool part of the story - especially back when the game was better- but that means you were here for the good times and bad so i'm greatful for the good times.

Also i think if walrus belives Raijinn up to he job he is, maybe the past shouldn't be forgotten but if you people are willing to let LESIG 2.0 have a fresh beggining you might aswell give it to him.

I hope this new project thing of yours turns out well and i also hope that it's a game i can jump over to some time and get special treatment

Take care Walrus, catch you on the flip side.

As a community, we're all in this together. One of the major things that I see here with the MxO community is that they love the game, what it stands for, and more importantly how much they care for their community. I think it's safe to say that we have one of the most dedicated communities right here in MxO.

I'm glad to see how passionate everyone is about their feelings, yes they do have a place here on the forums as long as it's not flaming, disrupting, or in bad taste.

Remember I'm here to listen to everyone, have some fun, do things for and with the community, but most of all we're in this together so lets make it so that everyone here can have a great time.

-I don't know if this is part of your job, but get Marketing to work on this game a little more, the community feels like we are the unwanted game for SOE just so they could get the rights to the DC MMO, this may be true but if you guys are going to run the game you need to make it more worthwhile for you. It has taken a really long time for MxO to be integrated more and more into the SOE community.

Great to see you around. I haven't seen you for awhile. Last time I remember seeing you was when i bet you 2 to 3 in duels
Maybe a rematch sometime?

Alright I have some suggestions that are in need and overdue and I am sure most of the community agrees with some or all of these.
-Make a guide for the game to put where the faded out Guide button is
-Get the web team to make the pvp rankings based off of CQ for the site that Rarebit was wanting to get done
-More general content for the website this could include more wallpaper, videos, interesting articles and other random website content.
-Get the web team to work on our site more or even at all.
-The always going game Trial that Walrus said we should be getting after the new launchpad is done, which I know it isn't
-The buddy Keys walrus said would be sent out really soon to make up for not having another trial yet.
-Make lots of posts on the Forums and make people feel like they are heard and just talk to us and help promote the community even more.
-I don't know if this is part of your job, but get Marketing to work on this game a little more, the community feels like we are the unwanted game for SOE just so they could get the rights to the DC MMO, this may be true but if you guys are going to run the game you need to make it more worthwhile for you. It has taken a really long time for MxO to be integrated more and more into the SOE community. On the sony sites the random banners and images are mostly fillled with EQ and PS characters and images and slowly MxO images are being thrown in there (Example: http://www.soepress.com/release.asp?i=97 the banner on top of this page) get the game fill more part of the overall SOE community. Also get us some ads on sites, news for big name game sites, maybe even little articles in magazines anything is better than nothing, get us some contests, get the word out about the game!
-There are a ton of more things you could do but I am sure this is enough to get you started

Perhaps...I would enjoy getting in game with the fine folks of the MxO community sometime!

Raij, you're down in San Diego right? SOE Mega HQ? Make Things Happen!

Isn't it a bit late for an April Fool's Day joke?

Well I'm sad to see you leave the limelight Walrus. But I'm thrilled to see you getting your career to the next level you want to achieve.

/WalrusLevelUp

Gratz!

Some things never change....some things do.

We all wish you the best of luck, Walrus.  Your patience and composure have been exemplary!

Does this mean you'll have time to attend the Sexy Redpill contest this Friday? 

Sugaree

/salute to Walrus!

Players> Walrus, what's going on? Why is everybody out of here?

Walrus> C'mon Player, look at your watch. It's coming up on shift change. The bean-counters are worried about overtime so we send everybody back to the free center to punch out. The next shift is going to be here in a minute.

Players> You are so full of sh1t Walrus.

Walrus> Thank you.

I wish you the best of luck, W.
