Letter For Developers On The Matrix And Sony

I think you've got:

Rarebit - development (content & storyline)

Dracomet - development (content)

9mmfu - development (QA tester)

Brewko - evil game staker and official owner of ban hammer

Moonlite - Customer Service

Virrago - Customer Relations

There the staff that deal specifically with the game, I know we have a number of the tech guys who pop in every now and again but they bounce around all of the games really.

Have I missed someone? Someone scream "ME DAMMIT!" if I have...

Brewko and Moonlite definitely don't count. Neither does Virrago if we're talking about Devs.

Oh in terms of just devs, then no obviously. I was simply listing the staff that I know work on the game and their roles (generally) in relation to it.

No, that's right (one of the first things they told us on my uni course)

I'v heard that our subscription money is going to SoE and not actually MxO, so that means even if we did get more subs, we're just gonna be fundin the likes of SWG or EQ etc
MxO has some amazin potential, just wish SoE could see it like that though. We're gonna lose a bit of subs to AoC so somethin is gonna need to be done to keep them here...
SoE pull u'r fingers out your asses and advertise for the game...
All subs for all SoE games go to SoE which then gets divvied up where they see fit to distribute it.

BURN!!!

It's simple when you think about it, really!

Fixed

Further fixed... they can advertise and promote this all they want, but unless they keep improving the game, peeps won't stick with it. This is why games are developed FIRST, and then released. SOE seems to miss that part where you have to invest in a business in order to make it grow. Or maybe they just figure the buyout money WAS their investment. In any case, all those people i see trying the game out for a few weeks and leaving aren't doing so because of a lack of PR.

Yeah, but this goes in a circle if you know what I mean. "More devs = Improved Content": They need money for that, and they can get money from the players. But advertising also requires money, so to get more players (and therefore more money) they need to spend money. And they dont have enough for that.
