Where's the Beef?????????
To quote a very good tv ad pitch lady....... Jeff you didnt disapoint me..... you failed miserably. I expected this kind of slough off message that had little or no meat of the needs of players on UO. Dear god man get some guts and start talking. Seriously.
There is so much you could be talking of to keep players in the loop....
I dont want to hear about uo4e, I dont plan on using it so its a waste of our time... We and I do mean WE of the UO community want results we can SEE.
I have noticed as others here have pointed out we are ether not getting any messaging through Mythic/Bio or we are getting lip service filled with dross.
Why not tell us of changes to get our input.... you might find you have quite a imaginitive group of players who just might surprise you of their prowse in the gamming world.
Your a Franchise Producer as your title is quite plain to see, that means you have some voice and can chat... Well boy this is STRATICS you know our addy and how to log in as it evident by past posts. Get off your duff and come in here and get your arse chewed and beleave you me you deserve a few bites....
Mesanna .......
Bonnie we got alot of people here who are not happy. They are very very tired of the hidden behind the curtain bit that has been status quo. Look back when we both roamed the early lands of Beta and that first year not a day went by without hearing a GM or Dev tell us oops we need fix this sorry folks we need to go down for a repair... try a new shard or go to test center..... You talked to many of them over the years ... wilki comes to mind. Great kid and very good listener to the masses. Draconi, I miss that guy... he always had good input and was one of us... a player who knew the score. GrimmOmen, what can I say about a guy who treated players as his mates and listend to ideas that had merrit and said so. He has given us so much, I for one will sorly miss him and his dedication to UO. The list of past Dev that took the few minutes evry few days or more, to come here and talk goes on in my mind as well those here on Stratics.
But now that line of communication is gone.... except you of course. I know your time is now very very busy but a line or two would be so welcome.
I dont mean to jump down Jeff's throat but the man must learn you can only go so far on your twitter page.... Pfft.
Poo love ya to death but sugarman this lack of honest communication thats worth the player loyalty is needed. Yes they want more for their $ out of them but to be honest in business many do and want that very same thing. I dont care what line your work is you will get this from all of the customers who use/want/need your product.
Shipping of a item is late... do you (a) keep doing what your doing and dont talk to the customer who is waiting for it. OR (b) contact them on a regular basis with even a hello just checking in and the product is processing an is due out by....
I guarantee you if you picked (b) your customers will stick with you. Just because you took out the time to say hello and sorry for the delay.
