I've yet to see a developer get the balance right between being available for the community and falling into over hype.Bootaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857676039536372689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-23611975478405092492009-06-10T15:34:24.269+01:002009-06-10T15:34:24.269+01:00Geez so where did he go after ToA, sharing a cave ...Geez so where did he go after ToA, sharing a cave with Bin Laden?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-52339744844749700682009-06-09T21:03:13.875+01:002009-06-09T21:03:13.875+01:00Think of all the things he said leading up to laun...Think of all the things he said leading up to launch. Think of all the public backlash he's seen as a result. Methinks he's more focused on doing his job (managing staff and the game) rather than making wild statements about it in the media and on forums that never seem to materialize... :S<br /><br />From what I hear, he doesn't take criticism well. Considering WAR got almost as much heat as AoC for failing to meet expectations, I think he got his fill of negativity.Snafzghttp://snafzg.mmofansites.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-79245598558430545302009-06-09T18:33:23.138+01:002009-06-09T18:33:23.138+01:00I have seen Jeff and Paul, and Matt Shaw(accordin...I have seen Jeff and Paul, and Matt Shaw(accordin to information he's the CTO of Mythic) promoting WAR in Asia so far, but no Mark Jacobs.<br /><br />I'd imagine he reckon it is time for him to step back a bit and let other people be the voice of Warhammer. There are people at the start who thinks Mark being on the boards did more harm than good, reducing community interaction with other devs, arguing with players and so on. So now Mythic got other MMOs to take care, he let other people - people who as one of the trolls claimed "actually work on the game" to continue his work in communicating with the WAR community.Radishlawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-55969615767747103992009-06-09T17:34:00.777+01:002009-06-09T17:34:00.777+01:00I have him chained up in the basement.

I haven't seen him since he was on G4 promoting Land of the Dead.<br /><br />From what I've gathered he's a top guy at Mythic and must be moved from game to game to get out there and promote.Krosusshttp://www.comcast.netnoreply@blogger.com
