[Kuyuk]

wtf do they need so much staff for?

[Kuyuk]

62 staff members to keep a game running thats been in place for 15+ years?

a bit excessive me thinks

not nearly enough in the technical systems.

[Tea & Strumpets]

With that much staff, their payroll must be staggering. (drum tap)

[Kuyuk]

Not nearly enough? How so?

After 15 years, there should be minimal upkeep to it, other than bug fixes, routine server maintenance, overseeing (GM/GHing)..

Not like they're adding any new content..

That sure is alot of people for a game that nobody really plays anymore. I predict that one day there will be more people working on the GS staff then there are players.

Should is the operative word.

[Drew]

Andraste is only an AGM? Hasn't she worked there for like 10 years?

[Hips]

She got demoted a while back.

[Khariz]

She got demoted a while back.

Yup. The other GMs realized she was a cunt too.

[Kuyuk]

I'd be a cunt too if I worked there for 10 years and didnt own the place.


I never had a problem with her, however until this post, I thought she was a he...

[Belnia]

No such thing as too much staff, especially on the Development side.

[Fallen]

lolNilven

This.

[Tolwynn]

As to the perceived excess of staff, perhaps they're starting to factor in for projected attrition before it actually happens?

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

For a game that's open nearly 24 hours a day 7 days a week and has probably millions of lines of code, I wouldn't say they are over staffed. I think you could double that staff and still have shit to do.

And whoever said they aren't adding content is nuts. Fucking up the AG escorts, that's adding content! When they nerf all three mage spell circles at once, that'll be adding content (fuck that day scares the shit out of me).

OOHHH yeah. They are going to get around to nerfing Cone of Lightning sometime, aren't they? Likely the lore review.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

CoL at cap is nerfed enough, IMO. I haven't used it in ages. Bowels it could spark and light the gas, Nelemar you couldn't use it on the water levels (and frankly 908 is a better spell, or 519). I've never hunted elf town at cap, but aren't they lightning critters?

CoL in invasions is useless, because no GM likes to see their invasion destroyed by a rapid fire 518 mage, so they drop in wind witches and shit that reflects, effectively neutralizing that spell (often killing).

I'm trying to remember where I used it most, and frankly all I really remember was warfarers when I was in my 20's.

It is used heavily in OTF. All Ithzir drop to it. I see it used often enough during invasions. Hell, I carry around scrolls with the spell it is so damned useful.

[droit]

CoL is one of the few overpowered wizard spells I don't have a problem with. As far as I'm concerned, there are adequate checks and balances in place for it.

[Tolwynn]

I wonder if some of those checks and balances will be removed as well if the spell is actually nerfed.

Do you honestly believe the lightning wont trigger water or gas if the spell is nerfed? If they stop creatures from rebounding it, is that worth the spell being nerfed? Silly goose. The spell at its base level will likely be able to strike a decent amount of targets. The question is whether he will tie the increase of targets into easy stuff like spell ranks, spell aim, or Elemental Mana control, or hard stuff like MOC, and Air + Water ranks.

Hopefully when they are done with cone of lightning, they'll nerf e-wave and quake and all the other mass spells.

You forgot Tremors!

[Tolwynn]

Why nerf them, and waste perfectly good code? They could just opt to make them for creature use only instead.

[CrystalTears]

Quit giving them ideas! They read these boards too you know! :cry:

[Kuyuk]

Lies, they're not allowed!!!!!
