Overlord's Farewell
Дата: 25.09.2012 19:27:34
Overlord: Hello fellow tankers,
I have been around on World of Tanks EU forums for more than two years now (27+ months all in all). With different rates of activity at different stages I have been trying to serve as effective communicator, facilitator, mentor, and feedback provider. To some extent EU advocate as well.
This left me with nearly 10.000 active posts on my account; unfortunately I’m now unlikely to reach that milestone.
Initially I joined as community manager, later switched to game design continuing my work on the project on the dev side of things which allowed me to substantially (I believe) increase the quality of information I supplied. Approximately at that time, after the EU/NA region split, I finally dumped NA in favour of EU side. Timezones, closer mentality, more players,and other stuff.
In February 2012 I eventually joined World of Warplanes team to assist in building the 2nd major project at WG.net. At that time World of Tanks has already been established properly and when I was needed elsewhere, I could not refuse. Naturally this transition limited the time I could spend on World of Tanks as a project in general, and forum in particular, and to be honest, it limited my time dramatically on everything else as well.
Up until now I have been trying to keep up with the pace, occasionally finding time for you here; however, at this point I have realized that I can't do it effectively any more. I cannot maintain my personal standard of quality neither in terms of knowledge (not working on the project anymore), nor in terms of time (timely feedback is a must), thus I have decided to quit officially.
It has been my great pleasure to work spend all this time with your, guys. Hopefully, you enjoyed it at least 10 times less than I did – that’s enough to satisfy me. Thanks for being concerned, asking, raging, commenting, proving, joking, trolling, arguing, posting..
I won’t be gone in oblivion from now on and might appear here or there from time to time, still the best way to reach me is visit the blog (Welcome!)
PS: Let this great topic live!
