T110's Northern Migration

The_Chieftain: It has been an interesting read. Personal commentary follows:   I have three immediate thoughts. 1) Those guys don't know as much about what WG is up to as they think they do. We've actually become relatively good at keeping secrets. 2) I'm glad I didn't jump ship to Obsidian/My as some WG staff did. I was approached more than once. 3) Was disappointed to read of Jinxx getting laid off. I didn't always agree with his thinking, but the man was dedicated to improving the game. He went to The Other Game (there's a fortuitous acronym) with a list of suggestions and player requests he couldn't find traction for with WG and the intent of implementing them. I firmly believe, for example, that AW's artillery mechanic was absolutely his doing as the small alpha/high ROF thing with CB was a large talking point in WoT and something he had been pushing for with no traction at the time. Ditto sixth sense for everyone.     Plus he's an overall nice guy.   That said, I don't think OEI's departure changes anything for us. Sure, we took a look at the game when it came out. I was not the only person to do a write up on things I liked and did not like in the game. But by and large, aside from occasional squabbles over advertising real estate, we basically ignored them put our heads down, and kept focus on WoT. A basic maxim of tactics is to not let the other guy dictate the fight.
