Your Voice - May
Welcome to our first issue of “Your Voice”, an Anarchy Online community forum get-together where you can ask questions of the developers, and we will then take them to get answered directly! Got a quandary about where the inspiration for a certain mob came from? Maybe you want to know the idea behind an NPC’s origin? Or perhaps you’re just dying for updates on a certain engine update? Ask away!
Now, before we get started, there are some guidelines to follow and some rules that we have to make clear.
On the first of the month, a new thread titled “Your Voice – Month” will be posted in the Community Corner forum. This thread will be open and the community can post questions they want asked of the developers.
You guys/gals/Atrox are able to submit questions from the 1st of the month until 16:00 GMT/12:00 EDT of the 15th of the month. At 16:00 GMT/12:00 EDT, on the 15th, this thread will be closed, and 5 questions will be chosen. As much as we want to be able to bring all of the questions you have asked to the developers, they simply do not have the time to answer every question a player may have.
If we see a question that is being asked repeatedly, we will attempt to get it answered, but please understand that we can only answer so much about certain things!
Once the questions are chosen, we will be contacting the appropriate developers to get them answered! As we get answers we will post them accordingly between the 16th and the end of the month. Once the month has ended, the questions and answers will be moved to a separate thread for all to see and enjoy. Please be sure to visit that thread (once the first wave of question has been answered) before you post, as your question may already have an answer!
On the first of the next month the old thread will be unstickied, a new thread will be created, and the wonderful process will begin all over again!
Please remember that this is a thread where the only things you should be posting are questions that can be answered. While we love snark as much as the next person, we want to have a good pool of legitimate questions for our developers to answer. We mean it when we say we’re going to get these questions answered! We also mean it when we say no mercy to trolls. What you believe is legitimate and what we believe is legitimate may greatly differ, so troll at your own risk. Here’s an example:
Good Question: Hey guys! Can you tell us more about the new engine update?
Bad Question: When r u going to fix the game you n00bs?!?! You suck!1!
It’s pretty clear which questions we like and which we don’t.
We want this to be an enjoyable and connecting experience for our community and developers, but we can’t do it alone. We appreciate your cooperation and hope you enjoy getting answers to some of those burning questions about Anarchy Online!
