Liv's update on the Community Report

[Liv]

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to keep you guys posted on where I'm at with the community report. Overall the report addresses the concerns of those here (AionSource) and other Aion community sites across NA/EU. I have quoted comments, feedback, suggestions and included the results of the various polls (i.e. Does NCsoft care about us?). I have also included a lengthy editorial on how the lack of news has affected the community (particularly morale and excitement for the game).

Today, I met with Aion's Executive Producer, Producer, and Franchise Manager - we discussed the report in great detail. They understand that regardless of what we can/can not say, we must address these concerns. Saying nothing can't be an option right now.

I'm not promising the announcement of a launch date - but I'm trying my best to get more information (something that isn't "we can't tell you anything right now").

Long story short - the report has been seen (and heard). It will take a few days to compile/confirm management's responses but my goal is to have an official update on the website by end-of-day Wednesday.

I'll post again tomorrow to confirm that we're still on track to having an update by Wednesday.

Interesting, we shall see how it pans out.

I would give you a flame retardant flak jacket, but I don't have any, nether would I know how to get it to you.

That said, I don't know if I would play AION or any NCSoft products regardless anymore at this point. Your company has dropped the ball a few too many times to really be worth any serious consideration for the time being.

But its good to see you here. Godspeed right?

Nice, thanks for giving us an update

Let's hope they take some of it on board.

I suppose this may be too little too late for a lot of people. But at least you seem to be making an honest effort Liv. Hopefully something actually comes of this other than some standard corporate mumbo jumbo. Here"s hoping.

avatar works!

Thanks then.

People are really not asking for much. If that same Q4 data and the recent restructuring was presented with a clarification and a confirmation from the localization teams that they are still working on Aion, people would have been ten times more tolerant than the way NCsoft handled it now.

Ty Liv.
Eagerly waiting for the report.

Well Liv, understandably at this point people will be skeptical as to how much this report will really tell us, and naturally a case of 'shooting the messenger' could invariably break out. However, your willingness to try and appease the playerbase, despite the odds, is at the very least refreshing in a sea of shaky second-hand info from third-party sources.

Best of luck in coming up with something that won't exacerbate the negative feelings towards NCSoft further.
