Are we the red-headed step forum?

abracadabra · 27th February 2008, 01:37 PM

How can UO Forums attract more attention and interaction from EA Mythic? It's truly appreciated when anyone like Jeremy, Chrissay, and Cathat, Leurocian would post their thoughts on this site. Did you notice a new member, KilandraEAMythic posted on Stratics today? *Just feeling a bit like a red headed step child today*

If there are enough community members posting here, it'll attract more Devs for feedbacks. Stratics benefited from the closing of the MyUO forums.

look at it this way as i take a quote from devils advocate

John Milton: Look at me - underestimated from Day One. You'd never think I was a master of the universe, now, would you? they never see me coming im always around

thats us baby master of the universe

i like the way you think kingtony

I imagine that stratics has an edge, in part, due to the gameplay info on UO. This being in contrast to the UO player guide. *thumbs down* Stratics saved EA Mythic a lot of time and pain...

Quality over quantity

You guys rock

I personally could never really get into stratics. It was always too much trolling for my tastes and a lot of their user guides were outdated. This may have changed, I haven't played UO in a while or looked there lately.

What I like about UOF best though is the trolling is kept to a minimum and we have a great community here. Everyone is helpful for the most part and respectful. Pluses in my book!

I knew Baja felt empty for a reason... *sniffle*

Oh and btw GRAG! what's with the search engines on stratics??!!! *blank stare*

I always invite new UO developers/staff to UOForums when they first make an appearance on Stratics, but they rarely, or never post, so I asked Jeremy this question, several times

Quote:

How come EA reps (uo team in general) don't post much, or at all, on UOForums?

I often see requests for feedback on specific items, like events, new changes, designs etc, yet nothing is cross posted on uoforums

We even tried setting up a dedicated feedback area for you guys, but not a single dev even read that area, or posted in it, so we deleted it…heh

I know stratics has the major traffic for UO posters and was told by Wilki that was pretty much the main reason they don’t' post on UOForums.

What's your thoughts?

The answer was

Quote:

That’s pretty much the reason – right now I have beta forums as well as public forums, and posts I put on U.Hall are going to get many more eyes than on any other site. To be perfectly honest, I don’t have anything like the time needed to keep up with other sites – yours, Flutter’s, or anyone else’s. It’s not a judgment, it’s a numbers game. Also, as time goes by you’ll see more and more stuff getting posted on the Herald and NOT on any forums – again, for time reasons.

So, it's not going to change
The part I bolded is also ironic, because Jeremy stated that she wouldn't use stratics solely for feedback, but the UOHerald home page, so if we "caught" her doing that, we were to poke her a reminder, which one of our MODS did, but we got this rather ..negative response

Quote:

(And, btw? Your reporters making smartass remarks every time I post on stratics? Not ok. I am going to continue to participate in threads there – there is no changing that.)

So, I don't bother raising the issue with her anymore if that's going to be her attitude.

I did get in contact with Bob, the new community director, who said he'd arrange for our forum to be used for feedback on the valentines event...which as you can see, didn't happen
So he then said we'd get feedback requests after the first scavenger hunt events, which again, never happened

So, I don't bother inviting EA devs here anymore, because it's pointless.

Anyone else is welcome to though.
