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

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

(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.
