What do you all think this means for our favorite franchise? Could this change go as far to affect P99?

Looks like a bunch of hangers on in the EQ Next department, plenty of dead wood they can shift.

So they are sticking around with this new company then? 'hangers on' is confuzzling me, Master Swish-God

[Swish]

I mean they've been hanging on with some pretty stupid/needless roles... they'll be in for an axe, or have jobs merged.

Can you have a brand manager that directs development? I'd say so. If they need an axe man I'll be happy to help. EQ Next should be going a lot quicker than it has been, I get the feeling everyone has been on a "go slow" to keep milking that cow.

EQ next will be shit, and SOE is a shit company. I would love to see Smedley finally get canned for his incompetence.

[Lisset]

You need a community manager (they help to get buzz) and director of development (depending on their team programming structure) also makes some sense. Omeed, however, is a waste of skin. I expect he'll be the first to go.

[Grimfan]

I don't think omeed has been with them for a while now.

[katrik]

Does this mean that EQNext is canned..? Kind of (not really) interested in it.

Wow you're right. I always found him to be an arrogant douchebag (by all appearances) and was a reason I stopped following EQN. I figured any company that would have him make decisions about a game is about to have a game that sucks.

I'm with Hailto on this one. All my normal porn just doesn't do it for me anymore.

Senior Brand Manager? What does that asshole even do? Does this imply there is a Junior Brand Manager poking around on Facebook all day as well?

Here is to hoping that guys 100k+ salary goes to a new developer

[Portasaurus]

I've met omeed a few times and dude had such a sweet gig. He runs the Dariani consulting group and basically companies just pay him to be a PR shill.

I would love to be a PR shill for a company.

You've got some really solid experience. Really bolster the whole "efucked a server official for pixels" thing and drive home the merciless shaming of competitors of the best p99 raiding guild that has ever been. I think you got it in you. You're on the fast track to 28k/yr dawg, what are you gonna do with all those fat stacks?

;)

[katrik]

28k a year is pretty srs ballin lol

I think I could do it for 28k a year if it was like a forum posting job that I could do at my real job.

You ever hear about these JDIF and Paid Internet Shills that get paid to change debate on a specific subject?

I wish those places had like a website I could apply on because I'd totally be down with it. Give me some talking points and set me loose.

Omeed actually led a campaign to do some really interesting new marketing, but the higher ups ended up not liking it and I think that they decided to part ways with what he was offering. Basically, Omeed decided that he wanted there to be a crew of insiders that had a little more information and were privy to keys for stuff in Landmark, and in turn, those people (streamers) would play/promote Landmark and give away the keys in their channels. This cross promotion was a way to make the marketing of Landmark more community driven rather than actually putting a lot of money into it.

Unfortunately I think that the results he was going for took too long (as in they didn't really happen, and Landmark tanked) but that isn't really his fault, Landmark was never supposed to make them money or hook people in, they didn't even give it enough time to become feature complete.

Since he left, SOE (Daybreak now I guess) moved away from their insider program, but Dave Georgeson has been known to have a crew of insider people still, mostly the really talented builders in Landmark, that he consults with and talks to on developing the game. So technically there's still an insider program, but it doesn't really promote the game anymore. Not that the other one did much to promote it either.
