New WAR Community Manager

[Nic_GOA]

Hello all!

My name is Nic. I would like to announce that I’ll be working with you on Warhammer Online as a Community Manager for GOA.

I am originally from the Netherlands and even though it has been nearly 8 years since I lived there my Dutch is still nearly as fluent as my English. It may be the other way around though.

In my free time I can usually be found playing any of a long list of games, both online as well as single player and whenever I can find the motivation I paint my Lizardmen, High Elf or Tau (boo 40k!) armies.

As an avid gamer and Warhammer enthusiast this job combines some of my hobbies with my passion for clear communication and I look forward to being part of the Warhammer Alliance community!

Kind regards,
Nic

[Amaya]

One step in the right direction.

[Dragonelite]

Go holland nice to see a dutch community manager :D

[Zrawkor]

A (new) community manager? From GOA?!

w00t, I'm shocked! :P


Good to see you! :)

[Magnus_GOA]

Welcome Nic!
Having you on-board is a cause for celebration!

[Aenigma]

Great! Nice to see us Dutch-speakers aren't forgotten by GOA.

Welcome and good luck with your job!

[dasj]

welcome! I hope you can help reading the TONS of feedback =)

[Gainwardrobe]

God damnit Europe needed this, as someone said, one step in the right direction. Communication towards EU players from GOA has sucked thus far.

Hope you enjoy your new Job dude - I'm more than happy about this! :)

[Kutzum]

Hello, welcome.... and good luck! ;)

[Dorctor]

As far as I can tell by your post your an avid Warhammer fan, thus I hope you will be able to forumulate the ideas, opinions and issues brought forward by the EU community and present them in a manner that would get GOA off its arse so they actually provide the high level of service that they are contracted to provide.

edit: Welcome by the way.

[RAH]

Good luck to ya I say!:D

If you could find out why the EU updates seem to be slowing down in comming out would be great.

Well, welkom! :D

[Brinbar]

welcome Nic :D

ROFL, my thoughts exactly. Not in those exact words maybe, but the same idea.

Welcome Nic, hope you've got a thicker skin than your predecessor. You'll need it ;)

[Speaker]

Welcome to the boards Nic!

[Yakattak]

A very good step in the right direction. GOA needs all the help they can get, now all we need is to get Mark Jacobs to post here.

Hello and good luck!

[Passunca]

Welcome...

Does it means I can see some EU Herald updates once in a while?
Because I have this feeling that nothing happens in EU...

[kr0xx]

Indeed :rolleyes:

But.. but... I liked IanC! :(

Everyone's human after all... Come back Ian!

[Rainbowmonkey]

A little too late but I guess it's a good thing to replace IanC

[Gif]

Welcome Nic I hope that you will be able to help my EU brothers so that they may get the same CS that we get here in the states. Hell as bad as it has been for them maybe even better than ours. Oh and BTW I have seen some of those mini's after they are painted up think its quite a neat thing there. Unfortunately I have little to no artistic skill so =( I have to stick with killing Order.

[Palessan]

Welcome yer dutch gitface

[NoneSuch]

[edited]

What you're telling me that those retarded psychopaths who send death threats to people online deserve anything better?

Sorry but I disagree and I'm dissapointed Ian isn't with us, occasionally parts of the community need to be told the truth - he wasn't calling everyone a retard just the jerks who send death threats.

Sadly.. the community don't bother reading and just jump to assumptions with blind nerd rage

[MasamuneSSX]

Hi Nic and welcome to the WHA community!

Nice choice in Warhammer Armies - have you got the Teclis miniture for your HE army?

Anyways, good luck and don't feed the trolls.

[debludklud]

Welkom!

[daskuu]

God damnit Europe needed this, as someone said, one step in the right direction. Communication towards EU players from GOA has sucked thus far.

The only problem is they're just the guys who talk to us on fansites, doesn't necessarily mean GOA will provide a better and/or faster service.

Welcome aboard regardless.

[Choggi]

All this welcome talk is all well and good, but lets cut to the chase.....


Where are the server transfers then?

[Hacienda]

Good luck tbh

Hope they pay you well and you can spin turd into gold.

And to the guys that are saying glad they replaced ianc afaik he still works for GOA just he is no longer posting. (for what its worth I thought he was spot on with the infamous post just it was bad timing and probably not too wise)

Edit: probably came across a bit harsh and ultimately that wasn't intended to the OP welcome to the community!

[Heavenfall]

Hello and welcome.

As a GOA representative, you're kind of starting on square one as GOA is so far behind Mythic when it comes to the service presented.

I hope very much that you can help redeem that situation, but I expect not.

[Mattywoot]

talk about lttp!

[Rictoph]

no no no, Yay for 40k, Boo for Tau!

[Noth]

Hello Nic!
Nice to see you here :) i hope you enjoy your stay.

[psir]

Great to finaly hear something from the European part of Warhammer online! I hope you will be faster to announce news which is very important for the players, such as European server transfers. I know a lot of people who would still be playing Warhammer online if only they had gotten the news about the server transfer at the same time as the Americans did!

[dampunge]

welcome, really nice to see you around here... guess you're going to have some rough days here to begin with but I'm sure you hopefully can sort things out.

[Kazad Karazin]

Hi & welcome Nic :p

Magnus have you told him that sometimes we bite ? ;)

[Riskzero]

Hi & welcome Nic :p

Magnus have you told him that sometimes we bite ? ;)

That doesnt sound right...

Welcome Nic.

[Barbadian]

Thank god, any new management in GOA can be a good thing.

[harkan]

Welcome nic

tbh i wished they would have kept IanC, tbh 1 screwup from the guy who was with us all through beta and helped alot should not have led to him being sacked, heck i wish they just added Nic here so we could have 3 cm's.

prepare for a rough treatment tbh.

Boo for warhammer yay for 40k.

[oxegen]

You've got a lot of work ahead if you want to inspire customer confidence back into GOA. . . .

[Vimes]

Hi Nic, nice to have annother one around ;)

Don´t let yourself get dragged down too much ;)

[Sahrokh]

Welcome aboard Nic.

May your talk be fluent and your ears armored in kevlar! :D




But anyways, I'm glad they replaced that guy that called everyone retarded psychopaths


I call it the "Tseric syndrome". CMs literally lose their soul after being thrown in those mad houses called "forums".

Both him and Tseric were completely right, being sincere / not timing it right does not pay these days though.


As someone like George Orwell said:

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Please tell me this will be the end of "surprise" nerfs or boosts that no one even asked for or wanted. Glad to see someone who's job it is to listen to the actual community and get the game back in right direction.

ROFL, my thoughts exactly. Not in those exact words maybe, but the same idea.

Yes, a lot of Destruction players take their evil characters a bit too seriously and bring their behaviour to the forums! :mrgreen:

Welcome Nic!

Eventually they will fire you.
And we will blame you for all sort of things.
Yesterday probably was the last peaceful day of your life. I hope you enjoyed it to its fullest.
Welcome to the hell. Oh, I mean our friendly Hello Kitty community.

[Vizyon]

Hey, cool! There's a dutchie on board :)

It ain't much if it aint Dutch!

....except when it comes to customer services. A friendly smile is hard to come by here in Holland much less taking care of requests on an agreed deadline. It doesn't happen here...ever. I hope you learned better ways in other places.

Lots o' luck and suc6!

Welcome!

Now if you could help fix the zone locking issue on Burlok you'd be my favourite person this week. :D

i am not european....but welcome from canada enjoy your new job

[itnar]

guy that called everyone retarded psychopaths.


I miss Iain :-(

and he only called the people who were making death threats psychopaths, but I guess a lot of people where making death threats.

[Crovax20]

Cool a a dutch person!

Succes met al die huilende kinderen hier :D

[Foul Being]

Dutchies in the house !
Veel plezier en geluk toegewenst !

[ManiaCCC]

Well..I am a bit sad... don't take me wrong Nic..it's nice to see new face in community and I wish you good luck and everything.. But I will miss IanC. I think he was right man on right place.

Anyway, welcome :) Enjoy your ride...

[Heideggar]

So IainC isn't comming back?

Hurrah for our EU brothers!

Best of luck though ;)

[Ralzar]

But anyways, I'm glad they replaced that guy that called everyone retarded psychopaths.


Did you make death threats? If you didn't, he wasn't talking to you.

It's sad to see IanC go just because he stood up for himself. It wasn't the most diplomatic thing to do perhaps, but I can't fault him for calling out people that make death threats over a video game.

[Lord Tareq]

Welcome, a community manager from the Netherlands no less, that is a combination that can't go wrong. ;) Don't take offence from what people post here, internet brings out the worst in people, unfortunately.

/nodsinagreement

[Evil Jim]

I actually felt sorry for IainC, however after what he said he had to go. Another community manager can only be a good thing for EU, that is assuming GOA are capable of addressing the points Magnus refers to in his other post (cba linking it). The WAR website and Herald in particular have been masterclasses in how not to engratiate your customer base.

[Vellandra]

Lets not turn this thread into the pros and cons of Iain C please. We've had plenty enough of those in the past, and neither group of people is ever going to agree with the other group.

Welcome Nic, I hope you enjoy your time with us! What character classes do you currently play in WAR?

Oh, and booooo 40k, yay Wood Elves!

You poor poor poor poor person, you made the novice mistake of introducing yourself to the community. Its all gonna be downhill from here ;)

And it was on the Irish news a few weeks back that GOA are trying to expand their irish operation in Dublin by roughly 400 late this year/ early next year, are you part of the new blood Nic?

[Rolan The Raw]

Welcome Nic. Be sure to schedule monthly checkups for ulcers after taking this position. ;)

I'm with you, NoneSuch. I have much more respect for Iain now that I know he isn't just some corporate beast of burden/yes man who just stands there and takes it like a man. He stood up against adversity, and I respect that. Customer service representatives and management are NOT there for you to abuse, and anyone who does so brings to surface many, many unsavory 'qualities' about their nature.

[NoneSuch]

Well apart from what I previously said I do welcome any new community manager/developers. IanC did slip up, he shouldn't of said it and he should of probably kept silent and taken the abuse.

I kinda have respect for him for not doing that and saying what needed to be said. Yet I know it's inevitable he was going to go, so oh well welcome nic.

[Arrandor]

A very warm welcome, Nic :)

Now down to business.... when will we get an EU version of the Realm WAR site? :cool:

[s5134195]

Yay for Lizardmen! Boo for Tau! Yay for Nic!

[sataricon]

Yah...welcome & every thing.
Back to business.

When will the EU get their own PTS?

[Ilustriel]

Welcome to the funhouse :p

[danteire]

Guys, can we just let the IanC thing rest, its in the history as they say. Plus we have no idea the extent the harassment reached, we could have seen posts here but what about e-mails, phone calls or tools yelling crap at people at GOA's offices? I dare say IanC probably stood it longer than most of us could.

And lets go easy on Nic in his first few hours with the easy CSR questions:

Cake or Pie?

Which is cuter: puppies or kittens?

Blood for: the Blood God or the Blood God?

[sataricon]

Will for saying to people there is something wrong with you isn't an offense my book.
But wasn't the best thing to say...any way if i was him i would have said worse.

Now...when will the EU get a realm of war...change the stupid flash horror of a web site & get a PTS.
These are things we need to know who is responsible for..mythic or GOA.
the way i see it now is that these are huge issues that most players here are thinking about.

So an explanation at least would be nice for why we don't get the same things that the US players have already which i don't see that this would be hard for you.
Consider it that with this you prove for us that we can count on you as a community manger.

[Alaz]

Welcome, always glad to see another community manager enter the firing range- err I mean forums. :D

Good luck.

[Dray]

Heh.

Wonder how long before this one self-destructs.

[Calavel]

Welcome. Good to see more GOA staff around here, as you may know it has been requested very often.

I also hope you have a thick skin and a sense of humor. Certain Dutch laws may also come in handy after reading these forums all day :rolleyes:

[Nic_GOA]

Thank you all for your warm welcome.

And lets go easy on Nic in his first few hours with the easy CSR questions:

Cake or Pie?

Both (duh)

Which is cuter: puppies or kittens?

Puppies go better with cake, kittens taste better with pie.

Blood for: the Blood God or the Blood God?

Skulls for the skull throne!

On a more serious note we will continue to update you on the matters as more information is made available to us in more appropriate places.

No, let's not. IainC wasn't perfect, but he was honest and verbose, and he shouldn't have (presumably) been fired over the entirely justified response he wrote - this is an internet forum for chrissake. There should be a certain amount of leeway granted, and there are very many people posting here who need to be told to piss off on occasion.

The last thing I desire is another sycophant who prattles to the customers; we need community reps who display personality and can give and take an argument, not, as has been said, mindless yes/no men bound by protocol and middle management.



Cake or Pie?

Which is cuter: puppies or kittens?

Blood for: the Blood God or the Blood God?Drivel. That's the answer to all three.

[Arrandor]

On a more serious note we will continue to update you on the matters as more information is made available to us in more appropriate places.

Sorry to be a little dumb, is this in response to my question re the Realm WAR pages :)

Also what is the (dead) "First Steps" link on the official war pages there for?

[ThereIsNoInnocence]

Hello Nic! What about missing client memory leaks hotfix? When we will get it?

[Calelith]

No, let's not. IainC wasn't perfect, but he was honest and verbose, and he shouldn't have (presumably) been fired over the entirely justified response he wrote - this is an internet forum for chrissake.

Agreed i liked Ian, even more so when he showed he was human by responding to the morons we have on this site.

As for the new guy, i like him he answered those questions well :D.

As for anyone who doesn't like him, im guessing they preffered not having a CM so they had something else to complain about GOA :rolleyes:

[Therion]

I dislike the new guy already, and some answers to what happened to Iain would be nice.

What does he have to do with that? Give the guy a break.

To Nic: Welcome. I hope you know what you're getting into; but aside from that it's just good to have a CM from GOA around.

[Rotblade-WHA]

Guys we'll be watching this one and handing out some strict moderation if people over step the line so keep it polite

I can chose who i can dislike and like, im a big boy now and no amount of claims that im childish or claims to whining will change my mind.

[danteire]

Calling these forums "rough" is like calling World War 2 "a slight disagreement".

Never. Your not getting until the US gets theirs. It looks like we have one, but it's just vaporware.

[Lord Tareq]

No, let's not. IainC wasn't perfect, but he was honest and verbose, and he shouldn't have (presumably) been fired over the entirely justified response he wrote - this is an internet forum for chrissake.

Someone from GOA posted some time ago that Ian is not fired, but simply has been given a different role/assignment/etc.

[Foul Being]

This is good news. It should have been spread.

[Eidle]

This is good news. It should have been spread.

That would require someone from GOA to communicate, without being begged, cajoled, or threatened.
The experience seems to be that this only happen when there is wide scale revolt for non-communication over the things everyone already knows about.

Hopefully it will be a while before "the new guy" adopts the same bunker mentality!

[Durrak]

When we will get these missing hotfixes:

Well I asked my question nicely (a number of times, as have others) and they haven't been answered, I guess Magnus and Nic are v/busy... or we have misunderstood their role, in which case it would be useful to know where we should we direct our day to day questions too, is there an email address or telephone number we can call (primarily for the EU folks, but I guess the same is also true for the other regions)?

[Durrak]

I'm looking forward to first answers to our questions from Nic. I hope it won't happen after the new year.

[Rotblade-WHA]

Honestly guys we all should know by now that the community manager can't just run about willy nilly and answering whatever questions he feels like.

He's monitored and he can't just posts what he wants to. Actually I suspect he has to ask higher ups what he can and cannot say everytime before he posts about ingame issue's.

That's how it's handeld in practically every other company. It's also one of the reasons why mark can post pretty much whatever he likes as he's above such restructions because he's the CEO.

So let's be nice to nic. If he doesn't answer it's not because he doesn't want to or he enjoys torturing the community.

[Arrandor]

I only ask again because Magnus had previously responded to me that the WAR stats were due within the week, which for no fault of his own never materialised. That was four or five weeks ago so I thought I would try for another update, which is what David Petit, the guy in charge of all of the EU community managers directed us to do in his open post to the community, with respect to the community managers role: (http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1106498&postcount=1)

"He will read your contributions, heed your opinions and requests, so do not hesitate to ask him questions or to address him directly. He is here for you and for the regulars of this place."

I completely agree that we should be civil about it and thought I was, but will stop if it is seen as rude or inappropriate. I am at a loss to see what their role is if we can't ask questions though.

[sataricon]

Ok guess we were carried away because as you know not every one in EU is happy...if ever.
But in the main time we like some answers also....these are real issues that we don't like in the game overall & it's affecting our gaming experience so we have to worry about them.

Sadly there is no one else from the so called GOA to ask so we have to turn to the new community manger...i mean who else should we "or can we" talk to anyway.

It's not his fault but the fault of a company that dosn't know how to do the slightest human communication with it CUSTOMERS .

The US players have dates for hot fixes...they know what's the statue if the game..what will change & when.
EU players have NOTHING.
This is not whinn...I'm a customer & have the right to know.
So new CM...bad luck that you ended in this position...i'm really sorry for you.

[xLost]

Kwarktaart,

Hia, and stuff :o

So let's be nice to nic. If he doesn't answer it's not because he doesn't want to or he enjoys torturing the community.

So he basically can't do anything besides praising GOA greatness and great customer service?

If they can't be honest with us and write at least: "Sorry guys we're missing some hotfixes / we didn't update our mainpage / random reason / BUT we will update them asap" then whats the point of new Community Manager? Another mouth to spread propaganda?

Really, some players are more helpful than GOA.

[Rotblade-WHA]

Well of course he can say stuff like that if the people he works for allows it but let's face it, if you're getting payed by mythic/GOA you aren't going to go about bad mouthing the company/saying whatever you feel like about it or else you'll lose your paycheck.

I know people aren't asking that but if he posts something about a patch which in the end doesn't turn out to be accurate people would freak out and blame GOA etc. So he has to be careful on what he posts and probably get permission.

He's doing his job people shouldn't be so tough on him :p

[uaprsf]

Your not related to that goldmember dude are ya?

[Rubino]

With the Heavy Metal Event you get the chance to play the new classes for a week before the general server population - should you get elite INF in the event.

Word on the street is that you can play the new classes only on the Test Server - not the live servers.

As the EU doesn't have a PTS....

No way! :(

[Rubino]

Just noticed also that on the news page the Heavy Metal Event says the event will start on the 17th Nov - yet on the detail page for the event (http://www.war-europe.com/#/specialfeat/?feat=heavymetal&lang=en) it says that the event starts on the 18th Nov.

[Rotblade-WHA]

I'm not sure if this is true but I hear europeans can get on to the american test server ( This is just random rumours I've heard on the forum mind you)

[Rubino]

Our patcher doesn't download testpatch.exe which gives you access.
Google doesn't bring up any references to a download for it alas.

In theory all we need is the testpatch.exe to access the US servers if they allow you to create a new char. Otherwise it won't work as we can't do a char transfer to the US servers.

[Ivanish]

Hi & welcome Nic :p

Magnus have you told him that sometimes we bite ? ;)

Hehe, indeed. Most people here just suck though! ;)

Anyway: Welcome to the madness, Nic! And don't mind the hordes of inbred hicks, they came with the internet. :rolleyes:

Keep us in the loop and we'll be happy.

In theory a PTS might not be too far away??

Not the best time to start in the role, with all the frustrations that are out there at the moment, but hopefully you'll be able to keep everyone up-to-date and make a good name for yourself & GOA. Good luck ;-)

It would be great if we could have more info on the character transfers once you have it...

There are lots of people, including myself, who are really struggling on empty servers and missing out on the heavy metal event. It's also a pain because everyone is on hold why they await the information. This is the final nail in the coffin for activity levels on the low population servers.

getting tired of waiting....3 days left of the sub....releasing heavy metal event instead of fixing the transfers and screw us over even more....mid-week yeah right what year myabe...

[Sundar]

Welcome Nic

Dont listen to them! we are all lovely!

and maybe this is a good time to start your new role, everything so bad it can only get better right? All you have to do is comunicate with us and we'll champion you to the gates of hell :D


btw, IanC had balls, emotion, and knew what he was talking about, I'd rather that than some grinning sycophant agreeing with everything we cried about.
I hope you do well Nic ;)

[Dicehunter]

[Rogoo]

Can we get ANY news about 1.06 on EU servers? The biggest patch so far hits US today and GOA can`t even post few words if there`s any chance we`re gona get it this week. Btw, we really don`t care about patch notes in 5 different languages, don`t mind them plz. Eh, thank You.

What this guy said, x4.

[Solfy]

We're gonna get the patch tomorrow, right ? :|

[Seanpaul]

What this guy said, x4.
easiest thing to do would be translate one line of text along the lines of:

Patch 1.0.6 due on xxx, Patch notes to follow.

I'm sure that wont take too long for all the languages.Then they can go and have a guiness or a crossaint and take their time with the tranny.

[Grondik]

I think it would be nice to get some information when we getting 1.06 patch, as players here stated and im also aware that US are getting theys straights after HEAVY METAL and that the patch also gives players who have completed HEAVY METAL access to the new chars after event.

So from my reading that means we should get the patch applied by tomorrow morning as well.

Good! I can feel your anger. Mythic and GOA are defenseless. Take your typing skills. Strike them down with all of your hatred focussed into a single post, and your journey towards the Dark Side will be complete!

No matter how much humanity evolves over the centuries, in the end, we're still monkeys with just enough decency to not erupt in a litany of gurgling, spitting sounds.

Way to go, Father Nurgle...

[Nic_GOA]

Any updates on the EU having a PTS guys?

You may notice a client patch when you log on today. We just posted this on our website:

Today at 12:45 CET we will deploy a small client update on the patcher to prepare for the soon to arrive test server. You will download a file called 'testpatch.exe'. Please note that if you execute this file you will patch your client to version 1.1 but you won’t be able to connect to the test server because it’s not yet available.

We’ll notify you as soon as the test server is available.

I can't give you any further info for now sorry. But it's coming soon(tm).

Since Nic has been around for a while now and the thread has gone from welcoming him to asking questions about the game, we'll close this now as this thread just isn't the place for that ;)
