I want to play a game.

So.. as you all know, this year's players council is almost over, and they will start looking for a new council soonish (I have no details on exact time). I know the PC has been discussed over and over.. some still think it was a mega failure.. while others regret not applying.

So my question to you is.. who would you like to see on the next year's PC.. and what changes would you like to see in how the PC is utilized?

When even Fran saw that the council was a waste of time, why would anyone else bother?

Let me answer your query with some sincere questions of my own.

As a PC member, do you feel that the PC concept worked as it was intended?  Ie. Was the program a success in your opinion?
Do you personally feel you made a difference and that the time you invested in the PC was well spent?

Anyone on the PC is welcome to respond - might be interesting to see how different members perceived it.

Can you be more specific about this?

I personally see this whole idea as a huge fail and I really wish that Lamania would be more involved and players had some intiative to test things out and give a feedback. But what was the point last year. You sacrifice your free time on a test server, bug report everything and give some reasonable feedback just to see everything go live.

You are almost done, break NDA What I wanted to know were the specific ideas that devs came with and how much these ideas got changed. How much the PC was effective.

What I still cannot uderstand is why they don't have at least small team of people or even players that are willing to do it (and I think they could certainly find some) who will beta test for them so we won't see that extreme crap coming to live that need 20 patches to become somehow ok.

Without breaking NDA : All the Items you saw for U22 to 24 on Lamania were the 3rd or 4th instance of the items.
( yes I know, some of them still sucked... Turbine listen when they want to listen, the rest of the time they brush us aside )

It's the same for the Enhancement Trees.

As for what was stopped by the PC... you'll have to rely on hearsay.

Yeah. How do you think they've 'fixed' double login. I hope they gave at least some credits to that poor guy.

They would have to pay me to get into PC. And even then, the salary should be tempting.

Yes! All in just one forum AND game server. And they should be restricted to that single forum and game server!

I know something you don't - but I can't say it yet.

Haha! Giggles and stuff. Still - better than, "you mess with me, and I'm telling Cordo!"


To Thaz: As much as I detest your wannabe-troll-to-save-face image - I'd have to vote just doing away with the PC. At least Turbine can't place the blame on the PC (even if it's your fault - can't be verified because of NDA, blahblahblah). The selection criteria is stupid (proof: Fran got in), and I do believe that the friend of the guy in some post up there had a much better idea regarding the council. It would have been much better to put up official forums/polls on the topic AND HAVE THE GOOD IDEAS VOTED ON AND IMPLEMENTED.

That said, I hope that Rodrak can play again.

Interesting reply. Did you even bother reading and understanding what I wrote, or did your barcelot-ness just kick in and reverted you to Thaz form?

PC is crap and they cant do anything.
