Heyho everyone!
Title says it all. In two weeks I'm moving on other projects and leavig RoM.US
To be honest, if someone offered me this transfer 6 months ago I would be thrilled about it. But now? I'll just say I learned to like this community and feeling oposite of being happy.
But that's life of Community Manager. We are often moved from one game to another. It's just you never get used to it.
I had a rough start here - can't deny it. Game was in the middle of hacking attack and forum... forum was hell on Earh. Each post I wrote was imediately quoted with 10 negative comments about Frogster, Gameforge, me, team, community, game...
After finally realizing what was going on here I simply couldn't blame anyone for that.
Its been almost a year since I got here and I can say that this is one very special community. In a good way. And this is not sucking up. Its too late for that
Despite the fact we indeed have many trolls on forum - almost all active members of this forum are Endgame players and they simply don't take BS for an answer.
What I want to say is that I learned alot from you. And I honestly hope I earned respect, at least from some of you. I know you all have my respect.
I have to say one big THANK YOU to my team. Without them - I'm nothing.
We had couple of older guys like Yrcanos or Kalvan and we hired several new people like Beren, Moonlight, Salvaje, Kali...
In last 3 years I had many teams but I never saw this level of professionalism anywhere. They are patient, polite, nice and FULL OF knowledge. WHenever I had any question I could rely on them to give me answer. I never had to worry if some announcement from Website will be posted on forum in case I forget (tnx Beren).
They are simply amazing.
I will ask you one last time to join them and try to make this community even more awesome.
GM applications are still opened!
I think you changed your original opinion about Gameforge. For the better. And I honestly want to belive I had a small role in that.
When I got here I promised I will forward all your (good ones) ideas to Product Team and we shall try to see if any of them can be changed.
- We introduced GMs - something you were always asking me for
We will (probably) change Siege Wars time shifts - I got hundreds of mails and PMs about it
We fixed Enchanted Throw - this was the mentioned in first report i sent to my team. It took us only 10 months 
We got rid of hackers and duped items
We fixed support and waiting time on ticket reply is now MAX 48h.
We are organizing Events all the time >> Prizes could be better - I agree. We will work on it.
We are trying to get rid of goldsellers - ok that one time will tell if disabling DIA sale will work or not
We have new Shop Manager who IS listening what you want and is finally offering different items on Shop Promotions. This can still be improved >> I agree
EDIT and P.S.
We might fix 1 Channel on Osha issue before I leave
My replacement will join this community on February 17th. His nickname is Azathor and he is a cool guy. I have no worries and I'm sure you'll get used to each other very fast.
After that I will stay on community with him for 1 more week to make sure entire transfer was smooth. During that time you will start poking him and I'll be here only as support.
On February 24th I will completely remove my access from community and will stay only on #runesofmagic.us IRC channel as spammer/troll.
If i forgot to reply on some mail or if i promised to do something (and I didnt), please send me email on
ivan.tizaj@gameforge.com.
Bleedingbank don't worry. You'll get your prize from We are RoM contest.
There's only one more person I need to mention.
Zidlef! Troll with attitude. Stay same and dont change. Gameforge needs people like you.
And last thing I can say is THANK YOU FOR AWESOME 10 MONTHS!
if you wish to send me to hell or tell me how happy you are that I'm leaving do it
here.
