 . Hope you had a good vacation. Are you in the Netherlands now?It must be a good feeling to finally be able to speak for yourself without having the weight of Blizzard on your every word. Thank you for the StarCraft events you organized while at Blizzard. I'm sure everyone in the community either enjoyed them, or REALLY enjoyed them . Your large tournaments were a rare opportunity for non-korean gamers to compete against professional korean players. And the map-making competition gave multiple people an unprecedented opportunity to see one of their own works out in the world.I hope you find your new job to be satisfying and enjoyable.  | ||

I already know that a bit further down the road, there will be some exciting opportunities to get involved with the SC community again in that position. I can’t wait for the day. the inevitable sc 2 teaser? eh? eh!?! anyways i read every word in that post it was very informative, it's really something to hear from someone who worked on, as mani put it, the "other side of the fence". we do have some great people doing things for sc but for most of us up till now the events put on by blizzard weren't attributable to faces or individuals, and that might explain a bit of our incessant "more! more!" attitude as opposed to an appreciating, understanding attitude. reading your post allows us to see the individuals and the "faces" behind the works of blizzard and i think that makes it much more significant and humanized. it was already greatly appreciated by the older, mature members of our community but i think still many of us only had the impersonal logo of Blizzard to thank for those events. now that is different, many of us are seeing the behind the scenes real people who made those events possible, and you warriors of blizzard join the hall of fame next to all of our other awesome sc powerhouses. thanks! | ||

Although I realize very few people will care to read this far into a post that’s way too long, but seriously… thank you to all of you guys at TL.net and in the community. Hahah no man I think with what you wrote, noone could stop reading before the end of the message. I didn't know officially you were working at blizzard but thats what I read between the lines something like a year ago. I know there will always be people whining about "you dont care about us" but seriously Blizzard did improve their communication ALOT during the last years. I think the major turning point was 1.8 when replays came and then people though that would be the point when blizzard give up on bw. But blizzard did a lot after. And even if the simple gamer couldn't always feel how blizzard cared, when you work on a blizzard fan site, you know they care. You receive the betas, you receive a starcraft novel book... what makes it exeptional in how dedicated blizzard is. Blizzard don't go bragging about how good they are in PR, they just do it, they take care about updating the games. there is a similar situation by the structure of the feedback. When you work as a DJ you get people who are never satisfied and want specifics songs. Those who are happy, they just dance, they are usually the majority but they dont come to tell you good job, they show it to you they enjoy by dancing. The one guy who is unhappy that night will come over again and again to tell you you are working bad, you are a bad personn, noone likes you etc... I know its easier when you face the complain directly than over internet because you can shut him down. But usually the easiest way is just to say "ok ill play your song" and you dont play it. You write it down on a paper and the guy is happy for a while. Sincerly I really hope that people from each blizzard game are as lucky as we are with brood war! I think brood war is also the game where blizzard learned the most | ||

btw thanks for doing Sandlot and the other stuff that I don't know it was you who did it. Some say the worst of people come out when they are drunk, if Sandlot was your worst I have no idea what would come out with your best  [edit] are you the one that said "there is a drone bug?" in that video where tasteless replies as: "OMFG WAIT WAIT, 'THERE IS A DRONE BUG???'" or something? | ||

That post was an awesome read, and I agree 100% with what you said. I've been a Blizzard fanboy since... 98-99 or so... and I've been consistently defending Blizzard's actions, mostly in the B.net forums themselves, for years. I've never doubted for a second that Blizzard doesn't care, and it's really nice to hear the confirmation from you (even though it really wasn't necessary). Anyways, I guess I really don't have much more to add other than THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. Good luck with Razer, I hope everything works out for you. ^_^ | ||
