Unfortunately other Game Masters were let go as well. It was a great experience and something I will never forget. This just means that I can look for new opportunities. I don't really have much else to say other than I'm sorry to hear you lost your job  And similar goes to the other 599 people who caught in the middle of this. | ||

Most of its player base is experienced in the game as well. The number of tickets being submitted to GMs must be plummeting. Not to mention many of the ones hired when WoW was massively expanding must be temps or contract workers. Exactly what I was thinking. | ||

Not only to be laid off on your birthday but it is a Leap year that only happens once every 4 years. Doh >< Well happy birthday! Now you got 2 reasons to drink today! But on a serious note, I wish you the best and hope you find something soon! | ||

You get fired because you are a dick, you get made redundant because the people controlling the money are dicks. I think that distinction might be lost in translation, I don't know for other countries but the Dutch translation for "being fired" doesnt make any distinction to wether it's your own fault or not. Until this thread I didn't even know there was a distinction in the US. | ||

The most recent one (like 2-3 weeks old) mount had a 60k+ queue when my gf tried to buy it at night... so imagine EU + NA, and the ones that were sold prior. | ||
