Hey guys,
So let's give a quick run through of my day today.
I get in, check email, get my first huge cup of water for the day (trying to cut out all caffeine), and sit down to work. I check the FE forums...and see this thing about a GameSpot ad. And see we didn't plan to have a post up announcing it. Wow, that's unfortunate, I think.
So I shift into damage control, make my first post, talk to Moonshadow, and get back to work. Work work work...restating some firearms, handling some bugs...work work work. Sadly things on the forums don't calm down, and my first post didn't seem to help and instead made people feel not wanted. Huh...sad...not the intent. So I try apologizing. That sort of works.
Then as more people trickle into the office (it's Monday and I'm a morning person so I tend to get in pretty early) we start talking amongst ourselves and realized we've had an internal communication snafu. The left hand thought the right hand was still dealing cards when the right hand already had a full house. So what do we do about it now?
Well, that's not all that much we can do besides apologize again. Mea culpa. We had every intention of posting on here before the ads went live, but had confusion amongst our own people and things got lost in the shuffle. We want y'all to learn about this sort of stuff first, and we try to do that whenever possible. We'll do our best not to have this happen again.
On a personal note I did not mean to disrespect our fans or say we didn't want you in the test. We definitely want to include our fans, but right now we need people who can meet certain criteria (logging lots of hours at specific times, fast connections, good machines, etc) as a first priority. If our fans can meet those criteria, rock on. If not, we'll hopefully get you in a less stringent testing period in the coming months.
Really the point of all this is we screwed up. We're sorry. We'll try not to do it again. Don't feed us to the Captain. We do appreciate y'alls support and effort, and we definitely don't want y'all to feel that we don't. We want this game to be a success as much as anyone if not moreso, and to that we need folks to play it. Folks like y'all.
Wow, I guess my Southern US upbringing really came out in this post. I think that's a record for most y'alls in one post.
