Topic: Hello from your new Community Manager! Posted: 23 Oct 2011 at 17:53 |
|
Hello Illyriad community! My name is Luna and (as some of our rather sleuth-y forum goers have already noticed) I'm your new Community Manager.
Before I get into what that means for Illyriad, I thought I'd tell you a little about myself. One can't remain a mystery dwarf forever. I've been playing MMOs and participating in online communities for over 12 years. In that time, I've made some amazing friends through our shared hobby and have no doubt learned the value of community in gaming. I've been a leader in various online communities for the past 4 years as a blogger, podcaster, fansite operator and community manager of a gaming-focused social network. My gaming style is very social and I even dabbled in guild leadership for a time. MMOs are inherently social experiences and I believe that the people you play with are just as valuable as the game itself.
While I haven't played Illyriad as long as many of you, I've definitely enjoyed my time in game, in large part due to its community driven aspects. Even I, on my first day in game, received a care-o-van of resources without even asking for them. Generosity and helpfulness toward new players is not something you see every day in many other MMOs that I've experienced. Though I will no longer be participating in game as a player, I look forward to fostering player interaction in my new position.
Which leads me to my role on the Illyriad team. As your Community Manager, my function (to state it simply) is to facilitate communication between players and developers as well as amongst the playerbase. I hope that in doing so I can help to enrich the gaming experience for our players and encourage the continued growth of Illyriad. I have a lot of exciting ideas swirling around about how we can make that happen and look forward to sharing those with you soon.
In the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions, ideas or concerns either via private message on the forums or at community@illyriad.co.uk. I look forward to getting to know all of you.
Cheers,
Luna
