this is key employee number 2 that leave the company after or because of the acquisition of Mythic by EA.
Of course, it might not have anything to do with it, but I, for one, am sad to see her go. I think she did and was doing a wonderful job of speaking with us, the fans, and trying to pass our concerns, if any, to the higher ups.
I hope she will find a better job and I hope her replacement will be as skilled as she was.
Good luck, Sanya, we will miss you.

Sanya didn't even work with the WAR team. She was in charge of DAOC, The Sims Online, and UO. That is a lot of responsibility and i'm sure it eventually got to her
A little insight into Sanya, aka Tweety. She used to have a web site up at bowlofmice.com, but sadly it is no longer available on the net. Before she went to work for Mythic she was a Guide in the Everquest 1 guide program. Let me say here she was a very good guide and her dismissal from the guide program and eventual banning of her Everquest account all seemed pretty unfair, but then I was not privy to all that went on internally. From the emails she posted on her web site though, it seemed fairly obvious that she lost her EQ account through no fault of her own. Anyway the reason Tweety was removed from the guide program was due to a rant that was made public, again through no fault of her own. I can only assume she had a very hard guding session one night and sat down and wrote the following rant.
please do not read further if bad language bothers you. This rant is full of bad words.
This is a direct quote of the original rant by tweety.

Try Being A Guide, You Nutless Assmuncher
Tweety's first rant
Here's some background - I've been a guide since March. I took a month off in protest of some seriously fucked up guide policies, and a total lack of communciation between VI and their customer service staff. I came back to discover Verant got their shit together, and now it's the players that suck. Some of you assholes are up way past your bedtime.
Get a clue, pissants - Neither I, nor anyone else breathing actually gives a shit about how so and so stole your orc. Furthermore, no one cares that you lost the roll for whatever piece of crap weapon, because guess what? In five levels that piece of trash will be on your fourth twink and you'll be complaining about some other l33t weapon. (Note to a_pissant00: DO you know how retarded you sound petitioning over how you were ripped off AFTER YOU ROLLED FOR IT AND LOST? What the fuck do you think I'm going to do? That's right, genius, I'm going to ask your group TO ROLL FOR THE ITEM. If you already rolled, I'm not going to do anything but ROLL my eyes and curse the malformed sperm that somehow beat out all the healthy ones and created you in some horrible genetic accident.)
Next, the guide rezz. NOBODY over level 20 should be confused or surprised by the incredibly limited powers a guide has. I can rezz you if 1) You zoned into lava, 2) Died due to Verant crashing (not you and your dial up, VERANT), and 3) Died to a confirmed bug. Otherwise, I can't do it. I would love to, but I can't. I have died to plenty of un-confirmed bugs myself, I know it sucks, and I still can't do it. It's not all about you and how I hate you because you aren't in an uber guild. Guess what, moron? I DON'T PLAY ON YOUR SERVER. I do not know, nor do I give two shits about the status of the guilds on your server. >Elite Cockjockeys< and >: Lords of Jizz< means exactly the same to me - NOTHING. I rezz every single person I can, because I know exactly how much losing a week's worth of work to something not my fault sucks. If I don't rezz you, it isn't personal. So shut the fuck up about how I would have done it if you were a member of >Dancing Dickbeaters<.
Let's move on to sending tells to a guide. I logged in tonight to find myself the only guide with count 'em FORTY petitions waiting to be answered. Sorry, Mr. I can't find my super twinked body and I'm only level 2 and a forty minute walk to my corpse. Not only do people like you disgust me on general principles, but the guy who's been waiting for three hours stuck on a gate in Permafrost TAKES PRIORITY OVER YOU. Read the rules, dipshit. I take calls by petition, not by your sad sack tell of woe. And cussing at me, screaming at me, and telling me what a rotten person I am makes me accidentally camp out when I finally clear the monster backup and get to your whiny ass. Don't send me tells, assholes. The ten minutes I end up wasting asking you nicely to send a petition (or if you sent one, the twenty minutes I spend telling you it's not your turn yet) means that much longer of a wait.
Play nice policies. My personal feelings aside (lay off the wacky weed, Verant), I get to enforce it. Do you know how much I hate you at the end of a long shift? What kind of asshole thinks the king room in Lower Guk can be shared by TWO GROUPS OF 12? Conversely, what kind of screaming cocksucker thinks it's okay to camp the king room for 36 hours? I think you both suck. The only people lamer than you are the ones that PNP over derv camps in North Ro and then act surprised when I send one group to the DESERTED derv camp a 30 second walk away.
Boats. Hey, Einstein, before you petition me that the boats are broken, do an /ooc and find out when the boat left. If it was two minutes ago, IT'S NOT HERE YET.
Quests. All I have to say to you phat lewt motherfuckers who have wrecked every quest I've been involved in is grow up, shut up, go back to Quake or whatever blow shit up video game you came from, and get the fuck away from the quest area. It's your ten bucks, go somewhere and kill stuff. Why the hell do you feel compelled to ruin the once every blue moon event we have for the seven people (who ALSO pay the ten bucks) who actually want to role play?
Illiterate people. I am NOT talking about the English as a second language kids. I go through those slowly and calmly, and more than once I've resorted to typing /ooc Anyone in this zone speak BOTH Japanese and English? By illiterate, I mean you fucking cretins who send me petitions that read "Ur gona get my coprse rezzed, plz." What the hell am I, psychic? How did you die, where did you die, and so on is stuff I need. If you tell me in a format I can comprehend without calling over my twelve year old neighbor, I will send you a tell that says, "Hang on, let me check out your corpse. Yep, you died to that bug all right. Here's your rezz. Good luck, friend." Your fucking cryptic petitions mean ten minutes of agonizingly rotten typing and stupidity that have me wondering where the hell I left my universal translator. Plus, any petition I get in dewdspeak automatically biases me against you. Why? Because it's the d00ds that are usually trying to snow me, and get something for nothing (like a free rez for a death caused by jumping off a wizard spire with 150 HP), and who feel entitled to absolutely everything.
The only thing more annoying than dewd petitions are the ones that say "Hurp." When I finally discover that "Hurp" means you were duelling someone named Hurp who promised not to use magic in a duel, and it turned out he had a 49th level cleric HP buff up, and you want me to use the broadcast command to tell the world what a cheater he is, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE.
Scumbags. I may not know who the uberguilds are, but I sure as hell know who the scumbags are. You're the one who caused a dozen petitions because you were spamming the zone with "So and so is a faggot." You're the one who trained all the bouncers to the CT entrance just to fuck with the kids inside trying to escape the lizard train your twin brother created on purpose. You're the one who backed a female wood elf character into a corner, calling her names and sending her foul tells. You're the one who tricked the player with poor English skills into believing a trading a GLS for a whatever-piece-of-shit was a good trade because you were giving him a lore item. I know you. Don't get all fucking bent because I told the GM not to change your name and let you duck your reputation. Don't be shocked that I never rule in your favor in PNP situations. And don't waste your time crying to another guide about how I hate you, because there are only six guides on the entire server who show up for work, and we talk.
Speaking of the aforementioned female wood elf and other forms of sexual harassment - there are two sides to this one as well. It happens. It happens a lot. Unsolicited tells, really truly disgusting emotes, and situations in which one lonely knob beater chases a female avatar from West Freeport to Emerald Jungle - it HAPPENS. You people sicken me. That said, I have very little sympathy for the person behind a character named Likkmebrestesses who types /em wants to have some fun with the brawny barbarian! and then complains when said barbarian asks if she'd like to go cyber in the hidden inn. Or my favorite, the gnomes who petition when someone says "You're the perfect height... for a b.... eer." Get a sense of humor already. You make it harder for people actually being harassed.
If my little hissy fit keeps ONE SINGLE IDIOT from sending a petition because he's going to get laughed at, I did something good today. I sure as hell feel better.

Enjoy your history lesson.
She did work on WAR. She was in charge of the WAR Herald and she also went to most, if not all, WAR related exhibitions. There's no way to know what else she had to do behind the scenes.
Hhahahahah, i forgot all about that.
Yup, she was a "true professional"
Say, you dont happen to have a link to some archived info on that SoE EQ guy who told that poster to "shut up and mail your monthy payment in, my porshe needs a tune up" ?
Qoute is not exact.
People move on and do other things, some people can't work in a huge team, some are drawn out and exahusted by the work they have to do for a product, and some feel the need to move on, I belive many DAoC fans will be sad to see her go.
I'm not to sure on my feelings though, I scan this site the most and here I always find Richard posts. I'd probably be more sad if he were to go.
Die Noctique, By Day and Night
Sanya was my only "IN" at mythic, now Ill have to actually go out and make new contacts to get any type of info
She needs to go hit the gym.
Same, plus she has a good sense of humor (that rant was funny as hell)..
Get her to run with me 3 times a week and I think I would fall in love.

Aestehtically on a scale of 1-10 she is about a 4.5 and you guys think shes cute? man you must have low self-esteem
Some people think Paris Hilton is "hot" but personally she is twig that needs to be snapped. Sorry I just don't dig the whole anorexia look but to each their own.
Personally she is pretty cute. She has meat on her bones, has a good look about her, is down to earth, and has a awesome sense of humor.
If you rather the ditzy, needs 2 hours to do her hair, can't do anything on her own, type of girl thats your choice.
Back to the matter at hand. It troubles me that she left Mythic (or was pressured to leave). I would rather a person tell me straight up how something is rather than the happy go lucky spin jockies that turn class nerfs into redistribution of class ability points.

Tough decision
Thats her in the picture, but she dosent look anything like that picture.
much better looking than the picture came out , and shes just the coolest gamer person you can imagine which makes her lots of fun and great for quotes!
Shame, I'm sure she will be missed.
Good luck to her with whatever she does next.
That would be Milo D Cooper, who said, "Shut up and pay me your $10 a month, little man. My Porsche needs some performance upgrades."
He was the Senior Artist on the original EQ team, and moved on to Sigil in the same position.
Sigil bio for Milo
Can't find an archive of the original post where he said it. I believe it was from a column he did in the day called Ask Milo.
Edit: For the guy that posted a pic of Jessica Alba, I presume then that you're banging some Hollywood starlet?
So Sanya looks like a normal person, and some people find her attractive. Probably more so because she's just a cool person in general. So fuckin' what?
You can post pics of Alba, or any Hollywood bimbette you like, but the closest you'll ever get to one of them is your bottle of Jergens and a tube sock.
And while I'm at it, anyone that wants to bag on her for her looks best be posting a picture of themselves proving they're some sort of example of the human form.
Game....Set...Match
*Note to self* don't cross Coldmeat.

Man, that was one of the best flames I have ever seen. Thank you!
Eh, there was a wicked thunderstorm here Sat/Sun, and it blewed up me modem, so no interweb for 2 days.
Pent up rage from dealing with tech support located in a Third World Country, and whatnot.
That, and annoyance with random shitheels on the net, hell, on an MMO forum of all places, trying to come off like they only date the hottest supermodels.
Edit: Plus, Tweety's just a cool person, regardless of something as superficial as her looks. Personally, I like chicks with mohawks, or the shaved head look and what not, so it's not as if I'm harboring some secret fantasy that she'll read this, and leave her husband, travel halfway across the country and make lil monkey babies with me or something.
