MMORPG.com columnist Sanya Weathers wraps up her tenure here at MMORPG.com with this column reflecting on the ideas that she would like to leaves us with.
Years of doing for community for people who are not entirely sure what community is has taught me to end presentations with the things I want people to remember.
Actually, years of doing presentations has taught me to start with those points, so all the people who will get yanked out of the meeting to fix crashed servers or prima donna designers will still know what was really important. That rather raises the question “couldn’t your meetings be five minutes long?” And the answer is yes, but some of my former employers just loved meetings too much. Starting with my bullet points freed up the Blackberry thumbers and the doodlers to blow 55 minutes doing whatever they wanted, so it wasn’t a total waste.
Cheers,

Thanks for all the good columns Sanya. It was a pleasure reading them and nodding my head in agreement with a fellow gamer.

Good luck with the Quick Hit stuff, will miss your insights!
Its all good stuff... and yes, though we all disagree on all issues, big to small, we are all on the same side... the side that seeks fun.
You're a rockstar of the mmorpg.com community in my book, so please come back and gimme some more good reads from time to time!

Thanks for all of your insights. Its been entertaining and educational reading your columns. Best of luck with your new job.
I just got the internet back after a week break, the first thing i did was check to see if there was any new articles to read on here. Your column was one of the main reasons i kept coming back to visit after first discovering mmorpg.com. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your new position. I won't forget the passion your conveyed for mmo's and their communities, it has certainly inspired me.
Thanks for all the articles.
And good luck!
Sad day! Your columns were my favorite.
A new job... That explains a few things...
Congratulations, Sanya. You'll be missed!
Sorry to see you go, this has been my favorite column.

Good luck with the new position...have to say it's a shame to see you go though...so much for the best-written and only consistently interesting column on this site
It's too bad you're leaving. I think you've inspired some of the other writers to push it harder/better. I'll miss your work and hope that you can occasionally drop out a drive-by-column. Best of luck!
But but... I like your column!
Wish you all the best in your new(ish) job, have fun, and don't forget us
F2P/P2P excellent thread.

Take care and have fun! Was kind of surprised to realize I actually remembered a person's name who worked for a game I played, (DAoC), one day when I logged in here. Take it easy!
doh!
This suks!
"I understand that if I hear any more words come pouring out of your **** mouth, Ill have to eat every fucking chicken in this room."
They were the best columns on this board. Always a pleasurable and insightful read.
Going to miss your insightful columns Sanya.
Good luck with your new game and keep being who you are. Good times are ahead of you!

A double blow, leaving us and for a casual F2P game.
If I wish you success, chances are we won’t see you again and a F2P game is successful, so instead all the best.
Your columns on MMORPG were my favorite read, thank you for the insight you gave me into the industry.
I hope that you enjoy your new role!
Good luck, Sanya. Your thoughts on MMOs and their communities have always helped me think about it in a different way, and your ability to type full columns weekly helped me to procrastinate somewhat productively.
I enjoyed hearing about the various little bits and pieces behind the scenes of MMO production, and the past, oh, twenty weeks plus? have surely had benefits from your stay here.
'Tis always sad though when someone cool leaves... have fun earning full-time wages! I'll be there too, eventually!
I am playing EVE and it's alright... level V skills are a bit much.
You all need to learn to spell.
