Bell, the New PWA? - Page 11

All in all this argument only brings up the fact that Graal hires its staff and developers through unprofessional means.

Yet, will this argument change anything? No. Bell will still be a PWA and Cyber w/e will still continue to hire how they like. And when you think about it, Im sure they dont care. They've some how come up with this scheme to get hundreds of players to develop a game for them for free. And have us pay them to make them money. Funny isn't it when you think about it.

There's a difference between making bucket loads, or a measly wage.

Which do you think they've made?

Theyve made a measly wage, but they are making money are they not?(Or were making money) Money is Money to me. Let it be 1 dollar or 100.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. It's not like they've hit the jackpot though with their scheme.

They aren't the only ones to let the players come up with the content either.

They could have at one point and had enough money leftover to hire some REAL staff instead of picking at people who want to have some kind of e-power over people who could mostly care less about them =|

I totally agree, I've seen other online games who let the players submit content, and those companies are far from poor.. so I wonder what happened

I just wanted to point out to whoever said --Chris-- hired calani - calani was hired before --Chris--... so I imagine that would've been a pretty neat trick to have her hired.

So what is your job Houdini, just an everday PWA?

HoudiniMan · #**160** 02-12-2007, 09:20 AM

Depends on who you ask.

I have more rights than the other PWAs and I do almost every single support ticket for PWs for the last 2 years with the recent exception of Bell helping the last 1-2 days. I've got nearly 4 years of experience, having been hired at the same time as Spark.

On the other hand, while I have the global right to edit bans, I can't globally edit comments (?) and it has been this way for -years-. Also, I have no authority to lead the team other than "eager beaver" chores like updating the playerworld rules. I haven't been consulted on the last two PWA hirings (Malinko and Bell, not to group them together in any other way). I have little to no contact with the directors.

So... my job is pretty much to do the best I can with what I've got.

Devil · #**161** 02-12-2007, 09:42 AM

What a job.

Sounds like a waste of 4 years.

I don't understand how if I can maintain regular contact with Stefan and such, how you can't?

Thats odd Chris was logging on babylon with global powers while calani still work on bab before she ever became PWA. I used the bug the hell outa them.
