Hi Everyone,

I wanted to quickly jump in here and introduce myself - I'm Andraste,
the Community Relations Manager for IGE (goes into bullet-time dodging
gunfire). ;)

I know there are a lot of questions, and misconceptions out there about
what we do and how we do it, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to
not only get to know many of you, but to clear up a lot of those
concerns. Such as - we do not participate in nor condone any sort of abusive
farming or duping practices. But instead of boring you guys with a lot of corporate-ese and party
lines, I thought I would just stick my neck out there and say hi and allow you
guys to ask questions - we're more than happy to discuss them with you.

Best,
Andraste

Oh hell, what did we do now...

See the EQ2 Dupe Story thread and tell us you didn't buy that guys gold. If you can't then don't come blowing smoke up our collective asses.

JESUS CHRIST!




RUN AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Not that I believe you-are-who-you-say-you-are, but here's a link to a discussion you should tell us all about the wonders of buying virtual property.

Nice troll by the way, even if you are who-you-say-you-are.

We let you loot the corpses of players you kill, but we do not support or condone random ganking.

Heh, interesting. For the record, he's posting from Delaware. Don't believe there's any IGE offices in Delaware, but he could be a telecommuter. We don't do email validation, so we can't tell from that.

Hrm...questions...

How hard is IGE going to try to ruin Vanguard after the public comments by Sigil people?

How much do your employees in Hong Kong make, on average?

IGE?
Here?

This is not the Vault you are looking for.

They already came by and said hi there...

[11:09] <@Pander> Title request: IGE_Andraste: We Ruin Worlds!
[11:10] <@Pander> or, at the very least, "Employs more cheap labor than landscapists"
[11:19] <@galt> i'm not sure which one i like better
[11:20] <@Pander> I'd say 2nd one.
[11:20] <@Pander> First one also applies to EA employees.
[11:20] <@galt> this is true
[11:21] <@Pander> Then again, so does the 2nd...
[11:21] <@galt> perhaps something about farming?
[11:21] <@Pander> "Hello you have reached the Calcutta Ultima Online Helpdesk"
[11:22] <@Pander> "Currently beating the Chinese Oliver Twist."
[11:23] <@Pander> "Working the Chinese like it's 1889"
[11:23] <@Pander> "Labor laws? Tax laws? Uh, no speakee English!"
[11:24] <@galt> i like the 1889 one

Ok, guys. I know EXACTLY what to do in this kind of situation. I need a young priest, and and old priest.

Heh.

Me too!

Well, let's be fair, a crappy desk job watching bots in China is probably still better than back-breaking labor. Not that I have any personal experience, because I'm a weakling.

Definitely

Snort.
See no evil, Andraste?

I KNOW what some of the people who sold ISK to companies in Eve have done.

He also dropped by to say hi at F13. The mods then got in to a slapfight over who got to Den the post first.

Why censor him?

It's so nice to have a board that doesn't have to consistently delete stuff.

Well, with Libertyisatsteak gone, we really DID need more entertainment.

Like it or not, IGE is a permanent part of MMORPGS. I say we keep him.

Is it too late to add him to my August Angst bracket?
