Greetings Programs…er Racers!
As the headline says, we have a new Community Manager here at Cie Games…
And that person is me! Yay me! Yes, I just cheered for myself. Feel free to cheer me on wherever it is you are…. Or not.
This is why my name changed from Ryystron to Ryyst (as some or none of you have noticed). I have been known as Ryyst on all our other forums so I changed it here to match everything else. I wish it was a more interesting story like I was handed the Matrix of Leadership and went from Ryystron to Ryyst like when Hot Rod became Rodimus Prime, but no, I’m not that cool… and I’m not a Transformer.
Quick Bio, I’ve been in the Video Game Industry for a little over 10 years. I started as a guide for a Text Based MMO, or MUD (Multi-user Dungeon) back in the day. I then went on to be a Game Master for an MMO which rhymes with POW. Later became a Senior GM for same said game. I was there for 7 years before I came to Cie Games in which as many of you know, I was a Customer Service Rep. Now I am the Community Manager for all of Cie Games.
What does that mean? Beats me!
Seriously though, I’ll be knee deep in most if not all of Cie Games social media identities. So yes, that means the various forums for our present and future games, the Facebook pages of our games. I’ll also be on Twitter! I’ll be looking into other things like Instagram, Pinterest, Google +, Tumblr and whatever else I may find out there.
I want to find new ways of engaging you, the players, not just on the forums, but outside as well. So contests with prizes, in-game events, yadda yadda, whatever my little mind can think of…. and they let me do.
Hey Ryyst, what about Lutz and Foxx?
They are still here except they will be focusing on their actual main jobs which is fixing the game and creating new features. That’s what you’d rather they do right? Of course it is! They will probably chime in from time to time, say hi, maybe give an update on what they are doing, but not as much as they have. So I’ll be around full time, helping out when I can. Reporting issues to our dev team, investigating weird things, telling you about what I had for lunch, basically I am going to be a part of this community.
So I’ll be upfront, that probably will mean I’m gonna get PMs like crazy, I will do my best to try and answer them, but I may not get to them all quickly. So I will say, if it’s an account specific issue, you should put in a ticket first as I’ll probably tell you to do that anyway. If you are having forum issues, yes, let me know. If major stuff is going on in game, put in a ticket, post about it and PM me, and I’ll investigate.
Additionally I’m gonna try and streamline the forums a bit, maybe lay some ground rules about spamming, bumping, thread necromancy and language. I also will start consolidating all the information Lutz and Foxx have posted into one spot (or at least the more recent ones) so that it’s all easy to find. I’ll also be laying down some rules for our MODs
So yeah, as you can see, I can get long winded.
For now, you can find me on:
