The main feature of VO that keeps me coming back is that you devs take the time to do it right. Keep up the good work.

I recently took a job at a helpdesk. The first thing my co-workers taught me was: expectations. Setting expectations is one of the most important things about customer care.

I would just like to remind the devs that it's super cool be told the updates will be coming out in a month and have them next week ;))) Even if the date is unrealistically in the future, it’s better to be surprised than let down.

This e-mail is not criticism in any way, and I didn’t mean to piss any1 off.

We have the distinct advantage over the makers of most games (and software in general) that there isn't some pointy-haired boss demanding that a deadline be met...

Hehe... anyone else catch the Dilbert reference?

It's not really that wonderful... but anyway, that bug is fixed. we're just putting the finishing touches on the NPC trading convoys now.

*woot* I have the day off tomorrow. Now I get to spend it playing VO and getting reacquainted (sp?-too lazy for a spellcheck).

I'd just like to say that I do appreciate the dev's waiting to release updates after they've fixed the crippling bugs ;o)

I wanna see the NPC traders ferrying tequila back & forth. Throw in a tequila widget!
Sep 16, 2005 everman7 link
I'll second the tequilla widget!

It's really a known entity in the universe, we should have one!

It's "SynTequilla"
Sep 16, 2005 jexkerome link
So it belongs to teh Syndicate?

Actually we've RP'ed that it's made in Sedina D-14 by Corvus brewmasters that Broma-Ba Slick and I contracted. From the last known remnants of the Old Earth tequila, stolen by Borb from my storage locker, recovered by Broma.
