Nope. Still Community Manger. Players often tend to refer to any "blue name" as a dev. Though in that context 'dev' usually means something closer to "official person working at Turbine" or someone directly working on the LOTRO project. Which I am, just not in the sense of developing the game.
I guess you could say I 'develop' the community, things like Take the Hobbits to Isengard; get the team to put together things in game that I can then use out of game (Titles for weatherstock come to mind), and things like that.

Has Aaron taken over Kate's spot and is Kate still with Turbine?Quote:

The technical support team gets its own user-group color (Green). I know unlike Developers you get the option to toggle your posts on and off in the tracker. This suggests you might be able to change your color to clear this up. Are you particularly attached to the color blue? (Yellow, alas, is used in some "Special" player recognition titles and is unavailable, perhaps red?).Quote:

+QA certainly has that level of feedback/interaction to warrant the same color as the Dev team.
1. Yes. 2.Uncertain, and they probably wont tell us.Quote:

I tend to use the generic "Turbinite." :)Quote:

I haven't been following discussions on other sections than General Discussion lately so I have to ask.. is this the same as getting "worged" in PvMP forums?Quote:

It's not as if the 2 jobs have anything to do with each other, they require entirely different skills.
I say that being a developer. CMs deserve respect too :)
Look at it from this perspective.Quote:

Becoming a developer is a promotion, therefore. By a small margin. But still. A promotion.
Either way, both jobs have nothing on the secretary, whose appreciation day has 1.980.000 hits. Just sayin' :p
I still think that it's 2 different careers, you can switch between them, but you can't be promoted from one to the other.Quote:

Sounds pretty much of a 6 of one, half-dozen of the other kind of situation, as far as migraine production anyway.
Thank goodness I'm in no danger of being promoted to, demoted to, or otherwise installed in, either job! :)
Whoa whoa...calm down. No need to go throwin' bows all over the place. Someone's gonna get hurt!Quote:
