LoTRO's new Senior Producer?

[Belechael]

The truth of the claim has nothing to do with the matter. The OP is just trying to stir things up. He has no more idea than anyone else who the Exec. Producer is. He's just yanking chains over it.

So what is wrong with stiring things up?

There are some of us who are bored as Mordor right now, and have been for quite some time, and some scraps of info about HD would be most welcome.

CSTM quit there podcast & mostly there blog but they didn't abandon the game, they still play.

Guess it is not financially suitable for them to continue said podcast which are driven by fans.

This is an outright lie. Link me a post where they said that, or else keep your lies to yourself. This lie makes the validity of your post nil, especially when you call it "Hytbold Deep" and then say you aren't even playing the game currently.

Ever heard of sarcasm I'm sure my post is riddled with it. Thanks for participating.

[Mrnarfy]

Bahahahah.

Yeah someone gets it.... wow we got some hardcore fans here that will kill for some LOTRO.

You're right, I admit that you trolled me good. However Goldenstar and Merric are awesome people and I do not like to see people lying about them or using them to further their trolls.

It wasn't even a troll post did you see that I posted that LOTRO is great. So if you admit that you didn't detect any form of sarcasm then call it a troll post, then admitted say I am lying about Goldenstar and Merric.... are you at fault here? Yeah blame it on me because you are slow, I got it.

[undying........]

Given the OPs "posting history" (such as it is) on might surmise that it's a troll thread just designed to stir people up. He's probably sitting back laughing at everyone who took him seriously.

okay, before you try to send him a package of antrax, just relax ...

[Rainothon]

Could someone shed some light on who LoTRO's new Senior Producer is? Aaron Campbell has been moved to Dungeons & Dragons Online.

So, back to the original question at hand. Sapience, could you shed some light on this please?

[enginekid]

The name is the same, the previous thread has disappeared and looks to have had the post count reset, so I'd say your conclusion is sound.

Yup, with his previous troll/hate thread I already know this with 100% certainty. It was deleted and now he is back trying to sow more discord. I play lotro since closed beta and never knew who the producers are, or how many times that position has changed hands. No one cares until today apparently.

Then you are incredibly naive and shouldn't be posting in this thread.

[Edrogar]

Only if he wants to. He's certainly competent as all hell.

To whom do i direct my injury claim? I just fell off my chair.

Indeed, wasted a cup of coffee with that.

On Topic could we please have Jeffery Steefel back. Oft misguided and misinformed but things where much better with him around.

[Menathradon]

I'd like to apply for Senior Producer position...

If elected, I will disable the LOTRO store, enable the Shire to be a PVP zone, as well as the forthcoming Helm's Deep region to be PVP zone, and we will have a Raid cluster for Helm's Deep, including a 12 man multiboss raid... not a skirmish.. a REAL RAID, like Rift of nurz ghashu or original Helegrod!


and each pvp zone will be balanced according to Shadows of Angmar times. I will destroy all of the Outposts, and BRING BACK FLAG HOT SPOTS!!!!!!!!! yes. it will be so.


Oh and the hobbits will learn to run the correct way.

riiight, knowing the name of the producer will somehow change my lotro experience, eh? and i am the one who is naive?

[Thrabath]

I agree with Ellemere on this case that it's a little naive. Senior and Executive producers are the ones that determine the heading of the game, sometimes (and I wish it was more often) give updates on the game and I think all changes about these positions were communicated to us, the players.

I think most of the long-term players who regularly visit and read the forums have read those updates. Saying nobody cares is a lie, since I care and apparently other players reacting in this topic also care

[Brinswith]

Indeed it very well could. Knowing the producer and their background is a good way to gain an insight into how they may take the game forward(or backward).

[Rosiebelle]

By Durin's Beard I care!

Who (if anyone) steps into this role is a significant indicator for the future of the game - both in terms of direction and longevity.

The longer we go without hearing anything (or knowing why we are not hearing anything) then the more concerned I will be.

That is your opinion.....I would like to know the answer myself.....

I don't much care what <insert new Senior Producer here> says, just what he or she actually does. Rowan wasn't exactly a fountain of information, with a single brief "producer's letter" at the end of last year, half a dozen posts on the forums (total, with none of them of any real substance), and an interview or two with gaming press about Rohan a year ago. None of that was exactly earth-shattering, and frankly, if he hadn't said anything about moving over to DDO in public, I doubt anyone out here would have even noticed for half a year.

I hope they get someone competent to step in, but unless the new person going to behave quite differently, my reaction to it is going to be *shrug*.

[Brinswith]

so? wow look everyone the producers name is Bob! look at my new insight! everyone gather around and bask in it.

I'll disregard how petty you are and go with how intresting that you chose to pick on me rather than Thrabath, who said pretty much the same thing.

[Shriya]

I vote Sapience to be the new Senior Producer.
All those in favor?

Say Aye: Aye.

As for the rest, I just checked the open jobs and I see nothing for a senior producer linked to Lotro. So either they haven't opened it up (yet) or the position has already been filled, but the senior producer hasn't told anyone here.

Does s/he need to? We already know Kate Paize is the Executive producer. What matters is what direction the game is heading. If someone completely new (to the gaming industry) were to fill this job, would this tell you something about the direction the game is headed? I don't think so. I think a word from Kate about the direction will mean much more, but that's just my humble two cents

Dude...quit Trolling.....

It is a legit question....

so this rowan guy barely ever communicated with the players yet Ellenmere says she has great insight into the direction of the game from him... i guess i am being trolled.

[enginekid]

you have a really short memory since it was only an hour ago when YOU quoted me, and then attacked me. You instigated the entire exchange between us, and now say you are being picked on by me? unbelievable.

It's Ellemere thank you, and no you are not being trolled you are baiting. There is a difference.
