Welcome to our first issue of Age of Conan's “Your Voice”, a community forum get-together where you can ask questions of the developers, and we will then take them to get answered directly! Got a quandary about why a mob fights a certain way? Maybe you want to know the idea behind an NPC’s origin? Perhaps a character’s personality differs from the stories, and you want to know why? Ask away!
Now, before we get started, there are some guidelines to follow and some rules that we have to make clear.
On the first of the month, a new thread titled “Your Voice – Month” will be posted in the General Discussion section of both the subscriber and F2P forums. This thread will be open and the community can post questions they want asked of the developers.
You guys/gals/barbarians are able to submit questions from the 1st of the month until 16:00 GMT/12:00 EDT of the 15th of the month. At 16:00 GMT/12:00 EDT this thread will be closed, and 5 questions will be chosen. As much as we want to be able to bring all of the questions you have asked to the developers, they simply do not have the time to answer every question a player may have.
If we see a question that is being asked repeatedly, we will attempt to get it answered, but please understand that we can only answer so much about certain things!
Once the questions are chosen, we will be contacting the appropriate developers to get them answered! As we get answers we will post them accordingly between the 16th and the end of the month. Once the month has ended, the questions and answers will be moved to a separate thread for all to see and enjoy. Please be sure to visit that thread before you post, as your question may already have an answer!
On the first of the next month the old thread will be deleted, a new thread will be created, and the wonderful process will begin all over again!
Please remember that this is a thread where the only things you should be posting are questions that can be answered. While we love snark as much as the next person, we want to have a good pool of legitimate questions for our developers to answer. We mean it when we say we’re going to get these questions answered! We also mean it when we say no mercy to trolls. What you believe is legitimate and what we believe is legitimate may greatly differ, so troll at your own risk. Here’s an example:
Good Question: Hey guys! Can you talk about what’s coming in the next big content update yet?
Bad Question: When r u going to fix the game you n00bs?!?!
It’s pretty clear which questions we like and which we don’t.
We want this to be an enjoyable and connecting experience for our community and developers, but we can’t do it alone. We appreciate your cooperation and hope you enjoy getting answers to some of those burning questions about Age of Conan!
