It is kind of amusing that suddenly there's two active Devs I haven't seen -EVER- online suddenly doing all the posting. Tiggs was doing the job of many probably for the pay of 1, so I have to give her a hat's off. I've known her a long long time now, and will truly miss her. All in all, we had our share of disagreements, but also had our share of mutual agreements, that's how life is folks. Some say she got fired, some say she quit, either way it is a loss that will be felt by the community. But if she should ever want a good reference for a new job, she need only contact me via the forums and I'll definately give her my contact information. She worked hard, did what she could, and performed her job the best she could under the constraints of coorporate scrutiny and censorship.

Take care, Tiggs. As someone who's done the IT and Customer Support job as a career for pushing 10 years now, I don't envy you the position you had here. I thought you did a stellar job (probably the best you could given limitations on you) and think that your departure is only going to hurt things with the impending rollout of the NGE.



Take care, and best of luck in whatever you move on to do... maybe we'll see you in LoTRO, DDO, or one of the other cool games coming out next year...

Not going to read the other pages, just going to say my peace.


Tiggs, we have not always agreed, but we have always had a mutual respect. You have always watched out for me, for us, and been there always defending our rights, despite what any may think.


We have been friends a while now, and I will miss you. You know how to contact me, should you choose to. I do hope to hear from you.


I wish you the very best, with all my heart, wherever you go from here, and whatever you choose to do.

Ok, I got the words back...


You know how hard it is to get any information about anything in here?


Now can you possibly imagine how hard it is to place someone as a community relations person and treat them the same way?


Tiggs was placed between a rock and a hard place.You can't treat your employee'slike that and then expect them to stick around when the bantha poodoo really hits the ceiling.

Sad to see you're leaving, Tiggs. Actually, I still keep the hope that you got fired because you got sick of so much NGE crap and told your boss some well said things. Just my hope, actually, not that I like or wanted you fired.

Anyway, I am 99% sure I'll be leaving this game because of the NGE, so I may eventually find you again at some other game

just by reading the first paragraph of the first article, i think it's obvious that does not include SOE. that talks about closing plants, and investing in new tvs and stuff.




Even if they for some reason decided not to include SOE in such a major restructuring, I believe my point still stands. Tiggs is being laid off as a part of downsizing.




I have to disagree. I am betting she got fired for this post.

It's a major boo-boo as a CSR to bash a competitor's products on your company's website/forums. Could open SOE up to a suit for product disparagment.






I felt like it was an accumulation of discontent, but now that i read your post, i think you are 100% right.


MAJOR mistake on Tiggs part... if the lawyers say to Brenlo "Boot her or we'll take the lawsuit cost off your paycheck..." then she is history.


She should have known better.

They probably fired her because they have no need for a pure customer relation position in a consle game.

I admire your dedication to posting the last few days.

Maybe so, but given the fact that she was fired or quit today indicates to me that she finally woke up to the fact that she was either, as you say lying, or being fed lies and it was not going to stop. I have been in numerous positions where I knew I should have walked from day 1 and didn't, in hopes that it would not keep getting worse.


She obviously hung in there as long as she could, swallowing her pride to "keep her job". Finally it was too much, and she either up and quit, or blasted management and up and quit, or blasted management and was show the way outside.


All I know is that given the timing of this development it is clear that SOE either blames her for us not liking what they shove down our throats, or she took the red pill and left. So Ritha, with all due respect, I would ask that you tone down the rhetoric to "Tiggs delivered a lot of lies on behalf of the most ethically challenged MMORPG." since we do not really know what transpired.
