MMORPG.com columnist Sanya Weathers wraps up her tenure here at MMORPG.com with this column reflecting on the ideas that she would like to leaves us with.

Sanya Weathers

Years of doing for community for people who are not entirely sure what community is has taught me to end presentations with the things I want people to remember.

Actually, years of doing presentations has taught me to start with those points, so all the people who will get yanked out of the meeting to fix crashed servers or prima donna designers will still know what was really important. That rather raises the question “couldn’t your meetings be five minutes long?” And the answer is yes, but some of my former employers just loved meetings too much. Starting with my bullet points freed up the Blackberry thumbers and the doodlers to blow 55 minutes doing whatever they wanted, so it wasn’t a total waste.

Thanks for all the good columns Sanya. It was a pleasure reading them and nodding my head in agreement with a fellow gamer.

Best of luck to you in all you do and i hope you say hi to us every now and then. :D

Its all good stuff... and yes, though we all disagree on all issues, big to small, we are all on the same side... the side that seeks fun.

I just got the internet back after a week break, the first thing i did was check to see if there was any new articles to read on here. Your column was one of the main reasons i kept coming back to visit after first discovering mmorpg.com. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your new position. I won't forget the passion your conveyed for mmo's and their communities, it has certainly inspired me.

 It's too bad you're leaving.  I think you've inspired some of the other writers to push it harder/better.  I'll miss your work and hope that you can occasionally drop out a drive-by-column.  Best of luck!

 Take care and have fun! Was kind of surprised to realize I actually remembered a person's name who worked for a game I played, (DAoC), one day when  I logged in here.  Take it easy!

A double blow, leaving us and for a casual F2P game.

If I wish you success, chances are we won’t see you again and a F2P game is successful, so instead all the best. :)
