[Zann]

We’re going to be recording an entire podcast series where we invite members of the Community just like you to come on and talk about the topics of Telara with members of the Community Team and other guests.

Check out episode 1 here and use this thread to discuss it and let us know what you think!

I just started playing Rift, I ported over from a diffrent online and I just have to say, I have never in all my years had a forum have a podcast, or care so much about the trolling (publically anyways.) It definetly makes me feel better about starting all over, here. Shows that attention is paid, which is much appreciated. Look forward to what's to come!

Transcript plz!

[Ianto Jones]

I don't think the intro is cheesy enough.

Good stuff. I've seen community podcasts done to great effect in another game. It'll be interesting to see where this goes.

[WizFish]

Cheesy intros! That's what I do! xD

[Laughter]

Yay it's out!

[Hrithmus]

Good podcast, i really enjoyed it.

It makes me happy to hear that the forum trolling problem is taken seriously.

... but now I'm worried, because if they're enforcing more carefully, I gotta work even HARDER to not be a jerk.

[Laughter]

I think I should change my name to Awkward.. because man I had some awkward moments in this. LOL

20mins in and I started cringing at the "real life" examples to trolls.

I personally don't see why we need this, we have rift junkies who do amazing things already. Very professional and well done, we also have gamebreaker.tv the sanctum which is one of thee best rift show podcasts around, VERY much community.

Haters gonna hate I'm sure are your thoughts, but surely Trion employees can spend their paid time better within internal affairs, not on this, and no offence to whoever it was (cindy someone?) but you're only opening yourself to a world of no good with this, or any other future trion employee that comes on it.

Some comments were made that could easily rebound back at trion in a bad light. Just sayin'

Don't worry, the infraction points roll off after a couple of months. Sometimes it's worth it.

Ahh, but!

I don't think I can have my shiny green title AND current infractions. So I have to be careful.

Sadly, not calling people idiots is hard for me.

Their new enforcement has caused me some issues with posting, as I feel it's gone a bit too far in the direction of heavy-handedness. I understand the need to keep the forums clean, and not let them become like other gaming forums, but it seems a bit too strict.

I can only read so many 'doom and gloom' and 'I'm quitting' posts a day before I start to get snarky with people.

[the_real_seebs]

Well, at least now we know why.

[bluedot]

I sound weird.

Lande, your signature is amazing on so many levels.
