I miss the days when Spork and Smoke would come and talk to PSU about the game :( When the "ask the devs" stopped was when I stopped feeling like the playerbase had any input into the game.

Yea Sporkfire and Smokejumper made a great team. They were both extremly community oriented and knew what the team needed to do to get the community involved. Sporkfire worked countless hours to help us stay around during our prime and to add more features to our Dev interview. I miss Spork the most out of any of the devs/community folk who have moved on.

But all is not lost. I didn't just re-open the site for the forums! ;)

Sporkfire is now at Turbine helping launch Dungeons and Dragons Online.

I've been in that beta for a while and follow the boards there, but I must say, he doesn't seem to portray the enthusiasm for DDO that he did when he was at Planetside.

He's probably become jaded and cynical after years of dealing with MMO fans.

hehe dunno - I havent been following the game at all but we still keep in touch. Sporkfire is by far one of the best community oriented guys out there, anyone who picks him up is lucky.

He is the best dev at DDO, but he picked a game that has an extreamly picky fanbase. You don't get much more geeky than a D&D fanatic.

I predict that DDO launch will age him a few years.

It took me a while to get into the swing of things again. It's kind of like riding a bike though ;)
