| Tabula Rasa's Community Coordinator Departs
Tabula Rasa's beloved community coordinator Amy "Critters" Crider is leaving NCsoft after more than a year of ups and downs. Critters' shared the following farewell letter with the community:
Today is a very sad day for me, as I will be leaving the Tabula Rasa staff to pursue another opportunity. With every build, I've watched this game transform for the better and I'm eager to see what's in store once it goes to the Live servers. With a new Lead Designer and end-game content directives such as Epic Instances, PVP CP's, and Mechs - this is an exciting time for TR!
Before I leave, I want to thank the PlanetTR staff for all the hard work and dedication they have put in to make the Tabula Rasa community so great. PlanetTR is a community person's dream - always coming up with new and interesting events, promoting the game, and just being an overall area where players can freely banter with each other.
Thank you to the Destination Games Devs, QA, and GMs that welcomed me with open arms when I joined the team. They are some of the most talented, friendly, and customer-focused people I have had a chance to work with.
Most of all, I'd also like to thank the Tabula Rasa players. You make our jobs possible - and fun! I'll definitely miss getting pwnd in Friday Night Fights, dropping Stalkers and Juggernauts on your heads, and doing a conga line around Wilderness :).
I leave you in the very capable hands of Dane Caruthers, also known as Entropic on the forums, who will be taking over my community responsibilities for Tabula Rasa. Dane has been with the game since beta and will be a great fit for such a wonderful community. Avatea will still be working on the EU side of community and working with Dane to keep you up to date with all the latest and greatest in Tabula Rasa developments.
Take care and Happy Hunting,
Amy Crider
AKA "Critters"
Tabula Rasa's community will miss Critters dearly, and we wish the best in her future endeavours!

Oh Snap!
Jokes aside, Tabula Rasa, as in any other MMO, still holds a loyal and dedicated player base. It may be true that their numbers cannot be compared to the bigger titles, they still deserve the developers' attention. =) |

I was going to make a joke about the emptiness of WarCry, too... :P
You're right, of course. I think we've all played games online before that have a tiny community (for me it was Age of Mythology and Homeworld 2) but still this small amount of people are really loyal and genuinely nice. Still, when your gaming audience is already concentrated around one or two major fansites then the community generally manages itself and people in Critters' position only provide support, not authority. I bet she genuinely enjoyed her job, though. There certainly must be a difference between dealing with the same regulars on the forums and having to put up with influxes of thousands of players a day, having to moderate every single one. |
| Ain't that true :)
I recall in the last days of Auto Assault (which I weathered personally,) how we marveled at the rare scene of newcomers, popping ingame and on the forum. It's a law of nature to see groups sympathizing and falling upon each other when their existence is threatened. MMOs are a wonderful proof of that. |
