Thank you DW, but that Discord AMA was (is) a mess....

All the questions and answers are available in text format in the Discord? The place the AMA originally took place? I could just copy/paste them into a Notepad file for you if you don't like Discord?

It was done in text format, not video or audio. And yes, they said they'd post it somewhere

I don't think this is a question the devs would be qualified to answer, that would be down to those at the top who manage the budgets.

Someone sent me the Discord text. I will make it available for everyone soon.

Edited slightly to remove jokes, improve formatting, etc. Further editing in progress.

I liked it (minus the spelling out of stuff in emojis nonsense), thank you Dreamweaver and the rest of the team.

Ok absor.

Yea, because it's the only RP server...

Just a quick thought or drive-by comment as I re-read the replies (was half awake this morning)...

Perhaps, can make an AMA thread again, and email a dev or the whole dev team a question each work day at either first thing in the morning, or last thing at end of day (for them to answer the next day) and that won't overwhelm it. It'd be no different than a typical work email... and whatever answer(s) you get back you post here.

Like the trivia thing in Newbie Corner. Like a "Today's answer from a Dev!" where each question/answer is its own actual thread for people to comment or debate on. Just a thought, and I know you don't need any arm-chair quarterbacks. Again thank you.

You have gotten to this way quicker than me! Thank you for all your effort!

I am working on similar ideas, and more always help, don't feel bad for making suggestions, ever.

And what of the darn emojis? Death to Emojis! Death to Emojis!

Maybe it was the formatting that you were sent but the names & quotes are out of synch on your document.

A tale of in three acts:

Absor: Well, to be fair only a few people are asking for [FV TLP], they are just doing so with an admirable frequency...

Lets get a show of hands, who would play on Free Trade TLP?

Thank you for your efforts. I checked your transcript but, as Skuz said, the names are off.

Most quotes look fine but wrong names may throw context off.

It's often how you achieve something that matters more.

Straight up polls are not allowed, there are good reasons for that.

Achieving an effective show of hands by way of engagement, debating the question being done by a large number of different players will achieve the desired visibility, but that will probably require a lot more coordination & effort, indirect metrics.

Thank you so much for doing this!

If you were going to follow the wildly popular and brilliant game design to it's conclusion the answer is obvious. You offer a cosmetic item that they can wear in upcoming seasons.

I love to see the devs interacting more directly with the community. I realize this does take time and effort on your side to set up, curate the questions and answers and takes Dev time away from work and/or family (especially right now). So than you everyone for doing that.

I would love to see something a bit more regular. Every other month, once a quarter, something like that, with possibly a way to use them to support fan sites (e.g., EQ Resource hosts it next time).

Oooh That answer definitely came from Pip though, I am not sure Prathun is that cruel.
