Maybe something like EVE's CSM might help. Or not. Still rather interesting thing to pull right now.

I like the idea and don't hear too often game developers willing to speak and get direct input about a game.

You naysayers though need to make up your minds. Several threads state how upset you guys are about BW not listening but your upset when they want you to talk to them.

They should pay for this or give some sort of voucher just like they would a adviser. They will make money off the advice they give won't they?

But I guess they feel like they are some sort of "star" and are giving them the privileged face time to lesser people.

This.

You either want to help make this game succeed, or you want to continue crying into your cheerios. Whichever it is, make up your mind.

I truly can't believe that people are aghast at the idea they would have to pay for their own travel arrangements.

I somehow doubt that, too much 'socialism' not enough Glenn Beck.

Again, some effort to include European players would be nice. A separate summit session would be ideal - a small number (5 or 10?) funded places for Europeans to travel over would perhaps wind up being a cheaper alternative.

I think this is a great idea.. nice to see BW opening up yet another avenue for receiving feedback from the playerbase!


edit.. for those curious about EU representation.. Stephen Reid just said this over on Twitter:

We have already invited a significant number of guilds from all over the world, btw. We have plenty of EU representation.
Mal: Well look at this, appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us?
Zoe: Big Damn Heroes, Sir.
Mal: Ain't we just.

Here is the bigger issue, for those that are selected, you are making them pay for all travel, food, and lodging; yet, because it is invite only, they won't know until they are selected, meaning that they'll not be able to look for the best price. If it was voluntary, then yeah, I could see that, and I could've bought cheap tickets and reserved my hotel today, but the closer you get, the more expensive things become.

So they reach out to Guild Leaders in order to foster communication with the player base and they still get bashed? I have been a critic of BW's communication, but I see this as a nice step forward. Is it going to be perfect to everyone? No. But BW doesn't even have to try to hold events like this. I think this is a big positive.

I truly can't believe that people are ignorant of the fact what it would cost, $2000+ for me, to fly out to Texas.

Let me take a wild guess, you have either a well paying job, live in America or are just trolling. Which is it?
