Why did daniel erickson and george zoeller leave tor?

/facepalm It's near Mists of Pandaria release. In fact well before it. 500 employess

Allen Adham started Blizzard WITH Morhaime. Was the lead designer on World of Warcraft HE LEFT just after World of Warcraft launched. Like I said very few people stay with a company unless they are in charge.


So there you go the LEAD DESIGNER of WORLD OF WARCRAFT and one of the 3 founding members of Blizzard entertainment. LEFT JUST AFTER WOW LAUNCHED.

The reason EA is rated the worse company is because of butt hurt fanbois. You have to be crazy to think a VIDEO game company is worse then Bank of America, Halliburton, or Black Water.


edit: Oh here you go an article from 2004 stating MANY of the cofounders of Blizard have left

/sigh ... ok (A) 1 guy leaving shortly after WoWs release is no where near comparable to whats gone on with Bioware recently. Nor is 4 other dudes picking up and leaving over a year before WoW released. I never said devs arent let go or resign on their own now and then but the sudden unemployment of pretty much every known face in SWTOR including the founders themselves is obviously EAs doing. Specially when its developers who were incredibly enthusiastic about the game every step of they way. That happens when the suits call in the "Bobs" (yes, Office Space reference) who start wrecking years of hard work with their cash grabs, and laying people off to save the EA "Lumburg's" a penny.

That is part of the reason why EA gets worse company ... for its shady practices and horrible treatment of its employees and customers alike. It was voted worst by a poll at The Consumerist, not a video game centric site where "butt hurt fanbois" of EA would generally visit. Not the first time it earns the title either.

(B) Dont really need the PMs .... thanks. (o_O)

blah blah blah

I'm a software engineer by profession and while I don't do game programming it seems inconceivable that anyone would code something like an MMO without planning well into the future and that would include putting hooks, textures, etc in the current code to support the planned additions. Or did you think they just finish coding a game like SWOTR or WoW then sit around talking about what to do next? From my perspective that would be idiotic and make adding content much more difficult.

Yeh I know fleets instanced right from released, however on many servers there was just 1 instance per fleet, unlike the triple instances going around now.

We had 2 on my main server and maybe even 3 sometimes, however we're back to just 1 now after the intial F2P bubble.

we are not talking about 1 guy. We are talking bout the LEAD DESIGNER AND COFOUNDER OF WOW LEAVING AS THE GAME LAUNCHED.

He wasn't the only one. Lots of the developers left WoW after launch. Which is why you saw a HUGE shift from 40 man raids to BC and the end game there. In fact after EVERY expansion developers leave, lead developers. As they do their big addition to WoW they move on to other products.

Umm yes the Consumerist (a blog btw which anyone could vote multiple times) poll came out just after ME3 launched and fanbois were hurt about the ending.

look at what it beat out? Sallie Mae? A company that gives student loans which are all but impossible to repay. EA is an entertainment company. No one forces you to buy their products. They don't put you in debt for the rest of your life like the banks up there.

It's because of the Fanbois that the consumerist removed it's commenting system because it was plauged by people screaming over ME3's ending.

You honestly can't be that blind
