I doubt he'd be gone. It seems like Turbine is doing some staff-shuffling, what with 404error going from QA to running Mournlands and Jerry being hired. I know of one other from-the-community hire they've done recently as well.


Could be he's just on vacation, too.


And if he got fired, then I honestly feel bad for him, despite my not agreeing with everything he's done or said. It's a bad time to be jobless - I know. 


/shrug
I'm hardly playing the game anymore, and find the politics of it all getting beyond dull. If he's fired, there will just be somebody else to replace him. He ascended to Q's throne, after all. If not, then at least it's a devil we know.



You haven't received your tinfoil hat yet Memnir.  It should be arriving any day... along with mine, I suppose.   Grin

He may have just resigned. He might have gotten fed up with all the shit we fucks were throwing at him and just said, "Fuck it. I quit!"

I never had a problem with Tarrant personally, he certainly never did anything to me, but unfortunately he also never did a damn thing for me either, which is why if he is actually gone I will be doing the Happy Dance, hoping he is replaced with somone who actually does their job.

Over the year and some I have played, I have PMed or mailed Tarrant 3-4 times with various problems/concerns. Now the part that pisses me off is that I might as well wrote it on toilet paper each time and then wiped my ass with it.

Not once over a year did I get any sort of reply from him, not even a short "Not my problem, contact department x" if it was outside his area. Just totally ignored all together.

After the n'th time of being outright ignored, I just stopped trying to get any sort of help or reply from him. At least with e-mailing DDO customer service, they may be as slow as the 2d coming, but at least they occasionally reply which is an improvment over any services Tarrant ever offered.

I've found Tolero is much better about replying to PMs in general. Tho Tarrant seems most apt to reply when you argue about his infractions, to just say "tough shit"  Roll Eyes

DDO Search still shows his last post as Oct 29th so there is still hope he was canned.

Well, hopefully after the mabar banhammer, WB will clean house of these monkies!
  

Turbine is a company, not your friend.

If a company you have been loyal to suddenly changes their product so that it either is worse or not even working any more then only a complete fool would continue to patronize them.

Business only understands one thing, the bottom line.

The posters above who have a delusional perception of their relationship with Turbine seem to be suffering from Stockholm syndrome.

No, I don't think so. If he was back I suspect he would have been the one to post this instead of Tolero:

Tolero is handling this because we all already hate Tarrant enough. Have to spread the hate around. Of course that's what the Cube forum account is for.

I really really really hope Jerry doesn't have to deal with the forums. I'd really dislike it if I started to have to hate Jerry like I hate Tarrant.

I like how Stainer had to start a new thread on this subject rather than add to Arkat's.
