Does someone remember Katricia?

She was the only Community Manager for World of Warcraft till July of the last year and she was also doing a good work for what it was possible. Then she left for no apparent reason and I never found any other information about where she landed, or about the reason why she decided to leave. Did she dance with Caydiem? (Caydiem came to WoW from Horizon, you know. Check the note near the end of the link)

Some more informations come from an habitue of Corpnews. An unconfirmed rumor but that I really have no reasons to doubt about. It comes as a comment to the drama of the last days that is worth archiving in its entirety.

J.:
Somewhere, Aracnakat (or Katrice or whatever) is giggling to herself.

Faust:
She doesn’t know about it… or she doesn’t care. I’ve been grouping with her and her Hubby every night this week and there’s been no mention of it. Speaking of great mysteries, there isn’t one there either. Her husband got a job requiring relocation, she went with him.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch… I’ll give you an alternate viewpoint on the whole thing: I’ve been playing online games for nye on an eon now (yadda yadda yadda) and I have yet to see a game where somebody who knows somebody didn’t get juiced by the Dev’s/GM’s in one way or another. Maybe it’s Beta Accounts, Little Upgrades, a little hint here or there, or tickets to the E3 party. Maybe its a little bit of inside info which points people toward an unreleased objective. Or even just paying a little more attention to their observations about gameplay and using those opinions to allocate resources. All “special treatment”.

And ya know what? It’s OK. It’s perfectly fine. It is not a big deal. These people are more than paying customers.

That said, I must admit that the reason it’s OK is that situations like this one blow way out of proportion and keep it all in check… so I guess that’s OK too. Anyone getting overly excited about it is a lamer.

uh… you know, like making a front page article about it (?)
