    The LOTRO community is going to be less lucky.

    Best luck to Ms. Owens and the other employees that lost their job. Always sad to hear when this happens.

    This gives me the impression that RoR didn't sell to WB's expectations. Too bad, it's actually a pretty impressive xpac.

    Oh, I so hope she reads this.

    Clover, you've been nothing short of fantastic. I guarantee that you'd have a ton of references here from us forum folk. You'll be missed. A ton. *huge hugs*

    I also sincerely hope that us as a player base will keep in mind that this will also be rough on those who remain and cut our lovely blue names some slack over the next few days. They'll be hurting, too.

    Quite so. Good luck with the job search, may this turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Having been fired after 20+ years (as part of several hundred people) because the company closed a facility and moved it to another state, I empathize with you. All the best your way.

    Clover,

    Much sympathy to you and all others affected. Layoffs are a truly horrendous thing, and you will be sorely missed on these forums. May luck follow you into your next venture.

    Don't know her, much.

    But...

    Layoffs suck, and the company should be ashamed. People need jobs or people no pay your bills. Disgusting all anybody cares about now is the bottom line.

    I believe it said Turbine has 400 employees and there was no word yet on how many of those 400 were laid off.

    Really awful timing on WB's part. Whatever the reason was for the layoffs, from a purely PR perspective people are absolutely going to think that these layoffs are a direct result of RoR's poor performance (regardless of how it has actually performed), which is a good way to hurt future sales.

    Sad to see anyone lose their job


    However I saw this coming the day they announced FTP, hell, I forsaw this the day they announced us EU players had to amalgamate with the US servers.

    The game isn't what it once was. It was a beautiful representation of Tolkiens dreams make whole.

    Now it is a money making machine hell bent on collecting every brass penny from gullible players across the globe.

    Good luck to all who sailed in her, but the SOS has been called and it's time to collect our belongings before the lifeboats are lowered.

    It was interesting that a few minutes before Account Management opened up the phone lines for telephone support, Turbine announced that phone support would not be available today. Phone support would resume at the regular 10 AM Eastern opening time on Friday.

    The phone lines close early at 4 PM, on Monday October 29, 2012 instead of the normal 9 PM.
