On Monday morning (March 19th), I’ll be stepping into the role of Manager of Community Services here at OSI. In doing so, I’ll be following in the footsteps of two pretty amazing and talented people - LadyMOI, who created the Online Community Relations group here and helped lead the group to becoming fully integrated with the game teams, and Calandryll, who has been working with Cynthe and Gbob to expand our community to ORIGIN, while providing Melantus and I with the tools we needed to focus on Ultima Online.

Though much of my time has been spent behind-the-scenes in the last year and a half, I’ve had the fortune to work with many of you in my previous role as UO’s Web Content Supervisor - a task that allowed me to work on growing the UO website to support all aspects of the UO community. In my new role, I’ll be focused on supporting my team - which includes both community relations teams and the Events team - as they focus on the communities of Ultima Online, ORIGIN, and whatever new and exciting games lie in our future.

As for the immediate future? I’ll be reading your comments on our Message Boards, familiarizing myself with ORIGIN, exploring the new land of Third Dawn, working with Melantus to gather your opinions, and wrestling Calandryll’s laptop computer away from him by Monday.

I’m very excited to be given this opportunity, and I’m looking forward to helping my team work with all of you to keep the communities of UO and ORIGIN exciting, fun, interesting, and productive. The communities surrounding both games are already fantastic, but things can always be better, and I hope with your feedback and participation, we can bring about a great future.
