AFAIK he got promoted, and now controls his own minions to send, saving his own presence for more worthy causes.

No. AFAIK he leads the ISD team and more, and I guess he have the same problems keeping the ISD team in leash as the Mod team having the problems keeping the forums under control 
TBH I am not completely sure what he does. Checked Kieron to see if he got any signatures to trace his whereabouts, but to no avail. Only trace: ISD HQ.
He might be locked away on a Icelandic Azylum though. WOuld not suprise me at all after all the time he have spent on these forums..

It's all T1, oh, there was an Ibis but it aspoloded due to an unforseen database error that caused it to turn into a chicken curry.
This was of course merely a stealth nerf introduced to encourage new players to go play WoW.

He's alive and kicking. 
He and ISD were at the last Los Angeles player get-together, about two months ago.
He was also wearing a WoD Dev Team t-shirt. 
Talked about all kinds of neat EVE stuffs, such as...
1) The scoop on Factional Warfare, which included
2) All kinds of infos on Ambulation, right down to

Do you know the worst thing with devs being promoted? That often leaves us in the dark.
After all the time they have spent on the forums they have become a important part of the community, and when they go missing (ie promoted) a vital part of it (ie the community) goes missing

Sorry to say, Kieron was not promoted. He was terminated, about a month ago. Don't know why. He hasn't posted since Feb 8th, 2008. That's about the time he was let go.
Kieron's Last Posts
I imagine we'll never know why he was let go, as that's an internal CCP matter. But, I WOULD like to know why the head liaison from CCP to their customers was released from service, with no notice to us, and no replacement in site. Considering the irony that it's his posting that tell you "all you need to know about Eve", it'd be nice to know what happened to his replacement.
CCP: care to comment? How about naming his replacement?

Originally by: sableye amd how do you know he was terminated?
Let's just say, I know. It's that whole friend of his friend thing. Now, I know a lot of people will come in and scream "Proof or STFU", "Pics or it didn't happen", "Post with your main!", and stuff like that. Whatever. Believe me or don't believe me, that doesn't matter.
What DOES matter is CCP's response. We all know Kieron reads the boards, (but hasn't posted in 1.5 months now), so, one of two things will happen from this:
1) Kieron is alive and well. He'll read this, post, and I'll be eating humble pie. (Truth be told, I hope I am wrong. I'd rather look like an ass about this than Kieron not be here.)
2) Kieron won't reply. I'm not saying anyone at CCP will either, but, he won't.
While I hope like hell I'm dead wrong, knowing the source I do, I'm not. Which is a shame on two fronts.
First, because I'll miss Kieron. He WAS the liaison between CCP and us pod pilots, and he was a damned good one. Did he always get it right? No. Did he always do his best to be open and fair? I belive so. He answered out questins and gripes, and did so quickly. He didn't always please everyone, but hey, who can?
Second, because as the CCP liaison, WE should have been informed of his removal. Not jsut because he was Kieron, but because that's an important posting in the CCP hierarchy. Who would you direct your questions/comments/gripes/conspiracy theories to now? I sure don't know, do you?
So, while some people, (ok, all of you), are going to question the legitimacy of my claim, I'd rather let CCP prove me wrong.

I hope he wasnt terminated. And now im kicking myself wondering why i waited so long to ask.
Kieron was probably the last olive branch between ccp and the community. The devs just dont have the pressence they used to and i miss it. When i first started eve oveur was answering my quesitons in the help channel, i mean what the **** happened CCP? I know youve grown, but has that made you abandon your community =\ Stop using community in your ads if your gunna just tell us to sod off and fire one of the best people ive ever had the pleasure of working with on the interwebs.

Edited by: Wrayeth on 25/03/2008 07:41:57 There are actually quite a few devs who haven't posted in some time. For instance, when was Oveur's last post? TomB? Tuxford, even?
EDIT: Okay, so I just did some checking, and Oveur actually just posted a couple days ago...for the first time in about four months. I expect he's too busy with work and family commitments to post much these days, but I feel that's a great loss to the community. -Wrayeth n00b Extraordinaire "Look, pa!

I spoke with Kieron in person at the Los Angeles Player's Gathering. By what I heard, he is involved in a eloborate project that CCP is working on.
I doubt he has been let go. I think it's more along the lines that he's become very involved in the project and has been delegating duties to other members of the ISD team.

Last posts: T20 Oveur Wrangler Tuxford TomB (OK, I'll grant you, TomB is MIA. I just don't have info on him.)
Kieron <rant> Why is it that even though TomB hasn't posted for almost a year, he gets 15 results, and Kieron only gets 5 search hits? Can we PLEASE fix the friggin search engine CCP? </rant>

Wasn't that two months ago? i.e. before his job status change as I understand it? Not gonna help.
Like I said, if he's still employed by CCP, this would bring him out of the woodwork long enough to post a response. But like I also said before, I seriously doubt you're gonna see one.
Dang, now I feel bad that no one's asked about TomB.

You must be talking about a different Kieron, the one I had in my email box was most unlikeable and sorely lacking in intelligence.
I think it is quite possible that "kieron" is a job, not a particular person. And that goes for any "CCP Whatever".

Kieron used to be heavily involved with ISD and now with Ginger taking over that at least tells us that Kieron is no longer doing what he used to.
As for why we haven't seen TomB around for a long while, he was transfered to China and is now head Dev there or something iirc.

Hi Topic Readers,
Thank you for contacting customer support. We are sorry to hear about your Kieron loss. Unfortunately we are unable to reimburse the Kieron as our server-side logs do not indicate that a bug/error within the game or a server related problem was the reason for your loss. Our reimbursement policies are very strict and we can only reimburse if we are able to verify that a bug or server error caused the loss. We hope that you understand our position and that you will recover swiftly from the loss.
Best Regards, ** ----- EVE Online Customer Support

Hate to say I told you so, but, so far, "I told you so".
At least CCP responded to the "Where's Wrangler?" thread. Still no Blue or Red bars on this one.
Still also massively ****ed off at the lack of "Here's your new liaison!" announcement.

He and ISD were at the last Los Angeles player get-together, about two months ago.
He was also wearing a WoD Dev Team t-shirt. 
Talked about all kinds of neat EVE stuffs, such as...

Kieron's a cool cat. Would be nice to see him on the forums more often, though.

Still no dev responses. That's ominous.
You'd expect at least some acknowledgement one way or another of his status as a CCP employee even if there are no details. The continuing silence will just feed the conspiracy theorists out there and cause distrust.

Something to note: I do remember last I talked to him about working on the other CCP project (game), but it may have been just generic CCP employee chatter.
Either way, he was a good guy, I was unfortunate not to have too many encounters with the CCP team when I got ingame, but eve has gone down hill imo.

Maybe his departure wasn't amicable, maybe he got fed up with the way the community reacted after every patch and the increased hostility on the forums as a result of bad QA. People can only take so much whinage, and maybe he blew up at CCP and told them to cop the $%ú* on and then got fired.
Its nearly the one month anniversary of Trinity 1.1 and we are still dealing with FPS and Overview window issues.

Who's gonna replace Kieron?
Has anyone consulted the The Council of Stellar Management thread?
Maybe that position is going into an experimental stage with in-game politics and such. (Sure the Message Boards need seperate management, but isnt EVE itself the reason these boards are here?) 
As provided here:

Originally by: ResumT
Originally by: Kieron
Director of Community Relations - EVE Online CCP Games
(Privately Held; 201-500 employees; Computer Games industry)
June 2007 ù February 2008 (9 months)
Upper management for the EVE Online Community Relations Group, liaison between the player community and the development team, providing oversight, support and guidance as necessary.
Seems to me that CCP wants the implementation of The Council of Stellar Management to provide a more interactive and accurate way to communicate possible game changes etc.
Perhaps CCP wants to replace the player/developer liaison role with a type of senate/parliament of in-game players all interested in gathering and presenting the most common ideas for changing the game and addressing issues.
Maybe Kieron's role became obsolete?
(I never met Kieron and Im only going off what Ive seen in the forums. But I think it makes sense. Do correct me if Im wrong. [factually that is])

The last 2 years ive seen the eve community for through changes for the worse, im just so ****ed off right now. I promised id never rant on the forums but once you realize a game studio that once loved its community jsut toss us out it really ****es ya off, ya know?

I tried to be subtle in my last post within this thread.
In my conversation with Kieron (in person) somethings were suggested that he was working on the World of Darkness.
If you read the resume, it is properly formated for the positions he has held within CCP. It does not prove that he has left CCP or that the resume has been updated to reflect his new position.
Relax.

Think about it people, if he had moved to another position in CCP, they would have said something like "Has accepted PositionXYZ on the World of Darkness team.". Typically, if they resign in a friendly manner, they say something like "has resigned, effective XXX. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.". When a person is fired, the best you get is "Has left, the person taking over his position is XYZ"

Damn right. From what I read of Kieron, he was a fair-minded person with very strong convictions. I'm willing to bet he was let go due to irreconcilable differences of opinion but we'll never know (nor should we).
One question still remains, though. If Wrangler is the new Kieron, who's the new Wrangler?

Actually, when our first Community Manager left it was not announced unless I'm mistaken, we might have announced that we had a new one but don't think we had a goodbye thread. When I was hired at CCP the only announcement was that my character got the Dev badge on the forums. When I took over as Community Manager and kieron became Director of Community the only announcement made was that we put our new titles in our signatures, in fact it was several months before I "inherited" the Community badge instead of the Dev badge. When our first Community Manager returned to CCP it was not announced either.
Quite frankly we almost never announce people joining or leaving the club.
I've noticed some people post less than nice things here and in other threads and while we look to the future we also miss kieron and if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.

I understand the reasoning behind not tellung us about every new employee, as it doesnt really concern us. However, since kieron was, and you are, the person in charge of the community, and we are the community, it would be nice to at least know whats going on when something changes and who our contact person is.

No more Kieron? 
Just going to echo a few thoughts from above. Sure, it's not possible (nor practical) to announce every single coming & going. But not even annoucing an introduction for a new community director/manager? You know... the person who personally interacts with the community?
Having the community eventually have to find out for itself makes the whole position seem a bit... faceless.

The forums certainly arent has fun as they used to be =\ i miss when the devs were always making quips in threads and the mods were entertaining.
I miss when the forums were worth reading.
Seems we swapped devs for ********s and the results have ground the fun out of the job of moderating.
Never mind next year it will be worse so enjoy the good times. -

Sorry to see you leave Kieron. You were always a paragon of justice and spokesman on the part of the playerbase.
Also I find it a bit odd that it should take a thread and 3 weeks of silence before the newly appointed community manager steps up and mentions his new role. This -IS- the community - after all.

Originally by: Valeo Galaem Simpler question: Can you say (even vaguely) the reason for his leaving?
Frankly, that information would be between he and CCP, and is none of anyone else's business.
Exactly, if I left CCP I would consider it a matter between me and CCP and no one else and we're extending kieron the same courtesy.
CCP had a really good man with kieron and he did a fine job. At least a goodbye statement would be in order (the reasons for leaving are of course a private matter).
And also it was not just some employee but the head of community related things. Wouldn't be it at least the minimum of CCP to open a thread and inform the community about the change, introduce the new person and allow the community to thank kieren for the good job he did in the past? And if CCP and kieron parted with disagreements it still would be only right to inform the community of the change.
Strange behaviour. Even more strange that people think this behaviour is all fine.
Best luck kieron, was a good time as long as it lasted I guess. And good luck to his successor as well!

It's perfectly normal behaviour. I know in the UK a company cannot and will not discuss the departure or in some cases even the employment status full stop, of an (ex) employee.
It is between CCP and Kieron. We have no right to know anything other than the Community Manager position is now in the hands of someone else.
Kieron, you will be missed, I'm sad that you've left. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do in the future. -- Ralara / Ralarina |

Edited by: Le Skunk on 11/04/2008 10:30:41 Kieron was my snout on the inside of CCP. He was assisting me in my investigations over the mysterious disapearence of the "New Player Experience" people from eve tv.
We were so close to finding the truth.
The last I heard from him he was talking about a man in a top hat, gas coming through his keyhole, and a giant white inflatable ball.
Now we have another mystery. And I must begin the painstaking work of de programming another CCP employee.
This is a dire setback for truth and the american way.

I can only remember one departure, which was handled in a good way (by himself): Garthagk. It would be great if more Devs (and specially Community Devs) could leave in such a great manner. They don¦t have to tell us the reason for leaving the company (who would tell, if you got sacked or if you switch to Blizzard?), but a message to the community is really a great gesture.

You have to spin every bad thing hoping that we, the blithering murderous idiots, accept it without going to Iceland with pitchforks and stakes.
It's a lose-lose situation I guess. Kieron, I hope you're allright, still playing the game and are having fun in it.

Unless I'm mistaken, everyone knew Pann was leaving well before she left and she even came by IRC to say goodbye, and I seem to recall a forum thread, but good luck finding that.
Quote: [...] and if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.
yeaaaaah I'm pretty sure paying customers have the right to express an opinion, so here's mine: I never liked the dude, always found him [edit:] "roostery" (stupid word filter), rude, and completely unable to admit when he was utterly wrong (and he self-clowned on threads about game mechanics more than once). That said, when the point guy for a company's communication with their customer base gets fired, quits, whatever, and that company doesn't make some kind of public statement but waits until the issue is raise by their consumers, that company is managed poorly and has seriously flawed customer service.
Man, you guys are racking up the yellow cards lately.

I have to say that a thread of leaving is definately called for in a situation like this. It wouldn't matter who it was that started the thread and it shouldn't contain reasons for the splitting of ways. But letting the community know when their representitive is leaving and being changed is definately the way to handle things.

It is difficult job. Being the go between between the devs and the players. You have to put up with the BS from both sides. It is why most community managers of forums don't last more than a couple of years at most. Kieron's tenure is probably one of the longer ones I can think of. (Thunderheart might have served as long for SWG when he left not sure though).

Quite frankly we almost never announce people joining or leaving the club.

When Pann left it was, well lets say it politely, not unexpected. But Kieron did a good job imho and I think because he worked as a community manager he should have as least say goodbye just because of his strong connection with the community. The fact that he did not do that makes me think that he left without him willing to leave.

The messages of farewell to kieron in this thread prove that the community is alive and well, and that people want/need to know what happens to those we identify with within it. Take the "Innominate Nightmare" experience; we were left hanging with a question mark over our heads and huge efforts were made to find out what happened to the character. I know you can't force someone to write a goodbye note, but if we knew at least that someone had gone to pastures new, that would be a form of closure.
I've mentioned before, I would like to see a section on the left hand side for our community team, so we could click and see a list of who's who. It fosters the feeling of inclusion within the community. There could be a section for new joiners and leavers and what their roles are in regard to us.
It doesn't take much to keep everyone feeling happy and 'in the loop'. I know there's a sticky up top for Devs to announce themselves, but I don't feel that it does the job properly.

kieron did a lot of things in a manner which I think better served the community than some ongoing trends. *sighs* Someone else noted that it seems like all the people who made Eve what it is have left, and I'm really started to empathize...I've been around since almost the beginning, and there are precious few of us left - the game has gone so far from what it was.

Quite frankly we almost never announce people joining or leaving the club.
Pann wasn't fired, though, she moved positions within CCP and is still working with you.
Looks like NCSoft just gained a major asset. I'm going to mail them and let them know just what kind of a gem they picked up.
Actually as far as im aware, Pann left and then returned into a differant position... ________________ DarkAngelBattalion - Officer
