CCP bringing back EVE's volunteer moderator program

@Nenene Seems legit

@Nenene

Haha, so true.
They need a volunteer CEO.

@Nef

Go tell that to the people who have to write up new resumes

It is terrible that the WoD team took lay offs, however those people have already *been* in the games industry and gained experience and resume material for it. Once you're in an industry it's easier to find more work within it.

This *could* give people *outside* the industry a chance at getting in. That's bad?

@NeF

No what your saying makes sense. Lets let people get experience in a part of the industry that got you to work for free and laid off people who were doing the secure and stable volunteer job you were doing. Here is a better way to get into the gaming industry... crack open a book on coding. Either become self taught or go to school for it. I am sure that is more helpful then working for free in a postion they used to have to pay people for. Also WoD didnt take the biggest hit. The biggest hit was to actual EVE online commnity workers.

I haven't seen where EVE's community workers took the biggest hit, if you have a link to a press release stating that I would be interested to see. From the past press release they mentioned that WoD would continue development with 'a significantly reduced team' which would lead me to believe they took the biggest hit -- also, most of the positions were lost at their Atlanta office (also where White Wolf is located).

And as to the learning coding to get into the games industry... you do realize there are far more positions in the games industry than coding? Volunteer work as moderators can lead to further opportunities working in Q&A, other community positions, various office positions, etc. Depending on the volunteer's skills set and past work experience/education, of course.

@(Unverified) That seems legit enough
