Lonecap.4105 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I have a bad feeling in my stomach as I write this post and notice the forum's own Gaile Gray hasn't posted in a week now. Is our community manager still with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanok.3027 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 All kidding aside, she's probably just busy. I doubt she'll be let go as that would be a community nightmare for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steki.1478 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 She posted in ele sub forum 6 months ago, we've been wondering the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erasculio.2914 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Same here. I have a massive respect for Gaile, she has always done the best she could in her job. I hope she's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSin.5682 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 If she doesn't have an official statement of the company regarding the current issues she can't communicate with us either.Its common standard practice to only communicate with the client when everything is resolved internally. You are bound to create a chaos/confusion in communication otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are bound to create a chaos/confusion in communication otherwise..... is exactly what she could have said.My point stands tough. After this post all developers posts in the foruns have completely stopped.Everyone is probably forbidden to post anything until a final position is decided.That said, this is weird. I am so used to see ANET posting around these foruns that 2 days without communication is already making me worried.That come a long way from other games I played the devs would post once every 2 weeks._.

Tanith.5264 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 It's the weekend. Unless there's an emergency, I don't expect to see any more official postings from Anet until Monday at the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 She could also be away. I've seen on Twitter a few Anet devs have been away recently (including Rubi), and this news seems to have come along quite suddenly for everyone at Anet so it's possible she thought it'd be fine to be gone for a few days without arranging for someone to cover because there's nothing major coming up in that time.

Healix.5819 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 They've likely been told not to say anything until the official post is made on Monday. Gaile was here a few hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trise.2865 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Let's not be given to panic. If something that important changes, they will write up a blog post about it (both thanking Gaile and introducing the new CM/s, at the very least). The dust hasn't even settled yet; it's far too soon to assume everyone we know is "dead". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Give them some time to sort things out and the digest the bad news.Gaile has been with AranaNet when it was much smaller, in the GW1 days. Of course this guarantees nothing, except that she has been of value to the company and the community as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaralyna.3104 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 She is probably very busy behind the scenes... She is always the one communicating most things to us players and since there is a lot to be discussed on what needs communicating and how behind the scenes I imagine... (and no im not just pointing at the layoff situation). I just hope the publishing merge won't mean we will have to miss both Gaile and Rubi in the future (and the ones behind the screen helping them with it). They both are a very warm and welcome sight on the forums and the live streams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a game. Get out, enjoy new foods, meet new people, play boardgames with people in person, go hiking. Anything really. I enjoy this game a lot, but it's just a part of a varied and enjoyable life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted February 24, 2019 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hey folks,Thanks for asking about my well-being. I assure you I'm fine. I have been out of town on vacation, and not really able to interact on the forums at this time (poor connectivity, I don't do well typing on my phone :blush: , etc.). The mod team is on duty and I'm keeping up with them from time to time, so all's well in that regard.I will be back in the office on Monday and look forward to talking to you soon.Edited: Because I am really, really bad at texting on an iPhone.
