Black Talon
Oh boy, where to even begin seriously...
I've literally been running/working on RO servers for a good 4+ years now. Long histroy indeed, but not all parts of that history are necessarily good.
Everything from the very first day that I walked into Prontera to answering the latest support tickets are all part of that history. There have been some really good times, (I'm sure a lot of the "veterans" who have been with me for years will know what I'm talking about) and some ugly times as well (many of you probaby know/remember some "incidents" that put us all through some tough times).
Regardless of whether this history I speak of had good or bad times, they're all quintessential parts that add up to everyone's experience, including my own. All that experience is what makes TalonRO what it is today.
Whether it's the talented GM team that currently provides our players with the best RO experience or the robust community that defines TalonRO and provides it with vitality, we're all part of one big family here. The RO experience begins with that fellowship that bonds us all together.
Your experience on TalonRO is only limited to what you want to make of it. History is defined by combining those experiences and sharing them with others. Impossible truly is nothing here.
Welcome to TalonRO.
GM Faith
Creative Director huh? Sounds like a fancy title...
Lets look at the definition of the role...
"The main aspect of this role is to initiate and stimulate creative ideas for and from everyone involved in the creative process."
Yep, sure sounds like a fancy title, but one that completely defines what I do for TalonRO.
TalonRO is the end product of years of creative development by everyone involved, It is my dream; And one that is finally being realized! Whilst Black Talon is the server host and main developer and the server bears his name, I am one of the main driving force behind how TalonRO works.
99% of the work I do for the server will go completely unnoticed until projects are finished and launched for your enjoyment and believe me when I tell you that every aspect of TalonRO has had my divine influence ;) Of course, I am nothing without the rest of the GM team, to whom I owe everything in the world.
I am not an artist, nor am I a programmer, But through the efforts of the whole team we are able to present you with what I genuinely believe is the best server in the world. That may sound arrogant, but it is simply this passion for the server that the GM team shares that allows us to present you with TalonRO.
GM Boreas
In army lol, brb
GM Shiris
Well hello there!
Defining my job is a little difficult; I'm a bit of a Peco-of-all-trades. One day, I might be bouncing ideas around with Faith before he develops a new content proposal. The next day, I might be running through the scripts and source to help Boreas squash a bug or test a new feature. Still the next, I may be brainstorming with Seiren for the next big event.
All the while, I'll be wandering around in the shadows and out in the open in-game, getting an up-close feel for how our changes and updates are affecting the gameplay and our community. That means you guys!
In short, I'm a go-between -- a liaison, basically -- and your go-to Peco for anything staff-related. If you don't know where to go with a question or problem, go to me! Either I'll know how to help right offhand, or I'll be able to point you in the direction of who can instead.
Communication is important for all parts of a server and its players, and I try my best to make sure the lines are open for all of us. But whatever you do, just don't ask me to get MSN Messenger! ;)
GM Seiren
Let's see...I haven't been on the GM team as long as the others, but I do share the same dedication to make TalonRO even better than it already is.
As a long-time regular player I always thought up ways to help the server in any way I could. Now that I am a GM, more capabilities to reach my goals are available.
My tasks on the server are "Artist/Designer, Forum/IRC Moderation, Events". This means I design/create majority of the art content of TalonRO, including the design of the website that you are looking at right now. So if you don't like it, you can blame me for it.
In-game, I do various things. I try to do events on a daily basis, answer questions from players, and many other things.
Being in close contact with the community of the server is a key part in making a great server. That's what I do, that's what the other GMs do. And that's what I believe makes TalonRO so great.
