DC*MMO wants your feedback.

The only way we can improve is if you guys tell us how. =)  What did we do right?  What can we do better?  What do you want to see next year that you didn't this year? (Don't bother saying Guild Wars 2... It's already on next year's schedule.)

If you have comments or concerns that you would rather not post publicly, you can reach me on the "Contact Us" page on http://mmo.dragoncon.org.

Thanks again for a wonderful Dragon*Con 2012!

just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the SWTOR panel :) though it would have been nice to have more than one panelist (not that I had a problem with the one that was there, I just think it would have been easier on him and slightly better with more than one person up there)

Heh... It's been a long time since I "flew solo" on a panel and now I remember why I don't care for the experience. We had another panelist lined up, but due to a last minute scheduling snafu, we had to improvise. Hopefully, I won't have to do any more panels on my own like that again for a long time.

I didn't go to any of your panels since I don't play MMOs for the most part, but I was a little sad that the only Diablo 3 panel for the whole weekend was at 10am Friday (which was a conflict for me). I wish there had been at least one more for conflicts and day pass attendees, the game being a big and controversial release just a few months ago. I guess it probably won't matter much for next year when it's old news though. Maybe next year it would fall to the VG track (though their panels seemed more industry-aimed than your track's)?

Sadly, we only had so many hours in the weekend. We didn't know that Jonathan LeCraft was coming down for Dragon*Con until the very last possible minute. The Friday @ 10:00 AM slot was the only thing I could bump in order to make room for D3.

I think you're right about the focus of our track versus the new Video Gaming track. We focus more on fan meet-ups and social events, and they focus more on the behind the scenes stuff. I think that having both gives a little something for everyone. Do you guys think we should go "more technical"? or do you like the "more social" aspects of our track?

Clarification: I didn't mean to sound all "wahhh, you didn't change this for me!" I just meant that I was surprised there wasn't more than one panel devoted to D3. :)

I think it would be great if you revisited your relationship with Froggy Photography. There are problems with them year after year and nothing seems to ever change. I'm sure there are more professional photographers out there that would love to come to Dragon*Con. Maybe then people would get their pics w/o having to chase the company all over the internet and beg so they'd get what they paid for.

My track has no relationship of any kind with Froggy. You need to hit up the chairman for that. (contact info is on the website)

Sorry ... I missed that this was for a specific track ...

I was really bummed you did not have the WoW dark-fair moon event this year. It was a great family friendly event in 2011. Please bring it back!

Thanks for the CoH/V Meet and Greet, even if it had a low turnout thanks in large part to the news we got about CoX on Thursday. We really appreciated the chance to see everyone, regardless.

Although game specific panels are great, I'd like to see some more general MMO panels dealing with trends, state of the industry, subscription vs. F2p. and other nuts and bolts on the business. Also perhaps a panel dealing with long gone MMOs.

[grimthorn.livejournal.com]

We kind of go back and forth on "Game Specific" vs "Industry" panels from year to year. Last year, we had a lot of panels like "Guild Management", "Fails and Flops" and so on. This year was a little more game-centric. We have a panel on the economics of F2P games as well as a "MMO Graveyard" panel tentatively planned for next year already. =)

We're continuing to tweak the WoW meetup as it has been very hit or miss in the last few years.

Well... right now we aren't doing anything as I'm taking a 30 self-imposed moratorium on all things Dragon*Con. However, when October comes around...

I really enjoyed the Guild cast (that was your track right?) Hope the full cast returns next year :)

How about opening the costume contest to other MMOs? (Sorry if it already is, I was put off by the name) Especially with Guild Wars 2 out, you might get some Sylvari next year.
