People have been complaining they don't have enough presence, so looks as if ZOS is saying put in your application where your mouth is is.

Still it's good news. Gina and Jessica work really hard and it's good to seeing them getting more help on the team.

Sounds more like an expansion. If its for this game, these forums probably dont pay dividends on time spent, are pretty negative across multiple levels and are frequented by those who know and are super involved already.

Social usually is first point of contact where cost of aqusition is minimal and exposure is exponential.

If its for a new game and not for mobile connectivity of eso ( their api is 100% ready right now for mobile integration through java or c with lua) then these forums would be even more irrelevant.

If you are here you really dont matter much, they got your money already.

GUYS THE FIRST POST LITERALLY SAYS IT'S FOR A MOBILE GAME NOT ESO

Eso isnt relegated to non mobile only. Companion app could make bank especially tied into game. Things like skyshard and lorebook locations on your tablet pulled from game data for instance, or gear inspection and crown crates to be opened on your phone.

Companion apps are huge market

So. Have they not got off the ground yet? Or is this just an admission that they can do better?

For those folks suggesting a third role here, every action of whatever-this-companys-name-is is to cut costs.
I CANNOT see them investing more support into a game that they are clearly murdering.

One, or both of them are moving on. Either to another internal role, or a company with credibility.

Here is what I think is stressful: "While working in a cross functional team the Community Manager keeps the online community engaged and grows the community base. This individual will effectively utilize knowledge of the game and community to assist the Marketing Department with ideas and designs that will work to drive revenue."

I view Community Management to be a Communications and Public Relations job, but ZOS has tossed in a heavy Marketing component. That is the scary part, to me. My view is that the Communications and Public Relations portion of the job conflicts with the Marketing part of the job. One part builds good will, trust, and brand loyalty, while the other exploits that for monetary gain. The job position is basically for a "con artist", and my personal style would be to break that into two people and two jobs.

:shrug:

Yeah that's a pretty conflicting job role as described. I doubt it actually translates to that in practice, but I don't want to feel like the community reps for my games are being influenced by marketing.

Yes, that is a good point. The job description in the job posting might not match the actual job, at least in terms of emphasis. While they talk about actively working with marketing, the person might not spend much time doing that. Marketing knowledge is not a bad thing, especially if marketing types are around.
