User:Linsey Murdock

Born and raised in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, I dropped everything to move west in June of 2005 seeking fame and fortune in the game industry...well not so much fame and fortune, but more like a job that I could be actually passionate about. Best thing I've ever done.

My hovercraft is full of eels.

I am a Spearwoman. 치 The Spearmen 치 [치치치치]

Thank you for the offers, but I am not accepting any guild invites. I've been in The Spearmen for a long time and I'm quite content there. Besides, I have to be in an ineligible guild.

You can add me in game as Linsey Murdock, I always keep a character with that name although you'll find me on my main most of the time (Leitha Ambrai). Unless I'm super busy, I'm usually up for chatting a bit so don't be afraid to say "hi!". I promise I won't bite, but I do have a couple little rules...

• While I do encourage you to notify me of emergency bugs right after a major build, I would much prefer you post most bugs on Mike Z's various bug reporting pages. This way our QA department can get the bug into our system and it will have a much higher chance of getting fixed than expecting me to remember a pm from in-game.
• Once you have reported a bug, there is no need to remind me whenever we chat that it has not been fixed yet. We'll get to it if/when we have time.
• Any support issues should be directed to the appropriate page on the Guild Wars site or Gaile's talk. I can't help you with that stuff.
• All community type questions should be directed to Regina's talk.
• No I can't generate fat lootz for you, so don't bother asking.
• Often times when I log in during the day it is to check in on something that I am working on or do a bit of research, so please don't be offended if I'm not super responsive or chatty. Most likely, I'm trying to get some things done and it's not because I'm mad at you. Oh and I often get randomly pulled away from my computer pretty frequently so if I am just afk, likely it's because of some kind of meeting.

My official title is Game Designer but I am the Guild Wars Live Team Lead. What does that mean? It means that I oversee any changes made to Guild Wars Live and do any and all design work needed for Live. Before taking on this role, I was working on GW2 design and before that I worked on quests and explorables for Guild Wars.

Here are some examples of my quests:

These are the explorables I wholely designed and spawned:
Drakkar Lake, Varajar Fells, Sacnoth Valley and Arbor Bay

Other stuff I worked on:
Balance in the Norn Fighting Tournament
Vael and his random behavior
The Black Moa Chick scavenger hunt
Henchmen Scenes in outposts
The initial initial design for Frostmaw's Burrows and Cathedral of Flame
Perfect Salvage Kits
Oggy the Small-eared Asura
