Many players have met a wonderful lady named Emily or "Domino" as she is known to most in EQ2. Some have become very close to her over the years. I personally have only known her through forum posts, twitter updates and SOE videocasts, but I know of the wonderful work she's done.
Many years ago in EQ2 raiding was king. If you had an issue regarding house decorating or tradeskilling it was hard to get things changed and improvements made. Then along came Domino. When she became tradeskill developer, Norrath started to change for the better. She added tons of quests for tradeskillers so we no longer had to stand in front of a stove or loom from 1-90 we could now travel the world and explore like adventurers and it made the tradeskill grind a lot more tolerable. She also helped add more housing items and improve on the ones we had. From what I've heard she had a love of decorating so it was only natural she helped improve that aspect of game by getting us new and exciting items to work with like tiles and tons of other new furniture.
All her amazing work as tradeskill dev paid off as she was eventually promoted to a producer's position. As associate producer she continued to help EQ2 improve on an even larger scale.
This morning I was shocked to see facebook and twitter posts announcing that she has left the EQ2 team. It's a very sad day. As far as I know there's no official word on if she left SOE altogether but because of that I fear the worst. Hopefully we haven't seen the last of Domino.
Domino, Thanks for everything you've done in making Norrath a better place. We love you even if we might not have known you.
