We’re extremely excited to announce two new members to the Guild Wars Community Team—Stéphane Lo Presti and Emily Diehl! Stéphane will join ArenaNet as our French Community Manager, reforging a valuable link between the studio and our French-speaking fans. Many of you may already know ArenaNet veteran Emily Diehl for her work as producer on our websites and wiki. Now she’s joining Community, where she’ll help Martin, Regina, and Stéphane cook up lots of interesting plans for the upcoming year. Be sure to stop by Stéphane and Emily’s wiki pages to say hello!

Ttys ^^
Welcome Emily and Stéphane! Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself to us. Do you mind elaborating a little bit on the bolded portion of your post? Again, welcome to their [Anet's] team as well as to our [Guru] community! We're a crazy bunch of people, so we just hope that you can come to learn us as well as understand us despite all our compiled frustrations. Cheers!

PS: I just hope it's an "addition" and not a "swap-out"!

Welcome both of you! That's great you're a part of the Community Team. Watch out for Martin, he's a sneaky one as he likes to play tricks, especially on GW2 Guru!

We let our game designers and developers work on the actual game.

Well - it is pretty self explanatory - we intend to do a lot of cool community stuff, and Stephane and Emily will be an integral part of that.

Lets break the new guys in with a question:

Whatever happened to those gameplay details we were promised for GW2 in early 2010?

Welcome, sorry I don't have a better welcome ready.

Now, this is the part of the story where I'm supposed to start expecting things out of you immediately. However, I'll spare you from that horrible fate.

Welcome to the two of you. Perhaps I can convince either one of you to give me GM powers and dominion over Guild Wars in my ever expanding lust for trivial powers? Feel free to do so whenever, I don't even need notification.

hello you two
i hope for lots of posts here and on the wiki from both of you.

and a quick question - since a french community manager has joined the group, should we expect more 'national managers' in the future?
