Passion for PC/video games and the ability to understand and emphasize with the unique needs and passions of our player community Edit - they changed it to the American spelling of empathise Edited September 11, 2015 by rancidpunk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was hoping that a global dispersed company as Wargaming, not being stuck to offices (for everyday work) was part of the culture. I know a Dutch translator for WoT who lives in Pay-Bas, so there's more than you may know of Edited December 12, 2015 by GoT_PcDealer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[1UP] Ectar_ Alpha Tester, Players 676 posts 922 battles Report post #9 Posted September 10, 2015 Thank you for your trouble. I was hoping that a global dispersed company as Wargaming, not being stuck to offices (for everyday work) was part of the culture. I don know a Dutch translator for WoT who lives in Pay-Bas, so there's more than you may know of What would give you that idea? I can't think of any major games company where their core staff work from home, especially at a customer service level. For example major games companies based in Europe have their core staff based in the following cities: Blizzard = Versailles and Cork Riot = Dublin EA = Galway Ubisoft = Newcastle Paradox = Sweden For our fully supported languages in Europe (German, French, Czech, Polish, Spanish, Turkish. English) we have Customer Service agents, Content and localization Editors, along with Community Teams all based in our regional offices. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to get at with the message about translators. You'll find that roles like that aren't advertised on our corporate side as it's more of a freelance role.

Brynd Players 202 posts 74 battles Report post #11 Posted September 18, 2015 Edit - they changed it to the American spelling of empathise Yes, I asked for it to be changed, as I'm a language pedant. Thank you for pointing it out. Unfortunately for me as a British English fanatic, we use US English on that site (and I think possibly all our English language sites).

I can't think of any major games company where their core staff work from home, especially at a customer service level. Well I can tell you that I have worked with major clients that are at least if not bigger than WG and have done so either from home either the Timisoara office. Ive even work on a project from Barcelona so working from home should not be a big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
