Staff Profile- Kroshallik (Special Interview)
1st question:" I understand you are a PR for the Europe team. During your time zone, do you have any team members you work with? How is the player population at that time?"
Yes, I’m EU PR. Of course, I work with Kitokat, Joey Audi, Joud, Onyas and others. Also there’s PR’s from another team. There are a lot of players who need my help in this time. It depends on what day is it. In weekends its 3300+, in normal days 2000+
2nd question: "What is one thing fun about your job? What is one thing that is hard?"
There’s not a lot of fun in PR job, but I like it because of friendly and responsible admins team. What’s hard? Hmm….sometimes, when I’m the only PR online, it can be hard to do everything by yourself, but I cope with it.
3rd question: "Was getting hired to the PR team one of your biggest goals when you were starting this game? What were your thoughts when you found out you were picked?"
First time, when I just started playing Era I didn’t knew that I can apply to the admins team. So I had other goals like get a certain amount of kills/hours, get certain gun or join one, of top gangs. But later getting hired to the PR team has become my biggest goal. I’ve been trying to apply more than 3 years. First time I had problems with my English language and Era knowledge. But I was improving it every day, month, and year. And I finally got hired. When I got a message about my hire I was really surprised! And I couldn’t believe it for a week since hired.
4th question: "In what ways can players contribute to the community in a good way to help the staff team?"
They should report every person who is breaking rules immediately. Also, they should follow rules.
5th question: "Any recommendations for players who want to work in the Player Relations team in the future?"
Yes. Dear players! If you want to join PR team – improve your Era knowledge – make it bigger and bigger. Always help newbies! Follow rules and if someone is breaking them – report immediately. And main thing – Never give up! Follow your goal!
