TheHelper Site History - 1st Official Blizzard Battle.net Forums MVP Story

[Ghan]

The old Blizzard MVP program sounds like it was pretty awesome. Too bad I started here on TH after it was pretty much gone.

Welcome, Sixen! I've seen you around the Battlenet forums before.

The Current State of the MVP Program

wowpedia: Most Valuable Poster

Starcraft Wiki

Behind the scenes with a Blizzard forums MVP "green"

Starcraft 2 MVP Program Launched

I was contacted by one of the current Blizzard MVPs Sixen about adding his story here. I believe Sixen is the first MVP from when Blizzard brought back the MVP program. He said he would post his story after a while but when he approached me he seemed to want some kind of interview. If anybody wants to put together a list of questions to ask the current Blizzard MVP feel free. Otherwise, I will just try to get the current MVPs to post there stories here as well.

I have noticed there are 2 types of MVPs currently and I don't see a clear distinction in the forums powers of either. One type of MVP is World of Warcraft - started in 2005 definitely the spirit of the MVP program but unleashed on WoW. The other is Battle.net forums MVPs, Tech Support and others it seems.

I am working on fixing the links from the main index. When I fix them I put a Link Fixed note by them. I am also adding and reorganizing stuff.

That is a Reddit question. Which one would your rather fight, One hundred duck sized horses or one horse sized duck?

 

[Accname]

Thats a simple question. The horse sized duck of course.

 

[FireCat]

Hmm Maybe It's not that simple?

 

[The Helper]

Similar to how many 5th graders could you take if they were unlimited and coming at you?

• How did you become a MVP?

Blizzard picked him from the Blizzard forums. One of the Blizzard reps who were on the forum noticed him. He apparently convinced them to restart the program.

• What events have you participate?
• What makes you motivated to become a MVP?
• Have you ever been contacted by Blizzard?
• Do your friends knew that you are a MVP in real life?
• Would you keep your identity a secret in real life, if you had a chance?
• One horse-sized duck, and One hundred duck-sized horse, which one would you choose?
• Do you ever plan on retiring as a MVP in the future?
• What are your thoughts on WoL?

• Any thoughts on the current active members of The Helpers Forum?
• How did you meet The_Helper? Is it before you are MVP, or after?

We met shortly after he was the first MVP. Blizzard contacted me about being MVP again when they were starting the program up again because of Sixen and his comrades but I declined as I was too busy to be in the Blizzard forums and on these forums.

• Have you met other MVPs in real life?

I know he has contact with Dinobot.

• Have you ever get in touch with other retired MVPs?
• Do you have other game interests outside of the Blizzard community?
• Do you have any questions you would like to ask?

 

[FireCat]

if they were unlimited and coming at you?

Well, If it's unlimited "then it's another matter" LOL

 

[tom_mai78101]

I thought the questions are for Sixen.

I thought the questions are for Sixen.

I answered the ones that I knew if you cannot tell

 

[Sixen]

Sorry for the late reply guys, been a bit busy with IRL (graduating from college in a few months!) but I definitely want to contribute to this "MVP/Forum archive," if you will, it's been something I've been working on for years, . This in mind, I want to do it right and not miss out on anything, as I personally feel like the history here is awesome. Soon(TM) for sure. I'll also make sure to touch on each of the interview questions tom posted above, <3.

 

[tom_mai78101]

<3, realized Sixen and I are to be graduating in a few month. Hm..., I smell conspiracy.
