Development Team Notice: Change in Management & More Info

[Teerin]

Following the departure of @Alley, with @Blodo and @Echo 7-7 on leave for now, the Dev Team members in the past few days have discussed and voted on who will be the next lead developer. I regret am posting this to inform you all that they voted for me. This may not be the easiest of transitions, especially given the forum downtime that recently took place. However, we're aiming to be much more organized and responsive as a whole. You can view the Structure of our team here, and while we don't currently have an open recruitment thread per se, you can take a gander at this third post here if you're interested in helping us out. @LordVipex has been doing some good work with his system modification tutorial as well.

About the update progress ... before the forum downtime, we had a system developer working on an update for Kusari, another for Rheinland, and a third working with the Nomicron stuff. Progression since then has been slower. We ask that you have patience, perhaps offer your support, and at least bear with us as they work. Complaining that they're slow will only dissuade them, and devs are people too. We are also discussing other matters such as PvP balance, new models needed, jumpdrive disruptors, and more. We appreciate the community awareness of these, and the team will be working together to get stuff done.

I have but one suggestion: Lock this topic. Dev announcements should remain announcements, not debatable issues.

Done, feel free to discuss constructively elsewhere - Tunicle
