In unrelated news, my Strawberry Shortcake Zombieland MMO has just filled out its development staff; expect beta invites to go out soon!
That sucks.
@CrimsonOriole
I never knew him, but good luck. Hopefully he still has his account as Captain Mako, so he can play on the run.
ACK
I [heart] Mako.
Also I am apparently unable to tell when threads are locked and when they aren't.
Good luck to you Shane.

*sniffle* He'll be forever remembered in my sig.
(sigh) so I guess Cryptic's not working on a Deadlands MMO....
G'luck, shane. Ya done good here.
*waves*
Yenno, I'd laugh if the devs are leaving to join the MUO's development.
Take care shane, aka Captain Mako, nice work ya done here, nice work!

That's what I thought at first but it says he's leaving Cryptic and MUO is being developed by them.

Ah, very true.
Good luck with the new job Shane.
Bye, Shane!
Thanks for your awesome contributions to the game and its story!
And good luck on your new project!

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd look at his comment

I've been given an incredible opportunity to work on a project VERY near and dear to my heart

and assume that there is a Deadlands / Weird West MMOG that's hitting pre-production. But that's just a guess.
Anyway, thanks for all your hard work Shane!

What about the DCUMMO?
@Utilitarian - Guardian/Tech Blst/20
Parity - Guardian/Nat Tnkr/21
Diana Drake - Infinity/Magi Scr/32
Doctor Developer - Virtue/Tech MM/22
Lady Lawful - Infinity/Magi Tnkr/20
Well, I hope he's working on a Deadlands MMO. That would be great.

Also possible, I guess, but I thought SOE was doing that all in-house. Not saying that SOE couldn't hire him, but surely they've got in-house / DC writers they could rely on.
Another thing - does Mako really love the DCU so much that he'd quit one superhero MMOG to go and start another one? That I don't know.
Thanks for all the great work you did on CoV, Shane. Great stuff! I look forward to your new work.
It's a shame to see no announcement, so I'll repost this from Shane Hensley's RPG company forum:

Hi all!
I've been given an incredible opportunity to work on a project VERY near and dear to my heart, and will be leaving Cryptic as of tomorrow. It's a very amicable parting and I've had a GREAT time here. It's a wonderful place to work filled with great people and awesome projects.
Emails to that address will start bouncing, so please use this address if you need to get in touch. I've had it over 15 years now and won't be changing any time soon.
I'm afraid I can't share details of what I'm doing yet, but I will when I can.
Thanks all!
Shane Hensley
