Hey folks,

I've been hearing a few things of late about trouble brewing in Brighton again, namely staff shakeups, usually I don't take this type of thing seriously but this time round the sources are trustworthy....

So GR can you confirm or deny this?

And if it is true, what does it mean for us?

Source? Linky? Anything? We love to speculate with you.

All i can say now is Doom(tm).

I think if the rumours are true, it's better not to speculate too much until we get an official word (if any.)

Let's hold our horses until we hear the word from the proverbial bird.

Well said.

Yeah, unspecified news from unspecified sources of generic "trouble brewing".

Still, I'm sure GR will be able to ignore company PR policy and make an impromptu announcement on whatever the hell "this" is. After all, the question's specific enough.

P.S. Doooooooom(tm)

Uh oh.

Well, probably uh oh indeed. Although in that case I'm part of a different "we", as other than this thread I haven't heard any rumours at all...

Edit: Is it a takeover by The Elite?

I am not going to speculate on the basis of no official source of information.

However...

A reputable source has also reported this (and is probably in a position to know). At this time I have no reason to dispute their word.

Uh oh, indeed.

It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

Oh, Those rumours from 38 mins ago!....

Hmmm, have to wait and see. I'm waiting for the spin on the press release if they are.

I went to my fave rumour-monger for NCsoft Europe. Yeah, not good numbers.

We'll have to see what the official word is though, as always.

...can't be Bridger then

I'd object to the Dooooooooooom™ thread, but then I'd have to object to everything on the BBC News site right now. Especially the price of tea.


Is it time for the dance of joy yet?

To the Googlemobile...

Hmmmm, looking very uh oh.

IF the rumours are true, don't be expecting any posts from GR on it until there's an official press release.

And even then, I wouldn't expect GR to be allowed to say a lot about it...

What? This?

Is anyone actually surprised by such a move?

Why are you all so surprised by such a move? It was fairly obvious it was going to happen at some point this year.


 

Posted

I'm surprised it has happened so close to the last cull. Thats cold.

My sympathies to all of you down there in Brighton if this affects you.

Likewise. Sod the game; it's just a game. This is people's JOBS!
