We appreciate you took them for as long as you did, though.


Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

Considering that GhostRaptor (former EU community member) was laid off on redunandcy back in April 2009 when they closed the Brighton office (and moved Avatea to the states) I'm not sure what to make of this. Did you mean GhostFalcon (the producer)?

Interesting.

GhostFalcon does seem to be their main bug hunter.

Wow, this saddens me. I like that the devs are there, even though we certainly shouldn't abuse that privilege. I wonder if people were being a little too free with BAB's inbox?

Hopefully you'll still post and respond to things, BAB. We like your presence on the forums!

I think he just means that he needs to cocnentrate on getting animated hair just right for the GR launch - once it's done, he'll be answering PMs again.

Actually, shouldn't it be Arbiter Kim?

If you are going somewhere else, best of luck in your new job.

If you are just turning off PMs to maintain your sanity, we completely understand.

I don't think he's withdrawing from the forum - he's just not going to take private messages anymore.

Its not the first time BaB hit his limit on PMs and disabled them. He probably just needs a break from our BS for a year or three.



Maybe he has a problem, and no one else can help, and he's off to find...

(Its not Picard, but its still Youtube, BaB)

Maybe he's just anticipating being very very busy fixing things on some huge new update that shall remain nameless, and is expecting his inbox to be full to the point of bursting with bugs for him to fix from a sudden influx of testers...

*starts checking email frequently*
*crosses fingers*

/wild (and exceptionally enthusiastic) speculation

Like Uhara here, I suspect he's just tired of answering stupid questions form "entitled" fans and doesn't hear much else.

[edit] Heh, I didn't time that all that well... not calling BaBs an illogical woman, I swear. :S

As wild as that speculation may be... it is a rather logical one.

It might also have to do with my PM regarding Granite Armor and whether or not they are changing it...

This is my wild and completely baseless speculation as well. Maybe we can pester some other animator, he seems like a rising star lately.

Bugs or exploits can be addressed to Ghost Falcon

For all other questions or concerns, direct them to the appropriate thread, or to our community people EMpulse, T'He O'Cho, Niviene, or Avatea.
Y'know, while I can't fault Brawler for doing this - lord knows there have been times when the level of stupid around here has risen to such that I've told this place to go fornicate itself with an iron rod - as someone who's really been feeling the general lack of information and communication about, well, anything lately, I honestly have to say that this does not boost my spirits any.

And as posted elsewhere, I hope this is just a sabbatical from PMs/forum interaction and not the beginning of a swan song.

Why do I suspect the separating tails from belts thread was the cause of this... oh well. Here's hoping it means work crunch time and not player base is breaking my brain...

Sorry to hear that, BABs. Remember: Illegitimi non carborundum. (Don't let the bastards grind you down!)


Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.

First Dev news in a long time, and very disappointing to hear.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Wow, are we ever spoiled by the unprecedented access we get to designers and devs.

Buck up. This access to the folks who work at Cryptic is a privilege, not a right. I would've disabled PMs long ago if I were in their shoes.
