Just currious, I always like him.. He was really good at talking with the players and getting issues fix/looked at.. seamed like an all around nice guy.

I see positron is still around too, but was wondering about him. any other devs still here from 3+ years ago?

He quite possibly still has his standard game account, but he's no longer a dev.

He does.

He also posts on this board occasionally.

His location is... "A Castle"

Well laid off is technically fired. It just a no fault kind of firing. Having been there and done that it is no fun. I note from his blog that he and 8 others all were let go at the same time. And reading his blog post there it sure looks like it was the laid off type.

It should have been the other way around. Castle fired and Black Ally Brawler move onto better things.

Rumor is he logs in every so often just to stroll around the barren, empty PvP zones admiring his handiwork.

I guess you never been to the pvp forums because there are Castle sux threads on a daily basis while he was here

He still plays, and posts regularly. Especially if you know where to find him.

Beyond that, I think certain persons need to remember that Paragon Studios in all of its incarnations is a team. Castle did not "destroy" PvP any more than any one single person changed any other part of the game. You are free to dislike the changes (which I, personally, do to some extent), but there is no point in scapegoating him.

Lastly, I think those of us who know where to find him should respect his privacy and not make a big deal out of his current forum handle.


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.

Knowing castle's respawned handle isnt a elite club people can belong to. (though he might like to make it a little hard/riddle like )

He knowingly disclosed his handle to the forum public. I'm sure he can handle his own privacy.
I say this out of respect, not from lack of it.

I'd imagine he has another one or many logins he hasnt disclosed to the public.
