... which REALLY confuses the people here that have no clue what Kheldians are....

so that means that Zwillinger must be the actual head of the company
And I still blame Positron for shooting JR.

I've been here 7 years. And I've seen all if it; every little detail up close and personal. I'm a MMORPG fanatic, and have had my hands into playing every AAA title that has come down the pike, along with a lot of AAs. The only devs that have totally impressed me over the years are Mythic (DAoC) and the devs for CoX. They are all genuinely talented people who seem to love their jobs. And those are the two greatest qualities I look for in a Dev team.

Marketing executives are the ones that sit around and go "[This non-existent piece of tech] would sell really well. Hey programmers and tech people, Make it happen!"
---two months later---
"Why do we have [this now-existent piece of tech]? It's not selling. Hey programmers and tech people, get rid of that!"

Are the devs a little overly secretive about everything? I guess Pos gets lead role back? No offence to Pos but I was hoping for a change of gaurd/direction for this game. Having all these new systems and powers etc is ok but when most of the new content is the same old then the game gets stale. In general. I also think turnover helps break the 'stale' feeling in any business...I think that would apply here. It would have been nice to go off in a different direction....one where we have not gone before! 
Anyway, I like the new powers and some of the trials but not much else. I guess I've played the game for a while now and it has stopped offering something new and different. I am also concerned at the quality of newer items; the CoT pack has TWELVE pieces in it and the new Signature Story Arc (part 1) was quite weak. I think the SSA is only enticing because of the rewards, not because it is fun to play. It isn't worth the $ at this point.
Well, I hope this game well. I want it around for a long time so I may leave and one day come back to my old toons
