Wait...did you leave?

Seriously though. Guys, can't you see? We gained a staff member! All that's happening is: Walrus was going two roles, but now someone else is doing one of them. Walrus is still here.

I can't wait to see what Raijnn can do. Good luck both of you!

Yeah, i thought about that earlier, we've in fact gained a permanent staff member. Surely thats a good thing? Surely that means SOE is taking us more seriously? I mean as i understand it Raij is one of the big soe community dawgs, just check the post counts for all the other games.

Oh and Zero, no worries, me and Rare already pwnd the DC bull ^.^

I pwned it better... not.

And wasn't Raijinn around before? Why does that say SOE gives more dmn if it's not the first time he comes here? Confused.

**RetroX**

Well that was.....yeah totally unexpected, there i was thinking it was something nice like an increase in Red Frags or a new Trial.

Personally I can't see things getting better as I know certain members of the comunity are still going to be favourates by Joel. So I expect them to be pulling favours soon. I hope for the sake MxO he overcomes this favouritism in his new role.

Walrus your the man, you have replied to almost every anoying PM I sent you and as people have said your the rock of MxO but I can this move benifiting you and the comunity in respect of production of MxO. Its just a shame that you will be sharing your time with another game.

**cloudwolf**

Before he was just chillin, you know, watchin the game.

Now, like Walrus said, he's all official and stuffs.

Well I can't say I'm terribly happy.. I know technically I should be, for various reasons, but to see the Walrus take a step away from us hurts me deep in my whiskers. I must admit I don't know this Raijinn from a block of cheddar cheese but after seeing him misspell 'proverbial' I can't say I'm very confident about his arrival. On the other hand, if he achieves any of the things we hope he will, well maybe it's good news for MxO after all. I guess it's one of those things where you have to take it on the chin and hope for the best.

Raijinn, I'd suggest you take a moment to read some of the more controversial topics that have been stored away so that you can really understand just how passionate we are and what exactly you've gotten yourself into here. Don't hesitate to ask the opinions and advice of Walrus, Rarebit, Jurymen, or anyone else who is regularly involved with us. Best of luck.

Walrus, I know I should be wishing the best for you in your next project - it's a big thing - but I can't shake that greed. We know exactly how good you are, and like a favourite pair of shoes, you never let us down. To have to trade in for some flashy new sneakers leaves us with that feeling of 'well they're great and all, but just not the same'. On the bright side, maybe you can continue to work your way up the SOE ladder until you're somewhere you can authorise us some serious marketing budget? Huh? huh? I thought so. Come back often Walrus. No one ever truly leaves MxO, they just go AFK.

Sorry we will lose your ongoing contribution to the community side of things, but all the best in your new role.

I know Raijin will do a good job and its very good to see him back.

**Expedience**

*cries* Bai, Walruz. SMILEY

**RedBindi**

Good luck in your endeavors Walrus.

Raijin I was not a member of the community during your previous stint here, so I was not privy to all that had occured. I have however been told of the history and have looked up the relevant posts I could find about it. I hope that lessons have been learned and that this time around a better job will be done. You will be closely watched by many due to the previous events.

That having been said, welcome back to the community I'll see you around.
