Ish.

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!

HAWHAWHAHWHAAHAAW!

**Super_Jenius**

Walrus: Thanks for everything you've done for the game and the community thus far, and best wishes on your new position. I would say this is the beginning of the end, but seeing how SOE just invested in a year's worth of voice-overs, I don't think that's going to happen.

Raijinn: You know you have big flippers to fill SMILEY

, but hopefully you'll have more time to do it. I think things will work out fine.

Change is a good thing.

A fresh perspective if you will.

Atleast they didn't leave the spot open.

There seems to be a bit of confusion with where Walrus is, lots of people are mentioning that he's leaving the MxO team and moving to DC. This isn't the case at all folks, he'll be the producer for MxO as well as an unannounced title from the Seattle studio. This is a great opportunity for him to concentrate on making sure the games he's looking out for have what they need to be successful.

Let me tell ya...some of the conversations he must have had as a Community Manager/Producer must have been down right difficult.

So in all fear not, we're all in this together as a community. I'll do my best for you guys and gals and I'll try to get some new features up on DN1 daily.

...And I believe Walrus would say "Thanks for the oysters"...not clams... SMILEY

I'm still working on some details with the features, it's really in the planning stages. I think more features that highlight the community as a whole and show off how cool you folks are is something that I want to start with.

Perhaps more fan submitted content like tours of different areas within Mega City? Maybe showing off player run parties with a recap (player provided) and posting that up on DN1? There's a bunch of stuff that can be done.

Maybe we could make use of that grayed out Guide button.

Dude,

There's an entire thread with MxO art in it. It's in the RSI section of the boards. I dunno if you've seen it, but there are some awesome drawings in there.

Just about every MMO I've seen has a section on there front page dedicated to fan art.

You could use that thread as a fan art section on DN1.
I would ask if any one would not like there art put up there, before you do.

That's one of my goals is to see if we can get some good how-to play MxO guides in there, possibly player created ones infact (giving full credit where credit is due, you guys know how to play better than I).

The fan art that the MxO players create are some of the best anywhere that I have seen. We actually have a Fan Art page for MxO at this link http://fanart.station.sony.com/?pag...amp;gallery=mxo. I think it would be nice to have a link to that on the front page. Perhaps we should even feature the new art once it goes into the gallery just to get the visibility up for it.

It does take a bit more time to get a bunch of art approved through WB though, so please do keep that in mind.

PascaI

Oh, i didn't know that...Cool.

**cloudwolf**

Yeah, the fanart page would be cool to link to. It also needs a nice big update one of these days, some of the stuff i have sitting in my 'MxO Piccies' folder would make you explode. lol.

Does the team still have that old white WB/Monoltih MxO theme? That's a much nicer template.
