He also left detailed notes so other team members, like Virrago, could continue to appear in game and do some special things for the community.

The game keeps running as always--just without the 6-week updates.

Says enough really.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been out sick for a few days and haven't had a chance to catch up.

Celebration of year 4 is about one month away and we'll be running events just as we did last year.

No worries, it's easy to forget that staff can get ill sometimes. I'm happy that we're still having the 4th year celebration but if we are just getting the seasonal stuff (Winter/Halloween/Anniversary) with or without a few more items of clothing it's going to be really easy for MxO to stagnate.

Nothing against the storytellers out there but they can only do so much with whats given to them. The capture tools do help and they are appreciated but I don't think it's going to be enough to fill the gap in between seasonal events.

Giving a full toolset for events to players was never in the cards, as the internal structure of our toolset was never designed to work outside a secure network--not to mention being rather not-user-friendly. Recent issues with players being able to use admin-like powers without permission show what a pandora's box we would open putting those tools out,

I think it was a rogue two while others had restraint, but I agree with not letting them ingame.

Wait.....wut?

There was players who had admin-like powers? When did this happen?

We've been getting commie censored anytime we said anything about it on the boards.

Pretty much people would show up in Mara or Datamine and spam the crap out of terminator bits or drop code bombs or force flag people, et cetera.

Ah ok, thanks. Guess thats all we can talk about it if the mod is going to crack down on it, even though Walrus mentioned it to begin with.

Well, I hope we'll be hearing more about the future shortly, because if "things are as normal, just without any updates" is all there is to it then, well.. yeah...

Here's hoping the anniversary is better.. or at least a tad different than the last one? *shrugs*

What ever gets done there are those happy, those unhappy & the meh crowd. I mentioned I missed the Agents, others are glad to see them gone. I joined way late in the game than most here (was on another planet & just got back) so I have less to compare past to present.

I did have great fun the other night with the other "Danielle Wright Players" getting Danielle to drop her RSI which we wouldn't have been doing w/o Updt 66. I also seems that there have been more ppl around lately. (see if that's still true after another 3 weeks I guess).

Would like to see (read be told) where this game will be heading, macht nichts if its not in the EULA - we are the salary payers.

I don't see why the pills LESIG was given at their disposal couldn't be used by players wanting to tell a story, they were build exactly for only one enemy on every operative present when the pill got used. There's enemies for every organization in those pills and they would make the storytelling of any given location a heck of a lot better. Even make them singletons if needed. Update 67 right there.
