I never said it was easy. It's an extremely tough job and a huge undertaking, but that doesn't mean it's not doable with the right people funneling the same goals, creativity, drive, and integrity towards a path that would salvage AO. I'm pretty sure we're all in agreement that at least one of the new dev hires should be in love with AO for some odd reason. I do not foresee a large amount of applicants who are unfamiliar with the game, given that the job posting details for the Durham office is literally four sentences long.
Of course, this could all turn to **** in a heartbeat, too.

soup guys?
Thank you Macro and Genele for your years of selfless dedication and tireless efforts that will never be fully understood or appreciated . I'm pretty sure that Macrosun holds the record for most years on AO of anyone who was ever involved (might be a close one depending how long Andre worked on it before it was released). I'll look forward to buying you both some well deserved pancakes in Stockholm.
Michi! Congratulations on your new role. The spirit of AO is in good hands.
If you ever need anything just let me know.

Please, come back to AO.
After you left, the gave have gone downhill every month.
Before, we had a "FWM" every week. now we get an update every two months if we are lucky.
I created a Kickstarter thread a year or two ago, to get you back, but the moderators here deleted it i think.. Anyway. Get back!
PS: I'm sure Michizure will do a very good job. his my 2. favorite after you (Means). So, Michi in charge will for sure be a good solution.
Anyways: Macro and Genele. Take care, and perhaps we see each other if you visit Norway some time.
Take care both of you.
Edit: Yes, i made a new acc with subscription to post this message.

Tip #743: As noted in Tip #244, tea bags have an infinite variety of uses. However, there's always one jerk who will want to give you crap over drinking tea. Particularly if in a new town, use this as an opportunity to assert yourself. Any drunken idiot can win a bar fight. It takes a real man to win a bar fight while enjoying a cup of Earl Grey.
Yeah this ship really needs a captain to go down with it and stuff.

I'm part of the less vocal group of people that doesn't particularly miss Means as a GD. Please do NOT come back as a GD. Be something else but too much power was, for you, too much as far as I'm concerned.
Have a nice one!
Michizure is love, Michizure is life.

Wtb Means back, michi can be good. he has ben talking on forums atleast wich makes me happy.
a honest director would help that doesnt try to hide if things goes realy bad etc.
if he said ok guys.. next patch will take 10 years to release then ok i wont complain, atleast i wouldnt wait mounth after mounth to think maybe it comes next mounth..
i think the biggest problem with the directors is that they cant tell anyone how things realy are and how long they belive a release of a patch, engine etc can take.
i am realy curious what michi will write in his first post as director, i just hope we can get a honest eta on when things may come and not the good old ''Coming soon''
