    Yeah? I remember we all said the same thing when Means took over. How'd that work out?

    If you'd move the Swedish office out of the coffee machine, it may not break.

    It's the new Ikea office furniture line. Full office for 10 employees, fits inside a coffee machine. Extreme space saving! And, the slackers get processed into the coffee.

Now, if only we had patches that weren't just preparation for the coming changes. But I guess we can't have it any other way.
    I won't bother to detail for you a complete list - though SL quest rewards & wandering Nomads come readily to mind. I'm not even talking about ninja changes; I'm talking about devs making decisions that are counter-intuitive, largely unexpected, and cause the playerbase to do a double-take. Put succinctly: a curveball.

    The producer has said that the free month "would be better to do later in the year." It's not out of the realm of possibility for them to decide that they won't offer it at all (e.g. engine gets pushed back to next year). Maybe they'll offer a free month, maybe they won't. Maybe they won't have time, I don't know. For you to assert that "free month will happen later in the year" is laughable, as if you know.

    tl;dr Protip: "would" and "will" have two very different meanings. Please stop putting words in the devs' mouths.

    Sounds more like a Chinese sweat shop than a Swedish office imo.

    Ah, but I'm not putting words into anyone's mouth, I'm just relaying them. As the post you yourself linked to said the following:
    Quote Originally Posted by Ilaliya View Post

    While you are correct that would and will are two different words, then you are incorrect in your understanding that the word would refers to whether or not they are going to have a free month or not. Rather, would in this sentence refers to the merit of having the free month later in the year.

    Also, I don't recall what was up about SL quest rewards etc., doesn't strike me as anything too important as I played through all kinds of stuff here when there was no reward for doing so.

    There are. Everyone tends to avoid them, if they aren't actively trying to forget/block out their existence.
    But don't worry. You'll know immediately if you should have accidently stepped into such an office. First, there'll be a cold sudder creeping down your back, followed by a distinct feeling that there's someone with a sharp battle axe behind you. Turning around slowly, you'll notice that that distict coffee machine spot is empty, and the urge to run out of the office hands up in the air & shrieking will take care of the rest

    I must say that I am really impressed with the effort that went into celebrating AO's birthday this year.

    Should we commend the developers for spending so little effort on the birthday celebration so that they may continue their work on the re-balance and new graphics engine or was everyone on summer vacation? This years birthday seemed a little less than past years.

    Not sure if this is the right spot to post this but. Patch notes says that mp and crat pets no longer have timers. Ceo doesn't but carlo still does.

    Or Carlo shouldn't. For all intents and purposes it's a pet, simply stored under the charm line to prevent you from using charms while that pet is active.

    I disagree. Keeping up with timers on charms is part of being a good crat.
