Walrus... I can say that you will be more than missed by the community, and we will definitely miss your infinte presence through participation on the boards and the weekly "Other Sides". Not to mention the sense of humor and good-natured and enthusiastic spirit about everything.

I've gotta back up Trace, though, and say that seeing Raijinn around more often and in a more commanding role is not something I'm interested in. I don't think anything's going to change this fact, though, so I'll deal with it as long as he has learned his lesson about sending unnecessary system messages during LESIG events.

Good luck, Walrus - I wish you well in all of your endeavors, and thank you for the great deal of work and creativity you have put into this game (and hopefully will continue to!)

 Stop the personal stuff before we force you to stop.

Please stop the flaming folks.

To answer some of the questions: Raijinn's main tasks are on PlanetSide and MxO, with some helping out on Pirates. He's not jumping into all games anymore--he's all official 'n' stuff.

Er...what was the other one...edit coming in a sec....

Meh, can't find it. But I did find another one: Yes, I intend to keep my nomiker in the new game.

Congrats on the promotion, Walrus!  It's a pity that a thread celebrating your new position has to be tainted with such angst.  Great job everyone!

Regardless, we should still have a party!

Oh noooooo!

I am sad that you are sort of but not really leaving, but if it is something you want to do and are excited about, then I am happy at the same time!

I hope everything works out wonderful for you! At least you will still be a part of the Matrix! =) We will miss you bunches

*hugs*

Oh... my... god.

The moment i saw 'special edition' i knew it was something bad i really did.

First off, words can not describe how much i apprechiate all you've done for this game and it's community Walrus. You should know by now how much we all care for you.

Second, and i'm not going personal here, but i do know this can not be a good thing for the game right now, at least not in the short term, we all know the history there, and i for one know people who will not be happy/staying. That and Walrus is seen as one of the driving forces of the game and community.

I'll just say this: Raij has some BIG shoes to fill and if he doesn't adequently then we're doomed. End of.


Thirdly, does this mean another sig comp? =P

As Yas said, this doesn't inspire hope for MxO's future.  I'm glad you're moving onto bigger and better things, Walrus, it's certainly well deserved.  I wish you well with your 'untitled' but apparently DC-related project. 

It's not to the detriment of Raijinn when I say that is quite a blow.  I will say that you have mighty shoes to fill, Sir. 

Edit: I appreciate your candour in the post above.  I also forgot to wish you good luck also. 

Hey folks, so yeah I understand how some of you feel. Walrus is a great person for the community and he's really been there to help weather the storms that have come up. He's the perverbial rock that's always been there. The good thing is, he's still going to be there in a production role which is pretty darn awesome!

Sure I've made mistakes and I've learned a great deal since being part of the Community Team so I expect to move forward better than before. I'm really in this to help make the MxO community a great place to be, just as Walrus has done in the past. I'm open to listening to your ideas and suggestions and I think we can do some great things with the community.
