I've seen some discussion suggesting that "I have returned", and I'd like to address that, and dispel any confusion.
I'd like to announce my formal resignation.
I've been in a funny position this past couple years on the development team, where I have a lot that I would like to do, but can't due to lack of scripting knowledge.
I think the most frustrating example, as Anero would probably agree, was with our Multiplex project.
Anero and I would like to have never gotten Multiplex released -- and even after two years of working, it didn't offer all that we wanted it to offer.
Even to this day, Multiplex still lacks much of the activities we wanted to offer, and it's mainly due to lack of scripting.
Simply put, I'm tired of not being able to execute on projects that I know myself and other players would enjoy, due to lack of scripting knowledge.
So I've decided to take it head-on: I'm going to learn scripting, and take a leave from games until I have an understanding of it to an extent that I can be of more service with development.
After I learn, we'll see where I'm landed =D.
With the possibility of me working for a competitor, I would recommend that I am removed from all staff positions on all Graal servers(including Guest), until we see where I end up developing at.
I'll still be on the forums, Discord server, and still log onto the game periodically, but my interests are strictly in playing (until further notice).
Thank you, and I'll see you around!
