 Was checking out the fora like I do sporadically and noticed that about 2 guys, 1 being the Lead Programmer are not with Starvault anymore

Denny Lindberg (Animator)

"Christian and Joel isn't at Star Vault any more."

 

 

 

I cannot comprehend they are still on schedule for a 2009 release, not by a long shot, especially without the lead Programmer

 Christian and Joel don't are at Starvault for a long time (8-9 month)

 

So what's up?

I think this is old news. You can pull up the profiles of all the developers and moderators here:

http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/showgroups.php

According to that Christian (lead programmer) has been inactive since August 2008 http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/members/christian-ma-rck.html , and Joel has been inactive since February http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/members/joel-andersson.html .  Meanwhile almost all of the others have been active on the boards within the last 2 days. The only other exceptions being Markus Lovdell (August 27) and Patrik Jarlestam (sept 17).

There's a difference between "SV lost" and "workers left".

Anyway, they left couple months ago, so is it really important now ?

What do you expect from a DarkFail shill? They have to sow doubt since they can see the writing on the wall when MO finally releases.

Apparently your facts are obsolete since over a year. You can now return troll the darkfall forums.

Still waiting for the real UO successor...

Nothing to worry about apparently, Hannu Kokkonen, Dev responded in the same thread:

Hi Poemaster!
Christian wanted to study some more about programming language his biggest interest.
Joel wanted to move closer to his family and relatives in another city for better support for his family.

And yes we got new employees, programmers and artist that has taken over =)

Why do the words 'rats', 'ship' and 'sinking' spring to mind?

Assuming that you guys have never had jobs before.  Think about it, an MMO takes approximately 3 to 5 years to make.  Who has worked for a company for three years which didn't have anyone leave?

They "lost" the lead programmer a year ago, back when MO was more a conceptual prototype then a game. Since then they've hired more people then they ever had before.

Yeah, I didn't worry about this that much anyway.  You can see by the updates that the game is progressing OK.  We also are hearing good things from those in Beta.

 

While this game won't be for everyone, it does seem quality for its niche.

But you're clearly here to attempt to stir the pot, with outdated news.

What's the next bit of breaking news you're going to share?  JFK's been shot?

Their game is already dead. What else you expect them to do with their time?

When www met dot , they then stumbled upon Secret Society , wich happened to be a Guild , wich in turn told dot about the net .
