Denying an EA/UO Rumor

Player: I heard a Rumor

That many of the "Full Time" Live Team members were assigned development tasks (other game titles) by EA. By doing so they effectively cut the cost of keeping UO operational by reducing expenses.

Although it is only circumstantial evidence, this would account for the slow response times on fixes, inability to test properly, and many of the quality issues the game has faced since the mass exodus of developers right after ML was launched.

Can anyone confirm or deny that many of the "full time" team members are also assigned to work on other games besides UO?

Wilki: We had a mass exodus after ML?

I must have missed that one.

(Yes, I'm denying the rumor, as it's not true.)
