CatHat: Well i think Wilki has been on vacation for a while here- probably acquired a lot of time off he has to use or lose kinda thing. Haven't seen him around the office too much - though he could be on business abroad too - been too busy to ask. *shrugs*

As for Ando - yeah he rocks! Ando cares a lot about UO, the community and QA - a sharp guy. I'm very grateful for each and every person like that on our team believe me.

-- so now i'm the "chatty cat" huh? lol

CatHat: Yeah - Mr.Tact deserves recognition too, especially for all of his good internal backing and work on UO that nobody sees. He's one of the few Origin Dev guys left. MIght actually very well be the last one. Poor guy takes so much crap on the boards - lol - even occasionally from me. Oops.

I suspect when folks finally get the big picture, maybe they'll be nicer to him - at least for a little while - lol. A week maybe? A Month? naww longer.

CatHat: Oh those darn legacy SPINED clothes - lol - almost as bad as the wacky ICY white HUE That make the black stand out in the cloaks.

Wilki: If by vacation you mean "sick with a cold that won't go away", then that's right! :-P

We had some restrictive policies in place in the past about who could communicate about what with the players - those have been relaxed recently, and this is the result. I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out. Back when I was just another UO player, I wanted more dev participation in the community. I remember thinking we were lucky to average a post a day... so I'm glad you guys are enjoying the extra communication.

CatHat: I'm telling ya - It's that damn Lycanthropy that goes around this place.. Forgot to wash your hands and wear some Silver didn't ya Wilki.

Thats ok - it got some of our art team too - though i suspect some of my beloved comrades mighta partied too much around the time of E3.
