Thanks for the info Furri....sounds like they are having issues.

Rumor has it that Evocare is heading over to WoW to help with development over there. Maybe that's where Adrick's going so they can muck up another PvP server / system. If I remember correctly they both used to run/post heavily? on Battlevortex and played siege before getting onboard as developers who gave us the faction system...

The other names not on that list from the UXO dev team though are significant too:

Calandryll (Aka Jonathan Hanna), formerly player relations, virtue system was largely his baby. People are figuring he's gonna head over to Destination Games in Austin to work for Garriot.

Rick "Stellerex" Hall, UXO Lead designer, resigned too.

Cynthe is leaving too, she was the communit rep post AOS and was the main UO community rep in the dying days of the UO boards. Not sure what she was doing on UXO. She is married to Sage who used be the lead UO Live dev, who moved over to Garriot's place a while back.
