    People move on from different companies all the time, and many times for no better reason than there's just something better down the line. It's nothing personal against the company they work for, they just feel it's time to move along.

    I agree. I was just getting tired of seeing all the unneeded doom speculation. It just fuels the trolls and haters.

    The one constant in this great big world is change. New horizons can be refreshing for the soul. You have always been a wonderful party member, as well as a kind and fair person to me, (and many others) in game. I hope that the same can be said for the person in real life. Best of luck Akro. Do continue to pop in from time to time if you are able, and keep working with that Foundry thing... ;)

    I think Akro should apply for that TBS show 'King of the Nerds'

    I know he'd have our support. ;D

    Thank you for all your hard work and charming personality. You were a bright star in the skies of Faerûn. (We should have 'Akro's Star in the sky next Winter Fest...hehee)

    Livestreams won't be the same without ya! Best of luck to you, Akro, in your new endeavor!

    Akro, good luck and all the best.

    ...this does, however, not bode well.

    People said the same thing when Somminator left. Lets not make this into a Doom! thread please.

    That's not doomsaying on my part...

    ...when in times of turmoil the management changes - unrelated to the turmoil and its cause or not - the successor is put in double jeopardy. That's what I'm alluding to.

    Doom - nah. The game is solid and probably also profitable enough to carry on, no problem. Has taken a hit, but it'll hopefully get back on course sooner rather than later. The personnel change, however, does decrease the "sooner" and increase the "later" probability.

    So, no intention to make this a doomsaying thread, let's just say, the timing is less than favorable. It makes the pessimist in me expect that the turbulent times we're currently in in Faerûn might stay turbulent for longer.

    From the OP:
    I’ve learned a lot from being your community manager and have the utmost faith in my successor, Strumslinger (I’ll let him introduce himself in another thread, but I’m sure a few of you may remember him from a few of our Neverwinter livestreams). *snip*

    And for those attributing his departure or decision to leave on m6 and using this thread to snipe at mod 6: Don't. There are a half dozen other threads to offer your feedback for Elemental Evil.

    For what it's worth, his new job may offer a better 401k, dental plan, or even pastries in the break room instead of donuts. Bottom line is that he's leaving of his own volition, for reasons that are his own, and we should respect that instead of doomsaying.

    He's the new CM to succeed Akro. He'll be making his own intro thread in the near future.

    Or it might really be mod 6. There, that's both of us speculating. :rolleyes:

    StrumSlinger, AKA Andy, as helped out as Chat Commander on Akro's live streams in the past. He used to be QA Lead for Neverwinter, and is currently Community Manager for all Arc games. He has been doing his own streams for a bit, the ArCast on Twitch. :D He's really awesome, and I know he's gonna do a great job. (Yes, I know he will be doing his own introduction thread, but I just wanted to help out a little bit here).

    Hey akro,

    I wouldn't say that I know you really well, but I think I've had enough interactions with you to call you a friend! I hope that we get a chance to play together again at some point. I'll definetly miss you, you were my go to man when I had a question or something to bring to dev attention :p I wish you the best of luck in wherever life takes you!

    You will be missed!

    I think I need to create a follow up foundry now! (Look at my signature, then it will make more sense)!

    Mr. Akro,

    I don't now you much, nor I ever talked with you, but I wish you luck in your future challenges and thank you for what you did for us and NWO.

    For those of you that are interested, our new CM: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/member.php?108789789-strumslinger

    I need to find out more info on what he plays, to make a new foundry in my series. I'm thinking Strumslinger is going to be the even eviler villain that is so evil even Akromatik agrees to partner up and help stop him! (In my last foundry, Akromatik was the villain, and ran around terrorizing NW citizens. Maybe it's time that someone even more evil appeared, and overthrows Akromatik as the top villain in Neverwinter!)
