Alchemic Dream distancing themselves from Dark and Light?

in Dark and Light

Quote Ironford (DnL forum moderator):


The forum mods are the same people anyway. We were told to change logo and organization names. We do not know why.

Does AD not want to be associated with the disaster that is SoG/DnL? I'd not blame them ::::33::



Hmm, your forum moderators are not employees of anyone. We are volunteers and fellow players with long memories (hint). As such we do not get access to inside information. We just try to keep the boards civil so everyone can enjoy them.
They used to have the AD logo and "Alchemic Dream" as their title. Now it just says "DnL Staff" and they use the broken moon logo instead of the AD logo.

Satange (DnL community manager) had this to say:


Some moderators are volunteers helping us to monitor the boards, the others are hired people working on the community management.
Soon the logo /title will be different so you can easily identify who do what.

    Just yesterday on IRC I talked to one of the Ad guys, he said that there are some issues at the moment in terms of communication with NpCube, and that they where re-evaluating their contract

    "Re-evaluating their contract" = AD looking for ways to get out of it without losing face. AD is in bad company with NP3, because it is AD who gets the majority of the complaints from the community, while Farlan/NP3 sit safely in their dev studio on R

    Heh, that's pretty interesting.

    AD is really in a hardspot right now.  On the one hand they don't wanna soil their rep by ditching NP3, but, on the other hand NP3 kind of deserves to be dumped.

    I find it interesting that AD has had just as many problems getting information out of NP3 as the players have had.  The legend of Farlan's noobness grows....

    This quite new thread/post by AD gives the impression of AD pointing out "yes, there is a problem, dont blame us, we are waiting for info aswell..."


    Concerning Server state - 22/12/05
    Hello,

    First of all, we're sorry for the inconvenience. Right now AD doesn't have any detailed/absolute information about the server issue, which can be published.
    A clarification request has already been sent to NP3/Farlan.

    Thanks for your comprehension!

    yours sincerely,
    Helba

    They woke up from their Alchemic Wet Dream and are now trying to clean up the mess.

    Yea, if I were AD I would try to get out as soon as possible.  They have DDO contract so if they stay too much longer people will start to hate AD a lot more and Turbine might sever their other contracts.

    Personally I don't think AD has to worry about the Farlan train wreck. They have mentioned on a few occasions the information we were desiring simply was not being given to them either.

    The communication pipeline was broken at the source. The only communications people were getting was coming from email ticket responses to indivual player complaints. The team developing the game are showing signs of understaffed and inexperienced.

    As this stage of the game I think everyone that has been following this saga will know AD had nothing to do with the lack of coummunications from the top. They were in the dark as much as the rest of us.
