There we go... 
Congrats on your new position, flippered one.
Have a drink on me.
Just... you know, don't spill it on one of the servers, or something...
(For all we know it might turn everyone invisible to eachother again!)

YAY for Walrus! Congratulations to you and your Producer status!
And WOOT!! for Archival Missions!!!!
I thought you were doing a bit much for a Community Manager. Congratulations on the promotion. I'm glad to hear the game is in good hands. :smileyhappy:
It's more of an additional set of duties than promotion: I'm still the Community Relations Manager. But thanks!
Heeey congrats dude! Being a producer is a big job and I can't think of
anyone else that is better suited for it. Good luck and have fun! :smileyhappy:
Can't wait for update 45 - It's going to be lots of fun I'm sure.

Congratulations....but I wonder...is all the content this game has to offer is in missions?
Not to be negative..but jeebus the only thing as far as content wise to do in this game are missions...

Whoo-hoo hoo hoo, hoo! [/end MatthewPerry]
Congratz on forcing your way into Kaplan's position. Come on, we all know how power-hungry Wal..ri are, don't deny it.
Congrats Walrus, you deserve it!
and...
When you
complete all of an Organization’s subchapter missions, you’ll earn a token. Each token is a unique item for that Org and
subchapter. We’re currently working to make these items so you can email them
to yourself for temporary storage and will let you know their status before
launch.
Thank you!!

Hmm, very good, Mr. Producer. Hah. It all makes sense now.
Perhaps that Commando Beret will look good on Sykin. Time will tell. Hmm...

Overall an interesting looking glass, but I must say I'm disappointed
that you didn't even mention the loss of a very highly valued dev.
Still, congrats on the sidemotion

Congrats Walrus! I had a feeling on that one
Ironically yesterday I was doing the stat hack mission and had to lead "Alec Kaplan" to Seraph. Spooky!
Just wanted yo ask if the tokens can be emailed to yourself, they that would make them tradable which means you could get ppl do them them for you and send them, or sell them on market, I certainly hope this wont be the case. However on a plus side if its a case you can only send them to yourself, then awesome! this then could hopefully be implemetned on Pandora items too.
nice job :smileywink: lovin the sound of this ....i cant wait this game is really going up, even with the loss of frog, we have to pick ourselves up and keep on going. and grats on the new position 
i was hoping for an update on the white hallways maybe a date or at least a few screenies but all in all the archival mission system is looking great 
/clap.......Grats man!!!
Well played old chap. /golfclap
Grats grats, Walrus, you are so the right person for this. I only hope that your satisfaction grows as your responsibilities have.
Besides making it possible to email these items to yourself, why not double the inventory? Just think of how many problems this would solve!!

Congratulations for the promotion.
Those news look promising, thanks for bringing up much needed new content to the game.
I have only one thing that I feel a need to mention though. Instead of finding a temporary storage solution for those tokens, by trying to make them self-mailable-but-not-tradable, why not make some adjustments to the loading area ? Adittion fo 20 slots was helpfull for coders that can't even store their bits. But I believe we need a change in the storage purpose and method of the loading area.
First, making those tokens uploadable like mission related letters, audio recordings and documents may help with their storage better then making them mailbox items, considering the number of mails that you can have displayed at one time.
Second, being a person that likes things neat and organized current state of the loading area inventory is giving me nightmares. It would be really helpfull if was seperated into pages like our character inventory. One page for skills, one for bits, one for etc story and mission items mentioned above and hopefully one for storing our weapons, tools and most importantly clothing (I dream of the day...). While we can decompile our items to compile them later thats not really effective for time and resources.
I hope that you see my point in this.

Can't wait until Archival missions, but how's the progress on White Hallways?

Fratz on producer-ness (though it was kinda obvious for a while now, hehe) and on a great looking glass, i know it cleared more than a few things up for me about the missions.
Unfortunately however i am gonna have to bring some sort of negativity to my post, sorry.
A) Not only do we have devs being taken away from us we also (and i know its been going on a while but still) have devs multi-jobbing. Pfft at the lack of SoE support
*sigh*
B) As kick **bleep** as the archive missions are gonna be and the shear amount of content they're gonna bring to the table was i the only one looking at a more immediate release? I mean, if rarebit is anything to go by, they've been in testing for quite a long while now... I dunno, again i just find myself questioning the amount of staffing MxO actually has.
Well, thats me done.
CloudWolf out.
Blast! "Fratz" ¬.¬ Gratz, i meant gratz and you know it!
And my second point isnt as bad i suppose since i swear i read mid/late not early/mid. Meh.
Oh and another point which aready been raised is the fact that 'self-emailable' shouldnt be seen as a solution to the storage problem. Its a temp fix and nothing more.
Another solution entirely is needed. I mean just look at soem of the ideas over in development roundtable, absolute genious some of em. Doubling our inventory space, fixed problem. Adding a new 'key items' inventory, fixed problem. Adding expandable 'flash drive' inventory items, fixed problem.
Time to get a problem which has plagued this game for months fixed i say.

flash drive you say
although i cant take all the credit i did a bit of photoshoping all in the name of more inventory space

I am still waiting for info on the sentinel. Since the disappearance, it's been mentioned once in an official statement as far as I know. Now I admit i havent been keeping up with the forums that closely, but I'd expect some word of it in the official looking glasses or game updates. Even if it where to be sorry, no more sentinel....

Sometimes when reading this stuff I feel as if the entire MxO staff now only consits of like 4 or 5 people

I feel the same way. I know that I am wrong, but it sure feels that things are headed in the wrong direction. I seem to remember numerous occaions where Walrus was complaining (errr stating) that he was mega busy back in his old job. I know that he was helping Kap out, but officially having the title of Producer will only make things even crazier. More work with less people simply doesn't work, things slow down pretty fast. To sum up:
Frog - GONE
Kap - GONE
New Content - MISSIONS WE'VE ALREADY DONE
I apologize for being negative, and I do truly wish you congratulations Walrus, but now that you're the man running the show, I think I wouldn't mind a few answers from you on where MxO is going (I am after all a paying customer, who has spent a little time in Megacity). It would be nice for once to be able to hear the truth, instead of all the rah-rah bs. But as I think of questions that many of us would like answered, I realize that none of them would like be acknowledged, so I guess I'll not waste my time.
Anyway, congratulations again and good luck.
PS What's Mr. Kaplan up to? (http://www.secretlairstudios.com/company/)
Congrats Walrus, I know you deserve it. To be honest, i'm not excited about doing old missions again. I would prefer new areas and implenting Box 4 mission difficulty into critical missions. Now that would be awesome since it would require players to actually get a team together. Just my thoughts.....
Well despite the negative reactions I think most of us have always thought "wow I wish I could back and do all the old critical missions again!" and especially those people who came in the game later and might have missed things.. and those people who missed the other organization's missions
So thank you for the gift to be able to do so And congratulations on promotion!
And congratulations on promotion! Yah, I can finally go back and remember what the hell I was really supposed to be thinking about as a level 10 Zionoob. Plus, just seeing some of the old NPC's in missions and such will be fun.
But I'll probably give my hat to the Generalista...

Doesn't look like we're getting a new Other Side

Curses at the bumper! I thought we had a new OSOTLG -_-
I hoped that we'd have one, especially with how much time Walrus was on the forums you'd figure he'd have enough time to type up an article. It can't take that long to do : /
