All the worry about RP and events being damaged by these changes....i dont think there's anything to worry about, it's a change which people will adapt to.
Grideris = Logi which imo is a good thing after a few weeks ago as he joins the team
The 10 year special edition being sent out in October contains 'special codes' related to LIVE EVENTS and even a dev leaked recently that the Winter expansion will contain 'Shades Of Grey'.
I built PANDORA and released it a week ago in expectation which will stream RP related ingame player-events and LIVE EVENTS and have its own news 'as it happens'.
Hopefully all is for the good of tightening up loose bits and bolting it all together for getting the RP ferrari in the fast lane and i r excite!
