I am sure that all of you are familiar with the Operations team. Some of you have supported it, while others have called the act of founding it a ridiculous and unnecessary act. Well those people are going to love this.
The Operations team will be merging into the Main server development staff.
Why? Because we do not currently have the funds to keep the Debug server afloat... so we're losing it for a good length of time into the foreseeable future.
However, I want to take some time out to give thanks to Novice and Matt, who made Operations team a success.
I am merging the Operations team because rebirth will now be developed on the main server, separate from game play (for now) and it will become extremely confusing having Operations and mainserver staff develop, it's easier to revert back to the centralized system and shift attention to the main server. Leaving the ET devs to attend to the main server development.
It is possible Operations will unmerge once Project Rebirth is unmerged and we have a debug server open and running again.
