    I just asked the question the other day regarding Dallas Snell stepping down as COO, apparently back in May. Very sobering if Richard did in fact step down as CEO.

    I'd wish him well in future endeavors, but would definitely want to know who's filling the role.

    I doubt he would have signed all those game boxes if he was leaving.

    No, it clearly says that he is only
    Role: Creative Director/Founder

    Before it said Role: CEO/Creative Director/Founder

    So somethings up.

    If there’s any actual change, I will just wait for an official announcement. Speculation just leads to loads of BS....

    Very worrying indeed. Hopefully we get some sort of statement soon.

    Like how they announced Dallas was leaving ?

    There wouldn't be speculation of they were open about what is happening in the company.

    Agreed. The way the whole partnership with Black Sun and Travian was handled (lack of any notice) at release was excessively disruptive to the release itself and disrespectful to the playerbase.

    I could go on, but I don't want to have to get a Reddit account to discuss the game or provide "feedback" in the future. :rolleyes:

    Perhaps they're just doing away with tired old labels... like "release" and "launch"...
