    Well I've been away from SOTA a lot lately and I've just noticed we haven't heard much of anything from FireLotus in quite awhile... I know she said she'd be concentrating on story content these days... but I hear she didn't put in an appearance at the last FireLotus opening day party and was just wondering if she's still around??

    A couple people left in February... According to twitter, she's been working on a blog, so that might be a way to catch up. :)

    I miss FireLotus.

    It's a familiar scenario - someone with a "customer" facing job leaves a company voluntarily or gets fired and just disappears without a word or any official send-off. (I put "customer" in quotes because the "customers" are sometimes colleagues within the same company.) It leaves people wondering and is bad for morale.

    Afaik, Gina "FreLotus" started as CM and then she was working with Lum (quests, dialogs, etc). No idea what happened after that, but I always thought she was a permanent employee in Portalarium.

    edit: She is still visible on the website as "Community / Content Writer".

    Doesn't she still DJ once a month on one of the radio stations coupled with an in-game dance party?

    I had no idea she was gone . That's a shame. I really wish Port would have at least let us know that she was departing. :(

    well cant blame them for not sharing, they knew the community liked her and didnt want any more things for people to complain about, or two shes not gone forever? **Shrugs** I preferred her as Community Manager to be honest. Thought she did fantastic job!

    It would seem so, based on her twitter posts.

    I doubt whether she is/was liked or whether people would complain about it, had anything to do with Port not saying she left. I don't remember them telling the community about anyone who left the company, ever. And I've been around a long time.

    Last I heard she was working with lum and then we got the new Quests writer. Perhaps @Berek could advise since the community is asking. I hate to see the dev team lose anyone who can help at this stage of development.
