    Greetings

    Well I suppose it has come the time to introduce myself properly.

    My name is Spiritcreeper and I am a new developer on Utopia. While Sean and Brian work hard on Utopia, they unfortunately cannot spend as much time on it as they used to.

    My duties are solely on Utopia, though I am not a full time employee. I believe, however, that I will be able to keep the game maintained.

    It is clear from the forums that Utopia does have a number of problems at the moment, bugs and server lag have plagued players and these are things I definitely want to address.

    Since the codebase of Utopia is large, and I am not familiar with it, it will take me a little while to get into a proper speed at fixing things and maintaining it, so bear with me for the next few weeks.

    I'll also try to post regularly on the forums. If you have any questions or comments, please ask away.

    Is your main task coding too? Do you have any background from Utopia or other similar games?

    Yes my main task is coding, but I will be managing cheaters, too.

    No, I don't have any background in Utopia, and I realize this makes me slightly less capable to make decisions about changes in game mechanics, so Sean and Brian will be staying on that for a while. I'm currently going to be really only dealing with technical problems.

    Just be sure to listen to the community, especially the guys with a lot of posts, we've been playing the game since 1999 so we kinda know what we are talking about most of the time. Especially me.

    number of posts does not mean you guys have the most intellegence or knowledge of this game. Most people avoid these forums because of the forum trolls. 99´ aint old school! ;-)

    Yeah, you guys obviously know what needs to be fixed in the game, and are quite vocal about it on the forums, so I'm definitely going to be paying attention to the issues that are the most pressing, but I don't want to get into a habit of implementing every change someone suggests, which ends up ruining a game.

    Yay! One more developer for us to flame. :D

    Lol, just kidding. Welcome to the community. And perhaps may I suggest, if you have time, spend some of it to get the Questions in Q&A sections answered. Some of us would ask questions there, and hope to get it answered, so it would be nice if someone from the devs are there constantly.

    Welcome again!

    p/s: And regarding the number of posts by forum users, it doesn't mean anything. Those with ridiculous amount of posts are often trolls. :)
