Yeap it has happened, well it will next month, Phillip Rosedale will be stepping down as CEO and stay on working on the things he is best at and hopefully turning over the more corporate type reigns over to Mark Kingdon, (M Linden, no I’m not kidding, the letter M).

Apparently M has ventured in-world and has sucessfully learned how to be a champion afk’er. A promising start, to be sure.


And so what do I think? I will wait and see, there is so much other stuff going on and changing in world, code wise, etc. I think honestly that any forecasting we might attempt will fall short. This is an entirely new dynamic I suspect, and as always, things won’t be dull.
