First off, we wanted to welcome the newest dev to the fold: Binkyuk!

(golf applause)

There appear to be some more devs in the pipeline too, so stay tuned.

Secondly, with more and more of my attention being taken up by NS5 and real life lately, I haven't been able to devote the time to NS4 that she deserves. So, I'm stepping down as lead dev for NS4 and handing the reigns over to the capable hands of Zing, whom you know and love.

So, thanks for allowing me to play a part in the NS4 life-cycle! It's been a blast to be able to work on things over the years. I'll still be around and may still toss a few contributions over the wall here and there.

But everyone wish Zing congrats and good luck!

I thought I'd post this here so people can offer their congratulations since only moderators can post in the News and Announcements Forum.

Binkyuk: Congratulations!
Zing: Congratulations and condolences!

Flailer: Thank you for all you've contributed to the community up to and including NS4 and thanks for working so hard on NS5!

Congratulations and a hearty thanks for all your hard work, each of you!

It takes an interesting game to bring my personal productivity to a screeching halt like this, good job!

If anyone deserves this it is Binkyuk, he hasn't been a pain on the forums or in-game and has contributed greatly to the Wiki.

being a pain in game or on the boards is just part of being an ns4 player. the server is based on bad blood lol the boards are just an extension of the game and i treat them as a role playing area sometimes like i would the server.

anyway grats to all and we will miss you flailer. and just to get it out of the way now, sorry zing.... lol

Good stuff...

Thanks!
I have a tough act to follow. Wish me luck!

Lots to get up to speed on, but hopefully it won't be too long before you see my first change log post.

Congratulations to Binkyuk and Zing for continuing the tradition of excellent development on NS.

Flailer we all appreciate the time and effort you put in with the new areas scripting and i guess work on spell changes - along with the DMs.

You will be missed!
