Their DDO Forum account is still active (you can still PM them).

They're pretty good about deactivating Dev accounts when they leave.

It is weird Lynn hasn't posted since the middle of December, though.

It seems Tolero is salaried and has lots of time to spare. Good for her.
But for Lynn who knows what kind of deal they struck with Sev.

Trans people are pretty notorious for breaking down.
Not that I am judging, but as a personality type they are generally high in openness and neuroticism.
This makes them good at changing things and networking but they have a hard time with hierarchy and grind. I know she wanted to make more inspired loot and that she ran straight into the crappy boundaries set by the changes they made to make everything templated. She doesn't have engineering knowledge to really add new effects. Hopefully she has been moved to a different part of the team and is working on the mini-expansion.

You're assuming anyone around here respects SSG.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

I respect mother nature more than people's stupid bullshit. You should to. It may save you from the meme diseases of new and old age religions alike.

I refuse to respect anyone who insists on being refered to as "they". Fuck that noise.

Is stupid bitch gender neutral?
I try to use they when talking about that stupid bitch because I do not want to hurt it feelings.

People like that are so sensitive that by the very act of you yourself having a firm gender identity, you hurt he/her/its feelings. So don't even try to avoid it, you've already failed.

I identify as "person to whom I owe all my money immediately."

So, if you could refer to me that way, and respect my identity, I would appreciate it. If you don't, you're a hatemonger. So...

Lynabel has likely left SSG based on a twitter post they put out in January saying something along the lines of, "This year I'm taking care of myself."

As we all know trans folk tend to have a high attrition/burn out rate as brought up by WonderfulFoppyBint.

Based on their posts over the past 2-3 years on the forums, it's clear they've been experiencing a steadily increasing feeling of malaise towards their job and a growing hostility towards the community at large when players weren't singing their praises.

It is a shame though. With Lynabel gone it's amazing how much of a ghost town this Lamania cycle has been on dev replies to any sort of feedback on really anything. If I was ever going to start screaming D00M for DDO, it'd probably be now with Lynabel seemingly MIA as it's pretty clear the rest of the devs give little to no fucks at this point and are making 'content' solely to please the higher ups at EG7.

That might explain the recent advertising for a game designer, world builder, or whatever.

The devs all but admitted outright feedback on Lamanaia is a waste of time. So really, what is the difference?

You're not wrong, but check out Aelonwy's (sp?) signature in any of her DDO Forum posts.

EDIT: It wasn't in Aelonwy's signature. It was one of her posts:
