As of January 1st of 2014, we have been running under a different structure of staff.
So, what's different? Well, the biggest thing is each department in staff is run more on it's own. Each has it's own staff, quota, etc. It is still completely available for someone to be in multiple departments though.
What does this mean for the average player? Not a ton, but if you have ever wanted to join staff, and only host, or help with cheaters, or work with marketing, it's now completely possible. You can join under a single department, and only be expected to perform in that department.
No more ZH -> ER -> Mod -> League Op promotion road. You can now join (as ZH) in any department, then work up from there. The deans of staff (POiD and Beasty) still have some say in who is hired, but it's much more based on who the head of the department is interested in having on their team.
Speaking of ER's, you won't be able to notice them as easily anymore, as we have removed the requirement to wear the <er> Staff tag.
Leagues have also been split into TWD and TWL. Instead of both being run by a single person, each league is now run independantly in a Staffing standpoint.
Our current departments (and heads thereof) are as follows:
Bans- Dezmond
TWL- Reckful
TWD- Conspiracy (dsb)
Marketing and Newplayer Retention- 24
Events and Support- WillBy (events), and Shaddowknight (support)
Development (not exactly a part of staff, but closely linked)- Krynetix

Public listing of staff members

The Staff Application has also been updated with a Department selection option.
The creation of the Council was also a part of this movement, with qan as the head of it.
If you want to join, or rejoin, and be able to focus on a single portion of the zone, now you can! So... do it! Talk to the head in whichever department you want to join and fill out an application. If you want to join, but don't know which department you want to work in, that's fine, you can still join as a general ZH and then decide from there.</er>
