The issue has always been the fact that there is this rush to fill a vacant staff position, and rather than taking the time to evaluate all the potential candidates and picking the right one to open position we often times (due to it being the easier choice) decided to pick the one who seemed to be most active at that time, rather than qualified, and those people are usually only good at sweet talking as an attempt to get more power. Results matter more than empty words, and that is why I will keep closely monitoring the work of every staff department during my spare time.
Events department looks to be in a good shape and they are moving to the right direction, although there is always room for some improvement. This would include things such as better scheduling and planning of events, encouraging more variation and freedom when hosting events, and other things similar to those suggestions.
Training section of staff needs to be reevaluated. I feel that someone else needs to take over the head position of that department as the current head has close to no experience when it comes to hosting and in my opinion that is a quality that you need to have as a trainer, along with having a good attitude and plenty of patience.
We have a vacant head position in the TWD league department, and even general lack of competent and active staff in the same department, which is one of the areas that we need to cover in the near future.
TWEL and TWDT seem to be in a good condition as several staff members are stepping up their game. The estimated starting date of TWEL is January 23rd or 24th at least based on what I have heard from Mythril, and I will help with the project during my free time.
Development team is doing their own thing at a decent pace, no complaints from me. They seem to have a clear vision of what they want and need to do in order to help the zone. Their projects as of late have included things such as a new installer with nice features (which would likely be used during steam launch) such as pre-downloaded maps and banners, updated zone list(s), additional options, and several website and bot quality-of-life changes.
Marketing team is nonexistent and has not progressed much at all since in the recent months. Spawnisen is in charge of that department at the moment, but that may change as he has been very inactive lately and has not provided any results. On the bright side, Shadowmere and 9th have done a stellar job on our social media pages keeping them up-to-date with the latest news and events.
We recently got a new head of Public and he will closely work with a small team to make good quality changes, but I'm afraid that the levithan will not return back to its former self as the damage has already been dealt. We have had some good discussions about the future of our main arena and hopefully we can start rolling out some of the changes in the near future.
I will have to wait and see what the Deans of Staff are planning on doing, but so far I have heard good ideas and plans.

and it would be very hard to convince staff to replace that map (for a bit anyway)... Although I'm very sure that map would be a lot more appealing to new players since it looks tons more modern. That map did have a few things wrong with it that a majority of old players didn't like but it could have been corrected but anyway i can't see it happening (I tried and failed).
