	RIP DDO Actually, as per Felgor, DDO died a long time ago we're just having trouble admitting it.

	Hmm, methinks bogus, but, who knows From layoffs.com Nearly half of the developers working on The Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons and Dragons Online were laid off this morning. Asheron's Call was wiped out, too. Big layoffs throughout the rest of the studio.

	I see only positives moving DDO development offshore.

	So you want to know about an exploit? PM Epoch For Details. Or, in case you don't already know, OnePercenter controls the Exploits Board. Lastly, if you're truly desperate, Vendui Tells Everyone

	I hope they get outsourced to where I'm from - so I can track them down and wriggle my way up their ranks. So I can put guild slots back in.

	...and is anyone else thinking that FoS got real lucky with the timing of his departure? I'm also curious to see if the Brand/Commerce Manager made the cut. May have been a really bad time to take the new title. But... who knows at this point. I'm just very curious to see who is left and who got cut.

	Dickbutt wrote on Feb 12^th, 2014 at 11:29am: His final day was Jan 31. The post claims lay offs were on Feb 7. Laid off employees would be given advance notice. The Vault would reasonably believe that FoS would choose to leave on his own terms, rather than be fired a week later. He ghostbaned his severance package.

	NOTSunnyshadow wrote on Feb 12^th, 2014 at 4:05pm: Am I the only one hoping that the Community Manager position would be wiped and given to someone who plays the game, loves it, would take care of it, feed it, water it, hide its poo under some dirt, and not feed it to live piranhas? I think this is how we got Jerry. They just failed to separate the good players from the ass kissing clueless ones.

	Looks like the poster here had the goods. Not all that surprising. ML shutting down, expansion without the development to justify it, change of senior management, and staff being pulled out of the game all points towards what we are seeing here.

	Still here. i leave when they pull the plug on the hamster wheel. DDO still kicking. Half is not at all true. I can't give numbers of course, but everything that we talked about earlier in the year took this into account. As of right now, everything that the EP talked about is still happening.

WOW your a piece of work, you know how to post here but can't post in your forums. Shows whats wrong with the game when its own leader can't talk on its own forums.

	Layoff day sucks. For everyone. I hate them. Someone posted a list, I doubt it is supposed to be public and probably won't remain that way but it had 14 people. Lots of LotRO cuts. Lots of QA (can't tell which teams). One DDOer but I don't know most of these names and more could be DDO for all I know.

Thanks for weighing in on this. I appreciate that you can't get too specific, but it's good to get at least some information from the other side. Glad you're still around; condolences to those printing resumes.
