Dear GemStone IV Community,
Unfortunately, I need to let you know that SGM Khaladon is no longer a member of the GemStone IV staff.
SGM Khaladon, known as Paul to many of us, contributed heavily to our community, both as a player and a GameMaster. He put a lot of passion and heart into his efforts here, from his wild merchants to his management of the Premium & Platinum communities. There was never a question that he cared about the game, its players, and his colleagues. We wish Paul the best and hope that all his future endeavors are equally as meaningful as what he has done for us here.
SGM Lothwyn will be managing the Upsells vision going forward. His professionalism and commitment to customer service excellence are qualities that make him an outstanding candidate for this position. The Upsells team, along with the Events team, will create a new team called Events and Promotions. These talented folks will work together to continue making GemStone IV one of the most immersive online experiences available.
Thank you for being patient and understanding during this transitional phase.
Sincerely,
Kitrina
GemStone IV, Assistant Product Manager

Beetles Buffed to BCS

Beetles have been updated to the Basic Critter System (BCS). This update includes bringing their poison gas fart maneuver up to modern standards, adding new messaging and making beetles puncture resistant rather than puncture immune.

There comes a time...

Hello my friends,
It is with my deepest regrets that I announce that I am resigning from the Office Staff of Simutronics effective October 31, 2007. The primary reason I have chosen to part ways from the office is to relocate my family closer to my wife's family in Arizona to start the next stage of our lives.
Simutronics, and in particular GemStone III/IV, has been part of my life since January 1996 when I first found the portal into Elanthia and this community. Almost 12 years have passed and I have yet to regret a single day or decision I've made, either as a player or a member of staff.
I have been a member of staff since I was officially hired as GameHost Silvaran back in March of 1999. Prior to my departure, I was the 5th longest tenure member of staff outside of such highly regarded members of staff like SGMs Warden and Isten, as well as, FGMs Andraste and Modrian.
I have never held a single interaction against any of you regardless of how many times we may have agreed or disagreed. It doesn?t matter if it was helping players in GemStone III as a GameHost, handling referrals as a GameMaster, or for the past 6+ years, addressing your Feedback concerns (DragonRealms and GemStone III/IV) as Feedback Coordinator Antavian or Billing Representative Gary.
I plan to stay around and get back into playing the games with more frequency than I did as a staff member and it's possible that I may stay on in a diminished capacity as a GameMaster for GemStone IV, though this is not something I have decided as of yet.
To the friends...No, that isn't quite right. To the family that I've had the honor of sharing these past 11+ years with, I thank you all for your caring and loving support. Whether you are a member of staff (past, present or future) or one of the many players I've enjoyed interacting with throughout the years, you all have had a significant impact in the life of my family.
So, without making this any longer than it needs to be...Thank you and best wishes to you all.
Sincerely,
Simu-Gary
