What happens when the DEVs retire?

[charliegrs]

I was curious, lets say in the future when this mod hits version 1.0 and above that the DEVs decide that they want to quit and move on with their lives, what happens to PR? Im talking like the lead devs, like rhino. Maybe they will reach a point where they are satisfied with everything thats in the mod or they will have reached a wall in terms of what can be done with the bf2 engine? Will you guys hand it off to other capable individuals who are willing to go forward with its development? Perhaps you will reach a certain point where the only additions that will be made will be by the community mods? Il understand if you guys dont really have an answer for this yet, but the main thing im curious about is if your planning on letting others take over.

well, we will all go here:


and we will have our own personal one of these,





lol... just kidding... I think the secret is in succession planning.. You will see that the team players in the PR community will always develop talent so the mod will continue to flourish.

I am sure that Egg, UK, or Jaymz can add more.

I think it'll evolve into something more than a mod someday. Seeing as people's interest for PR keeps growing, and as this is the greatest game on a PC, by far, there'll never be a lack of future Devs, and I'm certain these professional mod makers we have now stays longer than most of the players. We'll just have to wait and see.

Well, requiem, the guy who founded the PR, has been gone for a year now. He seems to have handed it off, I can only imagine the same thing would happen with the current generation of DEVs.

That shady Swiss banker is living it up in the Caribbean. Who do you think launders our whore and coke money?

I'm gonna buy a farm where all the Devs/mods/cons can retire and live happily.

hmmmmm..



a few more facts about that 'farm' please.

also, don't forget about the R-COMs!

[akatabrask]

Ooooh... like a pet farm, which we can visit and look at the (retired) devs, perhaps even feed them?

[Galliruler]

I'll bring some chicken!

[mp5punk]

LOL yea i like the first post would love to have myself one of those, but im sure even if a Lead Dev retires that he will pas it down to someone else and eventually that PR will become nation wide somehow so there will always be people im sure.

Impossible, Fastrope are hardcoded

lol joke

[Hans Martin Slayer]

"We took them to a nice big farm where they can run and play all day and the word "hardcoded" doesn't exist".

that's basically what happens in the dev forums.

[CodeRedFox]

[=Romagnolo=]

RETIRE OR DIE ?






This advertasing is here just for the lulz!

[steve_06-07]

If we pitch in I can get 500 acres, import some Military vehicles/weapons etc and have big massive battles with fastropes and everything. Plus we can have a spa, olympic sized swimming pool, a gymnasium, a few pubs/bars located throughout. Also have a petting zoo where you can feed them!

[RedAlertSF]

When they retire, everybody miss them and forums are posted full of "i'm so sad"-topics. Then they come back.
