I know I'll be preaching to deaf ears, here, but I should at least say it.
Debbie is honestly dead and gone.
Now, if you want to argue about whether or not "Phil" is still dead or not, by all means, go ahead and debate it on your truth sites and what not... we honestly just don't have the heart to bother with you guys right now. We have bigger things on our plate, mostly because of Debbie's passing.
However, I can tell you with absolute honesty that Debbie won't be coming back as one of the "New" GMs. They are, honestly and truthfully, other players on the server who submitted applications in our Hiring Event, as mentioned in the announcement on our forums some time ago.
I know that it won't help to dissuade you from thinking it's the case, especially seeing as we've waited until now to work more actively on the hiring of new GMs, and since we'll be adding more staff within the next few months, you'll have plenty of free space to speculate about it.
But nonetheless... R.I.P. Debbie.
I know you guys don't have a lot of faith in Harken, but in all honesty, you're not going to see any gigantic negative changes to the server. Harken is, by far and large, the GM who cares about the player base the most. Even the conspirators and truth aficionados like to say that Debbie's involvement in AnimaRO was purely an attempt to earn money, and none of you have ever been able to say the same about Harken.
Don't knock it until you see where we go. I think that AnimaRO, in whatever incarnation, has a bright future.
