New Manager

[MysticX2X]

Reality is that not much can even be done with Storm out of the way because of this preservation for Classic. But Storm does a lot less than what the normal manager does. He should dictate how development goes all in all. Thor is there to watch over the dev staff and lead projects (as well as other things). Storm just shouldn't "help", he should be the one casting the show here.

He claims that he is always responding to players which gets in the way of his work time, but that is doubtful with Classic's playercount. I remember Subzero and Crowfeather, former managers of UN, being able to answer my PM's and several other peoples and get **** done as well as act on player inputs.

Aside from what is mentioned in what I've quoted below, what does "the normal manager" do?

This may be the staff hierarchy of many servers, but it is not what happens on Classic and I'm not sure it ever has. The person in charge of the development leads the direction of the server development, not the manager. It is true that the manager should be discussing the direction of the server, but in the times that I've spoken to Storm about the server direction he seems to be aware of what the development teams have wanted to go in, which suggests he does do this.

For starters, be active. Direction control of development. Handling input. Coming up with innovative content Watching over the Staff team. Storm may do that all from time to time, but if he isn't going to step down, then he should be active at the least.

2 UN Manager's have been removed in past 1-1 1/2 years for inactivity/lack of updating(One manager twice), though not as worse as Storm's case. It's only time before Storm faces the same treatment.

Being aware isn't enough. I have doubts he even suggested any new development ideas at all. Anyone can approve an idea. Storm needs to be the person giving the ideas and assignments to the Dev Team where they handle it from then on. Not have the Dev team come up with ideas and have Storm give a nod. On top of all that, he doesn't even log on as often as a manager should. If he gets too busy that he can't even log on once a day (he logs on once or twice every few days), then It's clearly his time to go, and anyone will agree on that. Classic shouldn't be any different when other server managers have been removed for being exactly like how Storm has been.

@Ben: I don't know if he just wants to be in charge. If he did, he would of been doing what we have urged him to do. Maybe he just likes his tag and RC. Or maybe that's what just what wanting to be in charge is .
