Future of FL

[Nadrickk]

The purpose of a management team is to manage the server; I’m maintaining FL from a business and financial perspective, but I don’t have the time to be tuned in to every discussion about the gamemode, community, etc. anymore. I’ll still try to answer any questions I’m sent, but my scope of management is now not with the gamemode itself.

I didn’t expect to be in the position I am in now, going back 5/6 months to when I bought FL, but my career has taken off in a way I couldn’t have predicted. As a side effect of that, I’m regularly away from home, working long/late hours, inundated with meetings on days off, etc..

On the plus side, I love my job, and wouldn’t have been able to get there without experience gained from this place. The management team are capable people, there is a plan in place, they provide some of the best chances to revive the community. FL is not a simple mechanical being; there’s many complex issues at play, that a change in ownership clearly does not fix. Give the team some time.

Which is exactly what happend to Soulripper and Divey aswell. If you already so short into your ownership realized you dont have time to be around, why don't you sell it to someone whose capable of doing so? We both know there's people dying to take over, and do it properly. What you're basically saying is you're forced to be a half-hearted owner, because of your job - Which is understandable. But you're not even half a year into your ownership and you're already admitting you're partially gone. 

Do what's best for Fearless and not your self confidence. What you're saying here is clearly you put the Management on autopilot and then you go off, just.like.Divey. Fearless is not in a state where we can afford this. We need an active, caring and engaging owner in the community. Owner is not just about development and managing the team, the community needs you too. 

If what you're doing is enough, then we wouldve had no issues with Divey or Soulripper - but we did. Because they didnt exist. Fearless is NOT in a place to be left on autopilot. Hand the keys over to someone who cares - And got the time and ressources needed to turn this sinking ship into a proper community again. 

I've tried to remain civil here, but if you think that your only job is to manage Fearless from a financial and buisness side...then we're doomed. Thats FAR from what makes a successfull owner. And that statement is worrying if we should have any hope for the future of FL, which this entire thread is about.
