Regarding Mods, Communication, and Priorities

The NSL has been hard at work last week to investigate and address the major issues at hand. This has been an incredibly big undertaking, as every issue at stake affects the NSL right down to its core. As we found, we are completely unable to operate without the assistance of our modders our community provides.

We have taken the time to meet with Mendasp (The owner and genius behind NS2+), Dragon (The god behind the NSL mod and the Comp Mod), and Rantology from the PDT (Paid Development Team). We have wrapped our heads around the issues each of them highlights, and we have come up with a response that we have taken (and will continue to take) to UWE.

There may be the misconception that we aim the blame and resentment at the PDT, or particular members of the PDT. We wish to dispel that notion. All of us understand that the PDT was given strict guidelines on the direction of development. This doesn’t change the fact that those guidelines were not in the best interest of the modders or a large portion of the existing community. Therein lies the problem.

Positive changes have taken place over the last few days. The PDT has heard the message loud and clear, and they’ve taken action on the first steps of remedying this crisis, and have begun laying the groundwork for a relationship with the community, the NSL, and the modders that can prevent this kind of problem from ever happening again.
