Because noone knows what unforseen issues might be caused by backing out the revamp.</p>

<p><cite>kela wrote:</cite></p><blockquote><span >Why in the world would the EQ2 Community Mangler be need at a dev chat with the EQ2 Community?</span></blockquote><p>Kiara plays a pretty integral role during the dev chats (as have Gnobrin, Grimwell, etc. in the past) which require a lot of coordination in order to run smoothly. Cal and Kiara pretty much keep the devs and us ZAM staff participating from running around aimlessly like a litter of kittens. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Actually, it's the only opportunity Kiara and I ahve to get together in the same place and throw cheese at Spyder.</p>

Cheese is expensive.. much cheaper to just flash me.. surprised they hadn't thought of that yet. ^^</p></blockquote><p>We have; we know you too well.</p><p>I'm getting really good questions, btw.  I'd remind folks that the Fighter Class revamp was scrapped for a do-over yesterday, so I'm throwing out questions specific to that so's not to waste time.  (Questions about the future of the fighter class do-over revamp are staying in.)</p>

<p>I just sent some really good questions.  I can't wait for tomorrow.  I think this is going to be a really good/informative devloper chat.</p>

Just to be sure of the hour... It's written 4 p.m. PST on the oppening post but you're in Daylight saving time yes ? So is it PST or PDT ? We're not yet in daylight saving time in France (CET) so I'm wondering if we are on +8 or +9 so midnight or 1 am.
