  1. The publicity of staff applications has always felt very alien to me. I (and the majority of other staff members) agree that we'd prefer them being handled internally rather than have people comment on them and be public — it doesn't help anything and can lead to baseless, bias comments that can hold someone back. 

    An interview is pretty... overboard. I think it's too excessive and it's something that you can already gauge just by experience and general knowledge of the person by how long they've been here. The starting role of any staff member is Server Support and their direct role is to ensure players are given information and guidance when needed.

    My opinion is the same with polling as it is interviews, it's not something we need or can be used to accurately know whether an individual is going to do what they're meant to do and how confident they are in doing it. 

    From the years and years of handling staff members in other communities, the best way to handle staff-related tasks is internally. An application gets posted, staff members post on that thread with their experience with said individual, concerning issues and general opinions on them — this is the most efficient and viable way in my opinion. 

    We had a staff meeting recently and the topics of staff applications and staff feedback threads were brought up, a lot of us felt that they are ancient, they aren't needed and certain things should be kept in staff rather than public.

  2. The last three update logs will be posted today. This is something we constantly do, however, we have been extremely busy with continuous fixes and have not had time to write up the post(s). I'll be locking this as this is something we do. Be on the look out for a post for the last three development blogs today!

  3. We originally implemented the idea of adding item rewards for daily task completion, however, the Development Team decided against it and removed it — that's why you only see XP now. We won't be pursuing this for the time being, however, feel free to suggest this again later down the line.
