Here is some random “news” type updates from the official forums for those of you who can’t access them.

First is the news that MattN, the Summoner Team Advocate, has been hired by FSS as a Junior Game Designer. Congratulations to MattN on his new position, however it now means that the Summoner Team Advocate position is once again open.

The original Summoner Team Advocate, MattN, has been hired as a Junior Game Designer here at Flagship Studios. Congrats and welcome, Matt! As such, the Summoner Team Advocate position is open and available for new Summoner aficionados to apply for. Additionally, the Guardian Team Advocate position is also available.

What is the Team Advocate Program
The goal of our Team Advocate Program is to amass the feedback, knowledge, and play experience of our community to better ensure that every aspect of Hellgate: London is as enjoyable as possible.

What are Team Advocates
Team Advocates are players that volunteer their free time to assist the Hellgate: London development team by providing testing, compilations of player feedback, general feedback on proposed changes, and new ideas on ways to improve their area of the game. Team Advocates also have a secondary mission of helping to keep the player base informed on Flagship Studios’ positions on issues related to their topics.

Second are the new amounts that have been set for the donation targets.

After monitoring players’ donation habits over the course of a week, we’ve decided to decrease the target amount for the war drive (donation) to two million palladium. When this donation goal is met, a random buff is bestowed upon all players on the server at that time and lasts for 30 minutes. These buffs do not dissipate upon logout, allowing for 30 total minutes of buff time.

Donate well; donate often! Donations of 100,000 palladium or higher will result in public recognition!

Third is the news from the front page Underground Communique 5, most of which we already know about, but the news being that Scapes is going on a vacation to Japan. What makes this important however is that on the forums he has been hinting that he will have the lowdown of the Patch 2 notes updated on the forums before he leaves!
