Temar is busy developing. Check out the changelogs to see his recent work.

He may seem quiet but is always about on the Staff Discord.

We have seen limelight attempt to expand into other games twice, why was both times support dropped quickly even though they had a good start, especially space engineers?

What is the ETA for changing map to Rockford

2) Is anything in place to try and revive the community had the exam season not been the player-base issue? As, if updates are done not quick enough (for what ever reason it may be), the remaining player-base may be lost

1. More openness. Changes in the staff team will soon follow, we are always thinking about more ways to do this, but I think we have managed to create a pretty good image of our self.

2. We have several Major - Medium updates in the pipes, with a lot of unique content, created by our development and contributor team.  We hope that will re-vitalize interest in the server, and give players more to do.

Support did not drop, Temar worked on it for a while after the launch, however, popularity of that server was not promising. The next expansion for LL will be planned carefully, no rush. If we have one.

To expand on that, would you say support for other servers was dropped too early? Popularity doesn't just appear overnight, and the SE server was down a lot of the time.

"ECSE will be back online shortly" was a message I remember reading and thinking, wow, can't wait for the ECSE to come back online shortly! Shortly after, it wasn't back online. When will the ECSE be back online, and if you don't have any plans for it soon, would you scrap the idea altogether?

Are there any plans on surveying the community about what is happening in-game, about the admins and how they do their work, or something in particular? If yes, when's that going to happen?

Since then the decision was made to re-code it almost completely. To allow a more secure, dynamic, and balanced system. It is in the works.

Will EvoRadio ever be back online? And what about "/evoradio on" for music inside cars?
I heard about licensing problems etc., probably because LL became a company?

ECR is a project i'm working on at the moment, it is still a thing and its something im hoping to make progress on for a relaunch at the end of July

It is true there have been issues, the main one being we've had difficulties with the panel and accessing it for a few months

The servers were up for plenty of time nobody wanted to play on them with the exception of a few people. Shit we barely have any people on the god damn rp server 99% of the time. LL just doesn't have the population.

In this thread I often saw "its in the works , several planed events , changes will follow soon" ect ect ect.
Is there actually a date for anything related to that? For exampe the map change is taking much time in my opinion. Sure the map cant be changed in one day but I think it all takes a bit too much time. Everything is just "we're on it". Correct me if Iam wrong please.

On the ECSE topic:
When I first started the project I wasn't good enough to re-design the entire front-end of it, I just decided to re-do the back-end from complete scratch not a single bit of code was re-used, in total this was near 100 files of code some of these files going over a thousand lines of code due to the sheer size of what ECSE needs to be, I know quite often people are getting tired of me/other saying "It's in the works" but I'd rather release a full polished project then something that is rushed and don't get me wrong,  I do appreciate you guys for waiting.
