I know, I know. We seem to have a lot of these recently. But hopefully this will be a happy change! I want to start off by saying that, with the approval of Baal and the rest of the staff, Redd is returning to staff to help us out. We've been working on reorganizing/restructuring workload of our staff, shifting things around so there is less strain on everyone. Which brings us to the involvement of retired staff; on the front end you guys won't see a lot of changes, but hopefully the changes we've made will make Evelon more friendly for staff that wish to formally retire but still work on things from time to time.
One of the big changes is that add-ons done by retired staff at their official add-on shops will no longer have to go through Adornments, Alterations, and Amendments for approval (if they were previously approved for official art). You might over time see seasonals/event pets colored by them as well.
Anyways, this probably isn't a well typed update, but I just wanted to get it out that we've been reworking things on the back end, and it's possible there may be even more changes down the road as we continue moving toward improvements for staff.
