It is with great sadness that we have to announce that Kloopy, A2 and Mushroom have made the decision to leave PATeam to concentrate their time on other projects and generally have a life beyond the internet.

During his time in PATeam Kloopy has made huge contributions to the games development and has most recently been responsible for managing Planetarion's servers. You can pass on your thanks to Kloopy here.

A2 has also made huge contribution to the game in many ways; he has done an excellent job with Mushroom looking after the #planetarion ops team, and of a time in the past, he acted, if not as our leader, as our levelheaded friend.

Mushroom has been in PATeam for pretty much forever, and we will certainly find it very difficult to fill the Mushroom-shaped imprint on the team sofa. We hope he goes on to have a great future beyond Planetarion. You can say goodbye to Mushroom here.

All three will be sorely missed and we wish them every success in the future.

However, all is not doom and gloom.

Lunar_Lamp has returned to PATeam in the position of Servers Manager. He will be working hard to improve our performance on this front.

Assassin has agreed to return as Head of MultiHunters, replacing Cincinnatus, who will now concentrate on game development with Appocomaster.

Squishy will also be returning to PATeam in the role of Head of Channels and Ops Team, with Markb joining him as his deputy.

All of these appointments will contribute towards us continuing to improve the game in 2007.
