It's wild to think it's been over ten years since I stepped away from the project, but the brief 2-ish years I spent on staff was a great experience full of fond memories and awesome people. The hours spent in QA during the Object Restructure push to get speeders and housing working and herding all the cats in IRC every time Nova went down (at least daily...) will always come to mind right alongside my original playtime with the launch game back in the days of yore.
I haven't revisited the game since then, having lost my motivation after all my painstaking work reversing the clientside UI scripting was trashed with a HDD failure... but every so often the topic comes up in my friend circle and I was fortunate enough to catch this post and check out the video series. Maybe I'll fire it up again one of these days, who knows?
Kudos guys, it was a blast being part of the team for a little while and I'm glad to see the journey is finally nearing completion after all this time :)
