I certainly hope he's ok. I believe he's done a good job as Architect Correspondent, and hate to see him MIA. However there are a lot of changes going on that need to be addressed and if he doesn't show up soon a replacement will need to be made

So rather than discuss decay here, buried under a totally different title, go ahead and START a thread on decay and lay out why you think is a bad idea.
On suggestion, since the architect product line has some really radically different 'branches', might be to explicitly separate out the issue of decay and repeat business on a branch by branch basis - it might keep the discussions more focused and less muddy (although I'm not hopeful. )

Back on topic, it is time for us to start the process of looking for a new correspondent. It has been too long since we've seen AA, and as architects, we cannot accept this situation. The most likely scenario is that AA is playing Horizons or some other new fangled game he got for/during the holidays. It's a lot less likely that he is actually hurt or in some kind of trouble, so let's just politely wish him well and then go about taking care of our own business.

I guess is time for Thunderheart to find out, if there is anything to find out. Under NDA, I am sure there was some form of contact requirements, etc, etc.

Ok back to the topic, sorry I let myself get overworked about that in the wrong thread. I nominate Goliath (forum name Mkappus) from Intrepid for the Architect Correspondent--he's been a master architect from very early on, reads the forums religiously, is clear and lucid in his posts, he posts frequently, is also a Master Politican/Mayor of one of the largest cities on our server so he understands the crossprofession issues there, and is a generally nice guy.

Goliath(Mkappus) would not be a bad choice, although right now Im leaning a bit toward Pawlin.

You say the profession isn't about being an interior designer. Well guess what, that is what one of your trees is. You can't ignore that part just because you are happy with it being useless. People don't sell furniture because people don't buy it. The only reason harv sales are still going is because 10ish heavys were introduced and then 13ish heavys were introduced. How long this will last I haven't got a clue. But sooner or later the bulk of the harvs will be purchased and all you will sell to is new players. Yes they will buy harvestors but not enough for everyone to sell to.
Hey, I build city structures, gardens, houses, gardens and furniture, but if I want to make money so I can afford to make those marginal things, I have to make harvestors--not just heavies, mediums too. I want more than a small number of housing choices, which I have stated. I want 150-200 additional furniture and decorative items as I have stated in this very thread. I want colorization choices as I have stated. I want interior design styles. I want experimentation on factory speeds as I have stated. So I am stuck in the present you say?

I think every point here is valid. And should be prioritized by the community. To say that this is more important than that, is just one individuals opinion over anothers and useless if there is no one to collect the data, present it to the Devs, gather their response, and reply to the community. Right now we have no one to do that. AA is indeed MIA. As a correspondant, longer than 5 days away without forwarning is MIA and grounds for recruiting another correspondant.
We are supposed to be posting our issues weekly. When was the last post/response? This is not good if you want to get things fixed... remember "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". We've been silent WAY too long. The time for talk and speculation is over! It's time to get a correspondant and get it done within One Week!
And all these great issues included, my top issue is the lack of new schematics. And the HUGE difference in lot usage and design of the three house styles (Naboo, Tatooine, Generic/Corellian). Us Corellians are screwed by both lots (9 lot PA vs. 7 lot Tatooine, and 2 lot house vs. 1 lot Naboo) and design (EVERYONE Knows about the Mediums)..... just to put my 3 cents in. Oh and if you simply add one new schematic a month, that would partially satisfy the money grubbers since everyone wants whatever is NEW!

Vadikar and others, if you haven't done so yet then please cast your votes in the thread where we're looking for our current top 5 issues:
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=architect&message.id=43728
Whether we have a correspondent or not, it doesn't hurt for us to compile our top 5 list in the meantime.
