Thanks for the recommendation Vertexon. It means a lot!
I hope we can have a positive effect (assuming we actually get to go do anything), and I hope that we can represent the creature handler community fairly and finally bring our profession back into the mesh with everyone else.
I fully expect that if I'm allowed to say anything about what is going on (again, assuming I actually make it past the dev selection) that we'll spur discussion here, and I hope those of you who are normally very vocal and did not make the "list of 5" will continue to contribute to this sandbox effort. Especially those of you who sometimes get in heated arguments with me...
As far as I'm concerned, I want to represent the community as a whole in this testing, so make your opinions known when it reaches that point.
Again, thanks gang... I'll shaddup now.

One thing,
If we see our sandbox crew cancelling their accounts, that should give us enough lead time to sell what we have and leave.
Have fun in there guys.

Pluto wrote for you:
First and foremost Grats to all.
It is my understanding that the Sandbox Idea mirrors that of a real world Sandbox. You will be playing in a set area. For sake of argument let's say it is Darjani Plains on Dantooine. You cannot play outside the Sandbox. You will be only testing new things. Rare Collecting, and other CH stuff will not be the main goal of the game. So in essence there will not need to be a new chat developed (not to say there won't be either) because you can use planet chat (or some other such method).
Another Correspondent intimated that it was the hardest volunteer job and that many would not see much time on their Main Characters. It was also suggested that this job consists of repetitious performance of the same tasks many many times over. It is in fact, testing and not playing.
I had looked forward to this. Unfortunately, it is the perception of unwillingness to work with others that did me in. I do not or will not second guess myself, for what ever reason it is not meant for me to be there. I know that you 5 will do the best you can.

uh, yeah. i'm just going to continue doing what i feel would be best to get optimum results from the testing. better methods of organization and the ability to switch between multiple different situations will allow us to test all possible circumstances that may arise in the rebalance. we're all testing the sandbox. each and every person chosen has dedicated themselves to their profession, and the more can work with eachother, and the more we do work with eachother, the more we can determine the viability of each profession in the rebalance. those two issues will bring tremendous strides in making that testing.
tell pluto thanks for the congratulations, but as per his statements, i believe that we will be able to handle ourselves fine, thanks.

hehe,
He says, "wasn't meaning to offend just relaying what conjecture I had read. Lots of time to read lately. /wink. But I do agree it would be best with a character builder so you can test each box of CH along the way and the myriad of possibilities for templates."

Vert, excellent choices.
I'll be participating as a marksman sandbox participant, but I'll have SP left over, and the blessing of the marksman correspondant, to do CH as well.

Good luck all of you I just really wish I could play b/c belive me I have 8-12 hrs a day playtime here. But sadly I cannot so please I encourage everyone to make the most uber template possible by mixing CH with the other professions and report these to the devs so they can be fixed. I know you all will do the community proud.
