Now that the migration has presumably happened and our dear CM has departed, there's still a few things I believe both me and the whole community are somewhat confused about.

1. Has the migration happened? It seems a bit unclear since well, everything is the way OOO left it. Are you keeping the same servers?

2. Are you planning on making the game open source? Since you did that with Bang! Howdy and Whirled, it's what I expected for Spiral Knights as well, but I understand that it'd put you in a place where you're essentially competing against yourself while also perhaps being quite understaffed and it may result in other players feeling the value of their items is diminished if say, someone creates a server with infinite energy like the test servers.

3. Are there any future plans for the game?

4. How does it look in terms of GMs? Are there any left?

They hopefully start answering our questions very soon, it's starting to seem they're just as bad as the old developers, communication with your community is important! It's not even like we're asking too much, just that this whole event got too shady with it's lack of info.

We don't even know how many work in Grey Havens, nor seen a greeting from one of them.

Calm your beards.

It is just still too fresh.
Theese things dont go from one day to another. And im sure they got 101 more important thing than reading the forum. They probably havent even assigned an exact person as community manager yet.
Give them more time. And by more time i dont mean days. I mean weeks at least.
You can start worrying and flipping tables if nothing happens before the end of May.
Until then give them some breathing space for Gods sake.

Probably just getting everything prepared, after the weekly update they'll probably start the introductions.

@Sweetsu
Perhaps because we already know who they are: two OOO founders. I agree that communication leaves a bit to be desired but you have to bear in mind that it's two gentlemen doing this in their spare time.

@Veridiandynamics, @Tenderfoot-Mender
It's already been almost a week since the migration. I think that's enough waiting, considering that they don't seem to have changed servers (still running Ireland/Virginia AWS), merely ownership. These are questions that a lot of the community seems to have and there seems to be vividly different ideas about what Grey Havens actually will do.

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt until the end of the month.
Eurydice herself said that GH was working pretty hard on things, and seeing as how she really had nothing to lose when she said that, I'm inclined to believe her.

Re-introductions would be greatly appreciated. We need someone to moderate and inform the community on game development. However, as GH is likely focused on development rather than the community at the present, I'm willing to give them a bit more time to say anything.

However, eventually this thriving sense of community optimism, a HUGE asset to the team, is gonna wear down, and radio silence won't help it at all.

BRB buying 666 whistles so I can be Kankri Vantas.

AKA: Migration might take a while, probably at worst half a year, but that's just my speculation.
