Admin Jackencola

Jackencola, (as Rummencola) was invited to be a Volunteer Guide in 2018. In August of 2018, they became an Elder Game employee as "Admin Jackencola.

Admin Lemons

Lemons, (as Sims) was invited to be a Volunteer Guide in 2018. In October of 2018, they became an Elder Game employee as Admin Lemons.

I manage the bug database, and more recently I've been helping with QA testing. I help with customer service when needed (moderating steam forums/official pages, very rarely replying to e-mails). I sometimes help create and set up live events (things involving scapegoats, mainly). Hmm.. Other than that, I do pretty much anything srand/Citan need done at the time.

Aaron Victoria - Aviticus Gladius

Aaron is a friend and development partner of Eric Heimburg. Aaron is working on his own MMO, Legends of Etherell: Antavia. His company has provided art assets in exchange for programming support for Legends of Etherell.
