This is a copy of Eternal and Diamond Supporter Newsletter #31, published by Grinding Gear Games.

Hey Diamond, Eternal and Unique Item Creator Supporters,

It is a very busy day in the office today. We are working on a 0.11.5e patch which makes an important change to the client, finishing off the 0.11.6 patch which should be deploying later this week, as well as a media ready version of 1.0.0 for Chris, Jonathan and Erik to show off on their press trip to the US next week.

While the founders are off to the US, we also have staff going to the Digital Nationz expo in Auckland this weekend: http://digitalnationz.com/

Insider Info

This week we profile Andy Richdale. He joined Grinding Gear Games recently as a Web Developer.

Previously Andy did five years of web development, mostly ecommerce related, in Hamilton. He notes he has a wife and three children, so the decision to move to Auckland was not an easy one. He and family are now now settled and enjoying living in the Titirangi area.

Since starting he has worked on improving the administration interface for the support team, providing extra tools for account management and player moderation. He has also been working on few new features to improve the publicly visible features of the website which players should appreciate.

Andy is also a keen player of competitive games, including going to the 2009 World of Warcraft TCG world champs (as the New Zealand Champion).
