Yes, all of his comments suggest that he is associated with them. That says "staff" to me. For this reason, and in light of Illwinter's recent behavior which has forced me to more critically evaluate the matter, such a game is no longer a viable option.
Er, the fact that he's a moderator and IIRC he's a playtester isn't enough for you to tell he's affiliated with them?

Without pay, it'd be hard to say he's 'staff'. I guess it depends on your definition. If you define it as 'performs duties for them', you don't need to make insinuations here or there; his name listed as one of the Moderators should be enough, shouldn't it?

No, though I did play Civ3 for many months after it first came out.

I'm the Arryn who was in E&B (though I was best known as Sharia, an Officer in the Executives of Infiniti guild in the Andromeda galaxy, playing a L124+ Progen Sentinel), and I was also in SWG beta (and best known as Sharia the armorsmith after release).

And, Blitz, you really should work on presentation.
That was done tongue in cheek, and shouldn't be taken as anything else. I like Zen, even if he does back the devs on everything

Norfleet is an unknown quantity at this point

It's hard to tell whether Zen actually believes what he says, or whether he's required to be their loyal stooge under the terms of his employment contract.

Well, the entire "we own your soul" thing tends to be standard boilerplate when dealing with companies. I used to believe Illwinter was different, but now I see there's no real evidence to support that.
