Why Zen sticky post are now "anonymous" ?

Zen got fed up with the forum. So he wished his moderator status revoked, I gues he cancelled his account as well.

give my hello to Zen ... and if he has also stopped his projects in dom2 documentations, ask him to make avaible his works to the community, if you still have a way to contact him

good bay Zen and good play!

Ah, this is sad news, JO.
Is there any particular reason for the (apparently: very sudden) change? I hope no severe RL tie-ups?

This is a shame indeed.

Zen has contributed a HUGE amount to this community. Sad to see him go, especially so abruptly.

If you are reading this, thanks very much Zen. You will be missed.

Any rumors on why he left??

i think he was just tired of it and suffering a bit of the notorious Dom II burn-out. just a guess, based mostly on a few comments. He's said before that he was thinking of leaving.

Am I the only one who finds it odd that Norfleet's exit garnered over a hundred Posts, while Zen's exit seems to be completely uninteresting to people?

What is not being said?

It's a shame for this forum to lose a capacity such as Zen.

I use the MIQR and SCQR a lot (as do all other "serious" players ?!?). I was looking forward to the RSQR and the CSQR (Ritual and Combat Spell Quick References), and I truly hope that someone (if not Zen himself) will finish these two documents. The two first are simply brilliant, and the complete set (all four) would be extremely usefull.

I'm sorry that he got so fed up with being a moderator that he actually deleted the Zen persona. (If this is in fact what prompted this drastic departure)

Conspiracy theorists unite!

Well, seriously, I think it is human nature that a cheating scandal involving an individual who was already controversial to begin with incites lots of heated Posts, while the precipitous departure of well liked moderator does not.

That said, I'm sure we all read many of Zen's Posts and Zen's documents, and I for one certainly feel that I owe him a lot for adding to my experience of Dom2.

It would be very helpful if someone from IW or from Shrapnel could update us on the status of the RSQR and the CSQR (Ritual and Combat Spell Quick References, as mentioned by Ivan). I know I read a post by Zen where he stated he was only waiting on one Last fact checking iteration with IW, and it would be a real shame to lose these documents, even if they are still in an incomplete state. As a side note, searching for Zen's Posts is more difficult than it might have been since searching with "anonymous" user doesn't seem to work.
