After a period of inactivity and dis-interest in late 2020, Xeron took a 3-month break in December with little to no communication to the staff team or community. This appeared to deeply upset Godsdead as it forced him to find a replacement 'staff team leader' or push for more cooperation among the team. He briefly returned during this period to finish outstanding plugin projects in anticipation of him permanently quitting.  
After a period of inactivity and dis-interest in late 2020, Xeron took a 3-month break in December with little to no communication to the staff team or community. This appeared to deeply upset Godsdead as it forced him to find a replacement staff-team leader and be more actively involved in managing the team. He briefly returned during this period to finish outstanding plugin projects in anticipation of a permanent departure.  


In March 2021 he returned to PMC with the intention to push for big server changes as a result of glaring issues that had become apparent over the previous 6 months of general inactivity with the hope of finding new purpose on the server. These changes were suggested and discussed with Godsdead privately and included: a less hostile attitude from Gods towards the community, reduction or removal of pay2win features such as /back and instant tp, additional cosmetic items for the store, and payment for future plugin and config work given the large amount of work previously done.
In March 2021 he returned to PMC after a period of self-reflection of 4 years of server work, realizing he missed the community but PMC still had many glaring issues. These issues were discussed with Godsdead privately and included: a less hostile attitude from Gods towards the community, reduction or removal of pay2win features such as /back and instant tp, additional cosmetic items for the store. Additionally, he wanted payment for future plugin and config work given the large amount of work previously done for free.  


Godsdead acknowledged his inproper behaviour towards the community but rejected the remaining suggestions and demand for payment, and wrongly assumed that Xeron would therefore quit. Therefore, in an escalation of events Xeron's access to all plugin and config work was revoked, along with website admin permissions. When confronted with this by Xeron, Godsdead denied any wrongdoing and continued to push a hostile narritive. This culminated in Xeron formally retiring as staff as a result of "having the door slammed in my face after being taken for granted for 4 years with little to no appreciation".
Godsdead acknowledged his improper behavior towards the community but rejected the remaining suggestions. Payment was rejected on the basis that staff are volunteers, someone could easily be found to take on Xeron's work for free, and that much of his work was not deserving of payment despite the income it had generated for the server. Gods believed Xeron would stay only if he was payed, so by rejecting this demand he believed Xeron now had no reason to stay on the server, or as staff.


As of May 2021 Xeron retains his in-game rank although many of the permissions have been removed. He no longer plays a role in any moderation or development.

'''Hi lego'''
 
Hi Lego. I guess this is going to get removed, but at least I'll know you have read it. I assume you're going to send this to Gods. He'll deny any wrongdoing - after all, I "became hostile for no reason" right? Hmm well... I suppose after coming to realize I had been taken for granted for all these years, being denied payment, told I can be easily replaced, my contributions were all based off "[Gods] previous work", and losing access to my 3 years of config and plugin work is no reason to get hostile then I guess I'm sorry. You'd think I'd have a good reason to get angry and ruin my chances of returning to a community i've been a part of for 6 years. Afterall - Gods is an experienced server owner, so he has a reason to be ignorant, and its not like 3+ years of being a hard working loyal staff should mean anything to him. Anyway - pop me a message some day if you want, catch up on the old times.
