Xeron has been very active in server developing, contributing to both plugin and config work as well as community and staff team management over 3 years. He became staff to improve the server and push for changes and development.

He was considered lenient in his moderation in stark contrast to the 'no-bullshit' moderation style used pre-2017, but emphasized communication and transparency, and was generally regarded as a decent staff member [citation needed ;-;] | ||
He was a member of the original 'secret' build team in 2016, being enlisted by [[Chailey]] in June 2016 for his ships. He was formally promoted to housewright (build leader) in Jan 2017, commodore (mod) in May 2017, and admin in August 2017. During his time as admin he largely organized and ran the staff team and dictated its moderation style and members from 2018 onwards. | He was a member of the original 'secret' build team in 2016, being enlisted by [[Chailey]] in June 2016 for his ships.

He briefly returned to finish outstanding plugin projects, including git templates (which are a huge help to all future pmc devs!) in an uneasy anticipation of a permanent departure. | ||

His ideas and issues were discussed but unfortunately no common ground was found. Xeron saw no other alternative than to resign. | ||
As of May 2021 Xeron retains his in-game rank however, he no longer plays a role in any moderation or development. | |||
Xeron will always be a part of PirateCraft history, his contributions are a reminder of his work and dedication. | |||
