    How has the coronavirus affected development at VR?

    My employer as well as my wife's now have us on a mandatory work-from-home policy for the foreseeable future.  I already work from home 90% of the time so no big deal for me but this could easily impact productivity for offices not accustomed to remote work.  Has this had any effect on the progress of PRotF?

    there an address to declare a national emergency today by the president.  5pm pst i think.  bit offtopic :o but will probably affect us nationally.  all my local markets are out of water soo(louisiana)..... NY had lowkey activated the national guard last night.

    (expect kilsin to either chop this post or move it XD, but i understand y u posted here)

    Pantheon is all remotely worked on via the cloud. AKA always work from home policy.

    if anything, the biggest change because of the virus is that the rest of us will have a lot more time to post on the forums

    well its going to be a major problem for productivity if the devs dont have toilet paper!

    we should start a gofundme to buy the devs toilet paper guys!

    In any case everyone keep safe and stay healthy. We have orcs and dragons to kill and I'm going to need you all at your best. :) On the flip side, if Pantheon was out right now they'd clean up from the massive number of bored people there's about to be. No sports, events, theme parks or any public gatherings over a hundred or so people. Gonna be an interesting next few weeks. #GladImaGamer

    While the team in North America do attend meetings and such at our office, the majority of us work remotely from our homes around the world.

    I am typing this from Australia at 9:22 am on Saturday morning and may or may not be wearing pants yet...but I am still Corona free :)

    This is one of the few developers where a virus of this type is likely to do nothing to productivity since as was said above, they already work remotely for the most part. The logistics and system for communication are already set up.

    NJ has a recmended time to be in and out on the roads right now but soon it will be mandatory 8pm-5am. I am hoping there is a cure soon I like taking my morning 2 mile walks.

    You do your morning walks before 5am?  Early riser!  I highly doubt you'd get stopped at 4am for going for a walk, and if you did you can just act like a crazy old man and claim you thought it was 7am already :)
