Friar team leader Predian posted his v1.64 class team leader report over on the Vault's Albion Acolyte Professions forums, along with his report he mentioned leaving the TL program due to time commitments. In the thread team leader coordinator/line producer Mike "Mackey" Lescault chimed in with the following in regards to Predian's resignation:

I am posting here to let the community know that I've decided to not accept Predian's resignation. If he truly feels he no longer wants to be the Friar Team Lead, then obviously we'll wish him the best of luck. Otherwise, I feel the Friar community (and DAOC as a whole), is much better off with Predian remaining as the Friar TL, as long as he continues to have the free time to maintain the great job he's been doing.
