Like many of you, I absolutely love the work Jay Barbeau did for EQ. He recently put up a Pantheon Theme Idea on his Sound Cloud page. His bio says he is working with VR. If it's true, this is seriously one of the best things that could happen for us.
Hate to pour cold water on this, but as I replied in the other thread, I got confirmation from VR that while he was in contact with them at one point, he's not currently working with them in any official capacity.
