Hey Captains, I want to share a couple of points about this introduction. This is just a preliminary announcement, and we plan to have a dedicated article to highlight this commander more and how to obtain him in the future. While I understand that his name is linked to the infamous WoW meme, I want to emphasize that has absolutely no impact on our decision to introduce him into the game and the last thing we want to do is make a joke or diminish his veteran status and contributions.
As mentioned before, Mr. Jenkins is a living veteran who has a history deeply rooted with the USS Kidd. One of the biggest challenges for us when considering adding real people into the game, especially of veteran status, is getting contact information with permission to use their likeness from either them or their living relatives. Since we have worked with Leroy in the past, it made the process of getting his likeness implemented into the game much easier.
Please stay tuned for more information.
