The next developement of Age of Conan
DateTime:9/27/2009 11:20:23 AM
The next developement, and a major one at that, was the sudden resignation of Funcom founder and Age of Conan Game Director Gaute Godager, after a 16 year run working at Funcom. While the first responses on the forums were quick to declare the SS Funcom was going down with the stock price, the general consensus was that this change was quite possibly a positive direction for Funcom to take. Not long after the Gaute resignation news, Funcom announced the new Age of Conan game director would be Craig 'Silirrion' Morrison, who had been intimately involved with Funcom's Anarchy Online. Craig immediately began interacting with AoC's player community on the Official Forums, and the air about the forum began to change from what had been a stormy, dark clouded ranting pulpit to one of piqued interest with small glimmers of hope. It is clear that Craig recognizes the need for more communication between Funcom and it's customers, as he has been very active on the foums in his first week on the job. Again, it cannot be stressed how important communication is and will be for Funcom to earn back and keep the trust of it's playerbase. Craig Morrison so far seems to be on the right track.

"Great patch, I'm very satisfied. Also the change in Game Director is a very welcome change IMO. I went from being "on the fence" with regard to resubbing to resubbing without any hesitation."
