Boss :: View topic - Age of Conan director fired

Age of Conan producer and game director Gaute Godager has left Funcom, the company announced today.

A sixteen year veteran at Funcom, and one of its original founders, Godager admits to issues with the MMO which launched back in March.
"I have done my very best making this fabulous game, but I have concluded there are elements which I am dissatisfied with. I have decided to act on this, and as a result I have chosen to leave Funcom. It is time to get new, fresh eyes on Age of Conan," said Godager in a statement.

He added, "I have had a fantastic time these last 16 years, and I am very proud of the many things Funcom has achieved. Funcom and Conan will always be a big part of me, but as I now look to new ventures outside the gaming industry I am certain Age of Conan's future is in the best of hands."

Replacing Godager will be Craig Morrison, who served as producer and game director on Anarchy Online for the past few years. According to Morrison, "My main priority now is therefore to listen to, and act on, player concerns, while ensuring we add additional great content to the game."

Semi good news. They should have hired someone fresh though. Not someone from the AO team.
