Anyhow, so long and thanks for the fish. Would have been fun to visit the Oslo office while it lasted. Hope Montreal is gonna be good for you.

Hey Means,
Thanks a lot to you and the the AO team on all their hard work this past year. Anarchy Online has provided me with 7 or so years of fun and entertainment and I hope it continues for another 7.
Goodluck with the move to Montreal, planning & preparation are key to making sure you dont gain too many grey hairs during the relocation.
I hope everyone at Funcom has both a fantastic Christmas and a phenominal New Year.
Best wishes,
Everyone in Komodo.

What I don't understand:
Funcom is a company selling virtual goods over internet. The goods are created in Norway and China and maybe elsewhere. The customers can be all over the world, if they have fast internet.
But the developers, who create something very virtual (code), have to move their bodies and families to another continent.
Does it really matter, where they are? Would it be a problem, if one of them would work in a high bandwidth igloo with video conference screens in antarctica?
And, Means, don't tell me that you TOUCH your developers
Countries are different. Some have higher corporate taxes, some have lower, some have higher living costs, some have lower, some have different laws for company taxation and tax exemption, some countries subsidise businesses. Funcom moves to Canada because Canada has lower living costs than Norway and they get subsidies from the government to pay for their workers, effectively reducing costs for development heavily. Taxes might also be lower, and likely it's also cheaper to rent officespace.

hehe was just thinking the same thing. Also looked up car prices:
Checked the price on Volvo XC70 2011 and first that hit me was the engine. Smallest engine and trim they had started at 240 hp and up to 300 hp and price went from ~53000$ to 64320$ with every option I could click on. Same car inn Norway cost 1178000NOK - or about 199525 CAD, needless to say out of our league. And smallest engine inn Norway is 163 hp... thats still a big engine inn norwegian standards and still with a totally stripped car of any options it's twice as expensive as the 304 hp AWD with everything inn Montreal.
Have fun inn Canada
