It is very humbling to be handed these reins, particularly from Genele, who is and has been a great friend, colleague, and mentor to me during our shared time on the team. I will do my best to meet and surpass the expectations my predecessors have left behind, and continue keeping this project moving forward, with the added support of our Live Team.

    It is difficult to see Genele and Macrosun leave the team. I can't begin to thank you both for all of your contributions to the project over the years, as well as the times you've assisted me when needed. I wish you both the best of luck with your return to Scandinavia; I look forward to paying you both a visit once you're all situated, and trying that kebab I've heard so much about.

    Thank you again for allowing me to assume this role within the team. There are very large shoes to fill, with no shortage of goals to accomplish in sight, but this is a challenge that myself and the rest of the Live team is ready to meet and overcome. There is more I'd like to say, but we'll save that for this month's Game Director letter.
    Welcome back Henry ... I will have to pull out my Michizure shirts!

    I wish you the best Genele & Macrosun, in your next project.

    Michizure ... I would suggest a good pair of running shoes ...

    Knowing the game and AO code are totally different things. Macrosun's departure seems as a huge loss atm. The end results might be something completely different. One person did the code. Now with the unfortunate absence of Sir Macro... FC will be forced to put a few coders on the team. Soon as they learn AO hyroglyphics...

    No need to kill it Rather, free it. After all, I doubt AO has brought any financial benefits to FC in a while (and I'm doubtful 18.7+ will change that drastically).

    Michizure isn't exactly "new". He was an ARK for years, as a Bughunter/Exploits ARK, ending as the ARK Bughunter Assistant Director before becoming employed at Funcom. He was also the Boss of Me for a while (after Vhab) until Sezmra superceded him in that role.

    That's what I know personally, and ARK always recruits from the player base, so yes he has a player history.

    Good luck in your future endeavors to both of you!

    This will lead to changes for the development of Anarchy Online for sure.
    Will Funcom replace the people they lost on the AO dev team?
    Should they decide not to do it, it will for sure be the nail in the coffin for the game.

    Essentially the company leaders have to decide if they will go for it (the show must go on) or consolidate the dev teams to some other projects and phase out AO. I believe the most important factors are:
    1) How much income the game delivers to the company.
    2) What people they can attract for the positions.
    3) Once people are in place what effort is required to bring some new life in the development?
    4) A part of the company spirit/IP will die with the game.

    I respectfully wish that you at Funcom will take the right decisions regardless the outcome.

    Cheers,

    Just looking at 18.7, like LE ship docking pad.. mm new artists are good sometimes.

    New coders? Who knows, whenever there is issue I cannot code myself out of... outside help is most welcome, fresh eyes fresh views usually bring better new things.

    Michi know the game for sure. The problem is the amount of people that left AO already, the people working on AO AND players. Each page on Community Corner there is a Goodbye Thread. How can we expect to see something coming out from this situation? (not even talking about the quality)
    Wake up ^^ Make a Kickstarter Campaign. Most of us throw 100 Euros each year for a 13 years old Game. Is there many games that manage to survive so long with this kind of subscription? Without mostly any compensation about our fidelity?? Please :X

    I thought they were talking about the hypothetical new hires Funcom may or may not be making, not Michi.

    And? Is he the guy who completely ruined totw? totw-twinks been pretty much unemployed, since LE actually, and with the overpowered som-weapons. rly dislike how some people (don't know who) dumb down AO in the name of carebearism. Guess it's a company-thing.

    To bad that genele and macrosun leaves the company good luck with the things u will do after this .

    Now when Michizure has taken over , funcom can pull out the plugg from the game becouse he will let players use more dirty tricks in the game now ,
