For me, this is a day of mixed emotions.
On the one hand, I'm stepping down from my position as Community Manager. I've followed Anarchy Online since it was in beta, and it was a real honor to be able to work on it, as well as Funcom's other projects. And going through the past few months with you guys has been a real treat. AO is well-loved here within the office, and working with Sil and the rest of the guys has been a real treat.
However, I'm not leaving Funcom entirely. I'm shifting to a new position within the marketing department to focus on creative things. And I intend to continue playing AO, even pwning some of you n00bs every now and then, on the increasingly rare occasion of me having free time.
Taking my spot will be Oliver "Tarib" Kunz, who has been busy working with the German community and will now take over here on the English forums. He's already been easing into his new role, talking to Sil daily, and monitoring all the forums and stuff I used to do on a daily basis. I wish you all well, and I will be gunning for hawt new PVP titles, so keep an eye out.
