Thread: New Game Director for Anarchy Online

  1. #1

    New Game Director for Anarchy Online

    As I write this a press release is appearing on our sites announcing the arrival of a new Game Director for Anarchy Online. This time though, at least for me, posting about it has a little extra significance as I have had the honour of being asked to take the helm on the game and become the new Game Director.

    Having been involved in AO since beta as a player, then a fan site manager, then being hired to come here as Community Manager and later part of the management team its a privilege to be asked to take over the game.

    You can read the full press release here.

    Its been a huge honour to have worked on the game so far, and I am thrilled to be able to take it forward myself and help shape and craft the game over the coming years. Morten (Znore) has been a great mentor and a pleasure to work with and I am sure that the XBox fans of Age of Conan are getting the best man for the job.

    So what now?

    We will be moving forward with new updates and new content, keep an eye out for more details on that in the near future and I look forward to many years of Anarchy Online to come.

    I won't be disappearing from the forums either never fear. I have never minded explaining our thoughts and ideas and won't stop now.

    Finally a huge thanks to all of you, the players, as without you there wouldn't be an Anarchy Online and seeing people enjoying the game world is why we are all here

    We will be hiring a new community manager, in the interim Famine and Tarib (our German Community Manager) will make sure things keep ticking over, and AO wise I don't intend to disappear from the forums

    Grats, and I thought Znore just got shy and that's why he hasn't spoke to the players in so long! Truth was that you had his job!

    Wow, nice "ding", congratulations!

    Omni-Mining
    This department oversees all mining operations on Rubi-Ka, Notum and otherwise. They also handle the allocation, out-of-corporation sales, and on-planet transportation of raw materials on Rubi-Ka. Due to a minor technicality that pre-dates Clan uprisings, Omni-Mining operates as an arm of Omni-Engineering, but has its own independent leadership. In addition, they have their own internal goals that include, but aren't limited to, anti-union enforcement and control of policing activity in mines and their associated facilities. Omni-Mining was once a quaint, quietly-run department, but once it was discovered that Clan activity originated in their men, they became much more authoritative and rigid.

    Congratulations Sil!

    I think you've done a great job staying active and interacting with the community here on the forums. I know we (the players) don't always agree, which is to be expected, but it's comforting to at least know we are being heard.

    Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback and insight into the game's direction. I respect the challenges I'm sure you have faced in your role, and admire your dedication to AO. I am certain that dedication will carry over into your new position.

    Thank you for being a part of what makes AO more than 'just a game'.

    "Previous Game Director to lead ‘Age of Conan’ Xbox 360 development team"

    While Morrison picks up the reins on ‘Anarchy Online’, previous Game Director Morten Byom takes on the role as Assistant Game Director for ‘Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures’.
