iting dissatisfaction, Age of Conan producer and game director Gaute Godager has left Funcom after 16 years, according to a statement from the company. He is being replaced by former Anarchy Online producer and game director Craig Morrison.

“I have done my very best making this fabulous game, but I have concluded there are elements which I am dissatisfied with,” said Godager. “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, and I wholeheartedly support the appointment of Craig. 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.”

“Taking on the position as producer and game director on Age of Conan is a great challenge but also one I welcome,” said Morrison. “I have a clear conviction I can lead the further development in a good way, evolving Age of Conan into something even better. My main priority now is therefore to listen to, and act on, player concerns, while ensuring we add additional great content to the game.”
