Sad tidings are in store for the Age of Conan community today, as Lead Designer Matthew “CirithGorgor” Bennett announced that he is leaving Funcom.
Bennett said that the split was amicable, and he shared some of his highs and lows from his seven years with the studio: “I want to make it clear that this is for personal reasons and my parting from the company is under good terms. I absolutely wish the company and project well going forward and I know it is being left in competent hands.”
Bennett’s duties are being passed on to a couple of other developers. Stay tuned for more on this, as Massively OP is talking with the former lead about this move.
In other Age of Conan news, Funcom is offering a subscription deal to players who pay for multiple months in advance. By subbing up for three, six, or 12 months, players can get extra subscription time and other in-game goodies.
