Norwegian sadly, but a quick sum up.

  • Top analyzer Fredrik Thoresen from DnB Norway Markets dont believe in increased activity in Funcom products
  • Playtime for Age of Conan was in August: 17.000 hr pr. day. In September it was lower to 6330 hr pr. day
  • CFO: Olav Sandnes refuse to talk about the increased negative about Age of Conan.
  • Berit Ellingsen, online game journalist in Norway largest game magasin «Gamereactor», have notice the negative from formers players.
  • Internet Bloggerne dislke Gaute Godager and Product Manager Erling Ellingsen.

This is very sad news to read in the Norwegian paper and I was shocked. I can give a full translation later, if need. Otherwise use Google's free online language translation service.

Edit: fixed broken link.

No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. I know none and therefore, am no beast.

Plagiarism?, thats tough words.

There are two kinds of Plagiarism

unacceptable and acceptable

But yah, I need to cite my source next time and I am sorry about that. But that is kinda off-topic
 

Beside you was quick to edit you post.

Well that is the real question. Gaute Godager left Funcom (after being there for 16 years). He was also dissatisfied with Age of Conan back in 2008. Now I can understandy why.

Sadly I dont believe you. I think more and more players are becoming unhappy. It these players dont get what they want, they might quit.

Why is this being brought up? It's an article that is over a year old.
