Age of Conan's New Director More 'Player-Centric'
"I think that the fact that Gaute leaves means that we get a direction which is more player-centric, since [new game director Craig Morrison] is so good at being hands-on with the communities at all times," said Funcom product manager Jorgen Tharaldsen to MTV Multiplayer in reference to the sudden departure of Gaute Godager.
Godager was a founding member of Funcom and served as producer on Age of Conan through the game's launch before leaving, citing dissatisfaction with the finished product.
"We have seen but the start of the evolution of Age of Conan, and out of all the people in Funcom, I can't think of anyone which could do it better than Craig," said Tharaldsen. His optimism echoes that of Morrison himself, who promised, "My main priority now is therefore to listen to, and act on, player concerns."

replythe last thing mmo developers should do is listen to their players

Haha, have you played AoC? For once, the players have it right I think. It's horrible, beyond dull in almost every way.

Try Navyfield; although a bit slow (try months, it's a small company) they listen to the players. There's even a special Test-server, on which a group of players can tweak and test settings and new content.
