I don't normally post on these sort of topics, but even if I haven't liked the direction of the game, GW2 and GW1 have taken up well over a continuous quarter of my life which is an impressive and proud feat for a game at my age. Good luck with your new studio and thanks for the fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasp Sabreblade.5421 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 This is a very, very sad day. The day we say good bye to the last of the founders and the day that NCSoft has truly and completely taken over Anet. The community and the world of Tyria will truly miss you. PS....Let us know what new Studio you are starting. We will all pitch in on "go fund me". Get in on the ground level of the next best game.

He's successful in his career, moving on to a new opportunity of his own volition. It's a happy occasion . . . As for the game, ofc it will end eventually and will likely go through many changes between now and then. I'm sure they have a solid transition plan in place, it's not like he just made this decision this morning :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahld.4956 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Good luck on the new studio! Welcome to the gamer side! Now you bash anet and not worry about studio backlash..so much. Anyways, good luck on your new path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 It's been an amazing run. Thanks, MO. I look forward to whatever you help create next. So is Mike Z also CEO now, or is that role still split from Game Director? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugrakarma.9416 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 In some way i imagine how he feeel, I am also a software developer, in 2018 I chose to leave the directors board of a company to return to just being a developer(and even returned to receive a regular wage instead of % of company profits). Leadership role inst easy, i was burned out. Since i made this move my life becomes very better, and also my productivity as developer. Best lucky Obrien! u deserve a good life too!

Arden.7480 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I don't know what to think or say atm.... When I clicked on the link I thought I'd get an exciting post from him about GW2's future, instead I was left with a bitter-sad taste... All I can say is: thank You Mike O. So sad... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
