Well the rumors we posted here at KeenandGraev.com are sadly true. Missy Hatch had the following to say at the War Herald:
“Richard Duffek and EA Mythic parted ways as of this morning. We thank him for his contribution to the organization over the past years, and wish him the best in his future endeavors. James Nichols and Missy Hatch will be acting as general Community gurus for Warhammer Online for the time being.”
We are sad to see Richard depart from the community and we wish him the best of luck wherever his career and life may take him. We look forward to creating new bonds with James Nichols and Missy Hatch as they lead the WAR community. Best of luck to them as well.
Wow! Grats on breaking the story Keen! You are indeed a War info ninja. Of course on these kinds of announcements you always wonder what the circumstances were that led to the person’s departure. Typically if the person is leaving of their own volition, they will post some kind of “Good Bye” post or something to not only let the fans know what’s up and what they are doing next, but to say a thank you to their current employer.
While I hope he left under good conditions, and for a reason of his choosing, at least at this point it doesn’t really look that way.
I certainly wish Richard the best of luck. I have not had the pleasure of speaking with either James or Missy yet, but I am certain that they will carry on in the best interest of the community.
Nice one, you Sleuth you.
