Matt Firor Leaves Mythic Entertainment

NCsoft’s Scott Jennings is reporting via his blog that Matt Firor has left Mythic Entertainment to pursue other interests. You might remember Scott from the five years he worked at Mythic prior to joining NCsoft, so I’d wager this information contains some truth:

TASS is authorized to announce that Matt Firor is no longer with EA Mythic. He headed up the development of DAOC as its producer through launch, first expansion, and thereafter.

When I mention the good people that I left behind at Mythic, Firor was on that list. He was very much involved in the nuts and bolts of game development, and had a very realistic attitude towards what was possible and fun.
