There seems to be another round of layoffs at LotRO. *sigh*
Frelorn is no longer Community Manager. All he posted on Twitter was: "Time for a New Adventure". While speculation is rife, and Harbingers of Doom are coming out of the walls, most of it is fantasy, and acquired by leaping to conclusions based on false assumptions. Frelorn could, in fact be moved to a different position within Turbine. Rowan was.
Cordovan is filling in as the current CM until further notice. As he is also current CM for DDO, as well as other duties, he will be quite busy. Cordovan worked under Sapience, and later became interim CM after Sapience departed.
That said, there apparently was indeed a round of layoffs at LotRO. In time, we shall see who is missing, and who is new.
My thoughts, prayers, and good wishes for the future go with all those affected by this change. Good luck to all those who are leaving.
