Richard Garriott leaves NCSoft

   Posted by: wtf_dragon   in Site News

You totally didn’t read it here first, but there it is: series creator has parted ways with (also his creation) publisher in order to pursue new interests.

Apparently, his recent trip into space (a “lifelong dream” of his) has prompted him to look for a change:

“Well, that unforgettable experience has sparked some new interests that I would like to devote my time and resources to. As such, I am leaving NCsoft to pursue those interests.”

Well, here at , we wish Lord — now General — British all the best in whatever new venture he strikes out toward, whether those interests exist within, or outside of, the gaming industry.

Interesting factoid I did not know previously: is apparently the son of an astronaut.

As the faithful reader might also know, Richard is not only the son of an astronaut but the first son of an astronaut, who himself got into space. Take a look at this: http://www.richardinspace.com/
