GORDON “ABASHI” WRINN PROMOTED TO EQ LIVE TEAM, ALAN “ABSOR” VANCOUVERING TO REPLACE HIM AS VERANT COMMUNITY REP [Author: lum]

Excerpted from Gordon Wrinn’s recent post on the official EQ forums:

…today I am pleased to announce that Alan “Absor” VanCouvering, formerly of EverQuest Express (eqx.simplenet.com), has joined the EverQuest Team. Alan will be taking over my position as Community Relations Manager of EverQuest, and will be responsible for taking our community relations to the next level. Alan has been the editor of EverQuest Express since early beta, and comes to us with nearly 10 years of customer service experience…

…with Alan coming on, I’ve moved to the development team as Associate Producer of EQLive and the Scars of Velious, under Jeff Butler. I’ll be concentrating more on the “Live” side of things, with coordination of day-to-day operations of EverQuest being among my responsibilities…

And from Alan:

Until recently, very recently, I’ve been a player. I have been involved with EverQuest as a tester and a… commentator about the game since the early beta. Some of you may know me as Absor from EverQuest Express. I’m not going to claim to know everything that there is to know about the game. I don’t know where all the problems lie, and I don’t know all the good things. Of course I will be trying to absorb everything that I can from the designers here and from the players. But let me apologize now if I don’t know all the answers to your questions.

Remember, you can always consult us at Lum’s, where we know the answers to questions you didn’t even know you had.
