'Age Of Conan' GM Fired After Cyber Sex
Posted By: John Manalang - Tuesday, August 12, 2008 10:35 AM

Funcom, creators of the Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures MMORPG, fired a game master after he got a little too happy and participated in cyber sexual relations with a player. No need for any witty remarks, just read an excerpt from the chat transcription below:

GM: Ahh lol I see. You trying to get laid by a GM ;)
Player: Of course, I thought you were THA MASTER. Gamer Master.

Funcom said that they are "aware of this matter, and necessary measures have been taken." However, after browsing through the steaming transcript, it seems that the player was the one provoking the GM to have a "cyber fix with [the player's] body." Alright, that's enough.

A podcast did a reenactment of the transcript from the Funcom GM and the players who engage in the cyber sex scandal in the beginning of August.

This is hilarious you need to listen to this.

@darkshadowkg

It hasn't flopped yet. It will start a quicker death in September when WAR releases and finally kick the bucket when WoTLK comes out. Funcom stock is in the toilet compared to what it was when this game released. They are borrowing money to pay bills right now. Most people play the one month and say the hell with it.

Posted by cmdluke - Tuesday, August 12, 2008 11:13 AM
I think its a little creepy that a GM would do this. sure the player egged him on, but he went into some graphic detail there.
