Frogster cuts senior management staff

by Rubi Bayer on Sep 20th 2010 11:00AM

Things at Frogster have been pretty busy lately with publishing projects like Runes of Magic, Mythos and TERA. Since Gameforge purchased a majority stake in the company early last month, it's made another offer to remaining Frogster shareholders in order to solidify its position.

Things changed even more today. Three senior Frogster staffers have been relieved of their duties at the company, including two former Gameforge employees. CFO Ralf Kloppel, Frogster America CEO Lars Koschin (ex-Gameforge staff) and board member Bjorn Koschin have all been let go.

There are no details forthcoming at the moment, but we'll keep you up-to-date on any developments.

My initial thoughts are: good that it's somebody at the upper level rather than the low-level working stiffs. But who knows what will come next...

If this causes their games to be better handled im all for shaking up management.

I tried RoM for a week to see if it was any good but i just so happened to try it on 4th of july weekend. That week was the week they added a major content patch and basically went home for the weekend. Short story the server i played on had a soft crash friday evening and the two major noob citys NPCs disappeared for the rest of the weekend.

The problem wasnt fixed until monday afternoon and by then id had long stopped thinking about play this game.

Now if this doesnt change i think there should be more of this type of "Motivation" going on.
