Change is inevitable. Over the years, people have come and gone. Old team members have moved on to pursue new opportunities elsewhere and been replaced by new faces. This time, with some sadness, it is Stefan who has left us and his role as CEO of Expansive Worlds.
Taking his place, effective immediately, will be Robert Arnesson, who has already been on the team since december 2011 as responsible for the web- and server development, and has previously held the CEO role of two other companies. You will get to know him better in this week’s Developer Blog post.

Stefan’s resignation note:

A while back I had to make a very difficult decision. I was offered a great opportunity at a company that did make sense in all possible ways. However, pursuing that would unfortunately mean leaving Expansive Worlds and theHunter which have been a big part of my life the past few years (a little too big part some may argue). In the end I decided it was time to move on.

What made this difficult is the emotional attachment I have to create this unique game, working with a fantastic team (with members, internally as well as externally, whom I all consider also be my friends), getting to know external partners we’ve worked with around the world and, most importantly, all of you – the dedicated community that have been part of this journey in both good and bad. What made this a little more comforting, was that I realised that all of this will still stay – no matter where I am. All friends I’ve made will still be around, and I will still hang around playing the game and be part of this experience!

I’m also happy to leave knowing that there are some truly amazing (secret) things coming to theHunter – probably the most significant progressions in the game’s entire history – both in terms of a business opportunities and feature development. Related to my departure, Robert will take over immediately from me while additional staff is recruited to head up other positions.

Thank you all for these amazing years – I will still be around here in the forum so never hesitate to say hi!
