I'm Stepping Down as Editor-in-Chief
Yes, amidst all the exciting news regarding the website's latest improvements and the return of one of MMOBomb's most beloved editors, I'll be taking this opportunity to relinquish my post as Editor-in-Chief in order to pursue a new opportunity in the gaming industry. In my place, Michael "Magicman" Byrne will be stepping up to the plate, once more, as MMOBomb's Editor-in-Chief.
Inevitably, when someone writes a post like this there's always a flurry of speculation as to why exactly that person is leaving. In order to prevent that, I will say that absolutely nothing bad has happened behind the scenes here and in fact, I was the one who felt it was time for me to move on. For the last 2+ years I have lived, breathed, and dreamed MMOBomb. During that time, I've had some of the best experiences anyone could ever ask for, while interacting with some of the best staff and community members anyone could have asked for. In fact, technically, I'm not leaving at all. I'll still be a part of the video team, where I will continue to produce First Looks from time to time; covering some of the latest Free-to-Play games out there.
Running a gaming website is a two-way street. You cannot succeed without listening to your viewers, and I've always made it a point to read all of your comments from our forums, Youtube, Twitter, email and news posts. Both MMOBomb and myself would not be where we are today without your passionate input, and I thank you for that.
As for what I'll be doing next, you can find me over at My.com, where I'll be taking up the position of Community Manager on the upcoming MMORPG, Skyforge. That means I'll be interacting on a daily basis with gamers like you, on a project I know many of you are already looking forward to. For obvious reasons, I won't be doing First Looks for My.com games.
In the meantime, feel free to catch me around on MMOBomb's forums or through my Twitter @Spunkify.
Until next time,
Spunkify out, later guys.

Over 30 million MapleStory assets available and advanced LUA options are unlocked.
The test is available to players in the U.S. and Canada.
The idea is for players to have extra incentive to try out various systems and features.
They aren't giving up on early access development, but this can't be good in the long-term for the title.
Let's hope the game will see a smooth start so you don't get torn appart by an angry mob.
See you on the other side.

Hope to see more stuff from you here. Skyforge isn't bad either, but I'm sure you'll get bored soon and come back ;-)
Also excited to see Magicman back, I loved his videos, F2Pcast was theBomb, but most of all I liked the one where he sat outside in the cold with his laptop! Classic!
glad to see MM back, don't get me wrong. just seems like MMOBOMB was getting over the last shift of direction. wish you the best, hope it works out for you.
Glad to see you'll still be around, i'm sure the changes will work out for the better.
You did a great job and we really appreciate it :)
No offense, you were an awesome editor in chief, but dammit, I missed Magicman.
Good luck and best wishes :) <3
