Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures new Game Director, Craig 'Silirrion' Morrison recently spoke with MMORPG.com Managing Editor Jon Wood about his history in the gaming Industry, his influence as Game Director of Anarchy Online, and some of his plans for the future of Age of Conan.

As for my design philosophy I think it breaks down quite easily. The single question I am always reminding myself of, and having our designers ask themselves, is ‘is it fun?’ It is all about the experience for the end user, for our players, and we always have to keep that front and center in our thoughts. It’s very easy as designers sometimes to design as much for ourselves as for the players and we have an obligation to always be level headed enough to take that step back and analyze whether or not what we are attempting will be fun and engaging for the player.
