Spotted this somewhere:

And for all we know all the important stuff on the next MMORPG was on Ragnar's harddisk that he toasted during the move to the smaller offices. :)

How to approach this one? Okay. Let's see. If there were documents like that on my harddisk -- and nowhere else -- and I'm not saying there were, they'd be perfectly safe, because I've been able to pull all the data from my HD (except, for the time being, my Outlook inbox). As for "smaller offices" -- that's not exactly true. The total floor area may be smaller, but then there's also much less "dead space" here -- fewer big, empty corridors -- and more actual office space. So, while I'm now sitting in a smaller room with three other guys, there's really more room for everyone, and there's still space to expand. It's all good.

I take Ragnar's statement to mean that Funcom will inevitably make another MMORPG, but to me it's pretty clear from his language that no specific games other than AO are yet planned.

Yup, Funcom will be making more MMOGs. Guaranteed. Unless, that is, someone drops a bomb on us tomorrow. Because that, believe it or not, would seriously hurt our business.

But dropping Midgard does not mean we're dropping out. We made a conscious decision to put a game on hold, based on facts that you've been privy to, and we're exploring other options. "Seeing other people," as it were.

Until we've safely launched the booster and expansion packs, however, we won't be talking about any Next Big Thing.

Are we going to be sitting on our arses, though, twiddling our thumbs and expecting the future to land in our laps? Nope. Rest assured of that. We have Plans. They may be the kind of plans that involve lots and lots of elbow-grease, but there you go. That's why it's called "work", and not, uh, "not-work". See? I'm good with the words-es.  ¶ 16:48
