Retraction: AI/Pathfinding programmer still with Vanguard

Doh, I messed up! Amanda Tarr, formerly a senior server programmer who retains the role as lead programmer didn’t leave and has always been employed with Sigil Games Online.

When checking Sigil’s employee page my biggest mistake was not reading the complete list of biographies. An anonymous source has come forward correcting the initial error in my original news post where I announced Amanda Poe had left Sigil Games. Amanda Poe has changed her last name to Amanda Tarr and was also promoted to Lead Programmer, I can also confirm this with the source who came forward as I recognize the biography. I assumed since Lawrence Poe was no longer employed with Sigil Games Online and Amanda Poe was no longer listed on the page that she was no longer with the company as well. Which was incorrect and a horrible assumption on my part, Amanda has always been and is still employed with Sigil Games Online.

I sincerely apologize to all parties involved for making this error. I may not be an official source for news, and my readership may be small, but I want my readers to know when I do post comments including the spread of any industry news, I always take extra measures too make sure I am informed and have factual information before posting. In cases where game developers leave a company it is difficult finding an official source of news considering in most circumstances announcements of their departures aren’t released by the game company and normally found out through back-channels.
