Jonathan Hanna Joins Turbine

Jonathan “Calandryll” Hanna, whose most recent work includes Star Wars Galaxies and the cancelled Ultima X: Odyssey, has joined Turbine as the Director of Community Relations for Dungeons & Dragons Online. In fact, he has provided an introduction on the game’s official website. An excerpt:

So what does a Director of Community Relations do? Basically it means I’m responsible for the Community Teams for all of Turbine’s games and will be helping to set policies and start initiatives that will make our communication with all of you even better. Much of my work will be behind the scenes (I get to go to lots and lots of meetings and read endless reports) although I do hope to post sometimes. Either way, I can promise you I do spend a lot of time reading the boards. Keep in mind that I am responsible for four MMOGs, so the Community Managers for each game will still be your main source of contact since they will always know the games (and all of you) better than I can.
