Funcom’s Erling Ellingsen has confirmed to Norwegian website Itavisen that an Age of Conan Game Moderator has been fired after it was discovered he’d acted inappropriately with a troll.

A male player with a troll avatar attracted the attention of a male GM by claiming to be a real life woman. The two found a more secluded location and began an x-rated conversation that included tearing off panties and sitting on a massive sword.

Ellingsen told Itavisen: “We are aware of this matter, and necessary measures have been taken against them… We have clear guidelines for all employees in Funcom, not least those who work with customer service, and if the guidelines are broken leads to the consequences.”

You’ll find the full transcript of the pair’s sworded affair over on mmorpg.com.
