Scott Hartsman leaving Trion Worlds
I've seen this guy in action. Based on where you guys want to go with this game, his experience in the field and the fact that Goblin Works and he both see MMOs as a service - I think it would be a perfect fit.
Seriously. Hire him. :)

Can you be more specific what you think he would bring?
I do not see any fit especially for the job postings GW has open atm? Also would he also not command a high salary for a position that is already covered at GW?

I'd just google him to see his background.
As for what title he could fill in at?
Chief Creating Officer. His old job at Trion Worlds.
But long short of it. The guy is active in the community and he follows through on his promises. EQ and Rift are examples of this. He also has worked with start ups before (Trion Worlds.)
Anyone who knows anything about long standing MMO history knows that Scott Hartsman is one of the pantheons in development.
He's not the only one for sure, but if that guy is free atm and they can afford him - he would be a huge 'get' for GW and the community.

If this were a themepark, absolutely. But it's not. I don't want GW to be spending all of the budget to create content when it goes against the design philosphy of PFO. This is a sandbox where we need to have game systems in place first before any need for the kind of PvE content that is his speciality. PFO is going to start small and ramp up by design.
We don't want to fall into the themepark trap that has plagued EVERY other MMO except WoW.
