Furor never worked for Sony. I knew the guy fairly well in beta, he actually got banned a couple times, including on his rogue in the beta.
The person who was the highest up that got hired from playing the game in beta was Jalen i.e. Jeff Butler who ended up running EQ Live for a long time before he founded Sigil with Brad. Dude owned a comic book store and played EQ beta a ton, next thing I know he was working for them. Furor not so much though, guy was always a super hothead and not afraid to use his platform to rip on SOE.
And Furor ended up as like the lead quest designer over at Blizzard, not just some lacky adviser guy so he did well for himself.
These guys get paid jack shit until they hit the associate producer level (and get royalties) though, no matter what the job. I was looking into a network engineering position at a gaming company at one point and they wanted to pay me almost 25k under market, just for the honor of working there. I told 'em no thanks.
