On the 14th of July, some old prisonners, and the idea of social justice, liberty and democracy that had already blossomed on the new world was set free in the old one.

That seems to me adequate too.

Yes, I m french.

It appears at this stage User Data may not be available - at least not at this time.

So, re-roll, or wait? I think I know what the majority of players will say

At this stage - it appears rerolling is the best choice. You have to understand NCSoft has NEVER sold one of their games like this.

If these folks pull this off it is a first. NCSoft is not very organized in this procedure because it has never happened before.

<-- Uses Propel to chuck good karma, juju, good thoughts, well-wishes, prayers, etc. at the developers, COs, XOs, other sundry business people, secretaries, community managers, cafeteria workers, and janitors at the secret studio here and the well-known one abroad!

UPDATE

The group is working on possibly signing a deal in the next few days. All of the good Karma you can muster point towards South Korea and let NCSoft be persuaded!

I don't know the exact details of what is in this deal but it is VERY close. It appears at this stage User Data may not be available - at least not at this time. More details as things unfold. It seems their data storage retrieval system is to equal that of the IRS. If this goes well the new Overlords will be up and running with further details.

Fingers crossed and happy thoughts directed toward south Korea

Any of you ever tried a Fire / Ice tank ?

One of the things I thought of, but too late to do anything. Seems maybe not too late after all.

The main thing is that the engine will have been sorted out - that somewhat fuzzy second hand licensing of it form Cryptic could have caused problems with selling it on, leaving us with just the IP and art assets, which would have been a good start, but still would have required recoding the whole game in a new engine.

I think that the south would be a better bet

UPDATE

Hold on a bit - looks like for once I read a bit too much into the email!

It is in the hands of the final guy but they are still working to get the best deal with the most stuff in it - for the best price. I thought it was at the peak - my fault entirely - but it is at the final stage and now the serious deal making is on and we are 1 signature away again.

Well, at the very least, they need to make existing costume packs and parts free. I had already purchased the original game, the expansions, and several costume packs.

Requiring existing customers to repurchase what they already had is just not a good way to restart the franchise, especially not if you want a sizeable
percentage of the player-base to return.

The argument that we need to repurchase those items to "fund" the restart doesn't fly with me. I will fund the game thru subscription, as I always have.

Yeah, but a faulty missile test from the rad/dev blaster in the north might not be good, send some love there also.

Ironwolf · « **Reply #2738 on:** July 03, 2014, 05:43:23 PM »

I have no reply for what they plan to do after the purchase. Their PR person will take over and layout the plan going forward.

Step 1 get the game.

Tempering my excitement. But this is so much farther along than we have been in so long. Still teriffic news!
Thanks again Ironwolf!
