A great piece of work and all our time playing going to hell. This is bull.
Keeping NC alive so you hope that most of the player base will go to BP. I am so disappointed for being used. Maybe the deadbeat, twenty something, play for six month crowd is right, loyalty is for suckers.
You will never develop a WoW playerbase with this type of behavior. 
Why in hell cant you develop NC with an outside development group and manage it from your perch? Think out of the box.
I am sooooo mad |
Hi John,
first of all NC will not be thrown to a wastebasket. Not by me - no way. Period.
In these days (during the last 15 months) the focus on BP is the only chance for KK to survive. We are in this insolvency procedure now for nearly one year amd the hectic has started earlier. So I am far away from being a happy camper at all.
Thanks for the compliment above regarding the great piece of work. I know that people only get mad when they like something.
Regarding NC and BP and the comparison of these two games. NC was/is a game completely funded by KK from scratch till live date. BP is game which is funded by a fund. So we have to deliver a product to these people and they also have impact on the developement. So you cannot compare both games completely at all.
And our last goal is to create a WoW playerbase. It would be nice but hey!? Trying to compete with WoW in regard of their success etc. is one of the major faults independent studios can go for before they start a new product or using an existing IP like NC. It would be nice but to get there you will need tons of money etc. Trust me, when you approach VC for example the first thing they mention is a sentence like "Will it be like WoW? Or as successful as WoW?".
We have already evaluated certain possibilities on how we can proceed in regard of technical and content support for NC. When the time is right more infos will come.
Cheers and take care
Kirk
