A true 'undeveloped' server would not be possible given the way Istaria's development system works. Changes made to the development server, Genesis, are replicated to all the live servers. In order to have a server with a different version of the …

One more cancelled preorder here. For me, the deciding factor was Funcom's attitude that it was Amazon's fault I didn't get into early access, even though an Amazon CSR told me that their direction from Funcom was not to send out the codes until th…

Sure, some of the material rolled out had been started under Tulga. It was finished under Virtrium. There wasn't really all that much finished and unreleased Tulga material. The items Tulga had ready to go would have been pushed out as part of de…

Well, green13, I think this sounds like a good time for us to agree to disagree. As I said, I think you were right to confront this person, but (again, just my personal opinion) I do think you're over-reacting a bit. Not a big deal, though. Reaso…

Originally posted by green13 The second time I tried a Horizons free trial I was in there for all of four hours, the last two spent watching three players viciously attacking practically everyone else in the chat channel and all I could think was, "…

Originally posted by green13 Ah my bad then. I must have missed the clause in the ToS which permits religious/racial slurs aimed at countries the US has recently invaded. Green13, the statement that you are citing may be upsetting, but it doesn't q…

I wouldn't say anyone turns a blind eye to the occasional outburst of vitriol; it's more that such outbursts generally don't violate any of the TOS limitations. People are going to gripe and complain and be rude, but those aren't against the rules.…

Quite a few folks from around the EU play, as a matter of fact. The best place to ask specific questions is the community website, http://community.istaria.com/ From there you can get information on the 14-day free trial, subscription options, and…

The best thing to do as a new player is to click on the "Browse Player Channels" button on your main chat window and join "New Player Assistance". The vets who hang out in there are happy to answer questions and help new folks get started. If you …

Originally posted by bobfish So why does Edward Andercheck still claim to be a major investor in Horizons? That's a good question, but you should ask it of Ed Andercheck himself. As Orlena notes, you have not provided any proof that Ed actually m…

DonnieBrasco: It's hard to say if the things you refer to have been improved. 'Loading lag', for example, could mean a lot of things. Do you mean time for the world to load when you port? If you're porting to someplace you've never been, yes, it…

It's also worth noting that some types of changes cannot be tested properly in the development/testing environment, simply because the possible combinations of gear, skills, combat modifiers, etc. is nearly infinite. Changes to mob AI or aggro syst…

If it means new investment and development for Horizons, well and good. However, the Pixel Magic web page doesn't talk about MMO development, it talks about building online communities (read: forums and community web sites) for MMOs. Considering h…

I hope the author didn't decide to put part 2 on hold in order to get EI's side of the story; their response time seems to be slightly longer then the half-life of enriched uranium...

There's no doubt that David did know that Baker was looking to sell, but as of E3 (when the expansion and DWO were announced), no potential buyer had expressed interest yet. Tulga continued to work on Horizons because, until a sale is finalized, th…

Originally posted by Mustasio If DWO is completely out of the picture now then I can't say David Bowman came out lookn good when it comes to promises. Right up until the point where the sale of Horizons to EI was finalized, DWO was activly being …

Mustasio, DWO is pretty much DOA. Chris Baker fired the entire Tulga team when he sold Horizons to EI. David and a few other folks were kept on to train EI personnel in operating Horizons, but once the transition contract expired, they were fired …

Originally posted by Shadrak you mean something similar to the Blackstaff controversy a while back? Sort of. That was a case of a player with a ton of money being given WM powers and allowed to play developer, though. It wasn't a hack, just one o…

"We reported this hole in beta and got banned to shut us up..." "This has been known for years on underground web sites..." "I knew about this report before the author wrote it..." Yeah, riiiight.... Without analyzing previous versions of the laun…
