Well i read it and he only played level 1-10 in a early stage of the beta... and he is comparing it to WoW? He is a bad reporter. He is giving his opinion and isn't telling anything about the PQ's and the Lairs. So look on the official website first, before you say things that a reporter said.

Your estimates are optimistic.  Maybe in Asia you'll see 10-20 servers, but here in NA you'll be lucky to support 5 unless this game finds a sponsor and starts a good advertising campaign.

 

I am assuming that there will be good advertising campaigns, of course.

You're assuming that it will ever be released in NA. As far as I know they don't have a publisher for any NA release. The game is supposed to be out in a couple of months. It's going to be difficult for some to import a copy. If you really want to try out the game, I don't think they will be banning IPs. So you could import a copy or wait until they finally get a publisher squared away.

It is safe to assume that his game will be released in NA. Quality always prevails. When this will happen is another matter.

Also 1 friend of mine is in CB, who says exactly the same. I played it a few minutes, I DO think it is dull.

I heared other rumours of spellborn on the other hand. To be honest, I didnt found much negativ about it.

..WAR fanboii

i think they need to be more public with it as well, they should start really getting involved with the over-all MMO community and really market their product, and promote it. I think it has alot of potential, and it's very unique so it would be great if it did well, but something this different definantly needs heavy promotion to catch on quickly.

Somewhere between Aion and Jumpgate Evolution.

Hm, no idea how those games will be received. But I guess it would be good news?

Somewhere between Fury and Vanguard.

Well I just went through the last 2 pages of your posts and all you had to say was negative things about alot of different games,So forgive me if I take this latest 1 with a pinch of salt.

Since nobody in the U.S. wants to publish it, it obviously isn't very good

i give a very small chance at being successful

Did you ever consider that maybe they have not received an offer they like yet?

<ducks behind a wall>

Just kidding.

The main reason they did not find a US publisher yet was because Spellborn Inc does not allow publishers to actively influence  / put pressure on the game development....

This game is not released unfinished, not released untill everything done, with a good reason...

many MMO's in the past have been pushed to release to early... even WoW was pushed , and had a lot of problems in the first month after release... (espescially serverside)

But to find a publisher thats not allowed any influence in the deal... thats a too risky investments..and publishers are not in the game for the games but for the money.

Yep agree again with LB,The devs want to keep spellborn there game and is not a point "no-one wants to publish the game"it is a point that the devs havent found a publisher they want for the game and that is a huge difference.

On Chronicles of Spellborn:
It looks cool, but it's a sort of FPS, so people jump 24/7 and are going to circle strafe... Quite annoying? FPS sounds cool, but I don't know how they can make it work good, without getting jump/circle strafe/rush combat.

Actually, you supposedly you get a penalty in your attacks when you jump so I doubt to many people will bunny jump unless they like doing less damage...and I'm pretty sure that counts for moving too..so..move and do less damage while taking less damage..or stand still and do max damage while taking max damage?

Of course, a rogue type class will want to move around more than say a warrior..

So it might take a bit of balancing..as all mmo's

I'm pretty sure thats how its going to be, might be wrong so feel free to correct me..

I hope it doesn't turn out into a jump/strafe fest..

Re: My earlier comment.  Aion is a smash hit basically if they release it.   There's almost nothing they can do to screw it up.  I mean we're talking the successor to the only MMORPGs with P2P model that can stand next to WoW and say "We have a number of players that can be compared to yours without inducing giggle fits."  Jumpgate is always going to have a mediocre audience, even if it is the best game ever, simply because of what it is.

This COULD have a huge audience, but it will really have to work for it.  Its going to have to show people that it isn't just AS GOOD as AoC, Aion, and Warhammer.  It has to be BETTER for it to do as well as them.  That's a tall order, but if they do it, its gold.  I mean look at the hyped games of 2007.  People couldn't wait for Vanguard.  Tabula Rasa has been anticipated for years.  LOTRO was handwaved, it had mediocre coverage and was developed by essentially a nobody, and it easily smacked down two games from two of the biggest name developers in MMO history. 

I think there are lot of people that are missing the bigger picture,Not every game has to be "the best"and the devs at TCoS are not as vain as alot of devs out there,They are making a great game(in my eye`s)and they are saying "this is the game we wanted to make enjoy it for what it is and not for what it isnt"

They are leaving out alot of the norm i.e large raids,gear based gameplay and crafting timesinks,If you like the forementioned things then truth be told this game wont be for you,A game doesnt need 1million subs to be successful.

There are more than enough gamers looking for a game of this type to be a success,It will have its haters.just like every other game but it will also have the players that enjoy it for what it is./endrant.

It has chosen to release in 2008.  This is in time with AoC, Aion, Warhammer, and Wrath of the Lich King.  It has to do well enough to stand out in that crowd.  This game has to do well enough that people have a compelling reason to pick it up and play it over any of those.  That's a tall order. 

This game is very different to the likes of WAR,AoC and aion and it will capture its own group of players,I dont think it needs to be better than WAR etc to be a success.

The way alot of people talk about WAR and AoC is almost like they honestly believe all other MMO`s will close down when they hit the shelves and that is not going to happen,even IF those games are what they promise to be(and I did say IF)there will still be room for other games and for sure there will be room for TCoS as it gives alot different mmo experience than the other releases due this year.People are attacted to TCoS because of other features like true skilled combat,gear only for looks,no big raids at end game to name a few,This game will be all about a players skill and the other games cant offer that.

Some more advertising and info would help this game alot but it looks they dont wanna rush anything. The game could get its own crowd but I dont see a release any time soon so I think thats why the lack of info and advertising. It would help to release before AoC/WaR/WotLK, the market needs a new decent MMO now.
