I'm pretty pissed off Friction did not name the credit that gave him the damn info to begin with, but anyway.
This goes further then most of you know, I did some investigating on Aventurine which you can read here if you wish I'm not summing this up. Of coarse the thread is now locked since the mods love to glorify themselves in their power circles. http://mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/187818
Then else where he was going on about CoS, so I dug up information on the domains, plotted some maps and found the address linked to the company. Easily I may add, there was no doubt in my mind CoS was indeed developing something. http://mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/post/2114420#2114420
Anyway Friction now has a boner to go after every other game since his is more than likely never seeing the light of day.
Interesting, so the second link shows how Friction2u was willing to lie and do whatever it took to come 'troll' our game just to get back at 'mike', (Mike470?).
Still, I was wrong to flare up about it. The tone (not facts) of my response were out of line. I apologize to the community. It won't happen again.
That said, all I ask is that people ask us for information rather than make up things that just aren't true by wildly speculating.
Here are some facts to clear up the latest round of speculation:
1) Atlantis3D, Inc. is not making Citadel of Sorcery. The connection is simply the licensing of an engine and two employees of A3D now work for MMO Magic, Inc. One of these is Mr. DeRuyter, who runs a P.O. Box that he uses to get mail for both companies (since he works for both).
2) Mr. DeRuyter's brother works for A3D.
3) MMO Magic, Inc. is not a 'family' business of the DeRuyters. Mr. DeRuyter is currently the Director of Level Design at MMO Magic, Inc., (Not that I have anything against a family business, we just aren't one).
Anything else you want to know? Just ask.
Ya that pretty much sums it up. I know you probably don't search around the forms outside this realm much so wanted you to know what his motive was.
Anyway I commend you guys on going for some innovative and new and wish you guys the best luck on this venture. Looking forward to playing it in the near future.
Mabye it's just Friction tryiing to be Sherlock Holmes (his thread got deleted), except Sherlock Holmes is usually correct....
I don't now what I did to him, but oh well..
