EI Interactive, who recently purchased Horizons from Tulga Games and was embroiled in a a host of controversy afterwards, has been bought out by Pixel Magic Entertainment. There was no immediate comment on what - if anything - this deal means, although it should be noted that the Pixel Magic website lists Ed Andercheck, the owner of EI Interactive, as a Director. MMORPG.com has contacted the new company for comment and will bring you more on this story in the coming days.

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 how badly EI has treated the Horizons community, the ongoing deletions of threads started by people improperly billed by EI, the state of the Savage Eden forums, the abandonment of the Horizons shard heralds (all of whom had their herald accounts on the community forum deleted), and the vigorous suppression of any criticism of EI itself, the idea that these people are promoting themselves as experts in building online communities is nothing short of laughable.

Judging from the nature of their primary expertise, I am very doubtful Pixel Magic bought EII out of concern or interest for Horizons. Anyone who sees this as a possible salvation for the game is more than likely going to be sadly disappointed. |

LOL @ "Pixel Magic website lists Ed Andercheck, the owner of EI Interactive, as a Director."
Lets direct this ship to that black-ish hole-ish thing over there to get away from the angry people! ----------------------- |

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. |

Shuffleboard anyone? Nothing changes except the name of the company.

Wow, now we get installement #14523 of the Horizons saga. Never played the game, but this is like an ongoing mini-soap on the MMO-planet ;)
I do agree with those who said this deal shouldn't be necessariy taken as good news for Horizons in itself, but I guess at this point it can't really get worse... or could it ? In any case, I feel sorry for the people that got into this whole mess with this game and got their community smashed. Fyrr Deerdan - Capsuleer of all trades |
