Archief - The Chronicles of Spellborn

Spijtig genoeg hangt zoiets niet alleen van de ontwikkelaar af. Indien dat in een contract staat met een uitgever(en ik geloof dat zoiets wel vermeld zal zijn) kun je niet eventjes het contract negeren en de regels van distributie aanpassen

Achja, we zien wel komende week, hopelijk komt alles nog goed. Wel grappig om vele nieuwe spelers massaal te zien sterven sinds ze constant stilstaan voor een mob, sinds ze dat gewoon zijn van vorige MMORPGs

gratz on the worst marketing move ever!

Anarchy Online once held the title for worst launch ever, but it seems everyone will forget it in a couple of days when The Chronicles of Spellborn launches!

It has just been confirmed on the Acclaim forum of spellborn that they will be the publisher for all the other European countries that are not under Mindscape/Frogster Interactive/unannounced FR publisher.

We have added Italy, Spain and Eastern Europe to our distribution, once i get a confirmation, we will update everyone about the all countries licensed by us (Acclaim).

Thanks,
Phew

i am very very disappointed that most of the english speaking population of Europe will play on Acclaim servers while the remaning people of us are forced on European servers as a minority of English speaking players.

Consider this with the IP block and you have just shattered the European community in two. EVERY existing English European guild is broken because of you, because they can't take all their members to the same server.

EVERY single English guild that intented to come from a current MMORPG to TCoS will now reconsider, because they can't take everyone from their guild with them.

two and a half years i have been fully supporting this game where ever i could and then a move like this was made. As many others i feel stabbed in the back and all my supporting now seems to be have been a waste of time.

tot zover mijn zin om nog The Chronicles of Spellborn te spelen, lees volgende tekst maar die ik getypt heb om te verstaan waarom ik mijn steun aan TCoS zienderogen verlies

nope, Europa wordt letterlijk in twee gedeeld.

Acclaim gaat namelijk de uitgever zijn van UK, Spanje, Italie, Portugal en Oost Europa en gaan op Acclaim servers spelen.

Al de rest van Europa zoals benelux, scandinavie, frankrijk en duitsland zullen op Mindscape/Frogster servers spelen.

nu probleem is dat er een IP block gaat zijn, welke ervoor zorgt dat mensen uit de Acclaim landen niet op de servers van Mindscape/Frogster kunnen spelen. Dit is ook omgedraaid, dus de hele Europese community is gewoon omzeep geholpen door deze zet.

elke Europese Engelstalige guild zal nu een deel van zijn leden verliezen, sinds ze niet allemaal op dezelfde server kunnen spelen. Zelfde met guilds uit andere MMORPGs die aan het overwegen waren om naar TCoS te komen en nu geen interesse meer hebben in het spel door deze splitsing...

Dusja ik ga niet langer bij de lancering van het spel spelen of er nu nog ooit aan beginnen. Het spel had zoveel potentieel, maar het is één van de meest rampzalige zetten ooit. Als ze na een jaar failliet gaan, dan hebben ze het aan hun eigen te danken door zo een stomme marketing move....

nu op de forums is er vrij veel protest, vooral op het Europese forum, maar tot nu toe is er nog geen enkele duidelijkheid of de IP Block zal aangepast of weggedaan zal worden....

Hi guys,

It came to our knowledge some moments ago that Mindscape Northern Europe (Publisher for Benelux/Scandinavia) was not able to have enough Boxes produced/shipped to retail for the 28th of November.

This is the reason why some of you guys had their pre-order cancelled.

This was totally out of our control, and worse, was even out of our knowledge until some of you forum members pointed it out.

You can understand how extremely sorry we are, but also how "surprised" we are to hear about it just now.

Really guys, I'm even lacking words to express how I feel right now.

The game is ready, Germany/Austria/Switzerland (Frogster Countries) will see the box on the shelves tomorrow on time, it is just a Mindscape box production/shipping issue, unfortunately out of our Developer's hands.

Yet, on the bright side of things the game will be released for Benelux/Scandinavia on the 5th of December (one week delay).

On Friday 28th of November, Spellborn will be attending the HME Event in Utrecht, where 300 boxes will be available for purchase by those of you who are willing to go there.

International Servers will be opened on 27th of November, so those purchasing Boxes on 28th will be able to play.

Again, I'm very sorry about this turn of event guys. I wish I would have been informed about that with more time to update you accordingly.

I really understand some of you are really disappointed, yet, hang in there, there is only a week until the 5th.

1. Will it be necessary to uninstall the beta client of the game before installing the release client of the Chronicles of Spellborn? In any case, what measures have to be taken regarding the GameGuard?
No, it will be possible to update your beta client (either Closed Beta or Open Beta) of the game to the release client of The Chronicles of Spellborn.
There are no special measures to take concerning the Gameguard. Yet, we strongly recommend that you keep your computer clean of any spywares/malwares that might be identified as suspicious software while the game runs. You can use programs such as Ad-Aware or CCleaner and your favorite Anti-Virus program before installing the game in order to avoid any issue with spywares/malwares or viruses. Make sure no other processes are running when you launch the game client (there is a known issue with programs such as SETI@Home).

2. Will the beta accounts still be active for the release of the game and will it be possible to register as a subscriber with them?
No, all the beta accounts will be deleted. You’ll need to create a new account in order to be able to register as subscriber.

3. How many universes (servers) will be available? What will be their names, rule set (PvP or PvE) and their language?
The six following universes will be accessible to the player for launch:

1 Deiquonril PvP International
2 Dravhare PvE International
3 Jumanvhare PvP German
4 Mornexus PvE German
5 Sarakaril PvP French
6 Drayom PvE French

4. Should all members of a guild belong to the same High House regarding the PvP system between different houses on PvP universes or it won’t be a problem for the players?
Guilds don’t influence the High House PvP settings. A guild with Runite members will be able to attack guild mates being in another High House. Choose wisely and carefully.

5. When the universes (servers) of The Chronicles of Spellborn will be launched and accessible?
The first universes (servers) will be launch and accessible to players the 27th of November 2008 at 10:00am (CET). Additional universes will be opened the 28th of November 2008 at 10:00am (CET).

No, there is no early access planned.

7. When the FreeToPlay Client will be available to download?
The FreeToPlay Client Online will be available to download the 5th of December 2008.

8. Will the Redemption of item from the Premium/Special box be available at launch?
No, the Redemption of item will NOT be possible at launch. The Redemption of items system isn’t currently 100% fully functional. Nevertheless, The Chronicles of Spellborn box owners don’t need to worry, their Premium/Special box info will be stored on our database, and as soon as possible, the item will be redeemable on the Player-Site. There is again, no need to worry about losing anything for The Chronicles of Spellborn Premium/Special boxes owners.

The redemption of the item is only and simply delayed.

9. Will online payments for the downloadable version of the game be available for the release of the game? What payment methods will be available?
Only box owners will be able to play until the 5th of December 2008. Then the Free2Play Client will be available for download. At this stage, it is possible to subscribe immediately. Right after creating a Free2Play account, players can log into the Player-Site with the information they just filled in when creating the Free2Play account. They can hit the “Subscribe” links in their profile information boxes, and also buy a subscription by going to the Shop tab, all accessible on Spellborn’s Player-Site. Payment methods may differ from one country to the other.

Once it’s done, they are 100% flagged as subscribers, and all limitations linked to Free2Play account are dropped. Going for a subscription also grants access to the Player-Site Forum for Subscribers and Box owners, containing plenty of cool features.
