The Chronicles of Spellborn

Good and bad news here,They have a letter of intent from a publisher to launch the game in the USA at the sametime as europe,Which will please guys in the states,The bad news is it will delay till q3/q4 for this to be possible and for further polish,Here is a link to the thread.

Please don't let it be....  SOE.   

Well it seems the delay did get the game some space on C&VG site,Although maybe not exactly hype..

Being in the US myself...I am a very happy person today...

Good news for all players as this will hopefully get more interest in what could be an amazing game.

Yep some will be happy and others like me dissapointed at yet another delay,but if you read this post

I feel that they were ready to release in europe with,like it said in that post an unfinshed game as the cash flow was running out,With the new publisher in the US I am sure there will be a nice check and they have another 6 months to finish the game.

Alot of game release in europe or far east or the states and then branch out,TCoS if ready would have been released in europe on time,Fact is it is not ready and there seems to be a new term"final polishing" which really means"man this game just aint ready"

Fact is this US publisher has probally saved TCoS from a bad(maybe even unrecoverable)release.

So another delay and we can only hope the last 1.

good good im just really happy this game is starting to pick up...it just seemed dead for a while

Cheers!

How nice . Really, I am so surprised. Oki my Dutch friends, I will play AoC. Usually it takes to me about 2/3 years to be bored about mmorpg but good luck anyway. I expected a bit more fron next few monts but ..... . Aww #@!$ it, my new comp is prepared for AoC so gogogo Stygians .

I see next problem. American market is worth less than European (difference is small, about 300 millions $, reason is low prize of $ but nevermind, it is not story about economy).

Company prefer grab new market, ye it is sensible but ... . Soon we will have few new mmorpgs. WAR, AoC and who know what else.

To be honest it looks like suicidal move, without big marketing action it will nearly invisible between X new titles. Yes, of course TCoS will works some time but I am afraid they loose a lot of customers just due date of releasing. Q2 was last chance for sensible entrance, later it just will too late.  If I am right noone cared about European release of WoW and servers infrastructure (game was playable without some @#$ after year or something). Really I do not see reason to wait for USA publisher, that is lame.  Next thing, is it sensible to compare beta test to releasing game and improving througt patches? .
