General Discussion

In the second part of Carolyn Koh's special reports on Horizons the EI Interactive takeover, she looks at payment issues, the vulnurability report and more.

"After notifying EI I got a response from Mr. Rask, informing me that the executive GM will contact me shortly. This never happened."

So what did he do then?

"I waited 60 days," he said, "then I published it and I informed you."

Ed Andercheck of EI Interactive/Pixel Magic saw this in a different light.

"[The SOAP vulnerability is] a non-event from the standpoint of security," Andercheck told MMORPG.com. "It's being closed."

will this game just die already. as i have stated in previous posts, the games owners are not to be trusted. they have not, and will not to this date help any customers in any direct way, old or new.

whether it was tulga or the new owners, they both were on track with one another, deny problems, silence the community, and throw out the tag line "its not our problem". too much bad blood in this game and an example of what not to do to your player base by both companies. does anyone wonder why the new company conducts business as tulga did? who is with this new company that has these tendancies...........bowman maybe?.

also sad to see bowman still employed with the new company even in a consultation capacity the individual is simply dishonest. i would have called him a thief directly but i wouldnt want my thread bounced.

Umm... David Bowman isn't working for this company in any way shape or form. He moved to Texas and works for the new Bungie split-off (I can't remember the name of the company, but it just went public. They are currently working on some halo 2 maps, and have hinted in an interview that they are working on their own consol title as well).

Not only does bowman not work for EII/PME, he doesn't even work on MMOGs any more:P. Do you even read the gaming news sites, or do you just yank random words out of the air?

"solidly researched?!" No, this is all OLD NEWS except for the last 3 paragraphs or so [the part about Pixel taking over from IE - and even that is month old news!]

News Flash:  Julius Ceasar stabbed at Senate!  More at 11!

   Sadly when this all falls apart once and for all some of these folks will then be qualified to write the how not to do it manual.  The game had some great ideas and potential but the implementation and execution from early on was awfull.   The player community for the game must be the most patient kind hearted group in gaming though.   I never played the game but tried to keep an eye on it in the hopes it might turn around but alas things only seem to be getting worse.  I even had thoughts that maybe during a vacation I might download the try and give it a look but now I feel totally uncomfortable even doing that.

Wow, the amazing research award goes to Carolyn this year :).

Very well done article, well writen, well explained and very informative.

Thanks for all the work.
