Hm, no idea how those games will be received. But I guess it would be good news?

Somewhere between Fury and Vanguard.

Well I just went through the last 2 pages of your posts and all you had to say was negative things about alot of different games,So forgive me if I take this latest 1 with a pinch of salt.

Since nobody in the U.S. wants to publish it, it obviously isn't very good

i give a very small chance at being successful

Did you ever consider that maybe they have not received an offer they like yet?

<ducks behind a wall>

Just kidding.

The main reason they did not find a US publisher yet was because Spellborn Inc does not allow publishers to actively influence  / put pressure on the game development....

This game is not released unfinished, not released untill everything done, with a good reason...

many MMO's in the past have been pushed to release to early... even WoW was pushed , and had a lot of problems in the first month after release... (espescially serverside)

But to find a publisher thats not allowed any influence in the deal... thats a too risky investments..and publishers are not in the game for the games but for the money.

Yep agree again with LB,The devs want to keep spellborn there game and is not a point "no-one wants to publish the game"it is a point that the devs havent found a publisher they want for the game and that is a huge difference.

On Chronicles of Spellborn:
It looks cool, but it's a sort of FPS, so people jump 24/7 and are going to circle strafe... Quite annoying? FPS sounds cool, but I don't know how they can make it work good, without getting jump/circle strafe/rush combat.

Actually, you supposedly you get a penalty in your attacks when you jump so I doubt to many people will bunny jump unless they like doing less damage...and I'm pretty sure that counts for moving too..so..move and do less damage while taking less damage..or stand still and do max damage while taking max damage?

Of course, a rogue type class will want to move around more than say a warrior..

So it might take a bit of balancing..as all mmo's

I'm pretty sure thats how its going to be, might be wrong so feel free to correct me..

I hope it doesn't turn out into a jump/strafe fest..

Re: My earlier comment.  Aion is a smash hit basically if they release it.   There's almost nothing they can do to screw it up.  I mean we're talking the successor to the only MMORPGs with P2P model that can stand next to WoW and say "We have a number of players that can be compared to yours without inducing giggle fits."  Jumpgate is always going to have a mediocre audience, even if it is the best game ever, simply because of what it is.

This COULD have a huge audience, but it will really have to work for it.  Its going to have to show people that it isn't just AS GOOD as AoC, Aion, and Warhammer.  It has to be BETTER for it to do as well as them.  That's a tall order, but if they do it, its gold.  I mean look at the hyped games of 2007.  People couldn't wait for Vanguard.  Tabula Rasa has been anticipated for years.  LOTRO was handwaved, it had mediocre coverage and was developed by essentially a nobody, and it easily smacked down two games from two of the biggest name developers in MMO history.
