ohh no no read better: they don't talk about a single publisher. but "Partnerships with publishers we had to consider a business regions split." so they split the game in multiple server because they have to split the game between multiple publishers. this is how i read that. i can clearly imagine one publisher for EU/NA another for asia another for RUS ..
That's all very well but you must remember you need people to fund a game to pay publishers people will think differently now if this proves to be true in regards to it not being single server and match based games. Are you willing to plow more money into a game that has stepped away from the mantra that you purchased it on ?
no, pikkoservers were always the plan, 1 big server, and regional servers if the ping etc would turn out to be too overwhelming. yes regional has been mentionned as a backup, now its just presented as the way its going to be implemented and not a word or explanation what happened to the original approach.
Er! This part is weird. Don't you think all those stuffs will happen in the 1 server world too? Rus and Aus will also have to come to that 1 server too, don't you think? Pikko is meant to handle stress from the massive numbers of players, not latency caused by geographic distance between continents, get your fact straight.
I still feel like I havent properly made my point come across: This whole project started because of the vision of a truely epic game, with unheared of numbers of players simultaneously, etc. If you have a vision, stick to it. Publishers said sucha and so so now we consider...NO! find other publishers. You either truely have that passion and vision, and you either truely care about the community who is on the journey alongside you or...you were just selling hot air. It's really that simple. Publishers want anything else than a single server? Tell em to **** off and grow a pair and publish it yourself. Pretty drastic right? BE is on a treshhold it seems, now its either to grow some balls and go full retard for the vision and goals you envisionned for this game, the same vision the community of founders got excited for, and you come with a holy shit/wtf/never been done before game with a single server, or you lead your ears hang to the outside partners and sink back into the mediocre fest thats been going on since the last decade, and frankly, the titles in that swamp of despair will outmaneuvre you, cos they been doing it longer. You can cast your hook into the pool of shooters, coming in with a half mmo half shooter game and fail or do mediocre at best, or you can BETRUE to the original vision and make your own pool, and be the first in gaminghistory to come with a game on this scale. Cos when I joined this community, I coulda sworn it was about that.
Props. -------------------- If we stop supporting EC n turn our backs theres no current chance for a 40k mmo (mmo could be what where calling it in the future, its supposed to be named "Morpg TPS" or something like that). Release launch without ~1kV1k battles, anything similar to PS2, wow, war, eso, gw2 servers, is not a good idea, we need more.. Is there more to Patricks parting than what he said? Where Miguels farewell scheduled/ inteded at the time? How long will it take to get one single server, "equally" continuous activity 24/7, 1kV1k battles without "vampire nights"?
in order to allow for a single server. can you end fanboymode plz, I like you better when its switched off.
