Quote:Things could have been better, but acclaim's contract was not the most wise choice they made. The IP barrier and splitting of communities is never a good thing. I know ping comes a lot more into effect when manual targeting is involved, but splitting the community is not the way to have a game of spellborn's player base.

It left very very quiet times at late hours, and even worse in the mornings. look at APB... I have friends who are American and Canadian, I couldn't play with them unless I bought a NA key.

Even still the split communities in other games are still the same site, where as acclaim had to have everything their way (Acclaim coins....................).

I tried to bring EU events over the seas to the US, for example the caption competition.

I'm also not a fan of splitting communities but it's still pretty popular and not such a big problem if it's done properly. In Spellborn publishing contracts were the weirdest I have ever seen. We had EU version but still countries like Poland were under Acclaim. Many people complained about this. 100% EU, 100% NA wouldn't be as bad.


Anyway, thanks for screenshots. Launcher looks nice.
