At previous press conference, the producer of Revelation announced that the open beta test will come in April. With the open beta approaching, Netease released game videos one after another to teaser players. Today, the development team unveiled a new trailer introducing a 50-player flying guild mount.
Shady people sell popular names. To me, that’s more unfair than losing out on the lottery for the name that you want, because someone has come in and reserved a name specifically so that they can earn money on it. You want a definition of pay to win? THAT is it right there – a person paying $400 just to have Naruto and bypassing the lottery system. We have, in the past, reserved popular names in order to prevent this sort of shady stuff from happening. I can’t speak for Youmukon right now, since I’m on the road, but it’s highly possible that this is a scenario that is occurring and that the names will be released later on in a more fair manner that prevents this sort of account/name selling. This is not uncommon; its just unfortunate that we have the character lookup so you can see a lot of the inner workings of the game being prepared for launch.

Germany-based Goodgame Studios today released further information on its recently launched browser game Legends of Honor with a new video explaining the strategy title's gameplay and the most important aspects of city-building.
The game revolves around the conflict between three factions and the quest for honor. Players face their foes on a large world map which they explore through their heroes. To support multiple heroes with ever larger and more powerful armies, a stable economy must be maintained. In the beginning, aspiring rulers should focus on expanding their cities and upgrading buildings. Especially important are production facilities, which provide the main resources of wood, stone or food, as well as military buildings and decorations.
With decorations, the population's happiness can be directly improved. Satisfied citizens will be more efficient in producing resources. A lack of residencies or attacks by other players reduce happiness. Keeping a balance between military, production, and decorative buildings is a key factor to ruling a successful city.

Black Desert PR manager once said in an interview with us that "cash shop will focus on vanity and convenience items, offering what we feel is a fair balance for players of all types. As for player's concern about BDO would be a P2W game, he said "players will not have to worry about the Cash Shop interfering with their enjoyment of the game."I know many people are very excited to see the new PM Diary, I wanted to go ahead and make a post to let everyone know PM Belsazar is working on it, and has been for some time now. Due to the size of this Diary it may run later than expected, by late I mean early next week, but I can confirm this edition is significantly larger than the previous ones and it will include full details about the Cash Shop.

Titled as Rubelrisk: Dark Kargon, the new dungeon is a 10-player dungeon with ultimate boss Barkhant. Killing him, you will have opportunity to get the sweetest loot - defense items. The other bosses in the dungeon will drop the materials to craft the best new "Indestructible" series of weapons.
The developers (of Heavy Gear Assault) haven't been paid since July. As such, there is only one person working on the game. One of the programmers can actually live without a paycheck, and he got various family members to pitch in and invest thousands of dollars into the game's development.
It happened, of course, right as GamesCom was happening. The story changes depending on when the question is asked, but the short answer was that the game wasn't ready to go to the public, and suddenly the booth we were supposed to have didn't happen because a check bounced. Then another check to get equipment there. We were all assured that our checks would go through just fine.
Of course, they didn't.
We were told that the money was tied up in a trust, and there was plenty there but they overspent so the board members would need to look things over to make sure nobody was trying to walk away with the money. The next week, it was that a board member was "somewhere in South America". Weeks turned to months, with promises of pay (and back pay) while everyone's savings dried up.
The prompt for reaching out and telling people that the product is dead has a number of straws. The last one was the link above, talking about all the work that would be happening, and, of course, a "restructuring of the dev team". Which, if he means "one person's working on it because nobody has been paid", then that'd be more of a layoff.
The fact that the company is saying it's bringing in money, but has yet to actually pay anyone. We were all told that the round of investing was done, and we just needed to get the check. That was back in November, which goes to the other other straw breaking the back.
Management haven't spoken to the dev team in months. Funnily, since November and before that it was quite sporadic at best.
You see, all of the Mektek/Stompybot team were in crunch mode for the month of July to prepare for a big showing at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. From my understanding, we had reserved a large space and all the bells and whistles for the booth and the plan was to send a crew over to work and promote Heavy Gear Assault.
Shortly before Gamescom, things suddenly changed. We no longer were sending a squad of 6-10 workers, but it was just Vince (CEO) and John (Marketing) who were going and it was a bare bones set up with one small area in the Canadian section. While they were in Germany, we were due to be paid our salaries - but it never happened and we were not able to connect with them while they were overseas.
When they returned, we were assured 100% that the problem was because our bank account was overdrawn (due to Gamescom expenses) and that it required all the signatures from our investors but there was one missing and could not be contacted. At least, that's what we were told. During this time, we continued to work because we were told that the money was there, it just needed to be released.
With that investor still at large in South America somewhere (or so we were told) we were told to hold off on working until they could get us paid (these was a couple of weeks later). Well when that story could no longer be believed, we were finally told a different story and how the investor backed out. So they were trying to find new ones.
I must also say that during this time, not once did our leaders arrange any timely updates. There was one company call during these past 6 months that we invited the CEO to and basically blindsided him to get any information. Since then, the company went public with stocks available and during all this time, still has a player base buying into the game (I do not have the numbers of how much that has yielded).
Our last official communication/update from our leader Vince was in November. He has refused to tell us anything concerning the status of any monies or investments into the company. Our other higher ups have also remained silence - as if there is a gag order in effect, not saying anything to us no matter how much we beg or demand.
The players finally became sick of the radio silence (community updates) and the very limited patch updates done by one particular developer who is doing all he can by volunteering his time to keep the game afloat. They created a forum post/petition demanding for some kind of update. Our illustrious CEO Vince responded without any tact whatsoever and the players as well as the developers have felt like they've been slapped in the face. The update he provided was untruths and unfortunately this is the first update we've heard from him internally in all these months.
It's time to end this charade and that is why I am writing this. There needs to be accountability. The workers at Stompybot/Mektek are in the dark and haven't been paid in over 6 months. Many have had to uproot their lives drastically and in a panic because payment was never received. We were told several times that the money was coming and to hold on, only to get no future updates and no money. We have lost hope for the company and our corporate team but we never, ever wished the players to be punished for this sad situation and the lack of accountability from the company.
We are still aiming to release Tibia on Steam and we will continue to work towards this goal. However, a Steam release is closely linked to the development of a new Tibia client – a time-intensive, long term project on which we have been working for quite some time already. At the moment, we are still in a development stage where we cannot provide concrete, reliable information about this project. This also means that we cannot provide an ETA concerning a Tibia release on Steam yet or an estimation as to when we will be able to share more details with you.
