Completely Far-Fetched and Unlikely Idea for Ryzom

[jmaynus]

Even tho I do like MS, I wouldn't want them having anything to do with SoR. They pretty much ruined AC and AC2, they cancelled Mythica which was one of the biggest mmo's due out this year, then they cancelled that True Fantasy Live Online.

Remember Turbine created Asheron's Call and yet who's name was all over it? Microsofts was, load up AC and you'll see Microsoft's Asheron's Call. MS isn't just gonna slap out money for any game unless theres something in it for them. They'd want some type of control over it and/or their name all over the box, when you load up the game, etc. I'm sure it'd get to the point to where anything Nevrax wanted to do to SoR that MS would have to ok it first. That was pretty much what was happening to AC and AC2.

It will never happen.

That said, I'd dance for joy if it did. A console version wouldn't suffer from crippling hardware incompatabilities. -_-

no, just crippled hardware

How about fixing Tryker Material?
Its a pretty Far-Fetched idea I think.. since its been more than a month or so that the problem hasnt been fixed..

But hey! I can still dream right..

Guys, I think you're missing some points here. Microsoft would not have any control over Ryzom and cannot alter the game in any way (besides a direct port). There would be no possible way for MS to "ruin" Ryzom.

This wouldn't even apply as Microsoft would only be involved in the distibution and manufacturing of the Xbox version.

what color is the sky in your world?

The color of copyright protection.

[stellus]

That color (wink) can be found under the amendment of the 'Copyright Act of 1976', which took place in 1980. It provided copyright protection to computer programs.

For international laws, see 'The Berne Convention' for which the United States later revised their Copyright laws to fit with the international standards (which includes France).

But thing is all MS has to do is "Yeah we'll give you the money you need, if you allow us to have control over the game." Like I said MS isn't going to hand over any money to any company unless they get something in return.

Look at the company making Vanguard. If I recall right MS gave Brad (guy that created EQ) money to startup his own company. The deal was the first game they made had to be for Microsoft. I'm sure there was more to the deal then that but that was the thing I read about a while back.

*nod* Most companies aren't in the habit of jus giving large sums of money for the use of the game. Sure its plausable that M$ might say "Here you go , we jus wanna convert it to Xbox." But I doubt it. More like "Well here you go, We jus want to convert it to Xbox, o and part ownership as well...we won't change anything, promise, we just want the security of knowing it is partly ours...jus sign here. "

Sony didn't do that with FFXI. As far as I know Square Enix has maintained complete control over Final Fantasy XI while still cooperating independently with Sony to bring it to the PS2. They have no say in the direction or development of the game.
