......
4th September: Closing of Brave Thread...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I only hope I am wrong but this really give the impression that something, someone, somewhere is giving up.....
I know the was a bad timing for a very hard patch: lot of unplanned bugs, lot of unstability, holidays period.... Accel takeover?....... and so on...

Now If I refer to the chat we had with Vince and yourself on Aripostle Klient, you mentioned that communication will be improved toward the player base as per everyone's request...
It seems the contrary happened...
-Less and less communication.
-Answer to questions becoming more and more rare (and we know you are here as you popped in to close Brave thread...)
-Players crying out loud on every thread that they want more for this game (even though they flame each other, the why they do it may be something else than just for the pleasure of flaming).
-Untold news about Accel
-the list is long....

Phelan......
Anybody remember this one? The GF man, popping in in December last year, answering few questions for few weeks, handing out avatars to Marjo and other and .... disappeared the official guy ....

WHAT IS GOING ON.....?
Can someone speak to us?
Can we get some loving pls? (just a little bit would do us good for sure :) )

Very busy at work atm so not much time to push too much but I will try next week:
My initial intention was (still is but lil delayed in the creation) to make this thread on the three forums (French I can do and majority of German can speak English: my German too rusty :) )
So I could be sure to eventually reach French Devs (GF France) and maybe some GF staff (GF HO Germany) on Lebanon servers....

Will try to find time in next few days.. :)

38th of August was a joke from another thread ("calling GF to task") where i stated I will give them 15 days before starting to call Brothers to arms...

I'm watching this thread too ... Communication is dead, the last patch note are ridiculus ...

Vince is aware, the patch bug, Marjo was mute ...

We don't have middle or long vision for Ryzom too ....

Hope for an answer Gillest ...

I've seen this pop up multiple times now; people should actually read the business news instead of skimming it, reading only the titles and spreading gossip. When everything else fails, Google is your friend. ;)

Accel bought shares of Gameforge, they became an investor, and a minor one at that. Due to the reputation of both companies their strong position on the market is ensured. Nothing alarming, just the usual stock market going-ons.

Could a German speaker translate this? The google translation was just gibberish 8/

“Hatte mich schon gefragt, wie lange es dauert, bis sich Gameforge mit der Übernahme von “Ryzom” auch finanziell übernimmt. Das ist ein Fass ohne Boden. Man muß dabei wissen, daß der Klaus einen fremden Investor ungefähr so schätzt wie der Teufel das Weihwasser. Wenn er also einen Investor “gestattet” sein schnödes Geld in die geheiligten Hallen der Gameforge zu pumpen, dann ist da die Kacke am dampfen (sorry).”

(This is an old comment, which may be completely irrelevant now)

"Already had asked me how long lasts it, until Gameforge with the acceptance of "Ryzom" also financially receives itself. That is a cask without ground. One must know at the same time, approximately so appreciates that the Klaus a strange investor like the devil the Weihwasser. If it to pump therefore an investor "allowed" its schnödes money into the geheiligten halls of the Gameforge, the Kacke is steam there at that"

This is what freetranslation spewed out, looks like old news.

well that says it all. GF are obviously planning on pumping more investors and finding more 'casks without ground..maybe bottomless ones. Of course I blame most of the current problems on that swine devil Weihasser. Anywho i'm satisfied :)
