News: Smed Tweets update on ProSieben Deal

[Mastachief]

Shocknc are you clueless?

They have gone from a reskin of planetside to a completely new game. This is a huge financial gamble for them with millions upon millions of $'s at stake.

I'm as quick as anyone to scream rape with anything that SOE do but please don't think they don't care what happens with the millions they have invested here and will continue to pump in based on planetside2's initial success with is pretty dependant on ourselves and the word of mouth we spread.

No, I just have a long memory. memories that include the BFRs that were shoved down the PS1 playerbase's throat, the fabled "max factory" that never came to pass, the long peroid that we have no development on PS1 whatsoever (other than the god aweful blackops), the barcode hacker plague.. Hell, I'm pretty sure that Hamma was going to take this site down if we didn't word about PS2 when we did.

like i said, I'm not clueless. i just reconize past behavior and see it for what is.

Good, all the more reason for them not to screw it up but that still doesn't excuse the way they treated their playerbase during those long slient years. If they stick to their "three year plan" then i'll drop my grudge but i don't see that happening.

Like i said i feel the pain, hence my venom regards BFR's, quick knife etc.

ProSieben and SOE Continue to Work Toward a Solution -

SOE and ProSieben worked throughout the weekend to develop a plan that will allow our players to access and play on any server regardless of where they are in the world. Our community is our top priority and rest assured, all of your concerns have been heard.

We continue to work together with ProSieben and appreciate your patience as we work around the clock to work out critical technical details. We will share more information as soon as possible. [Brasse]

this is good news for everyone , i prefered werner , markov and emerald rather than gemini , now we can all play with friends where ever you are , but pls be aware your ping will be very high on maybe one server , i used to play werner but i also played emerald too but when i played markov it was unplayable due to high ping , i really hope that there is talk about the beta date soon and a date so we know when to expect it .

[Shotokanguy]

Wow, I can't believe how easy that was.

Well, thanks guys. It wouldn't have really affected me too much, but if it means more players on the server I play on, it's a good thing. I'm happy.

[SuperMorto]

My ping to Honolulu!

Ever since Star Wars Galaxies flopped after the nge takeover and the mass exodus of players from that game along with the massive amount of hate mail they recieved because of it, I think maybe SOE now has a policy of listening to the players a little more than they used to :P

[xXGumpXX]

I think system requirements would be nice to know and we still have not seen any of the max units or HA weapons .

[Wargrim]

Really good news there.

I am looking forward to playing PS2 with my friends now.

[xXGumpXX]

Well beta keys are going out today, while system requirements will depend on the optimizations they make throughout beta.
