meh he was wrong on a lot of things too, mostly I just put a good guess, somethings I did guessed right, like tera taking a year to become f2p and how bad some other games would be
Well, I did include this ...
"That of course doesn't mean he's always right ..."
Here's the thing, we'll know in a few days right? I mean, he made a claim and it's easy to prove. If he's wrong then people can come back here and say "Kano, you need to stop making claims that you can't prove ... "
edited! - And if he's right? will people come back and acknowledge it?

Honestly it just takes a pinch of common sense. You have the countdown timer and a quote right under it about the labor system. Its probably a rework of it.

Those quotes cycle if you look at the site for longer than 3 seconds. There are a couple about P2W, one about labor points, one about not being able to build a house + a few more.

It does not matter that they will add a P2P server now. I am running a guild for Classic and will be spending all my time in classic WOW. The Current version of AA is Shit even if it was a P2P server. AA is too far gone to be saved in any forum right now. Its like Rift they tried the P2P server and it failed because rift is in a piss poor state. So they just released a piss poor state of Rift in a P2P format and figured we would just bring it up to current piss poor state. Only AA will be in its current Piss poor state.

Yeah, it all points to the P2P server for Archeage. I think it's probably too late for them to actually get a huge audience again, but they can at least pull some players. I'll probably go give it a shot and see how it pans out.

It was a great game before the cash shop went live. After that I only stuck it out for a couple of months. I'll have to see just how they implement this new server before I'd even consider going back.

It's a hybridized monetization. That means there will be a cash shop.
Can you point me to the link that confirms that it will include a cash shop or that it's a new server at all? So many comments seem to be people talking out of their ass with no proof. So I'd like to see for myself. I find it odd that they would confirm this, but have a countdown for the announcement.
Trion may have a good 'reputation' with Rift, but the F2P thing should have been a giant warning sign that Trion was clueless
Rift had a MASSIVE retention issue. It launched with a huge splash (a launch that exceeded anyone's expectations), but then lost the majority of its player base in a matter of months. Not sure why they thought going F2P would help. It should have been obvious that the payment model wasn't the issue...it was the game itself.
F2P may increase spending in some players, and it may draw in a few new people who stick around, but it wont help retain players that didn't like the game in the first place. And Trion failed to give the remaining players a reason to continue paying (weak ass VIP option with no cash shop currency? Seriously?).
I remember the initial player loss was due to another game releasing that caused a mass exodus. Most of my guild abandoned ship (including me) but I can't for the life of me remember what the game was.

Searched and it was SW:TOR. Rift released around March, SW:TOR released in December.
I guess Gamigo bought Archeage. Archeage is in Gamigo main website while Trove and Rift is not. Just let see it's hard to believe with other people comments or Gamigo.
The thing is XL has lost all confidence in Gamigo and will most likely dump them after the contract runs out.
When is that?

Wait is that the same XL that you were telling us Trion was going to have this great meeting with last hmm (Sept -Oct) i believe it was .. It was another thread with the Sub Only speculation , and you hinted at this BIG meeting Trion was going to XL .. and things would happen ..
LOL what happened is you dissapeared and Trion shuttered 3 weeks later..

Don't company's that are about to transition publishing rights usually have big meetings though....?
well , good to see AA and Rift in competent hands now ... rather that Trion .. while most of us knew for 5 years they were shitting all over there community , themselves and there IPs ..
Most of us knew , there are a select few who oddly enough had no foresight with this , some telling us how good they were doing and great they were .. lol ... 5 years of it ..over and over , in every single Trion thread .. and yet you were wrong ... /end
Seeing DMKano talk about these companies like he intimately knows them gets stranger and stranger as time goes on. I wonder if he's actually Jason Schreier and that's how he knows so much.
well , good to see AA and Rift in competent hands now ...
LOL
My comment last October ... "Trion has appeared pretty desperate the past 18 months, with there low
budget cheap relaunches/remakes /enhanced / server merges,lay offs ,
money grabs , that the community is frankly sick of , it would not
surprise me if they shuttered some games or sold the IPS off"
Amazing huh .. like im Nostrafuggindomas... ..
you same week ...
"It's a mixed bag.
Trove is in a good spot, great dev team, great and fast updates - it has
a major update slated for later this year. The biggest issue with Trove
is that the custome engine it was built on was done by 2 devs after
work as a side project and has major scaling limitations - if they are
ever to bring Trove to full potential, it's an engine rewrite from
scratch.
Rift - Prime version was good, but the game is long in the tooth. Still I
think the class system and rift system is really well done.
Defiance - ok game that never really reached it's true potential - IMO
the lull in development after the bad original launch was just
impossible to recover from, D2050 just didn't come close to redeeming
it.
Atlas Reactor - good game that nobody plays, maybe it's too complicated
for people to grasp, maybe it's the lack of PvE campaign? Not sure -
just never caught on - but good example of actual good game mechanics
does not mean = success
ArcheAge is not a Trion made game - so as a publisher we all know the
long history of issues - but AA is damn good game on it's own. If you
ignore all the XL and Trion related drama and just focus on the game
itself - it's very good, IMO its in the top 3 best korean made MMORPGs"
lmfao and then Wham 2 weeks later shutterd and sold to Gamigo , and yet you had no idea.. Its ceratinly strange that in this thread you claim knowledge that Trion was in talks with Gamigo 6 months before the buyout , yet here you are 2 weeks before the buyout talking them up and promoting there games .. Odd
There is miles of this shit in your history , but you keep LOLing .. Its fun to watch
Seeing DMKano talk about these companies like he intimately knows them gets stranger and stranger as time goes on. I wonder if he's actually Jason Schreier and that's how he knows so much.
I literally know Trion employees IRL And I am keeping 90% of the info to myself.
Is it so strange to have friends at the game companies?
Lol, no, but you've sometimes managed to predict stuff for other companies with surprising accuracy.
It's a hybridized monetization. That means there will be a cash shop.

I have nothing that I can link as proof but can tell you what I was told last night in discord.
It has a cash shop - confirmed by my contact (described as greatly reduced). Its still a work in progress but seems like P2W items are all gone.
The obvious problem is they kept the cash shop so its super easy to start adding P2W items in the future - super crappy imo but not at all surprising considering that Gamigo is all about the cash shop in all their games

Rift's player base declined long before SW:TOR (which probably bled players even faster than Rift). It wasn't a dead game by any stretch, but it certainly wasn't the big success it looked like at launch.
Archeage is not owned by trion in the first place so why would you think that it pertains to that? Unless XL is allowing trion to finally make changes but korea needs your money.
