You have a patent number as well ?
Solareus,
Get yourself informed. READ, COMPREHEND and APPLY that information. You havent a clue what this is all about and frankly it might just be too complicated for you to understand. I URGE you to take a look at VWORLD website and find out EXACTLY what it is as well as EXACTLY what _Pix_ has developed.
Your refusal to do just that only warrants the idea of you are nothing but a troll.
ummmm Agh50? Hows come you answering for nightbirds post and in the manner of nightbird? It was nightbird that asked the question, nightbird who was answered and here you go saying thanx etc etc. Gee, got a double account here? Figures BWAHAHHAAAAAAAAA incredible. Originally posted by agh50
Pix, I really appreciate your summary of the issues between you and Farlan. Hosnetly, I really didn't want to search through page after page on the forums to find all this out.
Hehe I think you might have jumped too that conclusion too fast :P.
No I am not agh50 and I can prove it with a single statement, "I don't play DnL".
Also yeah I didn't get to thank Pix for the info ( so thank you Pix, was very helpfull getting up to speed. Also I'm hoping you win the case ), but like you yourself mentioned, Agh50 pretty much did thank for me and everyone else who read the sum up.
Anyway hope that clears up that confusion :P
hmmm coinkydink? <shrug> hard to trust anything anyone says or does when it pertains to those defending Farlan or grandizing the game ya know what I mean? Check the replied posts and others think so too. <shrug>

Well...
Apparently Solareus had a very urgent need for proofs and numbers, which I will be happy to indicate him:
- the registration number of my ownership title is 2003/335 case No3. It can be verified by contacting the appropriate services: the French Tax Office.
- VWorldTerrain technology copyright number is PNP6155. It can be verified by contacting Copyright France.
- VWorldPowered label trademark number is 04 3 291 485 .It can be verified by contacting the INPI (the French Industrial Property National Institute)
No need to thank me.
Speaking about a particular obsession with arithmetic, I've noticed there's a whole thread about movies that could have been about DnL and one of the posters on another thread has made references to Hans Zimmer music, so my turn to make a reference to the last DeNiro's movie:
My name is Vincent Pourieux. I am almost 40 years old. My wife's first name is Florence. I have two children age 15 and 11. I used to play the piano and the clarinet. My son is a great fan of Muse. I programmed my first game at 13. I am the owner and inventor of VWorldTerrain technology.
Your turn now Solareus: What is your name? ...
A quick update on my current affairs: as History always repeats itself, I was told very recently that the charges brought up by NPCube against one of their former salaried employee have been dismissed for the second time, in appeal. This person was accused of having provided VWORLD with certain NPCube 's confidential data.
Want to know more? ... There is a new update on pourieux.com.
Think Solareus is saying, you have no Patent on the technology. I heard a similar case with someone in early 90's actually tried to patent multi core processing, but he had not created it yet and and had no proof of a working module, he is trying to sue SOE's Ps3 because they are using that samee technology in there machines. Now in this area multi core processing is becoming norm.
Think coming to forums and airing your trash is a bit tacky as well , especially when itis still in the process of judged on who's right or wrong.
THe things That I see working against Oix is
1. No patent on the technology
2. He worked on the DnL project
3. He was under Salary
Pix has great points as well, but like someone said , this is life, and it is hard.
Good Luck Pix I hope you achieve something with this, maybe shutting down a game people are starting to enjoy will give the satifaction you deserve. Thanks man, way to be the big guy .

hehe now now _Pix_ dont tease the poor soul ! He wont be able to understand it and will twist it to fit his bash against you so he CAN have some sort of leg to stand on LOL
Great news btw.,Thanks for the headsup! flying over to your site now
Good Luck Pix I hope you achieve something with this, maybe shutting down a game people are starting to enjoy will give the satifaction you deserve. Thanks man, way to be the big guy . I guess there is always 2moons
BWHAHAHAHAAAA yet another one blaming _Pix_ for "shutting down a game" and calling it one "people are starting to enjoy"??? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA

Ignore cogneto. He actually thinks 2Moons is an inspired and innovative game.

Since you are seemingly very well informed about Facts and Laws, you should know that there is a controversy about software patents in Europe and that the European Union has pronounced itself against that practise. No need to thank me for the info.
In any case, it's not because you possess a car, and you can produce every possible papers on Earth stating you are indeed the rightful car-owner, that this protects you from potential thieves. But in any case also they still remain thieves, however hard try to make pretend they are now the rightful car-owners.
History, you know, cannot be re-written (hum ...seems to apply to technologies too in the present case).

And oh... you asked a question on DnL official boards and I just answered it (http://www.darkandlight.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1121138#post1121138). Just in case Alchemic Dream encounters another technical problem with my literature, please find this scarlet copy, in case you missed it. But in all honesty, put your fears at rest, I do not enjoy posting on a forum in which:
- so many "players" insulted me under the blessing eye of forum moderators
- members of Farlan indulged themselves in lying that much about me
- Alchemic Dream felt entilted to "doctor" my posts at will and jumped at the opportunity to minimize my legitimate request by advising me to contact an attorney (which they knew of course I had done already, since quite a long time, but I confirm it's a long journey)
DnL forums' very private membership circle is not my cup of tea, especially in the light of fellow moderators changing pseudo when they come to moderating other games (showing a certain taste for secrecy, to me quite incompatible with a commonly accepted sense of braveness). Much in the same way, sending me private messages trying to explain and make amends for a rather biased behavior by invoking Farlan's great fault and responsibility, and this in an anonymous manner, is to me another token of certain bad work ethics and bad businness pratices in certain circles.
You are not to worry, Finnigan, nothing odd here.
Actually, I post on these boards very rarely. I came to post here because an interview of Vuuar (S.Quilichini) was published and translated in English on these boards. The issue was that particularly false allegations against me were made in this interview, so I used my legal right to have my right of reply published next to S.Quilichini's interview. Since it was impossible for me to post this right of reply directly in the thread that was opened especially for this occasion in the news section (this news was stickied and locked), I posted my right of reply in another thread speaking about this interview: Alchemic Dream then pretended having encountered technical problems and this thread was "reconstituted" in an "off-topic discussion "thread sent at the bottom of the forums, a thread that was locked afterwards.
As a result, when you search for my posts through my profile , you cannot find my intervention in this "recontituted" thread, with my right of reply included in the midst of all the unseparated interventions of the posters. (http://www.darkandlight.com/forum/s...ad.php?p=986632 )
I therefore sent an e-mail to the person in charge of forums (this is dating more than a year ago) and I did not receive any answer to that e-mail.
I then posted a letter with read-receipt to Frederic Caillé, CEO of Farlan, the person ultimately responsible for S. Quilichini's words and Dark and Light's forums: I did not receive any answer to that letter either, and the receipt I received attesting someone indeed received the letter was...blank: no date, no name, no signature.
This I would call quite odd, isn't it?
In the same time I was asking Alchemic Dream explanations about the fact nobody felt the need to answer my request (which was, simply, that I could have normally, as it is standard procedure, my right of reply to the allegations publicly held against me in an interview).
Alchemic Dream promised to enquire on this particular subject and to keep me posted on Farlan's answer.
Yesterday, after several more months waiting, I quite simply came back to these boards to enquire about the result of AD's enquiry to Farlan.
I therefore expect an answer.
Judging by my experience with Farlan/NPCube/Alchemic Dream, I would better be advised not let things as they sometimes strangely appear: for instance, Alchemic Dream spread a false news in 2005 announcing on the forums that Farlan was within their right and that the courts had already been seized to have www.pourieux.com suppressed, as it was a slanderous site, according to them. This is particularly false, and I am still waiting for Alchemic Dream to recognize that fact and publicly apologize for having spread such a false news and take a stand in asserting Farlan was within their right.
I also intervened on this boards as one member of Alchemic Dream (Laellyra)also claimed in July 2005 having "seen" the "new" engine Mafate 2.0 running at NPCube's offices (that is to say, confirming Mafate had been re-written). This "fact" is another false allegation.
As I see it now, these people from Alchemic Dream (Serpico, Laellyra, to quote a few )no longer seem to intervene. In his time, Serpico had not hesitated though to wisely "advise" me to contact an attorney, and stop intervening on Dark and Light game forums about a right of reply, considered as "inappropriate" subject on a forum discussing a "game". Well, frankly I wish I could consider it was humour on the part of Alchemic Dream. What is quite annoying is that Alchemic Dream did not bother to reply to an e-mail I sent with one of my attorneys cc'ed. So yes, definitely , I wish I could consider it was humour on Serpico's part... I would really appreciate being confirmed that point also on these boards.
Also, as I very rarely post here, I am taking the opportunity of that message to wish the players of Dark and Light a good game, and particularly enjoy its vast, seamless terrain with no load times, for free.
Ya know? They are now (and once again!) accusing this forum of drumming up support for you -- why? and in what way would it benefit the end result? -- who the heck knows how their minds work but its still more of the total ignorant bs that comes from DNL. Our support of you has nothing and does nothing to your own legal case. Idiotic and ignorant from those who claim you are "trying to drum up support". Thing is, what they dont want to understand, yet again!, is that you DONT HAVE TO drum up support. Everything that has come to light regarding this game can be read and seen and a logical conclusion drawn on its own. The facts speak for themselves. The support comes when they read what is available in both sides. Farlans reactions are usually knee-jerk juvenile and arrogant responses. LOL Its funny as hell to watch from such grown men. LOL
All of this activity by the DNL boys makes me wonder if some new legal hurdle for them has come to light...they seem to try to get support and players every time something legal happens to them. LOL Wonder what they are going to say in the next press release -- maybe that now its f2p it has surpassed WOW's number of players? BWHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA
I've noticed you answered, agh50 ( http://www.darkandlight.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=70633 ). But unfortunately, since Alchemic Dream moved your interesting thread to a private section, in which I am not able to write, I cannot answer it. Well, I know this is not the right place to answer (but it is neverthess within the subject of the present thread), so I will be very short:
You've asked a simple question on DnL boards which was to wonder why I was posting over there. I therefore answered your simple question, and I am very sorry to hear you did not appreciate my response. I must confess that to me, suggesting the Alchemic Dream mods there to close the subject you chose to open, putting my pseudo as a title, is definitely not what I would call a fair and decent attitude. But as you can see, since I cannot post any reply there now, the result is the same. And this is exactly that unique thinking attitude that I condemn on a particular forum in which I am being discussed at will, not to mention in which many posters assume a let's say questionably aggressive attitude, without leaving me the simple possibility to answer within normal conditions. This is not exactly, you must acknowledge, what I would call having a chance to post without being censored by Farlan/NPCube/Alchemic Dream forums. But I am afraid to grasp in this sad acknowledgement, that developers are definitely not welcome on the forums dedicated to the games they developed.
This was your question, and this my reply. Sorry again if this is not in line with your way of thinking.
Actually, I very did very much appreciate your answer, and said as much in my reply. What I questioned was whether or not the DnL forums were the best place to conduct the discussion---not that the discussion should not be made.
I think that these forums may be a more appropriate location for such a debate, rather than say, your site or DnL's site, as it is a more 'neutral' venue (so to speak).

You see? This "fair and decent" person here poses a question that would fairly be answered by the man himself. When he gets his reply at the sacred board, he requests it be closed and no other reply forthcoming from the man of whom he was asking about. In reality the sheeps clothing has slipped and we see the real wolf underneath.......just like we thought.
Its all a game to these guys. Its total sleaze all the way. These guys have a pattern. Their bs is so plain to see its nauseating. Wolves in sheeps clothing? More like the mold behind the walls.

I particularly like how the poster mars505 states that anyone who questions _Pix_'s motives gets "flamed and called a troll".
Not bothering to notice or mention that the only ones who feel any heat, are those who come with their theories and suppositions (somehow always designed to discredit _Pix_ as just a disgruntled employee), and then refuse to look at or even attempt to understand the facts that have already been uncovered and posted throughout these forum threads.
Those who at least concede that there are legitimate reasons for the feelings of this DnL forum community regarding Farlan/NPcube, as well as more than reasonable cause to believe _Pix_ over them (even if they personally don't), and don't come trolling with reasons why we are in the wrong, and trying to crush an "innocent" developer, kill a game, etc., do tend to at least be given respect in regards to their opinions.

Aye but those that do try to accept the other side of the coin has a stance also ---- then turns into the black mold on the sacred board and tries to drum up the opposite there.
Anyone with any sense at all would see and doesnt have to post a question as to the motives of _Pix_. Tolling here for discrediting him isnt tolerated as much as anything bad reflecting on farlan is deleted and the poster banned at DNL. They honestly cant stand the fact that the posters here back up what they say and are fairly accurate in their posts.
Trying to change history just aint gonna happen. Facing up to what they did obviously just aint gonna happen. Facing up to being the butt and buttocks of the mmo industry just aint gonna happen. Continuing to make fools of themselves and those of their minions is certainly going to continue until there will be nothing but dust of them and an immortal place in the history of the mmo's as the horses asses of all time.
hmmmm,they got those kinda awards at those game conferences dont they? oops....shouldnt let the cat outta the bag now should I?
Holy cow! I can see the DNL people are at it again. They managed to get two threads locked from their instigation.This is an interesting thread. Perhaps someone can post the news of the lawsuit in here without it being locked? That way people will understand a bit more what this is about since theylocked the original one.........
It is quite obvious that an attack at mmorpg.com and its posters has indeed taken place. Reading the other threads and posts it would appear that the latest attempt to discredit any of the ones who have been long term members here has been displayed.
There must have been a movement in the creators legal suit against them otherwise I see no reason for this. I was a Pioneer in this game and promptly requested a refund when it turned out that SOG was indeed DNL and that the "miracle patches" they attempted several times only proved to further break the game. I can also see how the game has not changed since other than Farlan getting desperate in its attempts to provide smoke and mirrors as they have always done.
This is truly a shame that this site has allowed this to go on.
Pix, I too am a supporter of yours. If anything, the actions I have seen since my last posting here, have done nothing more than to increase that support for you and further enhance my belief of Farlan and NPC and any other company involved with them are the scum of the gaming world.
Keep it up Pix and good luck to you in all your endeavors.

As things stand now, Alchemic Dream moved the "Pix" thread you opened into a section into which I cannot answer but in which all the players of DnL can perfectly post. You've asked why I was posting on DnL boards: the very first reason which brought me to post into these forums was to exercise my right of reply, and this more than a year ago, as I explained. I have been denied that right, and I continue to demand it.
BTW I truly think it's a strange understanding of what community forums are all about, as apparently I am now asked to suscribe to DnL (as it free!) to have access to my own words and potentially post again now. IMHO, DnL Team had better announce officially they are returning to a private forum if they want to keep discussions between themselves, and that the general public is no longer welcome on DnL forums. Unless Alchemic Dream is hereby announcing me that I am offered a special treatment ...
FYI My request for a right of reply to false allegations has been officially refused very recently.
PS: Re-your last PM, like I already replied, your questions I presume are bound to raise an interest among the other posters of this forum. NPCube and Farlan are two separate companies. I did not quit NPCube in order to form VWORLD. I was not hired to create a graphical engine (suffice it to check my employment date: 1 of March 2003 and check the fisrt DnL screens, dating 2002 like this one http://static.mondespersistants.com/fansites/mp-dnl/screens/5/127.jpg ). What is true is that I co-founded NPCube end of September 2002.
I would appreciate you read these forums carefully as this matter has been addressed many a time already. VWORLD is the successor of my former company, CPUSoftware, formed in 1997. This information can be verified by contacting the appropriate French Chambers of Commerce. Anyhow VWorldTerrain remains my own property and VWORLD is the only company to grant licensing rights to it, just as CPUSoftware was formerly between 1997 and end 2003.
I confirm that I am a busy man, but as NPCube, Farlan and some of their partner companies held so many false allegations about me/VWorldTerrain/VWORLD I will take the necessary time to answer questions that I deem interesting. Being the target of these false allegations, I learnt at my expense that letting rumours grown behind one's back can be prejudicial.
That's why the Law makes provision for right of replies, and violating this right is simply illegal.
Their actions of squashing anything derogatory about their game or their own actions has been quite the routine at DNL. Problem is, the more people they try to get to try the game, the more haters they generate simply because of their crappy game. The only saving grace is the terrain and they use this to hype the game. The terrain was stolen property and no amount of excuses from Farlan home base will change the facts that are already well known. They are trying oh booyyyyeee, they are trying. Much like their game however its simply not gonna work.
Carry on _Pix_ my man, you have more supporters than you know.

Agree.
Thing is too MMORPG.com wont allow it in this forum but has a reprint of the same article in their NEWS section. After reading several areas, I cannot but help to lean on the side of _Pix_. These people at Farlan deserve all the crap to come home to roost.

Please post your website address again _Pix_. I think also you should reiterate about how recently DNL was in fact found to be using the vworld tech currently even after being ordered not to. I think this is something that should be made more clear to those who are only glancing at this. I think for the sake of the people who really want to see the truth, place your website address in here (I cant remember the address for the free translator though)
Vuuar is still present and reads the many posts whenever he catches the time... Don't get discouraged, the engine runs fine and the feeling of immersion you get is TERRIFIC. We still got some work to do so that you can enjoy this extraordinary experience and it will be my great pleasure to play with you in DnL... But not on the same side as you
Stéphane(DnL)- We want to give the players a sandbox in which to create a real world, this has always been our goal but two years ago the technology was just not there to build what we wanted to build and it is now.
Obviously, the devs were lying to the fans or the devs were lying to the press later on. Guess it depends on which tactic they try to bury this obvious lie.
just found this, proves interesting : Vuuar (FARLAN/NCP) seems to truly suffer from recurrent memory leaks when it comes to certain matters. See what he posted on March 6 2003:
Hello everybody, Vuuar is still present and reads the many posts whenever he catches the time... Don't get discouraged, the engine runs fine and the feeling of immersion you get is TERRIFIC. We still got some work to do so that you can enjoy this extraordinary experience and it will be my great pleasure to play with you in DnL... But not on the same side as you
Stéphane(DnL)- We want to give the players a sandbox in which to create a real world, this has always been our goal but two years ago the technology was just not there to build what we wanted to build and it is now.
Obviously, the devs were lying to the fans or the devs were lying to the press later on. Guess it depends on which tactic they try to bury this obvious lie.
I'm not sure how those statements are lies ...
First Statement:
I am completely immersed in the game, they had an engine working on hardware that was not avaible to the regular consumers , is how I read it.
second statement:
Finally the hardware is made available to the consumers example: 880GTX's gfx cards and multi processing cpu's are made available which was not available in 2003 to the regular consumer, and direct X technologies have advanced as well .
Isn't it weird how people read statements differently. Playing the game right now, I am having a hard time that believing Pix had nothing to do with creating Dark and Light, and have a hard time beleiving the , with no patches or updates in 2007, is running this well.
Something just doesn't jell for me on this whole topic and I will wait eagerly for the courts judgement, which may lean to Pix just for the fact that Pix is going to sell the Licensing to Militaries, and not gaming.

Get yourself informed. READ, COMPREHEND and APPLY that information. You havent a clue what this is all about and frankly it might just be too complicated for you to understand. I URGE you to take a look at VWORLD website and find out EXACTLY what it is as well as EXACTLY what _Pix_ has developed.
Your refusal to do just that only warrants the idea of you are nothing but a troll.
Hehe I think you might have jumped too that conclusion too fast :P.
No I am not agh50 and I can prove it with a single statement, "I don't play DnL".
Also yeah I didn't get to thank Pix for the info ( so thank you Pix, was very helpfull getting up to speed. Also I'm hoping you win the case
), but like you yourself mentioned, Agh50 pretty much did thank for me and everyone else who read the sum up.
Anyway hope that clears up that confusion :P
hmmm coinkydink? <shrug> hard to trust anything anyone says or does when it pertains to those defending Farlan or grandizing the game ya know what I mean? Check the replied posts and others think so too. <shrug>

Apparently Solareus had a very urgent need for proofs and numbers, which I will be happy to indicate him:
- the registration number of my ownership title is 2003/335 case No3. It can be verified by contacting the appropriate services: the French Tax Office.
- VWorldTerrain technology copyright number is PNP6155. It can be verified by contacting Copyright France.
- VWorldPowered label trademark number is 04 3 291 485 .It can be verified by contacting the INPI (the French Industrial Property National Institute)
No need to thank me.
Speaking about a particular obsession with arithmetic, I've noticed there's a whole thread about movies that could have been about DnL and one of the posters on another thread has made references to Hans Zimmer music, so my turn to make a reference to the last DeNiro's movie:
My name is Vincent Pourieux. I am almost 40 years old. My wife's first name is Florence. I have two children age 15 and 11. I used to play the piano and the clarinet. My son is a great fan of Muse. I programmed my first game at 13. I am the owner and inventor of VWorldTerrain technology.
Your turn now Solareus: What is your name? ...
A quick update on my current affairs: as History always repeats itself, I was told very recently that the charges brought up by NPCube against one of their former salaried employee have been dismissed for the second time, in appeal. This person was accused of having provided VWORLD with certain NPCube 's confidential data.

Think Solareus is saying, you have no Patent on the technology. I heard a similar case with someone in early 90's actually tried to patent multi core processing, but he had not created it yet and and had no proof of a working module, he is trying to sue SOE's Ps3 because they are using that samee technology in there machines. Now in this area multi core processing is becoming norm.
Think coming to forums and airing your trash is a bit tacky as well , especially when itis still in the process of judged on who's right or wrong.
THe things That I see working against Oix is
1. No patent on the technology
2. He worked on the DnL project
3. He was under Salary
Pix has great points as well, but like someone said , this is life, and it is hard.
Good Luck Pix I hope you achieve something with this, maybe shutting down a game people are starting to enjoy will give the satifaction you deserve. Thanks man, way to be the big guy .

Since you are seemingly very well informed about Facts and Laws, you should know that there is a controversy about software patents in Europe and that the European Union has pronounced itself against that practise. No need to thank me for the info.
In any case, it's not because you possess a car, and you can produce every possible papers on Earth stating you are indeed the rightful car-owner, that this protects you from potential thieves. But in any case also they still remain thieves, however hard try to make pretend they are now the rightful car-owners.
History, you know, cannot be re-written (hum ...seems to apply to technologies too in the present case).

And oh... you asked a question on DnL official boards and I just answered it (http://www.darkandlight.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1121138#post1121138). Just in case Alchemic Dream encounters another technical problem with my literature, please find this scarlet copy, in case you missed it. But in all honesty, put your fears at rest, I do not enjoy posting on a forum in which:
- so many "players" insulted me under the blessing eye of forum moderators
- members of Farlan indulged themselves in lying that much about me
- Alchemic Dream felt entilted to "doctor" my posts at will and jumped at the opportunity to minimize my legitimate request by advising me to contact an attorney (which they knew of course I had done already, since quite a long time, but I confirm it's a long journey)
DnL forums' very private membership circle is not my cup of tea, especially in the light of fellow moderators changing pseudo when they come to moderating other games (showing a certain taste for secrecy, to me quite incompatible with a commonly accepted sense of braveness). Much in the same way, sending me private messages trying to explain and make amends for a rather biased behavior by invoking Farlan's great fault and responsibility, and this in an anonymous manner, is to me another token of certain bad work ethics and bad businness pratices in certain circles.
You are not to worry, Finnigan, nothing odd here.
Actually, I post on these boards very rarely. I came to post here because an interview of Vuuar (S.Quilichini) was published and translated in English on these boards. The issue was that particularly false allegations against me were made in this interview, so I used my legal right to have my right of reply published next to S.Quilichini's interview. Since it was impossible for me to post this right of reply directly in the thread that was opened especially for this occasion in the news section (this news was stickied and locked), I posted my right of reply in another thread speaking about this interview: Alchemic Dream then pretended having encountered technical problems and this thread was "reconstituted" in an "off-topic discussion "thread sent at the bottom of the forums, a thread that was locked afterwards.
As a result, when you search for my posts through my profile , you cannot find my intervention in this "recontituted" thread, with my right of reply included in the midst of all the unseparated interventions of the posters. (http://www.darkandlight.com/forum/s...ad.php?p=986632 )
I therefore sent an e-mail to the person in charge of forums (this is dating more than a year ago) and I did not receive any answer to that e-mail.
I then posted a letter with read-receipt to Frederic Caillé, CEO of Farlan, the person ultimately responsible for S. Quilichini's words and Dark and Light's forums: I did not receive any answer to that letter either, and the receipt I received attesting someone indeed received the letter was...blank: no date, no name, no signature.
This I would call quite odd, isn't it?
In the same time I was asking Alchemic Dream explanations about the fact nobody felt the need to answer my request (which was, simply, that I could have normally, as it is standard procedure, my right of reply to the allegations publicly held against me in an interview).
Alchemic Dream promised to enquire on this particular subject and to keep me posted on Farlan's answer.
Yesterday, after several more months waiting, I quite simply came back to these boards to enquire about the result of AD's enquiry to Farlan.
I therefore expect an answer.
Judging by my experience with Farlan/NPCube/Alchemic Dream, I would better be advised not let things as they sometimes strangely appear: for instance, Alchemic Dream spread a false news in 2005 announcing on the forums that Farlan was within their right and that the courts had already been seized to have www.pourieux.com suppressed, as it was a slanderous site, according to them. This is particularly false, and I am still waiting for Alchemic Dream to recognize that fact and publicly apologize for having spread such a false news and take a stand in asserting Farlan was within their right.
I also intervened on this boards as one member of Alchemic Dream (Laellyra)also claimed in July 2005 having "seen" the "new" engine Mafate 2.0 running at NPCube's offices (that is to say, confirming Mafate had been re-written). This "fact" is another false allegation.
As I see it now, these people from Alchemic Dream (Serpico, Laellyra, to quote a few )no longer seem to intervene. In his time, Serpico had not hesitated though to wisely "advise" me to contact an attorney, and stop intervening on Dark and Light game forums about a right of reply, considered as "inappropriate" subject on a forum discussing a "game". Well, frankly I wish I could consider it was humour on the part of Alchemic Dream. What is quite annoying is that Alchemic Dream did not bother to reply to an e-mail I sent with one of my attorneys cc'ed. So yes, definitely , I wish I could consider it was humour on Serpico's part... I would really appreciate being confirmed that point also on these boards.
Also, as I very rarely post here, I am taking the opportunity of that message to wish the players of Dark and Light a good game, and particularly enjoy its vast, seamless terrain with no load times, for free.

LOL go _Pix_ go!!! LOL
Ya know? They are now (and once again!) accusing this forum of drumming up support for you -- why? and in what way would it benefit the end result? -- who the heck knows how their minds work but its still more of the total ignorant bs that comes from DNL. Our support of you has nothing and does nothing to your own legal case. Idiotic and ignorant from those who claim you are "trying to drum up support". Thing is, what they dont want to understand, yet again!, is that you DONT HAVE TO drum up support. Everything that has come to light regarding this game can be read and seen and a logical conclusion drawn on its own. The facts speak for themselves. The support comes when they read what is available in both sides. Farlans reactions are usually knee-jerk juvenile and arrogant responses. LOL Its funny as hell to watch from such grown men. LOL
All of this activity by the DNL boys makes me wonder if some new legal hurdle for them has come to light...they seem to try to get support and players every time something legal happens to them. LOL Wonder what they are going to say in the next press release -- maybe that now its f2p it has surpassed WOW's number of players? BWHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA
I've noticed you answered, agh50 ( http://www.darkandlight.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=70633 ). But unfortunately, since Alchemic Dream moved your interesting thread to a private section, in which I am not able to write, I cannot answer it. Well, I know this is not the right place to answer (but it is neverthess within the subject of the present thread), so I will be very short:
You've asked a simple question on DnL boards which was to wonder why I was posting over there. I therefore answered your simple question, and I am very sorry to hear you did not appreciate my response. I must confess that to me, suggesting the Alchemic Dream mods there to close the subject you chose to open, putting my pseudo as a title, is definitely not what I would call a fair and decent attitude. But as you can see, since I cannot post any reply there now, the result is the same. And this is exactly that unique thinking attitude that I condemn on a particular forum in which I am being discussed at will, not to mention in which many posters assume a let's say questionably aggressive attitude, without leaving me the simple possibility to answer within normal conditions. This is not exactly, you must acknowledge, what I would call having a chance to post without being censored by Farlan/NPCube/Alchemic Dream forums. But I am afraid to grasp in this sad acknowledgement, that developers are definitely not welcome on the forums dedicated to the games they developed.
This was your question, and this my reply. Sorry again if this is not in line with your way of thinking.

Actually, I very did very much appreciate your answer, and said as much in my reply. What I questioned was whether or not the DnL forums were the best place to conduct the discussion---not that the discussion should not be made.
I think that these forums may be a more appropriate location for such a debate, rather than say, your site or DnL's site, as it is a more 'neutral' venue (so to speak).
You see? This "fair and decent" person here poses a question that would fairly be answered by the man himself. When he gets his reply at the sacred board, he requests it be closed and no other reply forthcoming from the man of whom he was asking about. In reality the sheeps clothing has slipped and we see the real wolf underneath.......just like we thought.
Its all a game to these guys. Its total sleaze all the way. These guys have a pattern. Their bs is so plain to see its nauseating. Wolves in sheeps clothing? More like the mold behind the walls.

I particularly like how the poster mars505 states that anyone who questions _Pix_'s motives gets "flamed and called a troll".Not bothering to notice or mention that the only ones who feel any heat, are those who come with their theories and suppositions (somehow always designed to discredit _Pix_ as just a disgruntled employee), and then refuse to look at or even attempt to understand the facts that have already been uncovered and posted throughout these forum threads.
Those who at least concede that there are legitimate reasons for the feelings of this DnL forum community regarding Farlan/NPcube, as well as more than reasonable cause to believe _Pix_ over them (even if they personally don't), and don't come trolling with reasons why we are in the wrong, and trying to crush an "innocent" developer, kill a game, etc., do tend to at least be given respect in regards to their opinions.

Aye but those that do try to accept the other side of the coin has a stance also ---- then turns into the black mold on the sacred board and tries to drum up the opposite there.
Anyone with any sense at all would see and doesnt have to post a question as to the motives of _Pix_. Tolling here for discrediting him isnt tolerated as much as anything bad reflecting on farlan is deleted and the poster banned at DNL. They honestly cant stand the fact that the posters here back up what they say and are fairly accurate in their posts.
Trying to change history just aint gonna happen. Facing up to what they did obviously just aint gonna happen. Facing up to being the butt and buttocks of the mmo industry just aint gonna happen. Continuing to make fools of themselves and those of their minions is certainly going to continue until there will be nothing but dust of them and an immortal place in the history of the mmo's as the horses asses of all time.
hmmmm,they got those kinda awards at those game conferences dont they? oops....shouldnt let the cat outta the bag now should I?
LMAO
Holy cow! I can see the DNL people are at it again. They managed to get two threads locked from their instigation.This is an interesting thread. Perhaps someone can post the news of the lawsuit in here without it being locked? That way people will understand a bit more what this is about since theylocked the original one.........
This place is starting to look like DNL boards.
It is quite obvious that an attack at mmorpg.com and its posters has indeed taken place. Reading the other threads and posts it would appear that the latest attempt to discredit any of the ones who have been long term members here has been displayed.
There must have been a movement in the creators legal suit against them otherwise I see no reason for this. I was a Pioneer in this game and promptly requested a refund when it turned out that SOG was indeed DNL and that the "miracle patches" they attempted several times only proved to further break the game. I can also see how the game has not changed since other than Farlan getting desperate in its attempts to provide smoke and mirrors as they have always done.
This is truly a shame that this site has allowed this to go on.
Pix, I too am a supporter of yours. If anything, the actions I have seen since my last posting here, have done nothing more than to increase that support for you and further enhance my belief of Farlan and NPC and any other company involved with them are the scum of the gaming world.
Keep it up Pix and good luck to you in all your endeavors.
As things stand now, Alchemic Dream moved the "Pix" thread you opened into a section into which I cannot answer but in which all the players of DnL can perfectly post. You've asked why I was posting on DnL boards: the very first reason which brought me to post into these forums was to exercise my right of reply, and this more than a year ago, as I explained. I have been denied that right, and I continue to demand it.BTW I truly think it's a strange understanding of what community forums are all about, as apparently I am now asked to suscribe to DnL (as it free!) to have access to my own words and potentially post again now. IMHO, DnL Team had better announce officially they are returning to a private forum if they want to keep discussions between themselves, and that the general public is no longer welcome on DnL forums. Unless Alchemic Dream is hereby announcing me that I am offered a special treatment ...
FYI My request for a right of reply to false allegations has been officially refused very recently.
PS: Re-your last PM, like I already replied, your questions I presume are bound to raise an interest among the other posters of this forum. NPCube and Farlan are two separate companies. I did not quit NPCube in order to form VWORLD. I was not hired to create a graphical engine (suffice it to check my employment date: 1 of March 2003 and check the fisrt DnL screens, dating 2002 like this one http://static.mondespersistants.com/fansites/mp-dnl/screens/5/127.jpg ). What is true is that I co-founded NPCube end of September 2002.
I would appreciate you read these forums carefully as this matter has been addressed many a time already. VWORLD is the successor of my former company, CPUSoftware, formed in 1997. This information can be verified by contacting the appropriate French Chambers of Commerce. Anyhow VWorldTerrain remains my own property and VWORLD is the only company to grant licensing rights to it, just as CPUSoftware was formerly between 1997 and end 2003.
I confirm that I am a busy man, but as NPCube, Farlan and some of their partner companies held so many false allegations about me/VWorldTerrain/VWORLD I will take the necessary time to answer questions that I deem interesting. Being the target of these false allegations, I learnt at my expense that letting rumours grown behind one's back can be prejudicial.
That's why the Law makes provision for right of replies, and violating this right is simply illegal.

Their actions of squashing anything derogatory about their game or their own actions has been quite the routine at DNL. Problem is, the more people they try to get to try the game, the more haters they generate simply because of their crappy game. The only saving grace is the terrain and they use this to hype the game. The terrain was stolen property and no amount of excuses from Farlan home base will change the facts that are already well known. They are trying oh booyyyyeee, they are trying. Much like their game however its simply not gonna work.
Carry on _Pix_ my man, you have more supporters than you know.
Thing is too MMORPG.com wont allow it in this forum but has a reprint of the same article in their NEWS section. After reading several areas, I cannot but help to lean on the side of _Pix_. These people at Farlan deserve all the crap to come home to roost.

Please post your website address again _Pix_. I think also you should reiterate about how recently DNL was in fact found to be using the vworld tech currently even after being ordered not to. I think this is something that should be made more clear to those who are only glancing at this. I think for the sake of the people who really want to see the truth, place your website address in here (I cant remember the address for the free translator though)
just found this, proves interesting :
This was 5 days after I accepted to become a salaried employee of NPCube to develop DnL...And see what Vuuar (FARLAN/NPC)is saying now, at the occasion of E3 2006 :http://www.warcry.com/scripts/columns/view_sectionalt.phtml?site=15&id=404&colid=9706
