Wow real nice a new DLC adds 15% $10 is abit steep as the game was 60 but I guess 15% is about right $9 is 15% of $60. I hope they do increase the level cap though.

i just ran into a bad bug. I'n on the Hosue of Ballads part and on the quest 'Cursed Kingdom'.

That lady said i had to go to see the Chancellor of Weddemore(sp?), Segrall. But whenever i go to him, he starts to act like i want to kill him and i can't complete the quest. I have a save, but its from an hour before. Kinda sucks, but i guess that save file got messed up.

I just hope it doesnt happen again.

Both the physical copy and the digital download activate on Origin, so either way you'll get a digital download copy.

The Legend of Dead Kel trailer, it launches tomorrow and hopefully there will be a sale to coincide with the DLC release.

Oh yeah mckerney! I need to stop playing The Show and get on with KOA so I can get this DLC.

That's too bad. I mean, they were stupid to take those loans just to move states, but KOAR is a very good game.

It probably wasn't a good plan to do such a large scale MMO project right out of the gates. Even if they had been able to make it to release they probably would have had a hard time making it profitable. The market is already pretty full and even the big games like WoW and TOR are struggling.

Plus they had a pretty large staff for a company with a well received but not amazingly successful game sales wise. I think I had read that the loan from Rhode Island committed to them having 400 full time employees before Copernicus would have launched. For comparison I believe Valve has around 250-300 employees.

Hmmm my post might win the FOFC Bad Timing Award. Sorry obviously didn't know anything about the financial troubles.

It's disappointing. I watched the video this morning, the world looks stunning.

Rhode Island will own the IP, maybe they'll finished up the game.

Best case scenario is probably a decent dev being able to buy the project at a good price from Rhode Island if the state wants to just get something and sell cheap. Hopefully they won't be looking to recoup all of their losses.

I'm not sure how much "generic fantasy world" is worth. I enjoyed KOA but it's not exactly the most original land ever. It was the RPG I play when I'm tired so I don't have to think too much. At this point it has been replaced in that category by Diablo 3 for me.

Obviously these guys had no concept of managing their costs. KOA did sell pretty well. It's not Call of Duty or Halo, it did well for the type of game it is.

Some developer might be interested in picking up and finishing the product, could be a good deal if they can get a partially finished game at the right price. Probably not worth a big investment even for someone who can afford it though.

I think 38 may also own the rights to Rise of Nations, would be nice to see someone pick that up and do something with it. I'm sure EA could turn it into an awesome third person cover shooter.

Shocking, it's all RI Gov. Lincoln Chafee's fault that Schilling took those massive loans and his company failed.
