Hello! I'm guessing there will be a lot of questions for you as a new publisher for 9Dragons. Even more since you basically just showed up overnight and are bringing in two old titles which still have a player base in them. 1: Are you in any way afflicted to any of our old publishers? Curious since the position with the most popular EU/US version is at the moment really in the doubts. 2: Do you have any former experience of 9Dragons? If so, about how much on a scale 1-10? 3: This is a question that I doubt will be answered, but I'll try anyways. How long is your contract with JoongwonGames? 4: How prioritized will 9Dragons be with you? "Flagship" or just one in the bunch? 5: Because you're going to use the korean version as a base, does that mean we'll get updates faster? 6: What rates will you have, compared to the former US versions? Will you also have EXP events, and if so, which days, how long and how high will it be? 7: Do you have any plans for any start-up events?
As an experience veteran of many of 9 Dragons publishers can tell you 100% of the time publishers do not deal with forums or threads. I am willing to answer some of this questions & maybe others will add in as well. I am a 9 Dragons player since the very beginning was the only American to play on the KN/HK servers. From my years of playing this game have played under every publisher of 9 Dragons possible. 1. a) Old publishers is something most won't talk about in forums or in private mode. b) Game would be open to all countries & later changed depending upon abuse. 2. a) Many years, many screen shoots, many alliances, have been around many p publishers. Game started in 2004 back at Acclaims {American Version} however, the other versions was in 2001. b) Scale 10, over 10 years of 9 Dragons knowledge, even still have The Historian on my tweeter. You most likely do not know him he was the person who left team for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic. 3) a) What contract laughs out load, many was talking about this on other forums late night. Contracts is something that goes through Publishers, Game Masters or Admins would not release that information to the public. The life of an MMORPG is about 5 years, as many knows the game is has been around for years. Best guess 5 years mate. Look back at Games Campus laughs even more 4) a) Every community starts with forums as the game is progressed it becomes more organized. As many others come in it becomes a "Team" or "Staff" with will oiled parts. As for the "Flagship" you must think as it maybe the lead of all things to come later combing. At the moment, it is all one bunch, surely forums will be progressed with more categories. 5) a) That really depends on integration of the data base aligned with KN version the speed of updates could be manual patches & later turning into normal updates. Must wait to see how the process is going to work on the upload or patch ups. 6) a) The former exp ratio should be increase in skill ratio, however knowing how most servers are upon the skill ratios will be very low & skill ratio be even lower. That does not even include errors, patch fixes, additional content or things to come. 7) a) Events are usually started about 3 - 6 months into game launch depending upon store launch, along with other variables for events to happen. Other factors may also be key to events. Maybe have a forum event before actual in game events.
You'd love to see my screen from 2004 mate you be like wow a desert within game OBT started in 2005, by 2006 was when first reached Hermit cap

Can tell you of all my years within the game was not an easy task have helped my servers, help found bugs when others did not care, & always remembered to carry on as staff even without present of Game Masters. Will have to go pull out old folders later tonight to upload older screens of the past journey in 9 Dragons. Can tell you am the only American who did play on 9D KN server & soon KN will be here.
@Sponk, Not be rash my friend have more time in every game company than you can possible image. You stated they are irrelevant to your request you are incorrect look at times, dates, stamps. Look close you will see 2004. Those who use wiki make me laugh if you been to college it is a very unreliable resource. My name has never changed expect for 2 times in the community was known as Hardtime81, LinkSungFu, 9DragonsHermit Go search me on Acclaims, Indy21, G1, GC, iPlay9d, Suba, will not post my KN name due to agreement with CEO Younge 2002. I am 100% sure others who know me will back me with my time. Way Back Machine to Acclaims is your proof that it existed. As stated will have to go pull up all folders just to show you screens of how game looked before updates. I am sure to rock a lot of GM's which know was in Geo Plane with them. https://web.archive.org/web/*/www.acclaims.com Acclaims 2004 Video Production 2006
You're being worse than Jamie but at least Jamie had some sort of justification and I thought he was a bit of a know it all haha!
Satirical but true. I have always had an issue with being a know it all but I don't feel I'm even slightly as bad as the person above us?
If you have been around the games or productions than you would know all the pain of each publish, the start, the end, the era, the rise & fall. Am I better than anyone nope, have played with many 9 Dragons servers/publishers ever possible. Am I worse than Jamie well depends on PK server let's get in game am sure you will grind with me or rock those who try to PK too. What is your story have told you mine & no one can take it away. Even once wrote the original write of the book of 9 Dragons & after many many years of game play since what he was talking about so many years ago. Who else is here online with knowledge of the game. I am like Jamie very critical to this version soon to be released play as many years in every publish, ever server. Hero's come & go but, true Legends stay the same which reminds me to invite Legend. We are titled to our opinions about one another as The Hermit once told me "Grasshopper, young master to all one day you will know of the true path & journey may your journey within the lands be peaceful, may you rain terror upon others, & always stay true to your family & friends."
@Jamie never said we was a like, you think am full of it now there is the old Jamie i know... never posted in sub forums for a reason. But, here is very different lot was pm on FB saying you got to go to Fox... Why would I have verified information from Sub, was there on day one of launch stayed to self like always do. You say am poorly written what the hell is this English Major class no it is forums. discussion for topics. I am more critical than you are trust me, love to prove everyone wrong even remember my rants to GM Hyperion.... What information do you have see you from another forum to you say chill you should do the same mate no trying to be offensive. Do have proof been around long time I am 100% sure I have more time than you have too you love me or hate me I do not care. Get in game I tank you like before than have so many report cause I am just that good they have to give me 3 days off from PK.
You know instead of sitting here arguing with you cause you do not know history of the game is your own right cause you do not know. Bringing back to the topic of other forums topics I know it is better to not bring up other publishers or discussion of other 9 Dragons within other forum threads. Trust me when go to get my files which still have nothing to prove to you or another you be dead wrong in tracks & will send that too you in pm instead of posting about it opening then after you can apologize for being wrong. As will another who has called me out cause they do not know my history or the time we game together cause it has been over 4 years since we chat or game. Let's do this as a leader, lead by example & we leave the old 9 Dragons in the past where it died & other topics of communities out the discussions. Cause like others said this is a different forum, a different way of the game & we must all wait to see how it plays out.
