Well Biglines, think of it this way. Some of those who support the community were previously paid employees, and with the insolvency, perhaps those people are not able to be paid even for time they worked prior to knowing they would not be paid. So support the people who support you by supporting Reakktor if you cannot justify outright, blind dedication to the company, think about those who have deciated a decade to serving you in the best capacity they have been permitted :) Ya dig? ^^ Was that too obtuse?
as usual i express myself poorly. I wasn't saying im not supporting KK, I'm saying I can understand the anger, as in there's no point badmouthing people who do not want to, they have every right not to.
But I will always support all the hardworking people at KK, and like I said, I personally have no problem with KK doing other projects, as long as they are honest and open about it. I just hate KK's policy of secrecy and misleading messages.
Bloody hell!
This really is a grasping at straws moment for KK. I thought BP would of helped to keep KK up and running. Facebook? Really?
Excuse my cynicism but what's the guarantee that this wont happen again? If KK pulls themselves out of this what contingencies or business plans are there to secure KK's future?
I have faith that the community will support you, as we all love you, but the community is small. Everyone is either dead or dieing and those that haven't ended up living in the sewers; emerging to the surface for Kirk's posts, are very weak.
Anyway the important thing is that the staff at KK are ok. With or without NC continuing.
You'd be surprised.Quote:

it can backfire really easily too though, good facebook campaigns are generally very sensitive and should really be handled by good PR firms or PR managers, none of which KK has :p
au contraire enough well meaning people in one place can change anything :) (I am um, quite good at social stuff I have my own website and wikipedia article ;))
Examples:
facebook.com/ratm4xmas

most average people spend more time on social media these days than any other website. That's not an exaggeration, just google it.
plus.google.com is better though but diasporaproject.org is even better :)
Reakktor: Get on twitter.com too, and post things to #hashtags like #games and such so you can get attention from the wider internet who don't know who reakktor is :)
• Do a search on hashtags.org for popular game related tags that people are most likely to be monitoring to get the maximum amount of attention -- contact the media organisations and games magazines too like PC Gamer etc :)
Reakktor: Rename Facebook group in options, set a username in the Edit Page button, it lets you rename your facebook group to something like facebook.com/SaveReakktorSpreadTheWord or something instead of facebook.com/pages/Save-Reakktor-Spread-the-Word/194474483990280 ... which makes it much easier for people to spread the word :)
mods Thank you for restoring my posts suggesting ideas for Neocron 3, I am very grateful and I will gogogo join now :)

put it on steam youll make money over night, even if it 5 bucks or less, there are millions of game whores who must have any game they can afford to their steam collection.... im not sure how insolvency effects this, but I can guarantee generated revenue over night, my friends do this with their indy games all the time, their games are much simpler and crapier then NC ever could be
that is a very good idea! :) there is also CD Projekt that run gog.com which has very cool stuff on it they even got EA to give up some stuff like Dungeon Keeper 2 which I love :)

... you get the idea, that's just my list of games there I accumulated over the years :)
Neocron could be the very first "good old ONLINE game" they publish :)]
I agree that getting the game on Steam should be high up the list of desired ways of publishing the game. If timed correctly a release free of any major bugs can create an influx of players NC did not even have at it's best time. And it would not need much marketing either. Announce it on steam with some eye candy so it is on the "coming soon" list to get people curious.
Yeah.. but I think Kirk is right when he says that they first have to do a overhaul on Neocron.
Otherwise you wont be able to hold the playerbase.
lol like they are now???Quote:

WTF is this servers down in 30 days?
Good run all, sandwich your asses off
If so that's not a good way to make your player base feel confident.
