    Everyone please participate in the discussion by staying on topic which is the naming of a publisher for Russia and CIS countries.

    I don't see this game doing well in Russia. Seems that Korean mmo's fare better over there.

    I know there's a pretty big community for UO. I wonder if the new publisher is hoping to bank on that?

    One must be a psych ward patient to give up EU states to a Russian publisher. Not to mention how CIS is effectively a dead construct for a long time - for example usage of credit cards issued outside of Russian Federation is very problematic in RuFed, it's practically impossible to pay for a game content without Russian card.

    Thank you for your time!

    Looking at the WaybackMachine, looks like this has been a thing since 2015, wonder why it's just being announced?
