Age of Mourning: Returns to List

Dana · May 2006

Game removed again pending further investigation... Sorry for the confusion.

AAAAH! It still lives! <Angus reloads his revolver with silver bullets> BANG ... BANG ... AAAH!

Seriously though, if the new owners are good people with honest intentions I'd still like to see this concept succeed.

OMG, the second coming is finally here?!?!?!

It seems they may actually also use BigWorld Technology also which is used w/ Dark & Light ...

Tuesday March 21st 2006 - Big World Technology

After long consideration, Nuanced Entertainment has finally selected an engine to use for the majority of our MMOs.

Big World Technology is one of the most advanced MMO Gaming engines
around today. If it is used right it can produce some amazing quality
MMOs with even greater game play. Nuanced Entertainment is tired of the
old traditional hack/slash, gain levels, be master of all MMOs. We are
gearing toward more in depth games where you or your party can become
entangled in your own world with your own family in your own town.

Design documents, concepts, lore and history, and world maps are currently in development.

Also found a Classified ad from the new owner:

Dear Devmaster.net Community

My name is Adam and I am the founder/owner of Nuanced Entertainment.
Nuanced Entertainment and Loud Ant Software have joined forces to
redesign a MMORPG. We are looking to hire an animator. If you think
your up for it and can work from your home and get paid through paypal
or check in the mail PM me. We are currently looking for two
animations, a walk animation and a run animation. If you have or can
create please let me know. We are willing to pay for these two
animations.

Thanks

Nuanced Entertainment

I need to hear Egomancer is no longer involved at all with this project before I would even look at it again.

naldric · May 2006

i think it's a pretty bad move to choose a game that disgusted so many ppl, most ppl wont even care if it's a diferente dev, it's still Mourning

pirrg · May 2006

oh please.. new owners my arse. Its the same dolts with different names and internet aliases.. youll see in time. I think this is a big mistake by mmorpg.com.

omg...

starkley · May 2006

Why on earth would you want to take on a game with that kind of reputation? Might as well start from scratch.

Scam.

Dana · May 2006

Ignore.

As it still meets the requirements to be on our list, there is no reason not to list it.

Egomancer responding to monthly fee thread on the 14:th may, its the official forums. Kinda hard to claim Egomancer being gone if he is involved in a "business model planned for the game".

First time ever I have seen a company that buys a license also get the exact same site AND forums of the previous version that has "nothing" to do with previous owners.

The new "owner" is a 17 year old high school student. Visit his myspace:

Edit: Sorry I was wrong, he graduated last year. This still looks pretty shady.

It's the same people. Egomancer is still there. Dave Jasinski was posting under a different name and disappeared when his cover was blown. And Adonys is still there, just not posting.

They only lost 90% of their employees and took on a new investor, who acts nice in public but is just as much fo a dick when his fans aren't watching. He actually threatened to sue a fansite if they didn't remove images from the game. Of course it wasn't the images he cared about, it was because they had hosted a particular interview which cast the developers in a poor light and he wanted to be petty.

Amathe · May 2006

Lmao. After being exposed as having the same people who caused all of the trouble, they just took down their forums.

That's hilarious... Nothing has changed at all. I bet those guys are punching holes in the sheet rock/drywall while watching this thread.

lsutig · May 2006

bout time we get some more mourning drama.

Fade · May 2006

if that myspace thing is real, that is just plain hilarious.

Dana · May 2006

Sorry for the confusion guys.

I was not around last time this all happened, but it seems like you guys have found enough to at least make us reconsider. I'm removing it again for the time being and I am sure Craig will look at it closely next week before an ultimate decision is made.

I think I just heard a toilet flush....Did someone lose a turtle?

Whoa...good job with the hook guys. I think you'll find the same crooked faces behind the scenes.

skullbreaker · May 2006

I'm pretty sure they shut down the forums not because they were "exposed" but because they just added a guild that was a bunch of people who have following the game for like 2 months into a special beta... basically to keep them interested and hopefully scam their money because they were unaware of the history of the game.

Meanwhile, their loyal fanbois were left out in the cold, and obviously got mad for being slighted in favor of the new guys on the block.

As with any time that people have started posting legitimate complaints and problems with RoT, Mourning, or AoM, they shut down the boards. Previously they would just wipe the boards and blame software errors, but it seems like this time they want their irritating, questioning fans to shut the F up permanently.

Things really never change until you hold someone accountable, and it seems like as long as there's a sucker somewhere in the world Ego, Dave, and Ado will keep on screwing people.

Oh, and yeah, their new investors/producers whatever are 16 and 17 year old kids. No idea how this happened, but it doesn't surprise me considering how inept the original guys are. Colton Burgess (the new "producer" and PR guy) has a deviantart page at http://number45.deviantart.com/ where he says he's 16 or 17 or something. His AoM board name used to be coltonb45 or something like that. When his deviantart page (number45) came up he quickly took the 45 out, though :P Slick!

And can anyone link to that 50+ page thread on Mourning here? I seem to have lost it.

pirrg · May 2006

They brought this on themselves. You reap what you sow as they say.

Mourning II - The Return of the Thing...

ya'll seem kind of dumb to me.

i dunno how a game that only accepted a few hundred orders mainly from europe , never had huge hype marketing , could of "upset so many people" like you say.

darkandlight took 9,000 orders at $60 each for sumthnig that doesnt even resemble a game and is still listed here.
