Server Questions

Who will host and manage the servers, ProSiebenSat.1 Games or SOE?

SOE will continue to host and manage the European servers for all games under this agreement.

I think he was referring to that.

the remaining 10% is just pure panic because panicking is fun and always best enjoyed in a group setting.

I wish we could go back a month when this all was announced and most believed that pro7 will handle only advertisement, and start over.

I fail reading comprehension

The thing about accounts still stands though

Yes, you've said that already. I'd think you were Marth if you didn't already have a post history. Play devils advocate by all means, but I think being purposefully inflammatory when people are clearly upset easily qualifies as trolling.

And about netiquette. It's not about "recent internet penetration" - as it has penetrated at the same time as in the rest of the world, or with a 1-2 years delay. It's about the fact, that there are a lots of inmatures gaming but way fewer matures. An average eastern-bloc gamer is way younger and we all know how a young gamer can behave (or rather: can't behave himself).

I don't apologise for them - actually I blame them for being a dick - but the world is not that black/white (or red/white) that you may presume anymore.

Rar. True, true. Though I can't tell how high a percentage of the populace has access to pc's/internet in Balkan countries. Of course, also not sure how the distribution of games been done there. World of Tanks is of course a Belarussian company iirc and may have focused more on eastern European localization and distribution channels.

Was a pretty interesting discussion on it on the World of Tanks forums though. Of course in World of Tanks it's also more prominent since there's only ONE chat window that both enemies and allies can use (no /t, /o, /s or /p, just /comallfriendlies or /comalleveryone). That makes the minority heard more of course.

EDIT: Here is one of the more interesting threads on it: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.p...and-who-cares/

YOu are aware that marth got banned for this stuff? Now shutup and go somewhere else, this thread is NOT about ping discussions.

This i take as a misunderstanding. SOE will manage servers to which we log to different account system, completely cut of from SOE. So SOE wont have any proper control over those servers.
Even if its true, it should be other (acceptable) way. Pro7 providing servers, and SOE accounts.

Good because it wasn't personal. Honestly if I hadn't nabbed it, someone else would have.

I cannot clarify more at this time as details are still being worked out. Even though this isn't an official SOE forum, I am reading the feedback (except for the insults because we have a special brain filter). We want to know your thoughts and I'm glad many of you are expressing them.

What? That doesnt even make sense. Why would we log into our Pro7 accounts through servers from SOE, to then end up on Pro7 servers?

Truth is, the game servers are hosted by SOE, just as always. But to access them, you need to go through the Pro7 account thingy.
