Reakktor Media GmbH has announced that it will team up with the Hamburg-based publisher gamigo AG on its upcoming space-based MMO, Black Prophecy.
The companies have also decided to make Black Prophecy free-to-play, which is something that fans have been wondering about since the game was announced last year.
Black Prophecy will be closing its doors on September 26th, 2012. After August 29th, it will no longer be possible to purchase KK$, the Black Prophecy in-game cash currency. Players who have purchased KK$ in the past 6 months and still have KK$ in their account will receive an email with a voucher code that can be applied with any other gamigo title, such as Black Prophecy Tactics: Nexus Conflict. On top of this, players will still have access to their remaining in-game funds and are free to use them until the closing of the servers.
I guess with good reason considering no one here has even heard of them or their game.
Wow you guys suck. This thing was released last year!
A subscription model kept me away from buying though. Why pack a flat rate when I only game a few days of the week at most. Not many MMO projects have ever been smart about their money. They always push to be like WoW, but that only works if you grab a large crowd from the start. There are hundreds of other ways to make money off people in MMO games.
One of my friends lives very far away. We keep in touch by playing Free2Play games together. Do you and a few friends want to play something different but the plethora of sub par options out there tends to squash the temptation to stray from your CoDs and WoWs?
Here are a few suggested titles you may want to try.
Black Prophecy is pretty fun! Sorta like Eve Online but No grinding No steep learning curve, no super hard strategy, More action!
by saying "No grinding" your telling me that you haven't progressed past the tutorial missions (which is like 10 hrs of gameplay long)
Doug Fairall: Mass Effect 3 is upon us, but if you’re like me and have too many bills and not enough bill-paying-money, then you might not be able to hit the midnight release and snag a copy of the game you’ve been waiting months to buy.
BLACK Prophecy is pretty good cause I'm currently playing that myself.
it's not perfect but they make improvements all the time.
Lots of space combat.
Can it be - an exciting version of EVE?!
Might serve as a stopgap while I wait for Jumpgate Evolution. When's that out, again? This side of never?
free to play? Micro transactions then
holy crappin crap, this was what I was hoping EVE would be! I can't wait for this one for sure! I downloaded the big ass 7 minute gameplay trailer and was just blown away! I just hope I dont have to mine for 3/4 of my entire life to buy a decent ship.
