Forum Watch #4 - It's Been A While!

So, with the buzz created by Reakktor's return to a fully operational state the community have been a little busier with some speculation and chatter of late - so we're back behind the wheel of our Forum Watch feature!

 The same day as our fearless leaders in Hannover return to business proper we got some fantastic eye-candy from the ever graphically talented runner, Michael Corvin with some very sexy Neocron themed Forza Motorsport 3 skins.

 Slightly more relevant the speculation begins proper with the usual 'patch wish list' headed up by runner Torg with a little twist as he wants wants to know your 3 Wishes for Neocron.

 The speculation and ponderment continues from the runner Seltec next who has started quite an interesting discussion regarding Neocron's potential future on a new graphics engine, this one is true speculation and wishful thinking at the moment but where would you like Neocron 2.X/3's Graphical Future  to go?

 Moving along we have a rare sighting, some role-play heaven forbid! Something that even shows a rare gap in the TechHaven Network's fantastic Item DB ! Check out runner Torg's encounter with The Mysterious Dr. Abramov, have you met the good Doctor?

 A pretty good question follows next from the runner Izeo who's wondering after all this time, just when were the beloved OPs we fight for day-in, day-out actually built ? Could this be time for a History re-cap for some of you?

Another important question next, one the TechHaven Network would certainly like to know the answer to. Runner L0KI asks, who's coming back for the patch?

Runner zii has been having a bit of think on some content he'd like to see from the patch and has come up with a plan for the Crahn Church in the Dome of York and their Black Dragon allies.

November has seen the social side of the community reignited from the buzz of 169 and a few meetings are being organised - runner aKe'cj would like to see you lot in Germany, while runner Eddie Murphy wants to get the party started a little close to home.

 Another few threads cover some other areas, such as speculation over the future of in game GM-held Events and an interesting view on every post apocalyptic socialites favorite supject. Neocron's shopping scene.

To finish we really need to mention this thread as for months now a truly dedicated bunch of runners have been hard at work at another Neocron experience in the form of a Source DeathMatch Modification and so far their work looks out-standing! 

Be sure to check out official forums as they are still alive and kicking and throw up some awesome conversation - so be part of it and show ReaKKtor this game has a dedicated community worth working for!

Yet more Neocron related news?

Too Right.

Following on from the general statement of operations given to the Black Prophecy community yesterday, some more news has arrived relating to Neocron.

Kirk, ReaKKtor CEO, has once again personally dropped by the Neocron Community Forums, with some fantastic news. Now that KK are operating under their own steam again, this has granted them more freedom in their development choices - meaning none other than a Neocron Patch.

Patch 169 is finally on the cards.

A particularly exciting ectracts reads as follows:

"To enable a long-term future for Neocron, but also to lay foundation for a possible Neocron 3, we consider these measures as necessary. We assume to be able to provide the reactivation of the payment options and the deployment of said patches within the next three months."

I'm sure you will agree this is utterly fantastic news and personally this has me grinning like an idiot. Hit up this link  to read Kirk's full community address.

 
Reakktor Media GmbH 'Fully Operational'

Yesterday we broke the news of a report on several German gaming websites declaring the end of ReaKKtor's insolvency crisis. This information has been officially confirmed today in the new issue of the Stella Vox Community Bulletin by Community Manager, Chris 'Snowcrash' Schuett.

"Some weeks have gone by since the last Stellarvox Community Bulletin and it is time again to provide you with some fresh information about Black Prophecy.

This time we have quite pleasant news for you. The responsible District Court in Hannover has abrogated the current insolvency proceeding of Reakktor Media GmbH’s assets. This means that we are finally out of the insolvency and again fully operational. With this huge obstacle out of the way, we are now in a far better situation for the negotiations with potential publishers. Having the insolvency sitting in our neck made things far more difficult and we are convinced that we’ll be able to provide you with more good news within the next weeks."

I'm sure you will all agree this is fantastic news, it's been a rough 16 Months for ReaKKtor and everyone here at the Tech Have Network is thrilled to finally hear that the developer behind our favourite MMORPG is back on track.

Congratulations ReaKKtor!

Those who've been following this for a long while may remember that Reakktor's previous ownder, 10Tacle Studios AG declared insolvency. KK quickly explained that they hoped to survivie this while all the other stuios owned by 10Tacle were closed down. Today, several german gaming sites are reporting having recieved a press release from Reakktor stating that the insolvency is offically over. You can read some (very good) google translations here and here. They also state that Black Prophecy will be released in 2010 - a 2009 release having been looking less and less likley as the months go on of course. We'll be poking Reakktor for more information tomorrow. One has to wonder if this means free Neocron will be coming to an end any time soon.
 
Extended Server Downtime - 24-25 October
Site News

Monday, 19 October 2009

The Tech Haven Network will be unavailable from Saturday 24th October 07:00BST until Sunday 25th October 19:00BST.

This is due to the THN being moved to new server hardware. (More CPU power, more Ram, and more uberness as well!) The long downtime is to allow for any issues to be resolved, but I am hoping the site to be back online a lot sooner!

Update: 23 October - the planned downtime has been postponed, a new date will be set soon.(tm)
