ACTU
Des p'tits gars bien
Alors là je crois que je ne dirais plus jamais de mal d'Ubi Soft et Sony Online Entertainment. Au moins jusqu'à demain, promis. Oui parce qu'on a beau leur reprocher tout ce qu'on veut (je me suis largement étendu là-dessus), ce qu'ils viennent d'annoncer est une excellente nouvelle, et une innovation en la matière.
EverQuest: Shadows of Luclin, 3ème extension du Massively Multiplayer Role-Playing Game le plus populaire du moooonde, sera disponible dans tous les magasins de la Terre le même jour : lundi 3 décembre 2001.
Pourquoi mets-je tant de pincettes ? Parce que c'est la première fois qu'un MMORPG est distribué de la sorte. Avant, il fallait soit acheter les jeux 600 balles en import, ou attendre 1 an qu'un distributeur Européen soit trouvé. Pour Dark Age of Camelot par exemple, la beta européenne vient juste de commencer alors que le jeu est en vente aux USA depuis plus d'un mois. Le communiqué de presse après le lien.
Ubi Soft today announce exciting developments for EverQuest®, the world's #1 multiplayer online game. In an unprecedented move, it has been decided to coordinate all countries with a simultaneous GLOBAL release date of Monday 3 December for the latest installment. EverQuest: Shadows of Luclin. This is in direct accordance with customer demand.
In keeping with this massively multi-player on-line title, the community will be able to experience all the wonders bestowed on the continent of Norrath at the same time. Key enhancements provide new player models, additional monsters and the ability to purchase horses.

With over 6 million online gamers in Europe alone, localized servers will offer lower latency for a heightened interactive experience for this growing market. With the first overseas hub in the U.K., additional servers will rollout as each market ripens.
