M&B2 Information thread.

[Emotion]

wait you think that Native is dead? have you been on the Taleworld forums? I play competitive matches on it all the time with my native clan the reason people play native cuz it is more competitive in general the clans actually mean something(no offense) but without strat what is the point of clans in c-rpg because of the restrictions making it hard to won a server its not easy to have clan matches which is why Native exists for clan matches to determine who is better and who has better teamwork c-rpg is a pub mod in all honesty there arent scrims anymore and strat battles arent clan functions its clan and any pubber or other clan who wants to fight the reason NW is so popular is because even that is more competitive than c-rpg I mean you have private linebattles  and the large scale ones that determine who is the best in c-rpg you have no idea you just have the individual skills of players if it was left ot native we would still be alive and kicking GK_Siege has about 90 ppl in it daily

In cRPG, our servers...
NA_1 is 40+ in the morning and 100+ at night.
Community_1 has none in the morning but 20+ at night.
Siege has 40+ - 100+ daily.
EU is even more populated with multiple servers being populated.

If anything. It's about equal. If not slightly more in cRPG.
And my clan just scrimmed three times in 2 weeks.

15:19 <TotalyMoo> Okay so after a quick chat with our CMO I was told that it's not certain who will publish it. It's doubtful that they will ask us though, for some reason.
15:20 <TotalyMoo> But I don't know. People are odd.
15:22 <TotalyMoo> I guess our contract ended with the original M&B series.

Aka Paradox will most probably not be publishing M&B2.

[Jarlek]

[Christo]

so do I ;_;

in b4 EA premium 20$ per DLC, 50$ unlock all weapons

I assumed it wasn't Paradox... Or it woulda already had sub-forum on paradox message boards.

Taleworlds for sure just had a limited deal with Paradox, cuz they developed the game themselves, already had a successful product and didn't need much publisher money (maybe some finanacing for Warband development). Publisher just got it into expanded distribution channels.

Now in 2012-2013 a publisher deal is even less important. Unless M&B2 is a total mess, it's guaranteed to be a huge hit. They don't need publisher money, they don't need publisher promotions, they can negotiate their own (lucrative) digital distribution deals with steam, origin, amazon, impulse, d2d, etc. Box distribution negotiated locally where applicable, and pay promotional costs out of pocket (likely don't need much, since the game has a huge following).

2 words: Steam Greenlight

[Turboflex]

Greenlight is for chump games, steam would be all over Taleworld's nuts for some kind of deal. M&B is one of the most popular games on steam.

[Leshma]

Maybe Mount & Blade 2 is vaporware. Who knows.

[zagibu]

So far, it is.
