APB - All Points Bulletin

[TheRock]

APB is off.. since 19 september.

[Flash]

Why?

[TheRock]

read previous pages... money debt, company closed down.

[Flash]

Fucks sake, I paid 50 euros for nothing?

[TheRock]

Bad luck

[Rusty]

f**ks sake, I paid 50 euros for nothing?

Yes.
Game was never going to be a massive hit anyway.

[TheRock]

Bump but for good.

APB has been bought from K2 Network.

K2 Network , Eurogamer claims it's a 1,5 mil deal.

Source--Story

I just hope K2 Will not f**k the game, but fix it or improve it. It's actually the only subscription project I know which has to do with a real-life-looking MMO... unlike the rest MMO which all are with galaxy or monster characters...

[Oliver]

APB always had potential, yet it's not something I'd pay for to be honest.

[TheRock]

Personally, I'd LOVE to see it back online.. But as long the game theme.. is not changed... I mean, I hope they don't change the characters from human to other or etc..

I kinda doubt that could be done, it's not like, a Star Wars MMO could be turned into a WoW new Expansion :P

APB failed because it refused to listen to the people who beta tested it even though they took people who had VCMP and SAMP backgrounds and rumored dev's from LSRP and GodfatherRP were apart of the beta, despite the fact that half the DEV who made APB team was behind GTA SA, and SAMP. It's sad but the missions in game were really fail and if anything the game would have turned into a Argo like MMO however for only being live 3 months before close it currently has the World Record for "Shortest Live MMO" Yeah its nice to have a fully customized skin but I mean the entire game was a 100% rip off of SAMP and VCMP if the game was still going i would think SAMP and VCMP and even IVMP would have died slowly like another MMO i play because the DEV team BARLEY listens to the players and Maximizes profits!

1. I was the only person in the APB dev team that even knew what samp was.
2. Beta testers had a voice, unfortunatly all we got was "OMG MAEK DIS WRK"
3. There were 42 beta testers from samp/vcmp backgrounds, out of 1200 beta testers.
4. The point of APB was cops n robbers, not Roleplay.
5. The feedback we got on missions were that they were amazing fun, even though they were all similar.
6. I'd like to see you make a better MMORPG.
7. The customisation was one of our selling points, we had to make it a huge thing.

Also, to Louis, the company that apparently bought out APB, good luck to them, but the audio system will need to be remade, as it wasnt licensed to RTW, a small team of us + LastFM made it, so the code technically belongs to LastFM.

Lmfao,

Devs were not behind GTA SA..
Only the actual RTW Owner Dave Jones who actually found GTA ... (GTA 1 & 2 i think only)..

I believe one of it's fails were to give the ability to buy game time from selling ingame items... that ate it.
