Reposted from Heretics forum...
To clear the misunderstanding and accusations from few members in the liquiron forum, I must emphasize on the following issues:
1) The licensing of Metin2 in Singapore was never an intention for our Company to secure players from other existing version. In this thread, I have made it clear that the administrative setup and policy for Metin2 S.E.A. is to suit the adaptability of gamers in our region (referring to South-east Asia, but excluding Vietnam). We have not done any marketing about the eventual launch of Metin2 S.E.A. in all existing Metin2 versions. In fact, I have repeatedly advised players on 3 occasions in US official forum to stop spreading rumors and avoid such discussion. (If I have been spreading rumors during game-play, please provide the screenshot to G4Box for my account to be permanently banned )
2) The main focus of our company is to target gamers in our region. According to latest statistic, South-east Asia has 30 million gamers with an average ARPU of SGD20.00. Games such as MapleStory, Cabel Online, CrossFire and FIFA in our region has achieved 20,000 to 50,000 CCU within a year. Therefore, the feasibility studies gave us a platform to negotiate with the developer to publish Metin2 in the region. (With such statistic, I'm sure that any game publisher or developer would be keen with the marketshare of gamers in South-east Asia)
3) Our company is not keen to publish any development plan or launch schedule for Metin2 S.E.A. as we consider ourselves to be in the preliminary stage. We are only comfortable to make an official announcement when the game is ready for Close Beta. We do not want to commit a date, knowing that there may be unforeseen circumstances arising from hiccups during implementation.
4) Reasons why I choose to provide information through the heretics forum, as I felt that the community here offer me the security and trust. Rather then to elaborate everything, sometime it is better to keep my words simple. More words can create more confusion which will not help the Company to offer an awesome gaming experience. (If anyone have noted, I have not breathe a word in liquiron forum)
5) Our company are inclined to believe that we are able to offer a world-class gaming experience, running on a platform to deliver satisfaction through loyalty marketing. Action speaks louder than words and let us deliver our promise a reality.
From the bottom of my heart, I am thankful to all the supporters. Our team in Singapore will not be a disappointment. Metin2 is not just another game! It is a living community filled with passionate gamers! Business needs to be commercially driven and it can only be successful when the business focuses on the interest of the passionate gamers! I am not just another game publisher. I am a passionate gamer and I know what you WANT!
