Mar 31 2011 20:03 | Floris in MMO algemeen
Op meerder game sites gaat nu het gerucht dat SOE 3 studio's sluit en hiermee dus ook 205 werknemers de laan uitstuurt. Daarnaast zou de MMO Agency ook gecanceld zijn volgens de geruchten..

Aangezien het morgen 1 april is kan het natuurlijk ook gaan om een grap.. We zullen het in ieder geval goed in de gaten gaan houden.

We wanted to share this information with you all directly, rather than having you read about it on another site. We thank the EQ community for their longstanding dedication and support for this landmark game, and we are listening; EverQuest is not going anywhere. The game will continue to evolve full-force for the foreseeable future, and you can look forward to a Producer’s Letter next week with more information about what lies ahead for the game’s development in 2011.

For those who wish to comment, please use THIS thread. It will remain unlocked as long as conversation remains constructive and polite. Our CMs and Mods have been asked to redirect all other related posts to this one as well.

Following is the official notice that you may see on other sites:

As part of a strategic decision to reduce costs and streamline its global workforce, SOE announced today that it will eliminate 205 positions and close its Denver, Seattle and Tucson studios. As part of this restructuring, SOE is discontinuing production of The Agency so it can focus development resources on delivering two new MMOs based on its renowned PlanetSide and EverQuest properties, while also maintaining its current portfolio of online games. All possible steps are being taken to ensure team members affected by the transition are treated with appropriate concern.

This strategic decision will have no impact on SOE’s current portfolio of live games; additionally SOE will transition development efforts for the Denver and Tucson studios’ suite of products to its San Diego headquarters. This strategic alignment of development resources better positions SOE to remain a global leader in online gaming and deliver on its promise of creating entertaining games for players of all ages, and servicing the 20 million players that visited SOE servers in just the past year.
