Planet Cyrene: What happen?

factions, and mechs etc are developed by MA. Furthermore it's my guess Cyrene also needs taming for it to launch.

I've been following this PP with interest and judging by the posts by officials what seems to have happened here is some kind of fallout. Around a year ago Ed wanted to launch but couldn't. Perhaps Ed got tired of the lenghty development time of those systems he needed. Actually I suspect it's not development but release of those systems as he said they were ready to launch. So it's likely for some unknown reason to us a lot of systems are being held back i.e. not released although they are developed. This could happen if they need certain conditions to be met before launch which unfortunately have not been met. Conditions possibly related to player perceptions and numbers i.e. (prefer to keep that uder wraps for now :) )



So anyway it's likely the Cyrene development team has been diverted to other CK projects, with only a skeleton team remaining to keep things ticking over. Once MA are ready perhaps Cyrene devs will be beefed up again.


All speculation on top of speculation. A whole chain of speculations :-) So although may sound plausible could all be incorrect.

 

And I thought "I" was a storyteller.

 

Everyone is Since it is said everyone has a story to tell...

but judging by your comment I would imagine you also think it's somewhere close to the truth...

Women rarely get to the point directly so yup you definitely agree with me

 

I see you also like walking the edge.

You ARE the speculation man, and no, I don't agree with you.

 

Who me? wouldn't dream of it

 

Surely Lykke could comment on this? or is she on leave at the moment? Are there any threads like this on the cyrene forum?

 

The most recent thread would be this one:
http://www.cyreneforum.com/threads/is-cyrene-death.1234/

Notice Kris posted but avoided main question. Lykke also posted and mentioned the positive side.

I suspect the problem is they can't say much as they will be drawn into a discussion into things which they really shouldn't be talking about...

So we should word our questions carefully, such that they can say yes/no and then maybe then we can get some answers :)

 

Hey guys!

I really love to have interaction with the players, and I'm pretty active over on the Cyrene Forums , I do my best and try to answer questions as I can.

I'm going to answer George's questions here (with one amendment):

1) Has there been a reduction of staff working on Cyrene in the past months? No
2) Are you expecting an update for Cyrene along with the other Planet Partners? Yes
3) Are you expecting to increase staff working on Cyrene anytime from June-December 2013? Yes (I'm hoping for a shrink, or some sort therapist, =p)

I want to mention that these answers are simple and don't reflect everything that is happening with Cyrene, and I would like to assure everyone that Cyrene is not dead =) and we are working with closely with MindArk towards creating a really solid Planet.

Cheers,
Kris

 

Good to hear that and gl with development.

 

Very nice answers Kris. Thanks for taking time for answering. So my theory was incorrect, interesting...

 

Good answers I'd say. I think that is all we were really asking, a sort of "Hello? is there anyone home?" so to speak. Intersting about the recruitment.. or is it really just a shrink that's needed ;)

I like "working closely with MA" I hope that means Cyrene are helping to develop the features needed for the planet

Oh Wistrel! I have something to show you:

Sorry for the low quality ><

Cheers,

Nice pic Kris where can I get those clothes.

 

*coughs* hangars *coughs* :)

 

Hi everyone - great to see Kris replied here. And sorry for not seeing it, but I am much more active on Cyrene forum than here too - and have been 'on-off' for a few - but as Kris said; Cyrene is definitely not dead =)

About hard launch; we apologize for not 'getting there' yet - but as the planet developed we found that fixing issues on what we released was much more important than rushing through a hard launch. That doesn't mean, that we forgot about hard launch; just that we have been focusing on planet structure/features, bugs, players opinions and wishes first - and as Kris mentioned, we are working intenesly with MindArk to create a great planet =)

 

Snazzy! Thanks :)
