But then, I never paid much attention to Apoc.
If they need to do more Action Combat testing, the Battle Royale may appear again as well.
Hopefully never.
Awesome!

What is your reasoning for that ?
He probably hates the BR and everything it stands for....
But it is a very unique way of testing in game things. I dunno if he knows what is the objective of Apoc. But it is a platform for the developers. Open it for public and let the positives and negatives flow ( i mean about the combat system etc. not the BR side of it.)
Oh I agree with you. Unfortunately a lot of people hate BRs so passionately that they don't see the benefits of using it to test certain features of an mmorpg.
See, I hate BR's, but do see the value it had.
Seeing the value didn't mean I was going to put my time in to somethjnf I didn't enjoy though.
Or that side project just delays the MMORPG. Sure some parts of BR can be used for MMORPG but not everything, APOC is own standalone product and needs extra resources. I bet you have not thought about that, but hey do not worry you are not alone.
Wrong!
I had no motivation to keep on playing it after i got my Obsidian Armor and most of us who wanted to test it got most of the rewards in the first run.
I was so excited for alpha i completely forgot about castle siege and horde mode. Weren't those supposed to happen before alpha? Did i miss an announcement or something?
There is nothing innovative on the Apoc BR. Literally everything that is in the Br game can be used in MMO. (maybe not the looting system) But from the zone to the way the armor/character looks can be used. So it is a thing that would be either way done now or later. *And i thought about lot of things. Sure it gets extra recources, time, and unnecessary bad rep. by the ppl who do not know what the purpose of it is.But i would rather get everything working before the alpha comes out and the things are already in place, rather then do it after. *

Somehow, perhaps just because of who posted it, I believe this quote to be accurate.
Yes those were. However, the pressure to deliver the Alpha 1 was getting too high and if IS would been continue focus on BR and parts thereof it would delay the MMORPG A1 test phase further, perhaps till next year. Therefore, that would been lead to avalanche of negative feedback and decrease of the reputation even more. So this change was more than welcome.
He didnt use TeamSpeak. He used MSN Windows Live Messenger!
Now we are engaged in a great discussion, testing whether that project, or any project so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great message board of that game. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those MMOs who died here, that Ashes might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow, this phase of testing-- The brave projects, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.
did he also use bebo ?
Yes, if that was the name of his carrier pigeon.
Let Apoc die. Put Castle Siege in Alpha 1 or 2. Then host Siege Weekends for either everyone or those that bought lesser packages. You're still going to test your backend, your siege mode, your combat and the main game while not misallocating resources. All your backers then get a chance to test the game and encourages others to buy a package or upgrade their current one (if that's a thing).
I thought it was ICQ.
This is the main point! All the testing could been done with less resources and faster schedule without the need to implement another game to test out mechanics of MMORPG. However, parts of the Apoc project can be used with the development of AoC but not everything is needed.
