Horizons Sold: What Now?
We earlier reported about the recent takeover by EI Interactive of the MMORPG, Horizons: Empire of Istaria, from Tulga Games. So you may be asking yourself what’s in store for Tulga now that this happened, well, first off the deal is synonymous to saying that nearly everyone who worked for Tulga Games is out of a job. But EI Interactive bigwigs allegedly plan on interviewing many former Tulga Games developers for positions at EI Interactive. To lighten up that guilty feeling?
Four Tulga Games employees in relevant fields, which includes David Bowman, will remain on deck at Tulga to assists EI Interactive. Would they stay for good? EI doesn’t have any specific plans for him or the other three who would temporarily be employed.
EI Chairman Edward C. Andercheck also didn’t have a clear agenda on the future of Settlements– the announced expansion to Horizons. But there is still a glimmer of hope since at the time of the transfer, Settlements was still in the design phases and EI has not yet decided whether they will pursue it. Also he divulges his interest in pursuing the original race wars concept (all the races of Horizons would have been at war in a PvP-oriented title), as options for entirely new servers.
EI Interactive is an in-game support oriented company and in the short term, fans of Horizons should expect the company to have a strong presence in the game world as they find out from their players where they hope Horizons should go next.
