“Free-to-Play Prophecy” or “There is a Racist Joke in Here Somewhere!”

Alganon: this is what you should have done from the beginning. In addition to, you know, never launching. That would have been nice, thanks.

Black Prophecy, an upcoming space-themed MMO recently gained a publisher, gamigo, for global distribution and and publishing rights. Specializing in F2P MMOs, the publisher subsequently also announced that the game will follow a free-to-play model from launch.

Here is a direct quote from the press release:

“A lot has happened in the development of Black Prophecy in the past few weeks. The biggest change has been the new direction as a free-to-play online game, previously unheard of for a game of this quality. Among other things, a crafting system was added and the layout of the game world was opened up. In-game dialogue will be recorded by professional voice actors. The one-and-a-half hour long orchestral soundtrack provides a rich and varied score of background music.”
