They probably don't want to spread the current community over all the servers, but instead use the Dutch server to get access to a new market. UnitedGames is already a popular game portal, providing a lot of games, which means there already are a lot of potential Regnum Online players. They aren't here, but somewhere else, where NGD couldn't have reached without help.

By the way, guess who's got the highest realm bonus on Tyr: Syrtis! Ignis second and Alsius nothing. Now that's a new world.

they could simply publicize horus on the UnitedGames portal... there was no need to open a new server to access that market

It was probably the choice of the publisher, the same stands for the free xim.

I saw at the war map that the first forts were captured, Samal by Alsius and Herbred by Ignis. Congrats Tyr-people!

I am annoyed... i was on horus in the 1st 3 hours... where is my xim? >.<

Congrats at the new translations of the website. Although it isn't complete yet the translations are clear and nice to read. I did notice that in the -yet untranslated- Quick Start chapter of the game guide the weapons used for the realms are still the old ones and not the ones showed in the realm selection menu.

I think this new server is totally unnecessary and uncalled for, Horus hasn't even reached enough population and with this you're basically taking away from Horus and it will grow even slower now. Not to mention that Ra is in decline according to some reports, even further splitting of the community is a bad move. Now we have 5 servers for RO, 2 of them are half empty (Niflheim and Horus), Ra is unplayable due to the enormous lags, dunno for Muspell and now this... You could've just arranged some bonus for dutch people that register over United and attract them in that way.

oh my god guys!

Tyr is part of an exclusive deal that we signed with United games for the Netherlands and Belgium. It required a new server as they want a full dutch speaking community and they seem to think that they can fill a whole server.
(the game is being translated by them to dutch also)
The free xim was their idea/request.... maybe its something we can do again for other servers that we hope to open in the future.

As I told you before, we are signing new MAJOR agreements with other players in the industry... Non exclusive deals that should have a big impact for Horus and what we hope, many more international/english servers.
This is just the first one that got activated.

Come on guys, please, stop complaining about commercial decisions that you don't know anything about. This is good news for us all, as more players means bigger plans for Regnum.

best regards,

I'm just wondering, why couldn't you give horus that kind of boost? Instead of boost horus got fatigue. +1

Some people have a bloody short memory, I seem to recall bonus xp on Horus more than once.

Besides, Horus has become a bit of a joke with all the melodramatics (maybe ngd should sell the rights to make a new soap opera, thus getting funds and improving the game further)
