title history?

[awdz]

Did not know where this fit, so tossed it in rants...?
Let's see if I have this straight...

I* began as HZ under AE (owned by AI) with EU support by GN.
When AEI owed too much, TG stepped in.
Then EI tried, GN gave up, HZ nearly died.
VI revived HZ as I* and rezzed EU characters.

Did I get that right, and has VI now been the longest post-launch owner of the game?

Well now isn't that an interesting question.

I actually had to ask "the boss", and his answer was "You know, she's right! Wow!".

So yeah us, I guess, huh?

I started during Tulga rule and from what I see here it seems right... Although concerning GN... They used Hz EU server(s) only as easy money mule way before EI took over so basicly GN had given up providing normal service during Tulga ownership.

AE, TG, GN, EI, PME, NGW(?), VI....... is Istaria trying to break the record for the game owned by most letters in the alphabet hehe? ^^ Joking, just joking.

*Raises mug* May this game live on for generations and be cared for properly by it owners.

It sounds like floccinaucinihilipilification.

[LOVWYRM]

Did not we have EII too?

That reminds me to a nice poem, Justa wrote about all this- unfortunately I could not find it anymore.

[Takora Drakan]

Lol Lov, how we EU players have EI when our shard was nuked shortly after the takeover?

[C`gan]

Yes, they were Entertainment Interactive (EI), then they changed themselves to EI Interactive (EII). When things started going bad due to billing issues and lawsuits, they rewrote themselves as Pixel Magic Entertainment (PME). Then when they got into trouble with that carryover and tried to move into Nevada, they reorganized to New Game World (NGW).

That's why I refer to that whole mess as EI/PME/NGW in reference. The same people, the same positions, the same clueless operation.

Then the three men showed up (Vir Trium). And yet, they don't understand the concept of a triumvirate?
