Thanks for watching guys, 's been a pleasure

We're talking about completely new game editions there, that would qualify as us making a new BF game which we do not. Card editions are a possibility though! I've edited the topic accordingly

Update: We are no longer part of Ardent Peak. Due to differences in interest and vision of the direction of the project, we have since parted on good terms from Ardent Peak and gone our own way. Update from Ultrakool: Due to this separation and other circumstances most of the information given in this thread is now outdated. Greetings Skylords, Skyladies, and Skyfolks! It's been a while since our last major announcement. However, since yesterday there has been some extremely big news. Now, we have been in touch with a friend of Blank, who owns an American Business called Ardent Peak. He managed to actually get in touch with Electronic Arts and have a talk with them regarding BattleForge. This means that, after a correspondence with EA we are now allowed to run our project provided that we adhere to specific guidelines and do not claim we are affiliated with them. We will be developing the project under the company Ardent Peak.This is absolutely great news as we will have next to no complications with EA about the project are allowed to develop it freely. If they have any issues with what they are doing they will contact the owner of Ardent Peak rather than send us shutdown notices. Skylords Reborn will be the name of a new custom server for the game BattleForge, originally developed by EA Phenomic, now hosted by Ardent Peak. Electronic Arts allowed us to run this project, through Ardent Peak, permission to set up a server for the game (resources not provided). Skylords Reborn is now identified as a 100% legal project under an official business. Ardent peak holds official responsibility and ownership of the project but the existing hierarchy remains the same under that; Blank and Hawk are founders, and them and I remain administrators/bosses of the project. I remain community manager and lead designer as well, and every other staff member retains their role as it was. We have also been allowed to alter the BattleForge client to our desires, on a few conditions: We are to remove EA's logo and name from our project, as Skylords Reborn is not affiliated with EA. We will be referring to Phenomic as the original developers of BattleForge. We are not to release any paid DLC or paid updates for the game. We ARE allowed to commercialise the game to the extent that we are allowed to gain money for the project, and this opens up quite some future opportunities. We will never be making the game Pay2Win or Pay2Play. We'll be able to alter the server in such a way to release additional content but NOT completely new versions or new game editions, as that would fall under the DLC/Updates part mentioned above. New card editions and maps are a possibility, however! Remember though, we are still currently focused on getting the game up to its original state first and foremost. We are considering upping the marketing aspect of our project, which may result in possible advertising and/or kickstarter projects. We will be cranking up development a lot, in order to get the game to you guys as soon as we can. We are in touch with EA in case there are any questions and issues. We will be thinking about all these decisions carefully and further news will follow in the future. Donations are now up again and properly referred to Ardent Peak Future possibilities for the game are aplenty! We are all really excited to bring you this news and it creates a whole new, brighter and closer future for the entire Skylords Reborn project, and it has caused massive new opportunities to arise for us. We're heading in the right direction and we hope to be bringing you all into the forge as soon as we can. Know that aside from the aforementioned list, the project and its directions stay the same, and I will be updating the FAQ accordingly once further decisions have been considered. Finally, I would like to add a message from Ardent Peak: Thank you all, mighty Skylords, for your continued support in our endeavours. Keep the hype up, stay awesome, and we hope to be carrying this community into a bright, opportunity-filled future, but most importantly... into the Forge! We're all in this together and we'd be nowhere without you guys, so thanks again for all your support, keep it up and we will open the gateway to Nyn once more, united as one!

Greetings Skylords, Skyladies and Skyfolks! On Saturday the 11th of February (upcoming Saturday) at 3 PM CET we will be hosting an official stream on https://www.twitch.tv/skylordsreborn You can find a countdown right here if you're hyped: COUNTDOWN The contents of the stream will be very important! We won't tell you exactly what will happen, but we've got a really important announcement to make, so stay tuned and stay hyped. We'll also be answering questions to the extent we can as usual. We're looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow, Skylords! ~MrXLink

This thread also came back again. Let's stop that. /closed

Topic has been reopened as the conflict has seemingly been resolved. Please stick to the forum rules and have a nice, appropriate and on-topic discussion everyone. /opened.

/closed due to severe rule-breaking and conflict

7/10 - That was surprisingly nice. The vocals in the end sort of ruined it for me though, so that's why it's not higher. Was quite nice without the vocals, should've left it that way. Not expecting high ratings for this one but darn have I been listening to this a lot lately.

Oh boy. I think that this strangely enough has to be the most memorable boss fight I have had in any game, and on top of that also one of the most difficult ones. This is Kurt Zisa, an optional boss in Agrabah, in Kingdom Hearts 1. What makes it so memorable and awesome is the way this boss messes you up. It drags you out of every single comfort zone and makes the battle incredibly challenging by stripping you from all your magical attacks and abilities, while dealing absolutely devastating blows that you can not conventionally heal in any way. On top of that, it also has the capability to neutralise all physical damage that you do, making this boss battle a matter of skill and challenge. Hard to hit, a pain to avoid, challenging abilities and a health pool to scream at. While it's definitely not the hardest boss in the game or the game series, I found Kurt Zisa to be the most memorable and tough boss that doesn't rely solely on your timing and/or QTE's like most insanely hard KH bosses nowadays (Dragon Maleficent making a close second). Phantom was also a decent one, but way too straightforward. Plus, doesn't Kurt Zisa look totally epic and threatening?

Oh dear.

We are not making a public announcement (yet) because there's no sure way whether we need one in the current circumstances. Regardless, donations will be open again as soon as it's possible for the owners. Have some patience and we'll let you know when it's possible again.

I'm going to lock this thread as we currently have some form of manager when necessary. I might reopen it if the situation asks for it.

What if I told you teal is a colour I feel closer to and maybe reflects me even better @SpiritOfTheAbyss

if captivating means burning it in your retinas... then I guess no

Skylords, Skyladies, Skyfolks, Just a quick and silly update here. I've been receiving some messages from people who think my forum name is either burning their eyes or hard to read compared to the rest of staff. I know, I know, details and bragging and whatnot, but I don't want my name to be that much an eyesore to people and therefore, as suggested by @Kiwi I propose my name to now be in a way better colour, teal. It'd mean that instead of MrXLink I will be MrXLink. Simple question for you guys, do you consider the latter to be more readable and to look better? Is it a better sight than the blue I used to have? Opinions are much appreciated. Of course I'll change the rules and maybe my badge accordingly, but what do you guys think?

You know, it will only be official/canon once we reach 69%

I have given neither of you two warning points because it isn't that big a deal, and the original purpose of this thread is still no reason to judge staff in general about it. Sometimes you can reason why a post gets deleted and if you don't then do go ahead and PM me. I think this has gone on long enough for now, I'm closing this thread down.

Speaking of being a good boy, good boys stick to one account per user... Unless of course you think exceptions apply. I've told you what to do in that case.

Yup, everything @Kiwi said applies too, nice summary. It takes a lot for me to ban someone, but if they push it they get what they should.

Not just something, much more than that. Again; his ban has nothing to do with this thread or the Unison League thread.

I have no problem with you revealing this here if it needs to be discussed. Let me point out, however, that he did not get banned for anything whatsoever to do with this thread, nor the Unison League thread. It had to do with repeated insulting, not a language breach.

First of all, if you have a problem with one of your posts being deleted, try checking the forum rules. If you then still don't get why that would be against the rules, discuss matters in PM. This is also written in the forum rules. Publicly denouncing and insulting people is also against the rules, which you have done on multiple occasions. Since you opened this thread anyway I might as well tell you that the measures I took have not been given a warning for and were considered to not be repeated. I am quite lenient when it comes to language posts and even for someone who's been pointed at the forum rules multiple times now I still don't hand out drastic measures for this whatsoever. What you are doing right here is not only wrong judgement as your posts were against the rules in general, but you are additionally publicly discussing moderation matters and thereby denouncing and infringing forum rules yet again. I have told you to abide by the rules several times, you didn't, and so you have to face the consequences. I have not much else to say about this matter. Let me remind you that you decided to open this and I'll see you some other time if you care. Tah-ra.
