News? Nope.

It's been a while, but nothing new to post. I'm thinking about starting a Blitz 2 wiki article since some asshat set the Blitz 1941 one for deletion. News on the game will probably be pretty slow until December, I think we can expect some announcements then.

i've read few articles about the future of blitz2. blitz was developed by this small venture company called 'mowel'. while they were still testing it, they opened international server. that's when u all had chance to play this game for short priod of time. they officially opened the game through publisher called 'hangame' and maintained it for 2 years. when it was time to apart from hangame, mowel no longer had sole rights of blitz1. so they wanted to make new and better tank game. but they needed money. so mowel people went to dragonfly.com a publisher who were in deep shits of money problem as well. after staying with dragonfly for awhile, the development team from mowel is starting all over again. it may take a while but they will come back with better game. only this time, they realized how popular tank game is in international market. I heard they are developing blitz2 more toward world market rather than just for koreans. when more news is available, i'll update it here. -yoda-

I sent an e-mail to the developers a while back hoping to get some info about the game, this is what i got back from them:

Dear Kevin

First of all, thank you for your interest in our game and let me answer your questions.

Blitz1941 that was serviced in Haname is closed since last 20 December 2007 so that unfortunately you can’t play anymore.

At the present, we are developing the Blitz 2 that takes over Blitz1941’s good point and makes up for its weak points. Please wait a moment at great inconvenience.

For reference, even if you join the Korean Blitz2 homepage (http://www.blitz2.co.kr/), you can’t play the game at the present.

In addition, it isn’t decided yet whether we service in only Korea or worldwide.

We’ll do our best to service the game with good quality as much as many players in domestic and worldwide wait as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Kevin,

I've been wanting to email them but haven't got around to it.
Is it OK if I use that for a blog post? I assume it's from Mowelsoft?

Kevin Bauwens said...

Yeah sure, no problem at all!
After all, we all want as much info as possible, right? ^.^

The mail was sent to Dragonfly
I'll send Mowelsoft a mail tomorrow or something, just to see if they are still considering to get Blitz 2 international.

Kevin

ijji, is hangame here in the US, Hangame is the company that ran blitz1941 Korean server, I AM sure ijji would carry Blitz2 Global if it goes that way. As of now all ijji.com has are 1st person shooters and rpg's. Martens and I set up 5th SS Wiking there on some of the games, but there were so BORING to play, the clan just fizzled out. Surprisingly enough 5th SS Wiking lived on for a long time and became one of the top ranked clans in SPACE COWBOY ON LINE. 5th SS Wiking also lived on, on the Korean Blitz1941 Server, we even had 2 members (Pols and Charotte) reach General rank!
