Strange. Here's what the mmosite.com says:

"Heroes of Might and Magic Online is based on Heroes of Might and Magic III. Playing as a town owner, the player can raise armies inside his own town or in the wild. Through fighting monsters in the wild, they continuously improve their ability and gain necessary resources based on which they can level up their castles, recruit higher level creature and learn higher level magic.

TQ Digital have purchased the develop right of Heroes of Might and Magic Online from Ubisoft."

Here's hoping we'll get a better AI with the next expansion.If Ubi knows her fans she should consider it...

They might have bought it before Ubi acquired the rights, and they couldn't really put the name of a dead legal entity there so they wen't with the current owners.

And they also weren't given the rights to use Heroes FIVE artwork in it.

I haven't seen any contracts, so i can't really tell, can I. For all i know they were allowed to take anything from future projects too. Or they weren't allowed anything at all.

Or maybe the suprise is a lawsuit against Heroes Online.

Perhaps the surprise is a heroes film with real actors and stuff, Hallmark release only

Sometime ago, there was a rumor about Uwe Boll directing a movie based on the Might&Magic universe.

For God's sake NO! I would be hesitant anyway but not him!

Uwe Boll should be restricted from making a film set in the M&M universe... His skills as instructor are limited.

Vel, don't even think about starting that Heroes movie hoax again.

You have to admit, it was great.

People on the official forums were outraged for 5 days.

Obviously they're ignorant and foolish.

As for Uwe Boll, word on teh tubez is that Dungeon Siege might actualy not suck arse. It's prob bollocks, but what is the internetz for if not pr0n and silly rumors.

What, pray tell, is an 'expected' surprise?

ThunderTitan · Unread postby **ThunderTitan** » 07 Jan 2007, 03:30

One of those things everyone pretends to be suprised about... right before i shoot them in the face.
