http://www.virtualcitizenship.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=566Hello,
The bad news: yesterday, the Paris commerce tribunal ruled that Ryzom should go to Spiderweb, for 213.000? ($324.000) without giving us a chance to bid.
The good news: the liquidator has confirmed there has been a mistake during the procedure, he should have informed us. We can thus attack the decision, the liquidator is proposing to restart the procedure from scratch if we offer more.
The issue is that, right now, we don't have enough to make such an offer.
Details
At the end of last month, we received a mail from the second liquidator, telling us to reach the first liquidator; it meant the fight between the two liquidators was over or soon over. We thus sent an email and a mail to the liquidator, to warn him we would want to make an offer.
The procedure is then to wait to be contacted by the liquidator, who tells everyone when the offer should be sent. Aside from waiting, G?raud (the lawyer who follows the case for us) was contacting the liquidator directly, who was on holidays until yesterday. Thanks to Sashimi, we learned that the court audience just happened, and we had to make a deal with the liquidator to avoid being discarded.
The issue now: the offer we have to outbid is very high: we would have to offer at least 230-250K?, and Spiderweb (SpiderWeb International Limited, W1W 6NS Londres, 5th Floor 26-28 Hallam Street, not the American gaming studio) would have the opportunity to increase its bid, which is already too high given the current circumstances. There are no more employees, no servers, a large portion of the player base has already moved on to other games, and we don't know if we would be able to get the server data including the characters).
We are currently evaluating solutions, we have until tomorrow to have a great idea. If you have one, be sure to post it here.
вольное изложение:
- ликвидаторы договорились.
- 4-е марта: французский суд решил что Ryzom отходит некой компании SpiderWeb (Англия) за 213k ? (324k $). (прим.- SpiderWeb уже засвечивались как возможный покупатель на прошлой распродаже.)
- видимо 5-е марта: но т.к. VCA (Virtual Citizenship Association, Xavier), как возможный покупатель, не были поставлены в известность о торгах (вернее их представитель в суде в это время балдел в отпуске), то суд постановил, что если VCA предложат больше денег, до торги могут продолжиться и решение может быть изменено в пользу стороны назвавшей большую цену.
- сейчас у VCA примерно 230-250k ? чего может быть не достаточно для продолжения торгов.
- Xavier уже говорит о том, что и предложенные со стороны SpiderWeb 213k ? - это слишком много для проекта у которого: нет персонала, нет серверов, потеряна база игроков, и (что самое интересное - прим. переводчика) - неизвестно, удастся ли получить на руки данные серверной части игры включая базу существующих персонажей.
- продолжение следует.
