Posted by: Kyek @ Apr 1 2009, 05:19 PM:D Amakna Games is not buying Imps Village Let me tell you a story I've been so crazy with work lately that it wasn't until about a month ago that I made to back to Imps with a slightly more regular visitation schedule. The mods knew I was around, but I wanted to get settled into things before I started digging into all the forum stuff again. But then Aza made a post about April Fools with a bunch of suggestions, and one of them was "pretend to be bought by Ankama." Comedy. Effing. Gold. So we ran with it, launched the master plan today, and oh god it was so much fun xD. We're locking all of the associated threads for it so everyone's posts are immortalized. No, we will not delete your posts to save you the embarrassment But this is what's really going on: My workload has eased up considerably, and I decided to wait until now to jump back into the forum because, seriously, that just made the joke 30 times more believable Credits to Garne for the images used (everything but the RIDICULOUSLY ANNOYING background tile xD), Tweak, Biku, Robbeh, and me for the crux of the dialog from the AnkamaŽ Games account, and all the mods for refining the idea and having some seriously epic online acting skills to pull it off Also, credits to everyone who figured out the joke and joined in to play along instead of feeling the unexplainable need to ruin the joke for everyone else. That's what made this REALLY rewarding. Way to be awesome Did you miss it? Here's a handy guide to go back over all the festivities: The main thread: http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80585 The NUMEROUS airport threads: http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80884 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80876 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80764 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80600 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80673 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80797 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80611 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80700 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80831 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80780 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80791 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80675 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80643 Other supporting threads: http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80743 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80783 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80707 http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80837 And to get a taste of what the webpage looked like, select "Ankama Village" from the drop-down at the bottom-left corner of every page. One more thanks for the mods and everyone who played along, everyone who let us ban them, quiv for impersonating CatO (as "Lockuar"!), Inoku for making himself everyone's favorite traitor (xD), Aza (Reine) for being a mod machine, and anyone I forgot --Ky (today's a bit of a busy day-- if you see some out-of-place images from the joke, they'll be cleared up soon

Howdy Imps,
As many of you are aware, I've been taking an extended leave from my Admin duties here at Imps. The reasons for this include changing interests, an increased focus on real-life work, and many time constraints. I apologize for my absence from the community. Recently I was approached by Ankama Games about the possibility of them purchasing Imps Village. This was a very obvious solution to all the problems I was having. Ankama Games' purchase of the site would allow me to leave it in good hands, while getting out from under the monthly bills. Naturally, I agreed, and I truly hope their vision for Imps Village allows this place to improve and flourish. I'll be staying on in an admin capacity just long enough to become acquainted with their new staff and get them used to the systems here. They have some very exciting upgrades in mind, so it shouldn't be long until you start seeing new graphics and forum-hosted events! I'm very pleased with their plans and hope you like them as much as I do. Following this post will be a statement from Ankama Games. As for my part, I'd like to thank everyone for a truly fantastic two and a half years. I couldn't have asked for a better time here Kyek

You read it right --
Imps is giving away 50 WAKFU BETA CODES! The staff has been pouring over the best way to give them out. I thought Ebay was by far our best option, but the other mods disagreed and said that we should just give them out to just our friends. So we met halfway, and decided to do a CRAPTON of mini-contests on Imps, and each of the winners will get a beta key! (yes, yes, ebay and the friends thing was a joke. Try to keep up.) The Contests This post will be edited each time we open up a new contest, and the new contest will be posted in this section. So keep checking, because some of the contests may only last a couple hours! Dates may not be accurate in all time zones -- check each contest for details. Limerick Contest - Ends Monday June 16 - http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=57999 Ready, Set #1 - Ends Friday June 13 - http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58082 Art Contest - Ends Wednesday June 18 - http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58220# Supporters' Lounge Contest - Ends Wednesday June 18 - http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58309 Stalk the Mods - Ends Thursday June 19 - http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58445 Word-Filter Hunt - Ends when all 5 words are found - http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.ph...=58881&st=0 Stalk the Mods #2 - Ends when all 10 mods have been caught - http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=59042 Requirements to Win Only Imps Village members in Good Standing are eligible to win. We define "in good standing" as anyone who's never been banned from Imps before, who only has one Imps account, and whose membership is not currently in question among the mods. You also must have a minimum postcount of 10 to win. We want to reward our members who actually take the initiative to post here and be part of the Imps community! If you're new or haven't posted enough yet, it's super super easy. You could try making a thread in The Imps Village Airport to introduce yourself, you could post a friendly welcome in others' threads in the Airport, you could join in a few games in our Fun and Games forum, or comment on some of the diverse threads in General Discussion. It doesn't take long to get 10 posts here! Limit 1 win per Imps Village member. Only one code per person-- sorry! If you've won once, please don't enter any future contests. How do I use codes? Due to the extremely large number of codes I'll be giving out, I'll be sending you a PM with just your code, if you win. As much as I'd like to write a personalized congratulations note for every winner, 50 is a lot of people to write notes to Once you get your code, go to http://game.wakfu.com/en/inscription-beta-test/ to enter it in and associate it with your Ankama Games account. In my experience, this doesn't work in Safari -- so mac users may want to try Firefox for this part. After that's done, you can proceed to http://game.wakfu.com/en/download.html and click to download the game. You'll have to log in with your Ankama Games username and password! Let the contests begin! :D

Alright, so I must admit up front, I'm doing this almost completely for selfish reasons ;-) As those of you who frequent that General Discussion forum know, I'm very seriously considering starting my own web business for allowing people to run dedicated game servers (No, not Dofus game servers -- this time I'm not joking!) for ridiculously cheap prices.
Before I go head-first into this, though, I need to know how the different systems I'll be offering will stand up to massive game traffic. And so, I'm hosting another Unreal Tournament 2004 event on NEW DATE: SATURDAY, MAY 24, AT 3PM GMT If you're bad with time zones, here's a quick breakdown: US West Coast: 8am (sorry D:) US Mountain Time: 9am US Central Time (MissMarie): 10am US East Coast: 11am England: 4pm ..and everyone else will have to figure it out from there. You'll only be able to participate if you have a copy of Unreal Tournament 2004. As nice as it would be if everyone could go out and buy it, that's just not reality here ;-). Those of you who have (or will have) downloaded versions of the game will still be able to connect. The server will be set up in such a way that it won't report you to Epic Games if your CD-Key isn't valid. This is a test, it isn't all just fun and games. I will require everyone who's playing to be on IRC, because I will be testing two to three different servers during this test and you all will need to be there to see what to connect to next. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to stop a game in the middle if I don't have to -- but just realize that there may be interruptions between games. I *need* to know what these boxes can handle. For details about my (possible) new startup company, information on how to get/install/update UT2004, and for future plans: Please visit my thread about it in General Discussion: http://www.impsvillage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=55946 IF YOU CAN MAKE IT: Please post to the thread I just linked and let me know! I want AT LEAST 12 people, but I would LOVE to have up to or beyond 32 if at all possible. Thanks everyone! |
