A New Chapter
-
Hi all!
After a good month of teasing, we’re thrilled to announce that Fractured Online is being taken over by a new studio: Happy Cauldron Games (HCG)!
The news have dropped!
-
Super Excited to see TaNaHaRa and HCG take over the project and see some of the Dev's working with them going forward. I know great things will come in time and look forward to seeing all the wonderful changes in store over the coming year. Cheers!

Good news:
More money, game not abandoned. Yay!!!Bad news:
Need months of coding to get back end done.
New content unlikely until then?Big question:
Will we expect a wipe/new server once the back end is done?If wipe/new server, ok, how will you address the current players?
If no wipe/new server, ok, how will you address new players?
In either case a clear answer needs to be decided on and shared with the community well before it becomes a reality.
Personally I would go with a static world/continent that is made for guild v guild pvp : towns, forts, contestable world summons, etc. where all the old accounts can be and flex their maxed orb artefact builds.
Then have new world/continents every 2 months with new and exciting rule sets/mobs/resources which players can explore, harvest, and fight over. To get into the new world/continent you have to make a new character and at the end of the 2 months you can take a stargate to the static world to show off the cool stuff that you got from the new world.
With this system you would not even have to make new continents, just use the old ones and mix up the mobs/resources/rulesets.Any way.
Good news and glad to hear it.
But need more info.

Nobody believes in the big leap anymore. For years the players were kept waiting with empty promises. It's almost bordering on fraud to lure players with VIP Life subscriptions.
-
Big promises but small deliverables.
I bought your eternal account before the open beta start and until today, i cannot even enjoy your game a single time.
I raised issues to you, instead of addressing it, you asked me to look for alternatives to fix myself.
You are turning your cash cows away. And I have to thank you for helping me to save my money.
-
Sorry you had to sell you baby but you have had a lot of learning to take to your next project. This is a new chapter for you and fractured. That said. to the new devs, can we get the dagger and assassination skills to feel more back stabby, flack stabby sneak stabby low health stabby? I need more sleep...

@currycrab What? Hey, forget about that. Let us look forward to a new game. Gonna be fun to hope. Lets believe in magic.
-
I look forward to see what the new team and ownership will bring to Fractured.
-
@Tangus absolutely borderline fraud. We Kickstart backers got taken for a serious ride. Complete waist of money. And i had the immortal package. I feel bad for people who spent even more than that.
-
@currycrab yep they've been screwing us Kickstart backers for what? The better part of 7 years now? 8? Yeah we got taken for a ride. And ripped off.

@currycrab & @Jester2189 Hey hey both of you, Duncan from Happy Cauldron Games here. I am the studio head and game director for Fractured Online now.
I completely understand where both of you are coming from as I have backed plenty of projects on Kickstarter.
While we are relaunching the game and redesigning my elements of Fractured Online with the community another area we are focused has been creating the missing rewards for these Kickstarter tiers and founder packs.
I encourage you to follow our developer updates. In these I have updated the plan for these rewards.
We have completed the concept phase of all skins/armors and have almost 3 of those game ready in addition to the 1st kickstarter pet nearing game ready state.
I have personally invested my own money into this project and continue to do so because of two reasons.
- Fractured Online has promise, as a I player & game developer, I could see the bones of a solid game with big changes we will make this a reality.
- As a player of too many mmorpgs, backer of many projects that also died, I want to change that story here.
I am working to improve our communication, website, email updates and how we communicate with backers. The best way to ask questions and provide feedback is on our discord.
Also feel free to message me on discord or contactus@happycauldrongames.com
I truly appreciate your support even if it was 7 years ago even before Happy Cauldron Games took Fractured Online over.
