Blades Of Virtue Interactive

Player Database Reset

ATTENTION ALL BoV MEMBERS:

It has come to my attention that, on more than one occasion and by more than one player, instances of player stealing, cheating, and other such misconduct now threaten the welfare and enjoyment of BoV.
Player misconducts, along with the database record corruption, player account problems, and problems with SysOp/Player interaction have made the following a long put off, but inevitable action.
To be respectful to all who play, a Deletion/Reset of ALL accounts will be issued. This is being done to askew the aforesaid problems, and to offset all instances of corruption and misconduct.
This is a long thought out decision, and one that I do not take lightly. I must apologize for the inconveniences that I am well aware this incurs to all members of BoV, be it Player or Staff.
At time of reset I will also be removing all Moderators, Developers, SysOps, and Admins. Again, due to problems with SysOp/Player interaction, this is unfortunately an inevitable occurrence.
This is going to take place at approximately 8:00pm PST on Wednesday the 20th of November. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and patronage through this difficult time of change.

BoV Goes Online Under The Ownership and Hosting of ChopStixs

Cancellation of BoV

Let me start off with a history lesson, many months ago Wuzzbent joined Nobis Productions. With him he brought Blades of Virtue. Blades of Virtue was to become a Nobis Productions product, and so it did. Since then we have hosted the server for the game, allowing the many fans and players easy access to the game. When Wuzzbent finished BoV, he kept the source code, and decided to no longer work on the game. This made it impossible for any other member of Nobis Productions to work on the game. But at the time, did not matter to us as we were under the impression we could get it by simply asking Wuzzbent. Over the time Wuzzbent decided it was best to leave Nobis Productions and began working on his own company, Wuzzware (http://www.wuzzware.com). When he left it was a clean cut, he was working on another project and left the source code and legal rights with us. Thus it was implied, and assumed once again that BoV which has been with us for quite a while was still ours. Then the shocker came a few months later. Wuzzbent wanted to sell the source code and rights of BoV to Nobis Productions. As a mutual feeling among all the premium members, we were rather outraged. With time, we cooled down, and decided that in soon time, BoV will be replaced. A short while from that decision, yet another message from Wuzzbent revealing that BoV has been sold to another party, RandomQ (http://www.ZoneZero.net), this again outraged us further. At that time negotiations were launched and communication with RandomQ began. RandomQ wanted to work on the game, and let the server remain in Nobis Productions. This option did not seem fair to the members of Nobis Productions. We would be using our resources to help a project/product which is no longer our property, and seemingly unjustly ripped. After deliberation it was decided that our server will no longer run, and the saved server data will not be given to the new party. This may seem like a lack of caring for our fanbase, but the decision was arrived at in protection of our fanbase. We are uncertain how the information will be used after it leaves our possession, the e-mail addresses could be sold to third parties, and the passwords unjustly misused. It is because of this concern and with a heavy heart the ruling was made. In short time, BoV will be removed from the Nobis Productions webpage entirely.

To discuss this situation further, feel free to visit our forums at:

Information concerning BoV�s final moments are:

Stopped Running: 10:59 Pacific Standard Time

And the final words muttered before the server went down was:

�[BoneCrush] - y don't they just change servers�

We hope that all this information is has been useful in understanding the situation, and has not detoured you from future gamming with Nobis Productions. We apologize for the inconvenience, but this decision was the most responsible.

BoV switches ownership

In case anyone has been hearing things regarding Blades of Virtue leaving Nobis Productions your concern is warranted. In the short past, Wuzzbent (the creator and rightful legal owner of the BoV source) has since sold the source code and rights of Blades of Virtue to RandomQ. What does this mean for Nobis Productions? That is a very good question, negotiations are currently underway and are hoped to be resolved in the short future.

Nice and new

Well, the Blades of Virtue server is back up. The computer is much faster and cleaner now after the format. It took a little longer than expected because I went out and bought a new 30gig Hard Drive and had to install it.

Stupid Windows

ARG!! This is my 3rd time writing this so its going to be short. The sucky OS named Windows is crashing every few minutes causing me to restart. Im going to format and start from scratch which means the Blades of Virtue server will be down tonight and maybe tomorrow.

Im sorry about this. Just blame Microsoft for making the buggiest software in the world! =)
