Is the livestream in 2 weeks even still happening? Was the letter posted the other day posted with these changes in mind or are things different now?

Was steam a last ditch effort to get money?

Okay so be honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently, by looking this matter objectively while trying to make it clear, and by considering each and every one's opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.

Not buying it, they just did a big stress test and like 2 days ago they posted an announcement for new dev update and all. Don't believe this shit comes out of nowhere.

[sharp ember]

Tempting

[zenith jewel]

@half pilot I will follow whatever game you end up working on, and I truly hope you find your feet and land somewhere that works out

Thank you for all your hard work

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more like Alpha 2 as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that Node System? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like the release date. It’s just common sense. Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like Verra? Because when you go into the freehold and you do want look more like the caravan PvP but you can't really be far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like the corruption system, then what is the point of the Unreal Engine 5? You go want to do look more like the Tulnar, but you can't do look more like the Tank Cleric meta because Steven Sharif has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It is just plain and simple. When you go want to do look more like the castle siege, you've really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like the monthly update livestream.

[oblique gorge]

i dont think it was a scam. was a fun game and good idea. just not mcuch nterest for this type of game. were never getting a good sandbox pvp mmo

[frigid star]

You work an actual shift and yet you don't receive anything? Not even in-game benefits? Shame! You can't even put it on your resume, can you?

[lean garden]

"I'm a modewator, wespect me"

[gaunt iron]

Steven rugged???

[topaz torrent]

It was crisp yesterday, not like anything I can remember.

[worthy herald]

I think that he was purposely trying to sink the game with the thousand mats needed to craft things so that he wouldn't have to resign like this.

[haughty pelican]

I WANT MY MONEY BACK NOW STEVE DONT YOU GO PUTTING IT INTO MANGO JUICE, MANGO GROWING OR ANY MANGO RELATED PRODUCTS NOW YOU HEAR ME , JUST REFUND US AND NON OF THAT MANGO NONSENSE YOU HEAR YOU CAN REDEEM YOURSELF WITHOUT MANGO BASED PRODUCTS

[elder holly]

<@&542059693779058748> Before every other member here spams their own theory about that is going on, perhaps close it down and add a 10 min cooldown overall. Right now quite a large amount of people are pouring gas on flames for no reason but to gloat.

[wraith geyser]

Thanks for trying, devs. Thanks for trying marg.

[void warren]

i thought they could just pay 60% salary for a few months to bypass warn

[spice burrow]

Actual rug pool scam

[compact wigeon]

Guys please slow down, all this chatting is heating my laptop up

[winter root]

Our Steven, who art wherever you wandered off to,
Hallowed be thy name (though we do question it sometimes).
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
Eventually… on your own schedule.

Give us this day our daily patience,
And forgive us our eye-rolls,
As we forgive Steven for being late again.

Lead us not into group projects with you,
But deliver us from your “I’ve got this” energy.

For thine is the confidence,
And the confusion,
And the audacity,
Forever and ever.

Amen.

[sharp ember]

[covert jolt]

if they sell the game and someone took over . they are not gonna refund you. they will tell you play the game or F off.

[dim plover]

We know it was you doing it, Zara. You can't fool us.

[dapper fjord]

No mods? waits for the gamer words

[queen eagle]

Only 10 minutes? make it 20min 🫃

[timber pulsar]

I stopped investing several years ago because I felt a day like today would arrive. I've long cut my losses, but if I get a refund then great... just not going to get my hopes up.

[shadow robin]

<@&542059693779058748> just fyi asmongold is talking about this on stream at the moment

Well… this chapter has come to a close.

My time at Intrepid Studios has officially ended.

To the Ashes of Creation community - you are some of the most passionate, dedicated players I’ve ever seen in this industry. I genuinely wish I could have done more for you. I gave everything I had, and did my very best with what was within my power. And I ask one last favor of you, please be kind to the developers, we are people who have families who have just lost our jobs after pouring our hearts and souls into Ashes of Creation.

To my incredible Game Services team - you are an absolute AAA team. Talented, kind, collaborative, and just genuinely good people. I’d take each of you with me on any project, any day. I care so deeply for all of you, and I know our bond is one I’ll carry forever. I’ll never forget our time together and you know where to find me if you need anything. Always.

As for how this all ended… I don’t really have the words. It wasn’t what I expected. But I’m holding onto the good because there was so much of it.

With that, I’m officially looking for new opportunities.

If you know of any leadership or director-level roles in narrative, community, marketing, or social, I’d be grateful for any leads or connections. 💕

Has anyone ever had a bigger "Fuck you I was right" moment than Narc?

To all the people I said were dumb for calling this the MMO Star Citizen, I'm sorry.

[worthy herald]

You don't they are broke! Releasing on steam, the outfits and mounts was all a scam.

[prime rapids]

Its been fun everyone

[sonic hatch]

I think calling the Steam EA a launch is what they are doing

[hushed mica]

[junior falcon]

The news is a lie right?

[fair palm]

[fallen girder]

[lone harness]

[indigo tapir]

Where we gonna go next, guys? We got a plan as a community? WoW? XIV? Maybe some Dragonwilds?

[plucky harness]

[earnest bloom]

[pastel solstice]

ANY QUESTIONS?

NO KORE NDA

[wooden furnace]

You guys are all overreacting, Steven confirmed the game was funded untill launche.

[gilded matrix]

Imagine paying to play this game and actually celebrating someone elses failing. Alot of disguting people here. Hope all the staff land on their feet.

[spring totem]

Narc was right.

@half pilot thank you for all the work you've done. I appreciate it, as I know most of this community does.

Heartbroken but not surprised.

I hope someone from the team can close this chapter in announcements for us.

[strong falcon]

Maybe if the game was bought by another company

[odd wing]

[rugged ridge]

Due to issues, we're reverting the game

[dapper fjord]

[wraith geyser]

[last agate]

The company that you signed an NDA with no longer exists / is about to no longer exist, so...

[dense portal]

NARC WAS RIGHT GUYS

[manic bramble]

WYPE HYPE

[vapid condor]

Ubisoft buyed Intrepid

[indigo tapir]

on steam you can only refund within 2 weeks of purchase so long as you have under 2 hours playtime, so no, i doubt it.

[pastel solstice]

nah just kiddin

i’ll see yall next livestream

[wooden furnace]

Who the fuck is going to enforce it

[thick slate]

ALL I KNOW IS POLAR IS THE GOOD GUYS ALL ALONG

[merry shale]

/

[spring totem]

So are kickstarter backers getting a refund?

[compact summit]

proof.

[granite snow]

unironically, if they did BDO Unchained, I'd be down

[pale schooner]

Fucking dump it, do it

[vivid delta]

[edgy sandal]

SO ASHES IS OVER?

[tough sable]

EVERYONE UPDATE YOUR STEAM REVIEW. BURN IT DOWN

[rich berry]

[urban smelt]

You ain’t looking on the bright side

At least we ain’t getting another wipe

Just a cheeky Alt F4

[sharp ermine]

On the bright side we all just gained some hard drive space!!

[errant lava]

IS IT TRUE??

[teal talon]

Just because it says everyone doesn't literally mean everyone... lmao why not wait and see you all acting like tweakers.

[winter root]

who's gonna sue you? stevens ghost?

[left radish]

CANT WAIT FOR NARC TO MAKE HIS GREAT RETURN

[split garden]

[old bridge]

Lost New World and Ashes before GTA 6

[drowsy coyote]

this is hilarious

[wispy beacon]

will steam give me a refund?!

[queen topaz]

I have a theory on what happened
Might be complotist a little bit but hear me out
They invented a ground breaking technology that bans bots, it detectes Steven Shariff as a bot player and he got banned from his own game.

[grand flume]

Guys, stop being mean, trolling, hyping this...
Steven and all from Intrepid deserve better, they tried, they invested themselves.

Can you people show some humanity and empathy?
Seriously.

[zealous stump]

are we done guys?

[full cedar]

Unfortunately looks like it's over. Margaret's made a post on LinkedIn confirming it.

[sleek linden]

Any game 10 years in the making w/o a monetization strategy or release date is doomed, this is a long time coming

[odd wing]

noe cause they launched on steam..

[fathom crow]

IN NARC WE TRUST, never shall I doubt you again!!!!!!!!!

[minor flare]

Someone get Hypixel simon over here to save the project!!!!!!!!

[blissful flax]

[uncut pilot]

Lol, what they gonna do? Take away your statue in the non existent game.

[glad kestrel]

@half pilot you are the goat

[hollow stag]

There is no one left to answer your question. You are likely getting auto moderated.

[fathom echo]

check on ur nearest Pheonix Initative

[timber lava]

@vague leaf

[river raptor]

W PTR LAST NIGHT GUYS IT WAS A INSANE, WHEN'S NEXT?

[grand kettle]

its all over. Scammed us all with the steam release to get as much money as possible. Steam should refund all of us but they wont

[modest sand]

What the fuck was the purpose of the PTR?! No beetle 🙁

[autumn frigate]

OMG, MY STATUE WILL NOT BE BUILT

[crystal belfry]

sue a company that ceases to exist. I'm sure there's a ton of money in that

[fallen girder]

ashes was brought up in my bests mans speech at my wedding :/

[pale schooner]

What's the juiciest PI leak you got

[granite snow]

WARN has to be filed 60 days in advance. Today is t he 1st of Feb. Do the math. Steam Release was a rug pull

[loud gyro]

Do I still get to name my NPC?

[maiden willow]

Well damn

[rocky quartz]

SO WE'RE NOT GETTING THE BEETLE?

[kind ravine]

asking about refunds when 200+ ppl just lost their jobs

[topaz torrent]

@clear sky Can’t help if they declare bankruptcy GL though 🤣🤣

[versed spire]

[exotic flint]

the next game guys tell to us

[mighty tinsel]

There hasn't been a WARN filing

[cyan quail]

Biggest waste of $120 I ever spent.

[clear crown]

Can’t trust you. You kept Naru around

[uncut rampart]

They make exceptions to that and they make exceptions with games that have server issues or other major issues. I kinda doubt anyones getting refunds either way.

[stray dragon]

The engineers are legit laughing having milked that shit for so long

[limber otter]

i'll never be able to finally make my legendary Ars Incantaris 😭 lmao

[sterile nymph]

The beetle was a test to see how many people would actually show up

[onyx pawn]

Game is dead, Polar was probably involved

[trail pendant]

lol

[noble sentinel]

WARN doesn't apply for "faltering businesses"

[frosty dirge]

anybody asking for refunds are hard coping if they went bankrupt we wont see a cent

[teal talon]

Any game released in 5 years has failed XD doesn't matter if he is still making money and bringing it in. No where does that msg say its closing lmao. You all trippin over one msg lmao.

[indigo tapir]

@vague leaf Thanks for trying. MMOs are damn near impossible to make, was a good effort to all the AoC team.

[dreamy narwhal]

MANGO MAN GONNA HAVE TO REFUND US NON STEAM BOYS OTHERWISE HES GONNA GET THE CLASS ACTION KNOW WHAT I MEAN

[stone cedar]

@manic musk @kind prism so now how you 2 idiots feel ?

[torpid rain]

AAHHAH

[devout schooner]

I hope some type of class action is brought against you personally Steven for throwing this shit pile of a game on steam knowing you were rug pulling.

[granite snow]

They literally mention it in the internal filing to all employees. The filing itself is due to them following WARN regulations.

[finite raft]

wont be able to ragebait HoU again? 🥺

[river grail]

Honestly I had so much fun on this game it completely appealed to the player and not to the shareholder and i knew it would shut down eventaully cause 25,000 ppl online at once is like 1/8 of what OSRS gets and yeah thanks for trying yall

[worldly edge]

So the game is cooked now? LMAO

[final field]

laughs in Camelot Unchained 🤭

[rich vessel]

rip

[mental rover]

No way they monitor this chat now! Fucking he’ll ya. Go crazy bitches

[weak solstice]

[ornate flower]

I do hope someone swipes the source code if nothing else

[minor flare]

@half pilot if this is actually real news to any extent, i know ur time is coming to a close but someones got to get a head of this lol

[hasty vapor]

[red crane]

Selling embers for cheap, get them while stocks last

[wraith geyser]

[cedar stirrup]

[undone dawn]

[mighty tinsel]

That specific bit is fully unconfirmed, and California has no WARN notice on record for intrepid.

[visual field]

[hexed pawn]

People talking about WARN - real the full law.

[tall thistle]

[dapper fjord]

Imagine being ingame right now and having no clue what’s going on LOL

[pale schooner]

⁨<@&542059693779058748>⁩ Brother the city is burning, it's time to give it up and stop trying to moderate it. Open the PI chats, remove slowmode, remove the block on images

[noble dome]

intrepid devs are so incompetent, it will be hard too fiind any +- job

[noble sentinel]

I hear Steven resigned citing conflicts with the board at Intrepid.

[zenith jewel]

My friend - Everybody

Everybody at Intrepid

[teal talon]

Didnt they fire everyone last year and everyone did this same thing? XD

[unique spruce]

I don't believe these cheap rumours that it's over but even if it was I got my money's worth, people calling out 'game dead' and 'scam' lmao.

[rich berry]

remember earlier in the morning when the copers were saying everything is fine

[plucky garnet]

So is the game just done then?

[supple pebble]

[sharp ember]

Nope.

[charred owl]

Hahaha

[novel spruce]

We should of known this was gonna happen when it took a month to fix getting into your storage lol

[heavy kraken]

Maybe now intrepid will admit to selling gold xD

[celest scaffold]

Should we start requesting refunds is the correct answer here?

[proud delta]

[cosmic saffron]

The Layoffs effected everyone.

[worldly edge]

Wait, has Steven resigned? Is that also confirmed or still a rumor?

[rotund swift]

So, no bug mount?

[vague girder]

So, no free scarab mount is what I am hearing...

[charred umbra]
