The dramatic history of Pangya

Just for the hell of it I decided to go to Ntreev Soft’s website to see the history of Pangya services and see the never-ending drama with this game. Continue reading “The dramatic history of Pangya”

Pangya Europe just can’t get a break!

So looks like Galaxy Games is closing shop on Pangya Europe as of 12/31. This means that Pangya Global (?) now is opening its doors to European players to migrate themselves back here. They’re even offering compensation for European players in good standing or to those who have spent money with GG. Although since Pangya was their only game, I have a feeling SGI just…ate them up like they did with Ntreev USA 😯 Continue reading “Pangya Europe just can’t get a break!”

Update on the honeybee fiasco.

Just checked the honeybee site (or what’s left of it) for the latest announcement. The good news is, the Starry Sky After Spring fandisk has not been canceled but instead has been postponed from 11/26 to a 12/10 release.

There’s no news regarding any of their 2011 scheduled releases because they are still investigating…hopefully we’ll still be able to see fandisks for the other seasons since Spring was adjusted for release.

Amazon Japan still lists it as 11/26. I hope anyone who pre-ordered from there is notified at least lol >_>

Ntreev devoured by SG Interactive

So Ntreev is no more! It’s been picked up by SG Interactive. I thought this was some Singapore company but after checking some stuff it looks like it’s the korean company Smilegate (which makes more sense.) SG Interactive might be the US branch. So far the only thing this company has going for them is some Chinese FPS game called Cross-Fire. Perhaps this will be similar to how Galaxy Games took over Pangya when GOA fell apart.

I guess ultimately my question is – will this be a good or bad move for Pangya? I couldn’t care less about Trickster or Grand-Chase but could it possibly be that maybe they will finally listen to the users? That they will improve Gacha rates and papel shop rates? That they will allow us to trade gacha items like GG did? That they will bring us more events and get us up to date with Japan? (SG’s site has English, Japanese and Chinese language links but they are inactive atm.)  Or will this create an even bigger wall between the player base and the management? Also since GOA and Ntreev are both out of the picture, will they maybe lift the Euro-ban?

I guess only time will tell… 😐

Pangya 6th Anniversary Visual Fanbook

I am so upset about this. It costs 1995Yen on Amazon.co.jp but to ship to North America its 3000 yen on top of that. 4995 yen is $61. What the hell. Ugh I hate Amazon and their brutal shipping and I can’t find this book available anywhere else. I suppose I could stop by the local Kinokuniya and ask them what it would cost to order the book from Japan. Maybe it would only be like $40 or so? But yea I’m not paying $61 for this….sigh…. ズゥゥ━━il||li (っω-`。)il||li━━ン
