Frogster becomes Gameforge

Dear Community.

After two years full of intensive cooperation, Gameforge and Frogster have successfully established cross-locational structures between their Berlin and Karlsruhe offices in almost all areas. This has been proven to be a very good basis for our common success! Hence, we are taking the next step of the integration of Frogster into the Gameforge Group. The Frogster Interactive Pictures AG will be renamed to “Gameforge Berlin AG” according to a decision of its shareholders at their annual meeting today. The Frogster Online Gaming GmbH, which carries out Frogster’s operations in Europe, will simultaneously be fully integrated into “Gameforge Berlin AG” through a merger. Frogster America Inc. and Frogster Pacific GmbH will be renamed to Gameforge America Inc. and Gameforge Pacific GmbH respectively.

Together with Gameforge we operate a portfolio of 19 online games and therefore are the leading publishers of MMOGs in the western market.

With that many titles and many more coming, working under one name will allow much easier communication and navigation of our products – both existing and upcoming. This will result in increased resources for the administration and further development of our systems, as well as for graphics, web, and video production; and to offer you, our valued players, even better services, be it Community Management or Customer Support!

What about you and your favorite game?

In the near future, you will notice the adaption of Gameforge logos instead of Frogster on our websites. All games will soon be additionally featured on the Gameforge portal for easier access and overview while continuing to offer a core website for each game.

And that’s it.

Your forum, website, social media channels and especially your games will stay completely the same. The teams sitting behind your game have not changed either and will continue to offer you the best possible user experience… and beyond!

The renaming process is anticipated to occur in late July or in August 2012. Until then, all company units will operate under the current corporate names.

Of course we’d be delighted to have your feedback, thoughts and opinions and discuss them with our Community Managers on our forum.

Quick! Pick up the torches and pitchforks!

I am curious about what impact this will have on the customers in the near-future. Will customers benefit from the change in any way? Or from what I understood, the change has been there for a long time just not the name?

Will it affect to the unblocking of the countries? or it will be the same politics ?

oh my word. kek

Yup, you seem to understand the situation pretty well. Basically, we have been working as an integrated part of Gameforge for quite some time now. There will of course be slight improvements over time, but that's more of an internal thing than anything else. The only real difference from a player's perspective is that the name Gameforge will replace Frogster, and what were previously referred to as Frogster's titles, will now be advertised on Gameforge's portal, which is great for everyone :). Everything else will remain the same :).

No, those restrictions will remain the same.

it's a shame nothing else changes, other than the name.

Which mean we will continue to pay for half a game of what NA run: no nexus, no pvp, lag, chrashing dungeons and servers, bugged crafting and no crafter quest's. No info on patches, then again: no patches need no info....

Yep. For example I didn't get legacy items yet and there is lor of more problems. Time to cancel this game. Sorry Frogster, but you don't deserve customers.

Does this mean that communication within and from frogster will improve? Because for Teras sake, I sure hope so.

It all comes together now. GF, they're the ones that "ruined" Aion with their bad customer service.
They're working in 3.0 localization for "years".
Also this means that TERA will be F2P for sure.

I hope I'm so wrong!!!

LAWL....bet your bottom dollar... it will go F2P b4 the end of the year...watch and see. I left Aion over their bs game management and will do so with tera as well...might even just cancel my sub b4 the 12th when it needs renewing. Not going through this same bs I went through with Aion...no sir.

Don't care unless your attitude towards Tera changes.
