Acclaim is officially gone. Not even there home page works.

[thugzy]

the forums/threads/posts have all been wiped out... 5 years of history just like *that*

and that's why im lurking here

[GavinGill]

I was hoping the forums would stay up, I liked going through old threads every once in a while. =/

Hai thar Thugzy, BvB later? :0

sorry gav, i won't be playing for at least another 3 months after my final high school exams.. but i'd very much like to play BOTS!/BC one day again



how does this game work? do i have to sign up for a membership to play?

[GavinGill]

I have the links for a couple posts with mods I wanted but I never got around to DLing them. I wanted to make a BOTS!! Graveyard on here too linking names to forum profiles. Oh well. :[

@ thugzy: Nah, its free. Membership just gets you a couple extra benefits.

If you want to still linger on the old forums, you can type some specifications into Google and then, when the link appears, click "cached". In this sense, the forums still are alive and well (sorta D:).

Sad day .

Hit and miss really...I can't find what I need D:.

Bots was raking in the dough from all the coins we bought .

[Rossbach]

It is not just BOTS!! Look here http://www.acclaim.com/

"We regret to inform you that all Acclaim games will no longer be in service effective August 26, 2010"

[thugzy]

Hai thugzy. Long time no see.

[darkblue]

Hai thugzy. Long time no see.

Oh well. Times change and things change with time. So it was inevitable that acclaim would come to an end.

Only important ones were SaLaNoS' and a couple others.

ya ofc D; But good time's. It was worth

Got those...and some stoofz...

BOTS costed thousands of dollars per month.
I say gg Acclaim, 5,000$ x12 = 60,000$ lost in the past year estimated if noone bought coins, though this isn't the case.

Not saying we forced Acclaim to go bankrupt, but it's surely a possibility.

[lugiaXDG009]

have you all realized they aren't called acclaim anymore right
they probably have a new site under their dumb new name whatever that was
so try searching for that, if it exists then their other games (except bots) should be there

[redeyes2]

playdom is cool. I like there games much better than acclaims. they might take over 2moons and 9dragons once they get everything settled and they might even take pony stars

dno where you pulled the $5000 figure from.. but even then lol at your comment afterwards. A hypothetical $60,000 loss for a company like Acclaim would not send them anywhere near bankrupt.. that i can guarantee you. Such money is worth peanuts in today's scheme of things

oh and hey there ross

[Kevin]

Oh hey thug

And It's no where close to how much Blizzard is worth. O_o

Blizzard = $1.7 billion a year is gross profits = $510 Million profit.

^ I lol'd

I do wonder what made Acclaim go bankrupt after all...

[redeyes2]

the firsttime they went bankrupt was cause they spent too muh money on cocaine.

[firejetsam]

Why is there redeyes2 instead of RedEyes?

On-topic : Will post links to all the mods that I got off BOTS!! forums eventually...
whenever I'm done with making mods for awhile I might...

[zomniethe4]

Lot's of 2moons private servers are up so im guessing theres gonna be a war

[Kevin]

Well if Boutcheetah SOMEHOW got the rights to this game. I believe staff members would get paid. *cough* *cough* wait what??


To bad we most likely won't. :/

[redeyes2]

There is no chance in getting the legal rights to bots, but its not like they're going to do anything now.
