    People, pay attention to the signs. Pox 2.0 is inevitable. DOG just needs time and money to put things in place. Keep playing. Have fun. Spend your money. Pox 2.0 will come.

    Sony and SOE are different entities. Sony makes the PS4. SOE is a company that was owned by Sony.

    Sony owned soe, they are now different entities after Sony sold them because they weren't raking in the cash. Soe is who ran pox before, and is now daybreak games which has produced some terrible games.

    If Sony is working with the Owls that's even worse as before when soe ran the show they were all about numbers and producing more and more cash for low and behold SONY. Either way working with either company or anything involving Sony will turn out the same way, more expansions for more cash then pox being shut down again.

    Might as well get in bed with the devil.

    I have my own criticisms having worked for SOE, but you seem to have very little clue about how this works or what SOE did or did not do.

    Also, Sony is not SOE, as has been stated. And yes, Sony owned SOE, but SOE was fairly autonomous and over its lifetime made a ton of money for Sony. SOE was in the red for a long time before Sony gave up on it - and they never did try and change management. Only when SOE was sold was Smed finally ousted.

    Just glad someone (be it @Gnomes or Sokolov or whomever) got some upcoming future plans talk rolling with some details. The lack of details, I believe, was driving us nuts. I mean, we are still trying to find fire in the smoke but its good to know some actual details (be they vague or little) for a change.

    As a fan of the game (one of my favorites of that era), I very much appreciate your current avatar.



    Anyway, @DOG and @SONY: Good luck with your new project. I hope it goes well for you all.

    I know how frustrating it is as a player not to get information, and I try and say as much as I am allowed to, typically.

    You know how the Huntsman game says "Different languages coming soon"? If they don't offer me a position to translate it to German I'll be moderately miffed.

    Per say there is a Pox 2, which in your quote, it may be assumed you're confirming this assumption, but anyways, I'd like to pose a few questions;
    1. Will our runes be transferred to Pox 2.0?
    2. Is Pox 2.0 a completely recoded Poxnora, a different game, or an update on Poxnora itself?
    3. In question 2, the first and last parts are the same thing. Gotcha.
    4. Could you spare some vague or specific details on how Poxnora 2.0 would differ from the current Poxnora?
    5. What exactly are you planning on improving in Poxnora 2.0 that Poxnora currently has/doesn't have?
    6. How do you think this will affect the current player base? Are you hoping it'll increase it, or hoping to satisfy the current player base?
    7. Referring back to question 2, what will happen to the current Poxnora once Poxnora 2.0 has been developed?
    8. Will Poxnora 2.0 maintain all its unique aspects of the TCG/Strategy/Tabletop combination?

    Most of that can be realistically answered right now with certainty, so not really useful in speculation, but I will answer what I can.

    1. Unlikely, both for business reasons and also because it's unlikely there will be a reasonable 1:1 translation either in content or in design (for example, there may not even be the same rune types).
    2. It would be brand new, when it happens.
    8. It would seem silly to call it Pox 2 if it didn't follow the same kind of gameplay.
