Allen formed the core team, as well as secured the necessary funds from a group of investors in order to work on the company’s first product – Alganon.
At the time, the market was becoming increasingly attractive to potential entrants due to a recent increase in size and relevance, as more people of different age, gender and social make-up tuned to the addictive and engaging experience. The title that was almost single-handedly responsible for this phenomenon was World of Warcraft, created by Blizzard Entertainment. The game managed to embed accessibility of gameplay in a product that traditionally has been served to a niche market segment due to its complexity. As a result, WoW attracted more than 10 million users and became the largest player in the market, ensuring its leadership position. "
After a series of mostly negative reviews, Alganon creator Derek Smart lashed out a couple days ago, calling the comments abusive and unfair.
Quest Online, LLC and DC Entertainment welcome comic fans to Alganon, a world where two warring pantheons of gods have pushed their followers into endless conflict.
Massively: Quest Online announced today that its free-to-play MMORPG Alganon is expanding! The game's reach grows just a wee bit longer with the launch of the Aeon server, located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Players on either continent can choose to play on either server, so there's nothing stopping North American players from throwing down with their friends across the pond.
