Ben *Aksoy

[Articsledder]

His gmail is aksoy.ben@gmail.com. I have recently contacted him to get back AoS, he hasn't responded though.

Take note that sending him 10000 emails about AoS probably isn't the most helpful thing right now guys

I also demand a removal of email posting since email spamming can easily happen by anyone guest on the forum. He may be working on a different game anyway. Besides, poking Ben using his email is not the smartest move.

Ben is a Jew he just Put a knife in AOS players back . He didnt wanted even to comment his acts with Jagex , or say that the .75 voxel version be shut down , or the half year that all Aos players waited for new version but they never came out cause he had a pakt with Fagex . He betrayed so much Aos players , that were so happy about this great new game.
I hope he dies a slow and painfull death. Cause that happens to Betrayers and Liars.

How about you shut the fuck up about stuff you don't know about? Ben was a great guy, he just made a mistake selling to Jagex. He's tried to buy back the rights several times.

First off, .75 has been shut down? Geez...tell that to everyone playing it...like RIGHT NOW...you know...AS WE SPEAK.

Secondly, any moderators wanna weigh in on this? Preferably with a gavel or mallet-like object used to magically remove people from online discussions?

Its true he sold out to us and didnt give us any notification, infact it was a massive suprise when we all logged in on the 1st of Nov.
But Ben is still a great guy, all we want is just to hear from him again even if its not AoS related.

To all the people that are saying he "sold out" - don't act all high and mighty, as if you wouldn't have done the same thing had someone offered you a ton of money for a small game that you started as a side project.

He was also in financial trouble at the time

One thing I can tell you, I wouldn't have sold it to Jagex. I would have implemented micro-transactions and published a better graphics DLC.

We need the 0.75 developers so classic Ace of Spades can live longer. very longer.

We do not have the source of 0.75, and it's owned by Jagex. The developers have also signed NDAs and such, meaning they can't talk about it. I wouldn't be surprised if they also aren't allowed to work on any Ace of Spades competitor either.

.75 wouldn't be hard to decompile as GreaseMonkey did with .60

Disassemble, technically.
Whether it would be ahrd or not isn't the issue - it's the legality or such an act, as well as the difficulty of expanding upon it.

You could do it then rename it ace of pickz so that it it a remix of sorts?

I wouldn't be paying you anything, ever. Micro-transactions are horrible.
Also, a "better graphics" DLC would either require maintaining two rendering engines, or having one engine with a boolean that either lets the user use better graphics, or not, which would be piss-easy to get around.

Jagex's policy on disassembling stuff:

You must not reverse-engineer, decompile or modify any Jagex Product client software in any way (except to the extent allowed by applicable law). You must not use a modified/customised version of the client software or attempt to copy, transfer or sub-license it. You must not create or provide any other means by which any Jagex Product may be played by others (including, without limitation, replacement or modified client/server software, server emulators). Please note that any such activity may constitute civil wrongs and/or criminal offences, and we reserve the right to take such action as appropriate in the circumstances should we become aware that such offences are being committed.

I'm no lawyer, but it appears that it's pretty much impossible to decompile/disassemble .75 legally based on that, unless you can claim they don't own it. Only hope would be if they didn't buy the earlier voxlap versions which they probably did.

It's unlikely, but does anyone know if Ben's commercial Voxlap license wasn't sold with the game? If it wasn't then technically Jagex was using .75 as a test platform, which goes against the Voxlap ToS.
