Are Ubisoft doing marketing and PR for you or just publishing and distribution?
Daniel James: They’re going to spend some money in marketing and spend some money in PR. It’s one of the reasons we’ve been working on updates while we worked out that deal and now that it’s moved forward, we’ve started to place it all in the game. It retails for $19.99, one month free, there will be a single player experience as well which will not be available except on download unless you pay $20 on download. But, we’re very optimistic about the publish. We want to grow both sides of the models. So with any luck, in six months we’ll have 3-4 subscriber servers and hopefully 5-10 Doubloon servers. That would be the “big win”. And all of those naughty kids who are playing Runescape will come and play on the Doubloon servers and that will be great! I think Puzzle Pirates is a much better experience and more fun. You’re not just playing mini-games; you’re playing games with a purpose. It’s great when you notice that what you’re doing makes a difference in the sailing of the ship. Gamers
