Anyone thought about modding a Multiplayer for KoA?

I don't know much about the coding of the game but it would be awesome to have a mod which does allow coop (2 players) to play with each other. This mod should be build up to allow only playing together by being forced to do all quest side by side (no individual play) and special moments like "fate breakers" are performed by the host...

Besides the legal issues it would be cool if someone could do this.

This game is basically a singleplayer World of Warcraft, I'd love to see an mmo made out of it. A good one though, one I have to pay $$ for every month, no f2p garbage mechanics.

The original plan was that "Reckoning" was single-player _test_ in preparation for building a full-scale MMO with the same IP but. . .they ran out of money. . . and the IP become the property of the State of Rhode Island and is, probably, still locked away in some dusty underground vault.

I would recommend playing WoW then. Still pretty populated. I myself started 2 weeks ago playing it.

Yeah, but that's the fault of the marketing team they had. They delivered awefull work to advertise it. I have never seen tv spots or anything like that when it was released (I live in germany but stilll it has a german translation so why no adds?)

Actually, it's since come to be owned by THQ Nordic... but release rights are held by EA, which makes for a very odd legal situation where EA needs to sign off on another publisher/developer's game.

Incorrect. EA holds the publishing and retail rights of KoAR only, which means that only if THQ Nordic decide to remaster/remake KoAR one day then there might be legal issues incurred. However for the rest of the KoA franchise, the decisions and ownership belong entirely to THQ Nordic.

This is what I meant but failed to articulate.
