With Pleasure We Announce ....

Okay Guys,

Got an announcement to make which is a bit exciting to people who used to play A3 India.

As you would have noticed that I have been absent from the forum and ingame for some time. The reason for that was something personal and another reason was invitation from few people to join/help in their server.

The URL is : http://www.a3-india.com

Me and Scar were invited by few people who have the database for A3 India to help them setup, develop, manage and maintain their server. They already have few people with them but they appear inexperienced.. however knowledgeable. They required experienced people who could guide them in effective management of everything, so they had invited us to look and guide them over everything.

Me and Scar verified the database ourselves and it appears that their claims are 100% true. They DO have the A3 India database and they will be launching it soon.

As you guys remember, we too wanted to host a 1x server but did not. So I think the A3 India would be a good option for that. And we can also expect few more people to join more people to join in Mania due to the above.

We did this for the good of A3 Community and me and Scar have already agreed to this. Few years back when we used to play A3 India.. me and Scar never ever expected that one day.. A3 India will be in our hands. Hehe. :D

We will be helping their development people with the development part and some guidance wherever required. We will not be looking after their ingame administration as it will put a lot of pressure on us, as we already left Mania administration due to this. We have also agreed to provide some financial help to them if required. They would be running messages, advertisement and mention in their website and logo as "Sponsored by A3 Mania".

Scar is very busy with exams at the moment so I will be helping them in the meanwhile.

The A3 India server should take time to come up but when it does, I hope it will be better than before.

I would also like to add that our FIRST Preference always will be A3 Mania and not India server. We already have Blade and Warrior taking off a lot of load from our shoulders. Still we will always prefer to develop A3 Mania first then A3 India. Players of A3 Mania need not worry to get ignored or sidelined by us. A3 Mania will be our FIRST preference.

Hoping for Enthusiastic response from everyone.
[GM]Scar and Numenor.

I told him to deny everything. First we thought that we will not allow them to use our name... but knew that somehow or someday it will come out. So better let everyone know from us itself. Dont worry, we will manage everything. When A3 India was up also, we used to have the same population in Mania. These things cant be foretold, have to see for ourselves.

A3 india 1x server would be great :yahoo: :yahoo: ..But i wil never want ppl to leave A3mania and go there :( I doubt wether i will like an 1x server again. It would be really hard to mantain both servers at same time too. Who would want to waste 10 minutes on Hatrel boss when you can do it in less than 30seconds in A3mania, keeping in mind both are well balanced servers. A3Mania is imba now and very well balanced.

So, i doubt people leaving mania :) GMs keep up the good work. And +1 for rohit's post..People invested money in a3mania wanting only a3mania server to run properly. IF you guys are rich, take from your own pockets nd spend for other servers :P..Nyway Sponsored by A3mania will give credit to our server nd increase server population. A3mania should alwazz be secure !!

Great. Scar just spoke to me on MSN about this.

Leave mania to us!

Too much office work load these days. My PA left the job, so once when i get a new PA, I will be relieved of a lot of work. My old PA used to be hot :(. Donno why she had to leave the job

Maybe you did something bad. :P

And Yea. Below is the message for People who came here from the orkut topic.
I hope you read my post above clearly and understood it. We will not post anything in orkut.. so do not ask any details there. The topic was posted by Rohit (who is the Boss of New A3 India) just for announcing.

If you dont trust that A3 India can return then dont.

Guys please can you give us some more information.
Will a3 India be a Episode 5 or Episode 3 like before ?
I agree with "rockstar8" people will go where the crowd is .

Long time back i heard Actorsoft/AniPark were developing New Episodes then they abandoned it i guess.
Would it not be super cool if someone makes another episode ? I know its asking too much , but till to date the whole story behind A3 in very unclear & yet we are playing it for so many years .
Imagine A3 Mania the first Episode 6-7 server :P . I just feel if anyone has the resources its our server who can make a new episode .
Wow players get new patches so regularly it makes them stick to the game .
While old a3 players i guess just got bored n left .

PS:- Has anyone ever played a3 on Mac ?

Shouldn't be financial support forever. Its just to give a Kick Start. I guess it will become self sustainable over time. Even if the server comes up, I will give more Priority to Mania itself.
