Realtime Worlds have today released details on a community officer role they are hiring for, full details can be found here;

Realtime Worlds’ community relations manager Chris ‘Ulric’ Dye told us, “This role offers a great opportunity for  someone to get involved with APB  and become part of what we are confident will be a hugely successful title and community.

The role is ideally suited to anyone currently working with communities, whether that be in an official capacity via a company or perhaps even a successful fan / guild site.  We welcome applications from anyone who feels they are suitable for the role.”

The role is based in Dundee, Scotland. If you are interested send your CV over to Realtime Worlds and good luck.

Evolved Network (www.evolved-network) manages several websites, including Huxley-Evolved.com, and APB-Evolved.com. Due to the tremendous amount of support by both our supports and the developers them self becoming involved in the community; we are receiving an exponential amount of traffic and server load.

Currently, we are hosted on a single platform which is in a shared hosting environment. Because of this, we are going over our limits for usage of bandwidth and queries in our SQL database. You may have noticed errors or even downtime on our websites due to this.

In order to keep progressing, we need your help. What we would like to to is get enough donations to pay for our own deditcated server which would have plenty of space and bandwidth. This would not only provide better reliability all our evolved sites, but also allow us grow the network.

To save money, I wish to generate enough donations to buy hosting for at least one year which would cost roughly $1,000. All additional money on top of this would then go towards website expansion on our current websites, and new evolved websites in the future, and if we receive more money than needed, we will raffle off something to those who donate (such as a xbox360, Wii, Video card, Sound card etc.) We have placed a Chip-In meter on all evolved websites, so you can monitor the progress of the donations.

Thanks for your continued support!

(10.06.2008) Realtime Worlds (www.realtimeworlds.com) today announced that Chris ‘Ulric’ Dye has joined their team as Community Relations Manager for the highly anticipated MMO APB (www.apb.com).

Chris will begin the process of building the already growing community interest around APB through various channels including, but not limited to, fan sites, community forums and social networking sites.

“APB is at an extremely exciting and important stage, and we can now begin the process of introducing to the gaming community the various aspects of what will make up this genre defining MMO”, commented Chris.

Mario Rizzo, Business Development Manager added “This appointment signals the start of a new phase for APB where we can interact more fluidly with both gaming sites, and our potential future player base. This is an important milestone for the game now that we are transitioning into Alpha and moving towards the full public beta of APB.”

APB-Evolved has reached a major milestone, as we have just hit 1,000 users on May 31st. We originally planned on setting a goal to get 600 members by this time, which was double our current members base at the time. We have now officially tripled our members base, as we continue to grow at a progressive rate.

To celebrate this, I feel its a perfect time to release a small teaser by our very own community member : MrMoustache. This video is quite impressive, unfortunately once again the original concept video was used, but we feel that the guys over at Realtime Worlds will really appreciate watching this one.

The 2008 Golden Joystick voting have just begun, and All Points Bulletin is one of the contestants for the : One to Watch Award!

Please show your support for APB and vote!

WarCry Network speaks to Senior Vice President of Business Development - Walter Kong about Realtime Worlds and their upcoming flagship title, APB. In this interview a good amount of information was revealed, the first page mostly outlines on how they reacquired their publishing rights from Webzen. They made sure it was known, that just because they left Webzen as their publisher, it does not mean that they will be publishing it themselves. In addition to this it also allows them to be more creative and create the game as they see fit.

The next page in the interview talked a little more on the progress of APB, and while they noted the game has been extremely quite (all the fans here know it); it does not mean they have not made progress in the development of All Points Bulletin. "[APB is] in a fairly late stage where we've solved the majority of the development challenges, we think that we have some good core gameplay in place and we're aiming to really be able to bring this product to closed beta sometime in the second half of this year," Kong noted.

Last, they spoke about how the PC is the highest priority and any other version would subsequent to the PC version. RTW again confirms they are pushing for a 2009 release.
