Hello dear Lone Wolf fan,
My name is Mikaël Louys and i am the CEO of a gaming studio named Magnamund Studios S.a.r.l, which was founded recently with Joe Dever’s consentment.
We have a licence agreement with Joe Dever to develop “LONE WOLF ONLINE”, a massive multiplayer role-playing game (MMORPG) based on his successful Lone Wolf series.
We have also an agreement with Mongoose Publishing to use all their contents from the Lone Wolf pen-and-paper RPG, for that current LONE WOLF ONLINE development.
MAGNAMUND STUDIOS, an independant development studio focusing ONLY on the LONE WOLF ONLINE licence, and privately held by former mmorpg players and Lone Wolf fans, has a team of about 15 persons currently starting to work on this project, including coders, programmers, 3D artists, webdesigners and community managers.
However we are not Sony and designing a mmorpg nowadays is very costly – the licences are already costing us a lot and now we are entering the production phase.
That’s why we decided to open the working capital of our company to fans like you who could, if they wish, buy some shares of our developping studio and interact in the LONE WOLF ONLINE adventure. Currently 1 share is approx. $/€ 100, and as for now there’s only room for 40 more private shareholders like you.
The benefits of becoming a LONE WOLF ONLINE shareholder are :
-Claim dividends. Each year in June we will hold a meeting between shareholders and distribute dividends among us, accordingly to our company revenues and your number of shares,
-Investing in private company shares is often tax-deductible, depending in which country you live,
-Get the privilege to participate in internal discussions regarding LONE WOLF ONLINE’s gameplay evolutions, to a certain extent of course since there is, like in any game, a non-disclosure agreement,
-Have your resume examined by our existing team to see how you could help us on the project,
-Participate to all MAGNAMUND STUDIOS legal company meetings, either by coming physically to the assembly meetings or by Microsoft Messenger for those who live far away,
-All shareholders will get the game cd’s for free when it’ll be released in 3 years,
-All shareholders will be granted a free subscription time (after their 1st free month included in their box), depending on how many shares they own in MAGNAMUND STUDIOS. Shareholders with 15 or more shares will get a free subscription for life (that doesn’t include the price of future expansion cd’s though),
-All shareholders will have a professional e-mail they can use on the LONE WOLF ONLINE website (ie, yournameorpseudo@lonewolf-online.com) and will be authorized by the company to act as community managers on the game forums and chats.
-Last but not least, you’ll certainly meet Joe Dever at future company meetings at a time or another and i’m sure he will be delighted to autograph one of your favorite Lone Wolf book and have a nice chat with anyone of you !
So what are you waiting for ? With this shareholding offer, we give you players and fans an opportunity to participate in the most exciting MMORPG project of this century and to discuss your LONE WOLF ONLINE vision with our team.
Please note that this email is private, has been sent only to a few potential fans and investors, and will not be followed by other mails if you choose not to reply to it.
To answer our shareholding program, or get even more information about it, please feel free to contact me personally either my sending an e-mail to my attention at contact@magnamund.com, or by a private instant message using Microsoft Messenger, entering the same above email adress to have me as a contact.
I sincerely hope our shareholding program will be successful, and by being independant we’ll make sure Lone Wolf Online doesn’t end like Ultima X or Warhammer Online, which is a shame. But we need YOU !
Long live the Magnamund, Lone Wolf Online and the Kai spirit,
Mikaël Louys,
CEO, Magnamund Studios S.a.r.l
