Dear users,
For quite some time already, activity on WoG.com has been minimal, and the English WoG-forums have also seen a steady decrease in activity. As much as it saddens us, the moderator team does not see this trend changing, especially with the uncertain future of the Gothic franchise. The administrators of World Of Players have been going through sites with little or no activity with the intent to archive some of those sites, and close their forums. It did not come as a surprise to us moderators that the English World of Gothic was on this list. It also did not take us a long time to reach a consensus on the fact that when the only way to "save" WoG-eng would be increased activity not only on the forums, but especially on the website, there really is no realistic way to do this.
I know many members of the English community have foreseen this coming, and that it as such won't come as a surprise to you. Others might have hoped for a resurrection or renaissance of the community (and the franchise), but those hopes were in vain. It's certainly with no small amount of sadness that we announce that WoG-eng will very soon come to its end; it is only a matter of days until the site will be archived, and the forum will remain open for a short while longer (until May, or so). After that, the forum will be closed.
Both the website and the forum discussions will still be available for reading, however there will be no new activity on them. The few english users that are active on the English World of Gothic forums can still communicate in Off-Topic English forums around the World of Players network (for example Pirate's Pawned Pegleg Pub in the World of Risen area) and for related Gothic Discussions, the German team has kindly stated that we are more than welcome to open english threads on that side.
Despite its steady decline in the past few years, there was a time when WoG-eng was a welcoming, vibrant and friendly gathering place for friends of this awesome RPG series. It was never a huge community, but in some way perhaps that was part of its strength and attraction; it was large enough for rich discussion, but still small enough for everyone to "know" everyone else. People have connected to other people and, in some cases, forged bonds of friendship that extent beyond the forum, and I'm sure many of us who've been here for years have fond memories of the forums. But all things come to an end. And this is the end of WoG-eng as we know it. Thank you for these years and for the fun times.

The Gothic 3 Community Story Project has the goal to bring the story in the game on a much higher level. The group of fans involved in the project wants Gothic 3 to become the game it should be: a worthy successor of Gothic 1 and 2.
The CSP Team recently announed their Advent calendar. From the 1th until the 24th of december, you will receive a small impression of the coming Mod every day.
The Advent Calendar can be viewed on the CSP website.
Quote from the CSP website:
"If you do something for the third time, it becomes a tradition. So, let us establish a tradition today by announcing the third CSP Advent calendar! Each day between the 1st and the 24th of December, you will be given a small impression of our Mod, like a screenshot, a story or a video. We hope to sweeten your waiting time for our project as well as for Christmas and wish you a merry Advent season!"

| [Community] The Gothic 3 Orc Mod |

Joey1990 is one of our most active G3-mod makers, and well known for his Gothic 3 and Forsaken Gods Content mods. Now he has once again delivered an impressive piece of work: The G3-Orc Mod, released in its latest version 2.1.
His new mod adapts the orcs in Gothic 3 to the orcs in Gothic 2, by changing the optics and the equipment. During the creation of the mod he tried to stay true to the Gothic style. The models of the G3-orcs got changed as much as was possible, by removing certain parts and adding other/old ones. For example, the orcs now wear the old shoulder plates and their «usual» body hair. Also some of the old orc weapons are introduced. They were adapted for Gothic 3 by changing the models and textures. As a result, they do no longer appear so angular and rough around the edges. In addition, the sounds that the orcs make in Gothic 2 can now also be heard in Gothic 3.
For all those of you who always wanted the old type of orcs in Gothic 3, this mod is a must-have!
To play Gothic 3 with the orcmod one must install the following components in the correct order:
1. Gothic 3
2. Community-Patch v1.75
3. Quest Package v4.2 + Compatibility-Update to CP v1.75
4. Content-Mod v2.4
5. G3-Orc Mod v2.1
To get the G3 Orc Mod just follow the link below. The download page also contains links for getting the Community Patch, Quest Package and Content Mod.

Compared to the previous patch (1.74) CP 1.75 offers widescreen support for the menues, new graphics options (like color grading or FXAA) and decreasing of stuttering by using a shader cache.
In addition to this the patch includes a ModKit. Using that ModKIt there are possibilities to change or create new game contents in limited ways. There were also more possibilities added for modders.

| [Article] Will there be another Gothic? Interview with Björn Pankratz. |

Ever since it became clear that Piranha bytes got the rights to the Gothic franchise back, the game developer has not made any statement suggesting that they will make another Gothic.
This silence has been interpretated by some fans as a lack of enthusiasm from Piranha bytes for making another Gothic game.
GameBanshee has now published an interview with Björn Pankratz from Piranha Bytes. The main topic is Risen 2 of course. But Björn also got a few questions about the future of Gothic.
GB: You've stated previously that once Risen 2 is finished, you'll be in a position to return to the Gothic franchise. Can you elaborate on that? Does the acquisition of JoWooD by Nordic Games impact when the Gothic franchise will open up to you again?
BP: The Gothic brand still belongs to us, so we are free to develop another edition. There is no new Gothic game planned at the moment though.
GB: Are you confident that there will be another Piranha Bytes-developed Gothic title? And if so, what does that mean for the future of the Risen franchise?
BP: What the future brings will be decided one project at a time.
This probabaly means that a serious internal discussion on a Gothic sequel will not be started before Risen 2 has been completed and its success evaluated.

Shortly before Christmas the Community Patch Team (CPT), also known as "Mad Vulture Games" has released their last patch for the Enhanced Edition of Forsaken Gods.
The patch has been produced in collaboration with Nordic Games and solves a number of bugs, including a few important ones, which were present in the Enhanced Edition.
The patch has not been released until today, because the team has enjoyed a well-deserved break after their work on the Enhanced Edition. The perseverance of the team is truly remarkable!
In the german WoG forum RoiDanton of the CPT has stated that no decision has yet been taken on another patch for the original Gothic 3 game:
"Like said, we have been thinking about this. But no final decision has been made. We will once again take a small break, it's Christmas after all."
In our forum you can read the complete changelog.
