After a period of rapid expansion in 2007, the Looble Network closed applications for new websites wishing to join so that the focus could be shifted instead to building quality content on each of the sites. This definitely payed off as the final end of year numbers are quite impressive:

Over the course of 2007 the Looble Network generated 357,246 page views from 64,189 visits!

The surprisingly high pages per visit of ~5.6 is in large due to the BattleCity Classic community and their very active forums!

With the monthly page views average approaching 30,000 it may soon be time for the Looble Network to start accepting new advertising partners. Network-wide advertising has been closed since the start of 2007 when the focus was shifted to building quality content such that advertisers would gain real value through partnerships with Looble.

“We want to offer high-quality advertising opportunities to our partners so that they continue to come back to our Network each time they run a new marketing campaign.”

One year ago, after a near shut-down of BattleCity, the Looble Network and Codemallet officially joined forces in attempt to bring a more stable and successful future to the game. Last week, Codemallet decided to drop out of this partnership in order to focus on other game development projects, leaving the Looble Network with full-rights to the game.

We plan to keep on hosting and developing BattleCity Classic and would like to apologize to all the players who were forced to endure a week of down-time when the server was closed unexpectedly! We’re also still waiting for Codemallet to fulfill it’s end of the partnership agreement and send us the latest version of the game as well as our share of profits raised over the last year so that we can invest this money into a new server!

If you’re having trouble getting online to play BattleCity Classic right now please download the latest version! The game is back up and running!

Today some very good news has been announced for the BattleCity Community!

After 2 weeks of down-time, BattleCity will relaunch as BattleCity Classic! You can visit the new BattleCity Classic website for the full details!

The relaunch of BattleCity also brings some very big news to the Looble Network! Initially there were talks about shutting down the game or possibly putting it up for sale. After receiving much feedback from the community, it became apparent that there was much support for the continued development of BattleCity; so instead talks shifted towards the possibility of a relaunch.

In order for the relaunch to take place, both parties running BattleCity decided to sit down and work out any remaining issues in order to ensure the success and longevity of the game in the future.

The new terms and agreements officially create a co-ownership of BattleCity. Should the game ever become profitable, there would be a 50/50 split between Weebo & ReMoTe. Furthermore, should either Weebo or ReMoTe ever leave the project, both will have full rights to the last version of code created while in partnership. This ensure that the game will never be shut down unless both partners wish for such. Lastly, this agreement will carry over to the JAVA version of BattleCity so long as it be released while both partners are still working together.

In a nutshell, this means BattleCity still has a bright future ahead and Looble will continue to be a part of it! Be sure to update our bookmarks to the new official website at http://www.looble.com/bcc/!
