Thing that always bugged be about Gyruss is the difficulty of getting a vehicle other than sailboat. This was eventually made easier, but a tractor was still a tier 5 or 6 vehicle, so if one of those factories had funky prices or stopped producting everything went to hell. This eventually led to making transfers even more teadious once the world size was doubled. Since people would have to walk twice as far for the same profit, most people gave up with things such as food since it required a reasonably long jog between towns. So the only way anything was getting transferred is if the owners of buildings did it themselves, afterall who else would spend 5+ minutes walking between point a and point b for only 1-2s profit.

Really, it's all those small things combined that caused the world to take a dive. Sure, one can point out that the uber rich people stopped playing and died off forcing some businesses to cease production, meanwhile others bought up every available jahowned house and jacked up the price so that new people would have to start at a bigger loss. But those things usually work themselves out on their own.

for me the size doubling helped me, it increased my FPS by another 20, gaining 30-50 FPS, i was much pleased with this, and yes only reason i had a v4 was of my wealth, bought it b4 after it slid under everyone's noses, i estimate i spent 4000-6000 on York, and anything that had to do with it.

Well gyruss is offline mainly because of the "death bug", I am glad to see there are some people that caire about its existance lol :)

I have re-installed the server this time and it will be up as soon as posable.

Gyruss has a new name... It has been re-named to Dracken Forest.
Gyruss now will be what I entended to build... A moon type planet.

Gyruss3 (AKA Dracken Forest) will not be ready to go back up for at least a month... I have to use 1/2 a month to do my IVA, Then build and releace the New Gyruss.
And yes the reson I increased the planet size was so FPS increased allong with it :)
And with the new build limit looming cars are easear to get, there are whole new strings of econs been added to the game.

Might even get a mini war activated in Irland (north V south) as in real life.

New Gyruss will be up in 2-3 weeks. (hopefully..)
This is a whole new design, mainly build around space and low gravity.

I don't want to go into a lot of detail but here are some design scetches.
*will edit when I find them lol*[/b]
