Me and owning a world *Mit please read*
I think I'll never own a world because I have crapy luck. I was born on December Friday the 13th! I have the worst luck ever so that why I'm posting this to tell everyone that I'll never own a world ever. I think my chances of getting a planet is 0.01% while my chances of not getting a world is 99.99%. If I ever do get a planet, most likly not in a million of years to come, I have the DevTeam working for me and I'll have Zaroba to host my world. But I'm a nobody that has sent in a crapy application into the DevTeam that would never ever approve me. If I do get approve I thing I'll go into shock and barly even posting a post for a long time.
Monthly? I can't support monthly because I'm still in High school. I have 2 more grades to go through! I can't have a good paying job while in school.Mit wrote:everyone will get chance to build a world soon (for free)..
There'll be a monthly registration fee payable if you want it to appear in the galaxy.
Why are you posting about how you will never own a world. There are plenty players who who don't own one. You've been playing for a month or two. The people who own worlds have been playing for years. This is a really bad attempt at trying to get pity form the staff so they'll get you a world. It'd not gonna work.
What the hell! Why do I want pity? I just posted this to show I'm a monkey with luck from hell. Nothing goes right for me. I bought barrels of oils on zoric to sell for a profit but I find out that it had a damn investment limit! See that how I have bad luck! What appears to what should happean to me doesn't happen at all! I have a plane factory on sabrada I bought it thinging that I could make a profit but my bad luck did what it did best and I found out I wasn't makeing a profit but the owner of the plane show room was making a profit. he buy the plane cheap and sell high. I have the worst luck on the planet! Today I was running low on fuel on sabrada and I was think of buying gas then I found out no gas station had gas no fuel drum maker had gas so I can't use my mini to drive me everywhere untill I can get gas! This is my bad luck!socom wrote:Why are you posting about how you will never own a world. There are plenty players who who don't own one. You've been playing for a month or two.

Welcome to the life of a typical player.
Why even today i was transfering chems to my explosive plant on zoric... and i accdently bought 25 instead of 2 (considering they are 5s a peice.
My first time on sabrada, i had just bought a house, and a power plant. then while stocking up on drinks and food, i die...
Its not your bad luck, its just part of the game.

Yeh, you're probably quite right.. and i don't expect us to make any significant amount of cash out of it.. certainly its unlikely we'll ever make enough to justify the amount we have to spend to run the galaxy & chat servers n websites etc, let alone recoup the amount of time & money we've spent building the game up over the past 3 or 4 years - we are, after all, a small community with no marketing budget or full time staff or all the other things that are needed to run a really good gaming service. Maybe if a hundred people suddenly got a rush of blood to the head and starting paying monthly fees that could change i guess.. :]is the fact there are alot of people not willing to pay monthly fees
The way the game is made - with world owners basically performing the role of game designers & producers - is a unique and vital part of our little universe... but it comes also with a major downside if the worlds are built by people who are not committed to the long term success of the game.
The other aspect of a monthly fee, is that those people who are willing to pay will likely be exactly the sort of people we need running the worlds - the dedicated few who are genuinely committed to making an independent game like this grow..
Equally though, i'd like everyone to get the chance to build a world - coz i happen to think making games is sometimes as much fun as playing em. The free, unregistered worlds will allow people to find out whether that is something they're interested in... it is still a difficult and time-consuming process thats not going to appeal to everyone.
In addition.. if someone who wasn't able to pay came up with a design on their local world that we (i.e. the game community) thought was so good that it should be made public then we'll make sure theres opportunity for that to happen. I want to make sure thats a democratic process, so if you want to run a world, djaj, all you'll have to do is make one so good that the rest of the community wants to play it
I agree with you on that idea Mit
Also, I was wondering how hard it would be to create a world server that is not on the gal, only supports 2 player accounts and a client capable of connecting to a world by the ip, untill this free worlds are out, this would in turn give the individuals interested in hosting a world, a head start on world creation.
Thats just an idea form my evil head.. lol

not hard.. the only problem with doin that is that as soon as i did, some tw*t would come along and hack it so that more than 2 ppl could connect, and then the whole system would be redundant.
but ideally, yeh.. something like that is what i'd ultimately like to do.. i'll have a good think about it and see if i can't get some system goin along those lines - Itd be useful for many people to be able to test the setup for incoming connections before they actually registered.. as hosting is often a problem for ppl on networks/routers/firewalls etc.

Yeah, that crossed my mind when i was writing it
Best idea i have, but then again, its more coding....
Maybe have the server verify with a "master server" which logs the server information (ip, port, maybe even a machine unique code) so it can be periodicly checked by an admin making sure that it is a valid running server. If IP/Code are banned then the server will fail to run.
