No you guys don't, you know why you work "part-time" don't attempt to advertise it! The chat server is down like every day. You guys don't work together! You don't even live near each other! What the feck you guys doing? If you want plays get an office building or in one of your guys houses. work together. Work full-time everyday for a few days. Get a life goto college learn stuff and work together with your players. Don't have feckin past due dates or i owe u wtf guys. Try to advertise and answer e-mails. I'll advertise on my site i guess. Sell hats or t-shirts or poster. Sell the game on a disk to stores and whole salesman. Have a convention for the universal and show your faces to the world. Work together and prefect it. Show your players you care about them. Tell players to not feck off to noobs. Get books and tutorials on the site. Finish help books for world creators. Sell stuff for money. Setup a dang world register thing. You keep things up to date. Make a lie like 10,000 players can't lie join today. Come on make an effort to work on it guys. These little things could change the website and the game forever. Come on now make a damn effort guys.
Thanks,
Rikku
Want Players?
Sell the game on a disk to stores and whole salesman.
Have a convention for the universal
get an office building
sell the game on a disk
These little things
I wouldn't exactly consider those to be "little things".
Next time write in caps because even they would be an upgrade over that large bold font. A paragraph or two couldn't hurt either.
erm...lol.
to reply to key parts...
"The chat server is down like every day"
if you read the forums (thats what there here for), you will see that magic SAYS the pc is having trouble.
"You guys don't work together!"
speaking along the lines of development, mit is the only one who programs and fooli is the only official staff that models. in what way could they work together besides mit asking for a specific model?
"You don't even live near each other!"
actually the main staff DOES live near each other.
as i understand it, mit, fooli, and device live close enough together to occasionally goto the same bar. don't know if magic lives near them though.
"Get a life goto college learn stuff"
yea, like them getting a life and going to college will REALLY make em be around a lot more. there not around 24/7 because they HAVE lives. they HAVE families, they WENT to college already and thus HAVE full time jobs that demand there attention.
"Sell the game on a disk to stores and whole salesman. Have a convention for the universal and show your faces to the world"
to be honest with you, as much as i love the game, i have to admit that it isen't exactly upto par with most games on the market. i really don't think it'd do that good if sold in stores. atleast not until some higher quality worlds are made (like ciroz and sabrada) but even then, the game engine would need a rewrite to fully cope and provide graphical detail thats on par with most games out there. In tests done, the engine can only display around 50k polies at once problem free, then odd stuff starts happening, after you hit around 60k polies at once, it just doesn't display any more and stuff vanishes.
"Get books and tutorials on the site"
nothings stopping you from making a tutorial
"Sell stuff for money"
several (including myself) have offered services to do this sorta thing in the past (in my case, an account with a custom logo merchandising company that could put any pic you want on pretty much anything) . nobody ever had any success with it though.
on a side note....
i do quite miss the days where mit, fooli, magic, and device could be seen ingame often and chatted with and when patches came on a weekly/monthly basis.

and us too, but most of you that have spoken to, played, fought with us etc... you will know that both personal and work lifes for all of us are incredibly busy at the moment, I have just spent the last 3 hours getting the chat server running which now means i have no more time available today. Such is life im afraid.
The option of running the game as a full time enterprise would be bit of a non starter unless someone wins the lottery and wants to donate about a millon (GBP)
p.s summer is always bad... go out get some sun and stress less
if i won, i probably would.Magicfinger wrote: The option of running the game as a full time enterprise would be bit of a non starter unless someone wins the lottery and wants to donate about a millon (GBP)
but actually, i probably set up a home network with a 100+mb line, a cabinet full of rack mounts, and offer to host the galaxy and chat servers, and PAY you guys to work on the game full time.
p.s. did you see my topic in the other forum about your PC?
