ROLL CALL!! who is actually still around?

Post by zaroba »

ok, during the past month there were many days (nearly all of them) that i could count the number of people that logged in on one hand. there were also many days when i still had fingers on that hand left over.

so, if your still here, please post saying so.

Lost 12 M. The quest got me this time. That was a good one Mit.
Been making on the avg of 400K a day.
The Gal went off line for a day or so. When this hapen I did not think the game would be back up.
Lost over 1.5 M Crs. The game was reset back a day I think. Like once befor.
Over the past 2 months there has been 1 to about 5 players on line.

Post by pasappie »

hello i am PasAppie from the Netherlands
i download this game and start the game ??????
i am in space but have read a lot of help before i can land on a planet calls mechzone this is the only planet online and dont download verry nice i have a white world if i was the owner of this game i tried to be 24/7 online so if a new guy or girl tried the game and flying in space you can chat with the guy or girl and say how it works here and make it intrested so far i can read on the forums this game is almost dead and that is a shame because its a GREAT game i think its the best way and make the communicatie easier like a chat on the site so you can see who is online and you can chat with this persons nobody can make easy contact with one of the crew or something like that prehaps this way can make the game beter the best commercial is mouth on mouth commercial i told a lot of friends of this game !! good luck PasAppie :D

wow, more people replied then i expected to. thats a good sign.



hi pasapie, glad to hear some feedback.

chatting in space: there is usually a space chat but the chat server seems to have gone down. Magicfinger runs it and is usually pretty fast at getting it online after it crashes. so it should be back soon. once its back (you'll see something along the lines of "Universal Chat Server Connection Active" when you start up the client), you can type ?setchat public1 to join the main channel and then can type ?chat to see who is on it at any time.

the game being dead currently: i think its mainly because the old site host broke the site and with Mit (the games owner) being busy with work and his family, he hasn't had time to get it back up until recently. The site being down for almost 2 months made the game seem abandoned and many left, or became much less active. This kinda explains the worlds too, since the worlds are run by players.

mechzone appearing white: i currently run mechzone and the models and textures should have been getting downloaded automatically when you logged onto it the first few times. but i'll check to make sure its set up correctly.

worlds being up: if your using the old A-Tractor client, that could be a reason as to why your seeing that since its quite bugged. For best results, use the client available in the download section here. There are other worlds running like zoric, 420, xebec, drellis, and i'm sure a few others, but i can't remember there names. these are worlds that show as offline in the a-tractor client (and the 'Finite Drive' list on the main client) but are actually running and connectible if your using the main client from the downloads section here.

I am somewhat. if you land on 420 in the evening i usually see it. I would say 3 people actually play as a rough gestimate.
