Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... slow down here.. I seem to be missing some info. I thought this game was it's own game, but now there's this "universal" thing and "galaxy"?

Ok Ok I'm going to need an explanation. I really don't get this. There happen to be a site for this "galaxy" thing? Also I hear a lot about some galaxy client and stuff.

You know, maybe an explanation on how this works would solve everything a lot easier. Thanks for anyone who is willing to give me an explanation.

Here it is as simple as I can explain it.

The game is changing. All of the islands are actually going to be 'worlds', and they'll be around stars. To visit different islands, you fly between them, explore new star systems and such, and of course, space will have it's own currency, called.. uh.. I forgot.

Money on the island can be exchanged for space money, to buy better stuff for your ship. So there will be new worlds and stars and such, plus, this is supposed to be the phase with which the game will be spread around, possibly collecting new players.

The Universal is the new name of the game
the "galaxy client" is what you use to get into the galaxy
just not all parts have the new name yet.

<--wonders what credits have to do with the top right corner
<--looks in his top right corner, sees a big pic saying "The Universal"

Zar, if there's a blank line between texts, that most of times means that the writer switches to a different topic.
In my case, first i was responding to Jeff, and after that responding to all that don't know where i find Universal in the game.

a blank line also represets different paragraphs.
it also represents making it look neater then haveing lots of things bunched together

according to proper grammer rules, isen't 2 or 3 linebrakes considered a topic change?

and anywaym, that statement is kinda wrong
anybody without a galaxy client will have only have the words "A-Tractor" in the bottem right corner. not "the universal" anywhere on the screen.
the "the universal" is only on the beta galaxy client.

Zar, i was talking to the people with Galaxy.

Also, before telling me how to use paragraphs, use capitals and periods first.

i never said you had to use paragraphs.
all i said is...well...you can read it

zaroba · Post by **zaroba** » Tue Jun 22, 2004 11:17 am

i never said how to use them
i said, "ALSO represents..."

stuff can represent things in different ways
different people look at things differently.

i only looked at your one line brake, thought it was the same issue, so posted as such.
no need to get all defensive over it.

Thanks for the advice. IT was useless. Because the reason I posted here at all is to find out if I had been left out. Which I have. So I can't update. I don't know where to get the update.

Ice; that happens to everybody that isn't on when others are.
It's still says Galaxy when you type .vers but Universal in the top right corner (even for you).
We're at 0.1.26 though.
Dunno the link, try asking Mit.
