Other Worlds

Post by Nigel667 »

I've been away from Universal for some time, so I was just wondering if there are any other worlds in development or being planned in the near future.

Especially anything that involves functional economies :)

Do you mean playermade worlds? If you do then:

Yes, I have been developing a world for the last two months.

It will be an economy world in a techno-fantasy theme, in a strange but beautiful alien planet.

I've been modelling it all from scratch, including its vegetation and 90% of its buildings (the other 10% taken from tuwr.net).

Most buildings belonging to the economy and to the planet's landscape are done. Only a few models left for a completely modelled world.

I finished the sky for it yesterday in photoshop. And I must say, I'm hugely satisfied. The entire project looks extremely promising.

Just waiting to get back the world server again to take it all online and testing. But right now, 70% done. The last 30% pending on a few models and the new world server.

Since I don't want to spoil anything, I'd rather not post too many details or screenshots.

But yeah, there are worlds in development at this time instant! Atleast from the community's part. :wink:

the worlds that were around before this new thing (zoric, xebec, zion, ariya, etc) will likely all be back when player worlds are available again.

besides that,
i'm working on a survival horror themed fighting world named Tower of Terror and have a few other ideas for worlds to make after that one
wes and stim are working on a pizza delivery themed racing world named Blackened
Mishka is making a world named Vert.

i remember somebody making a pirate themed world too

What happened to Xebec? I saw your thread on that. Looked pretty interesting.

Sounds right up my alley :D

Is there a particular reason why player Worlds are currently unavailable? Would it have to do with the new script system? I'm itching to play some of these upcoming worlds, and also to experience some of the old ones, and ones that I missed when I was gone.

What's the situation with World ownership now? I did donate years back to get my own World, but there appears to be a subscribing option now. Is World ownership conditional on membership? I'd love to get straight back into World creation myself, perhaps recreate some of the experiences I used to have in this game.

Lack of worlds now is part of the new advancing threw the history of mankind theme.
We start on one world and as time progresses the game advances and new stuff opens up. Chapter 12 is when some worlds will become available when space travel is invented, later on more worlds will become available as inter-steller flight is discovered.

I believe the subscription thing now is tied with world ownership. It's only $6 every 3 months. Scripts can also see if a player is a subscriber to allow subscriber only benefits.

Wasn't it in mid-chapter 3 where worlds would return?

Would be great if Mit cleared that up once and for all.

Do you know if Mit allows for a yearly subscription? I'd be happy to pay for a year's subscription, and not have to worry about it.
