Title: How much longer will it take :-) ?
Post by: advent.wars on September 13, 2006, 01:41:57 pm
Hi,

well, Iam VERY new here, haven't even played the game yet, just downloaded it. Well, I think the idea is great, providing a free MMORPG and all. Well, does somebody have an idea, how much longer it will take until the game will be finished :D ?
I mean like most stuff properly working, very few bugs ect.

Any idea :-) ? I am aware, that this is kind of a fan-propject so progress is dependent on he time, the developers can spare for it, right :-) ?
Just asking, u're doing a great job though guys - keep it up  :thumbup: !

Due to the nature of the project (no fees, donated hardware, volunteer developers) it is impossible to give any estimation as to when the game will be considered version 1.0. It will never be fully "complete", because there will always be more content and new features to add. Development has been steadily going for approximately 5 years now, and we are at version 0.3. If you do not like bugs, instability, or incompleteness, this is perhaps not the perfect game for you just yet.

Always! A good starting point is this thread (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=21480.0). Less basic Q&A can be found here (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=21677.0). Don't be shy to post bug reports, but do try to use the (http://hydlaa.com/smf/Themes/PlaneShift/images/english/search.gif) (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?action=search) button beforehand to avoid repeating old topics. Above all, have fun!

Knowing Drey, I think he just ment "7". If he didn't ment just "7", if I were you, I wouldn't want to know what he ment. :P
