General Discussion / Agreed
« on: April 08, 2002, 08:04:56 am »
I have to agree, most people really don\'t mind banners. They are also usually unnoticable in many cases. If we just have a banner when we were loging on to play, and if most of us were commmited to clicking it every time we sign on, it could help a lot! And for those who don\'t like banners, even they probably wouldn\'t mind seeing one for a few seconds while loging on. I don\'t see any draw backs, the money could really help pay for a nice server. Maybe Planeshift could cut a deal with a server hosting company, it could really help. So what do the devs think about this...?

General Discussion / Tardiness is expected

You guys have to chill out a bit, after all this is a free game. If you want it out so badly go learn C++, get a bachelors degree in computer science, and make us a free game. Blizzard Entertainment (makers of the Warcraft, Diablo, and Starcraft series) has a whole staff they pay to work on their games and if Blizzard give you a release date you know they are going to be off by at least one year. Then there is also Duke Nukem Forever, they are like what, 3 years late already? The fact that the game is running late is a good sign, that means it\'s going through its normal process. Otherwise chances are it would just be a copy paste of another game. So just sit back and relax and watch with ahh at the very first free non-text oriented mmo.

You can host it on geocities. In my old clan one guy had a little trick to by pass their anti-hosting picture system by just posting some code in front of the image. I can\'t remember what the code was, but I\'m sure you can find it searching the web.

I\'ve ran a website server from my computer and it was a nightmare. Before that I would never lag, my cable connected to yahoo.com was at 22 ping, which was very fast. Then with the server up, once only a few people started downloading some pictures, I got pings in the range of 5,000! After about a week I decided to stop running it from my computer. So the moral of the story, Planeshift will have to have an expansive server run the game. Maybe one of them is rich and can pay for it... I don\'t know... but it won\'t be free. Hopefully someone will donate the server  ;) .

Then who is programming this game? And who\'s doing the art and stuff? I find it hard to believe that they are doing this for free. I don\'t know about this, it seems unreasonable to have a free mmo. MMO\'s have an inital payment and a montly fee, and they are worth it. To have it totally free to the gamers must be a pretty damn hard task. Oh well, good luck with it!  :)

General Discussion / Montly fee eventually?
« on: April 06, 2002, 11:36:17 pm »
I\'m pretty new here and I\'m a bit confused about people saying that this is free. I would understand the demos and open betas being free, but some people make it sound like there is no fee, ever. I probably just misunderstood, so all i\'m looking for is clarification.

Thx for your help
