How many players are there?
« on: May 06, 2003, 08:29:55 pm »
I saw this game a wile ago, dont remember when it was, but before they made the game public, and it seemed pretty good, i forgot about it though, and dismissed it as just someone\'s dream of making a free game :D

now i jost got a few comments/questions


1) it will go to p2p eventually, runescape was not intended to be p2p, but now it is, so are many other games i played, its inevitable. but what we can do is keep f2p and p2p, so people can pay if they want a better version, and keep f2p without updates and such

2) im curiouse, how many people are on each server at peak times, and how long was the game actually awailable to the public?
i really hope im not too late to be a vet in a year, lol!
(i hope u know what i mean)

3) sorry for being so negative on the p2p issue, but i have been dissapointed by so many good games before that went to p2p that i dont trust in the goodness of mankind. But there is a first time for everything :D



your thoughts?

As for question 2, the game is in pre-alpha. You can play for ten minutes and be a \"vet\".
You are here,
You will always be here,
You will never be there.
Although you may strive to get there,
upon reaching there you will realize you are really here.
And there is everywhere else.

I hope that it will be f2p, and I think it will be.

your thoughts?


1.) its free, and has been quoted by the devs as always will be. (making it p2p would b too complicated legally it has been said)

2.) theres only one server, and there seems to be a steady stream of 20- 30 ppl at all times

3.)um... yes

dudes, correct me if I\'m wrong, but if they make the code available to everyone, won\'t it be damn near impossible to make it p2p? I mean, if they made the code free to use, then told everyone that they had to pay just to play the game, I\'d think that free servers would pop up everywhere...

Johnny Depp\'s a poser to the throne. No one will ever play the part as well as Gene Wilder
