I can't comprehend playing an MMO with no population regardless of how good it is. Whats the point?

Well, my position is that if there are people who dont' mind a small population (me) but are willing to help others AND if there are more people like that then evenutally people will join the game, meet good people who are willing to help and be there for them and then more and more people will join and build on that community.

It's not for everyone but I think it's a valid way to play and help build community.

If you are happy more power to you.

 Think End Dream is a little jealous ;)

yup, may aswell play a better single player

POTBS really? never did like it

probably correct; but, if you can beat my chickens teeth I'll agree

Roma, whats this about?

haha glad your bollox have finally dropped ;) 

no-one knows it is not out yet...

why so quiet?

is this really a game for couples?

well just spilled the bugger in my lap.  And also put Delta Goodrum on, must be pissed?

Oh dont worry it would, I wanted the prehistoric world to seem familiar but alien as well. Keep that "cool, look there are  dinosaurs" feel while still offering plenty of "what the hell is that" moments.

I already know my first expansion would probably be an area were hostile aliens have landed ships to rape & pillage the planets natural resources and intend to destroy the planet in the process. Since its your new home you would need to stop them.

Alternatively this could be in at launch with factional sides for players to choose human or alien.

 I assume you would have genetically engineered humans full of Nano's friendly or otherwise?

I had considered nano tech from the AO experience but they had it more like magic which wasnt so great. Nanotech to me would be more like upgrades, buffs & maybe a healer class.

genetically modified/engineered humans I had in my first post as a "player race/s". Thinking about it more now I have somewhat changed my mind.

Races:

Human - straight forward human.

Gene Enhanced Human - Using surgery to implant vat grown organs and recombinant DNA gene technology these humans have been enhanced to help them perform at a higher level in zeroG and alien environments, performing under low oxygen conditions, and a variety of other environments. They are still human just enhanced. Their weakness is the implants and gene therapy make it harder for them to heal from injuries.

Neo Sapien - Or new Human, the next step on from gene enhanced, this new race has been genetically engineered from scratch & were created for hard labour. They have all the advantages of the gene enhanced human but they are also bigger and stronger with natural dermal plating for portection and the ability to breathe under water among other things. Originally a slave race the remaining Neo Sapiens of the colony ship have been granted their freedom to help themselves and the rest of the survivors carve out a home on the primitive New Earth. Their one weakness is they lack creative thought and are not very independant as a result.

 It was a joke, nano's could never differentiate between good and bad cells, the whole thing was a joke... You can improve the genes they have, make them more cancer proof, but the cell death will always outsrip renewal and they will always die

thats it.

why thank you pink bunny, probably two beers too late.

Well - "prehistoric" does NOT mean "no language".

For all we know, man knew language for at least very least tens of thousands of years. In fact, our language apparatus is so sophisticated that at least hundreds of thousands, more likely some millions of years are much more likely. We dont know if homo erectus could already speak, but given the level of specialization our speaking apparatus has, its likely that they did and that it was a huge advantage and an important part of the reason why humans developed such large brains.

However, mankind until recently didnt knew the idea of scripture, or at least not lasting scripture (they might have written on leather etc, but not on stone).

There is also the issue of lost languages. The Maya knew script, but nobody can read it.

Otherwise I find little appeal in a prehistoric MMO. I simply fail to see many possibilities what to do.

 Please don't, I have had more than a days worth of ignorance and googlism.  Please ignore it.

Otherwise I'm letting the decisions of others make my choices.

And that's just plain nutty.

Except for the fact that we are talking about games in which other players make up the majority of tha play experince.

Nice "holier than thou" attitude, but it simply doesn't apply to all MMOs.  Most of them you need other people to reap the spoils of the game.

it has nothign to do with a holier than thou attitude but nice try.

If I let other players decisions make my decions then I'm at the whim of "you".

sorry but "you" don't get to decide what I play. I've played/tried a good many mmo's and I've yet to run into any issues playing on my terms. Then again, I'm not a wow player as I found the game well done but not to my taste. So maybe that's what you are talking about? Getting gear so I can do harder raids to get better gear? or not, as I've said I've tried most games and have had fun on my terms without getting on any treadmills that I didn't want to get on.

And since I don't play for "gear" but for the experience of the world and the lore, story, etc then I'm not at the mercy of having to get into some group for uber loot.

You might find that holier than thou but I find it emancipating.

 I can't believe that 'holier than thou' attitude... Joke so don't get all verbally ninja on my arse

I will be interested to see how the population goes when the F2P option launches in a few months.

 I think the world is just too big mate.  People get lonely and bored.  They fucked up on the drawing board.

you mean why not long term future after all records of us are gone?

You need not to have a registered account. Just click the link and read the message.
Or open their site, click Account -> Log in -> Forgotten password

Seriously? That is astounding. That's like one of the first things you setup before you even release your game. Sometimes before you even have a game to release and you just have a hype website.

Every time I try to play it gets worse.

I pick up a mission to kill giant bugs, leave the compound and the game will not let me enter combat mode. I just get a system message that says, "You cannot enter combat mode in a demilitarized area." or something similar to that. Standing next to me is another player happily shooting away at the bug that is killing me and knocking me around.

It's ironic that find such a bug in a mission to kill giant bugs.

If you are one of the few people who have fun playing this game, more power to you. I'm glad you found a game you like. I don't think there are going to be too many people joining you.

 lizard, I really wanna a refund on this.  If I could afford a solicitor I would in a moment because it is faulse advertising.  Have never been more annoyed about a game.

---

At least I'm playing a free trial. I would actually be angry if I had only spent the $14.99 on Steam to buy the game. That's probably about 3 British Pounds right now...maybe 6 Euros. :-) But still. I'm not sure how they should advertise the game, but 'Greatest Sandbox Experience Ever' isn't it.

They really should have nixed building a giant world (and I believe it really is a big world) and spent that money on the game engine and their servers.

Le sigh. A Wild 'World of Tanks' Appears!

 

 We devalued our pound to boost exports which is what greece. portugal, spain and ireland (near bust) cannot do which means it costs us a hell of a lot to pay in euro's.

Logical since most of Mythic was merged into Bioware in 2009.

 Oooh smarty pants
