Well, because the game tends to lean towards a multi-account game play, doesn't have anything to do with mmorpg.com multi accounts. I just don't see the leap in your logic since they are separate system/sites.

Thanks

If you can't see the connection(s) perhaps GM/Mod isn't your specialty? I mean, you had to know what was going on, I've seen it talked about in chat as well and people just "lol'd" when you asked them to come to this site and hype the game up. Now a normal lol wouldn't mean anything, but when it is followed by "time to fire up the alt accounts" or something along those lines...it's kinda suspicious. even to a newcomer. 

I'm sure you can search the chat logs, I haven't the time and even so, they are standard text files easily altered. It's not a leap, its just a simple observation.

Wait are you now saying I said this in game "go hype the game up at mmorpg.com."?

If so I did not say anything in game about go hype the game up and if people are talking about firing up alts in game then it is just that. In game alts for industry, combat etc.

So I still don't get how this leads to people using multi accounts on mmorpg.com. It isn't a matter of me having a specialty for GM/Mod you are now using personal attacks to try and get your logic or observation of in game chat, about firing up alts to mean they were getting on multi alt acounts here at mmorpg.com.

Sorry, but your logic is a reach.

It sounds more like you don't like the game.

So what is it like when you are in a heavy mech?  What is the difference in size between the starter mini-robot and the heavy assault robot?

The mechs and Heavy Mechs are much bigger then the bots and stand on two legs like a mech should. Yes while they are bigger then the bots there are hills and terrain that still are bigger.

The first time you get into a mix battle of bots and Mechs for their specific roles you will see why the game scale is done the way it is... The terrain comes into play for pvp....

Just to clarify a little.  We are actually ok with devs encouraging their site visitors to come to MMORPG.com and have their opinion on the game be heard (or any fan site, etc).  The only reason this particular instance crossed a line (and it barely crossed the line) was the part about asking to get the score up to an 8.0 or better - this pretty much instructs how to vote (obviously voting below a score of 8.0 will not help the goal that the GM set).

We have had other developers setup contests and reward people (even with in game currency) for submitting high reviews/hypes and this is strictly forbidden and we generally take much harsher action.  In this occurence we set back all hype scores from the date of the post on the Perpetuum offiial boards and have temporarily halted hyping on this game.  We aplogize to all those who placed legit hypes in this timeframe, as you will have to re-submit your score when this is re-activated.

Thanks for the post and where the status of this sits currently.

Correct, and lesson learned. Must be very careful about the way I post things and the wording. I really did not mean for people to make multi accounts.

Thanks for the constructive input on my mistakes.

It's easy to be misunderstood. Especially on a fourm that promotes multiple accounts as a standard for gameplay. I can see where the user thought it may be helpful.

This remind me of the Runes of Magic thing and the readers choice awards lol. The runes of magic devs were blasting players with tweets, in game messages, announcements etc. Even rewarding them lol. They tried to justify it by saying that Aion put on it's website a message about the readers choice awards asking players to vote lol. Not exactly the same. 

 

This is a bit more than saying on the games website "Hey, if you enjoy Perpetuum make sure to rate it on MMORPG.com". Asking players to help you get it to 8.0 or higher is an open invitation for multiple accounts and etc. Players tend to be zealots when it comes to their game of choice at times. 

 

As a GM or a Dev or even just a community liaison you must always keep that in mind. Many of these players are young and you are basically exploiting their naivety and enthusiasm with a request like that. 

 

Whether it was intentional or not I don't know, but in case it wasn't do keep this in mind for future reference.

So? Every game does this, Rift, swtor every game out there. And he is not a dev, he is a gm, he bears the same guilt as every other random guy posting the same thread on other games forums. Give him a break, shall you?

If we knew what he posted, then removed, about the other forum user abusing this system by using alternate accounts to add hype maybe things would be alright? It might also clear up some of these elaborate consipracy theories that are being conjured up.

The post I remove was me making a comment to said Perpetuum player "Nice, LOL" then later realized he may not be kidding. I have no way of proving that said user/player even hyped the game incorrectly. For all I know it was hyped by more players coming into the game since it went Open Beta.

Unfortunate. Now I can't help but think that the Dev's just feel the public is no more then cattle, and will buy the game just cause other people are.

Not interested. Hype of 0

This is not the case at all. The DEV team has nothing to do with this and I am not a DEV. I am a GM and that is it. I do not work for the creators of the game. I am a volunteer GM.

Hello,

I would like to apologize to the mmorpg.com community managers for this mix up. While I had posted a thread asking for Perpetuum players to help me to get the hype up on the game, I would like to point out that I never once told anyone how to vote.

Once again I would like to apologize to the mmorpg.com community managers, users and the Perpetuum dev team for my mistake.

Thanks

GM Gremrod

I was never a mission runner in EVE. I can count the amount of times I did missions.. I think. :) I also hated rating for isk in EVE.

While the assignment system in Perpetuum is pretty close to the mission system in EVE, you may not like that side of it. But straight out npc hunting is much more fun in Perpetuum for me than ratting in EVE ever was.

The PVP in Perpetuum is awesome. And once you get into your first fight you will see how different it is then EVE.

PVP is a blast and they do have outposts that corps can fight over for control with what is called the intrusion system. 

Later on corps will be able to build there own outposts/base etc. and also be able to terraform the area.

Game goes like the following...

Character pilots a robot or mech. No human character just a picture avatar.

Player can run missions, mine,  and farm game currency, kernels and perform industry manufacturing, prototyping, and reverse engineer items while you waut for your Extension Point Pool (EP) to build up EP that can be used to further the progression of your character. 

All of that and I didn't even talk about the PVP you can do on the beta islands that have outpost for corps to fight over control of them.....

Can't use payapl?

Woot Woot! \o/ Awesome!

This game has been open beta for a while now. They had an auto-approval processes for signing up at their site 5 months ago. That is NOT closed beta. 

Open or closed beta, the game is still very very bad. 

That's your opinion.

My own opinion is that the basics of the game are quite good.

They have a nice sized game world, a market, a good mission system and pvp.

Everything else will be added overtime just like every other game.

 

Don't forget they have a territory control system too. Corporations can fight for control of outposts on the pvp islands. :)

If you were not part of the closed beta. I invite you all to check it out on 10/18. The game is a blast! Fun for all play styles.

The two games cannot even be compared.......

my 2 cents

Press Release - October 6, 2010

AVATAR CREATIONS ANNOUNCES OPEN BETA AND EARLY ACCESS PHASES FOR THEIR
OPEN WORLD ONLINE ROLE PLAYING GAME, PERPETUUM

Free for all testing of Perpetuum will begin on the 18th of October, 2010.
2010 October 6, Budapest - Avatar Creations Limited has today
announced that after one and a half years of closed testing, the
publicly available Open Beta testing of the persistent world Massively
Multiplayer Online Game Perpetuum will begin on the 18th of October,
2010. During the Open Beta phase players from all around the world
will be welcome to play Perpetuum and explore the alien planet of Nia.

Early Access

Perpetuum will be available for early subscription after the start of
the Open Beta phase. Players with Early Access subscriptions will be
able to enter and play the game once the Open Beta phase has ended,
one full week before the official launch. Early Access subscriptions
will include 30 days of playtime and will be priced at 9.95€. The
exact date of when early subscriptions will be available and more
information on the Early Access period and official launch date of the
game will be announced at a later time.

About Perpetuum

In the sci-fi world of Perpetuum players engage in exploring the alien
planet of Nia with huge robots. Remotely controlling these robots from
Earth, players are thrown into a foothold situation where they need to
build a stable economy while battling the natives and rogue human
agents, all in order to supply Earth with precious energy.

Key game features

-Completely open, persistent game world on a single server
All the players in Perpetuum play in the same unsharded world, and the
actions of players have permanent consequences which can only be
changed by other players or the natural physics of the game world.

-Highly scalable combat
Fights in Perpetuum can range from one on one to whole armies battling
it out, and thousands of items and versatility of the game world
guarantee no two fights will be alike.
-Complex crafting system
Perpetuum features an advanced item crafting system ranging from
mining raw materials and gaining knowledge to the mass production of
items. Players will be able to reverse engineer technology found in
the wild and even build special prototype items with the knowledge
they amass over time.

-Player driven market
All game systems in Perpetuum have been built towards the goal to rely
on each other, thereby creating constant supply and demand between the
players of different specializations and encouraging trade between
players.
-Time based character progression
Experience in Perpetuum is gained over time on each active account,
even when the player isn't logged in the game. Extension points gained
this way can be used to purchase skills on any character on the
account.

-A living world
The environment on Nia is one that is constantly changing. Plantlife
is fighting for territory while large battles leave barren wastelands
where a forest of alien vegetation used to stand. Minerals in the
ground require regular scans to find, and later even the face of the
planet will be deformable by players as they start building their own
settlements.
