wow.. u found that twitch had another meaning and had to put it in here.. yes its a brain disorder.
But means also, and I quote : "Twitch gameplay is a type of computer or video gameplay that tests a player's reaction time and precision. Action games such as first-person shooters are typically composed of twitch gameplay. However, other genres can involve twitch gameplay as well. For example, Tetris is a puzzle video game that gradually speeds up as the player makes progress. Twitch gameplay keeps players actively engaged with quick feedback to their actions, as opposed to turn-based gaming that involves waiting for the outcome of a chosen course of action. Twitch can be used to expand tactical options and play, test skill in various areas (usually reflexive responses) and generally add difficulty (relating to the intensity of "twitching" required). A game that rewards reflexes over tactics, strategy, and problem-solving is sometimes called a twitch game." Hey dont blame yourself, you probably dont know anything but EvE/WoW type of gameplay.. |

In the original game, levels didnt mean much more then just accessibility to more guns and ships etc.. PVP was mostly about how well you flew and aimed. And no intancing in real space.. just a simulator that wont affect the outside world iirc. Sign up for beta at their website. Jumpgateevolution.com |

I got the impression that AI in Jumpgate Evolution will fill basic Player roles.. so I think there will be AI mining.. transporting, patroling, killing bad guys...
But I also got impression that it will be balanced.. so if there are alot of players mining, there wont be need for AI to mine.. and so on..
But nothing about Players having their own AI to mine for them.. that would be a Big NO NO. |

and then :
Ten Ton Hammer: How will players receive missions in the game? Will it be via an in-game communication system (commlink type equipment) or will they need to find an NPC with a floating golden exclamation point above their head? http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/25925 And.. dont bother asking to many questions on this forum.. its full of wannabe knowitalls, trolls. go to jumpgateevolution.com for more specific answers.

Ehm.. Jumpgate Evolution is a mmorpg.. so ofcourse it will have the basic elements that most mmorpgs have.
What you highlightet as being similar to Eve can also be found in almoust all mmo's. I mean have you played a mmo without combat, trading, mining, crafting? all have atlest one of these elements.
Yeah, ofcourse it takes some kind of skill to play EvE (Patience of Shaolin Munks) but thats not the same Skill when you play Jumpgate Evolution.. Its FPS. Now lets not derail this to My p is bigger then your p.
So whats wrong in making it start out like WoW? thats 100 better then the EvE tutorial. Still it doesnt have to play like WoW just cause it starts Easy. Ofcourse its better.. Subscribers WoW > Subs EvE. But I dont like neither of them.
PVP servers is not like old Jumpgate.. Jumpgate Classic has PVP tags, regulated and unregulated space and instanced battleground aka Simulator. Eve Fleet battle < JG fleet battle. |

If I was owner of this game and company I would kicked everyone in FUNcom in the ass. There is no excuse to give the public such crappy experience with the product you are trying to sell. It seems like most MMO companies never learned some basic buisness rules. IT seems like they are controlled by some nerds who have no prior experience in the buisness world. Just ask your self. Would you buy a car that did not preform as it was ment to? I have had enough of half ass finnished mmo's.. If you can't make it play, don't make it at all. |

Its very old, but there isnt anything like it, It wont cost you anything to try. and will give you a taste of Flight Physics of Jumpgate Evolution. IMO its worth a try.. and if you do, ask for help online, very helpfull community to noobs.

I played Open Beta from Day 1.. Most fun I had in any Beta I tried. After it went retail it was not so crowded.. But there is not one MMORPG that gave the players so much freedom. Politics and Roleplay were just amazing:D

Can't wait to play this game again. Oh.. dont forget to add lots of trees. |

I only know that Jumpgate Classic was heavly on Player run RP. And community never looked down on RP. If the game will bring lolers or whatever, sure.. but its up to the community to decide what kind of game it will be. KOS lists are what kept away most idiots.

Played this game a long time ago.. The atmosphere was great! It really immersed me in the scifi theme:) But I never understood what it was about.. where the storyline went.. And to much content.. I didnt know what was what.. lol overall great game, but it takes time to learn things. |

I found this presentation (powerpoint) from GDC by Netdevil. http://static.netdevil.com/cms-images/gdc2008_brown_scott_small_teams_big_dreams.ppt
Its very relevant to this topic and shows costs, percentage of succes, typical number of mmos in development and so on.

ncsoft pulled the plug. it was mostly their game. Netdevil is certenly one of the best mmo developers out there.. You can say AA was a dissaster, and therefore everything that comes from Netdevil would be. But would a company like LEGO, known for quality in their products, hire Netdevil to make Lego universe? Now, give me the name of one developer who has more then 1 mmo and 100% succesrate.

did that in JG classic.. Its called roiding.. park ur ship very close to a roid and u will dissapear from radar. There was just one bug with it, AI could see you, so you had to kill them or they would give away ur position. was very useful if u was gonna ambush unsuspecting targets. |
