• • PLEASE, PLEASE adopt the WOW approch to PVP

  • Just read what the developers have stated about the PvP idea for Jumpgate.  They want an open PvP 'frontier', they just haven't finalized the details for the 'core' sectors near the faction homeworlds.    I think all the posts about 'do what *I* want or your game will fail' are silly,  Netdevil has a plan for the game, and you don't work for NetDevil.  Go read developer posts on the official JGE forums if you wanna see what's really going on.

    same idea behind eve? hope it is

    Depends on which idea you're looking at.  Its in Space, like Eve and you can play different roles, like cargo hauler, miner, fighter.  But besides that, its very different from EVE.  In EVE you have a character that you 'train' to get specific skills/specials.  Jumpgate doesn't have Character skills.  Flying and fighting is all about PLAYER skills.  Jumpgate is a Space Flight Sim, like Freelancer, Wing Commander, Freespace, etc.  You don't have a skill tool bar and you don't get Rank 10 fireball or rank 5 Afterburner :) .  You can gain certificates to use different ships and you have a profile with stats like kills, deaths, medals you've earned and your faction standings.  There is equipment and ship variety, scouts, bombers, fighters, miners, transports, newbie shuttle  :)

• • I really hope the creators of this game are gonna try real hard.

  • Earth and Beyond was a point and click game.  Like World of Warcraft, Everquest, etc.  You had a toolbar for skills and you didn't really fly so much as 'move'.  Jumpgate is a Space Combat Sim, like Freelancer, Wing Commander, Freespace, etc.  You can get a 14 day free trial of the original Jumpgate at www.jossh.com.  You can also read all about Jumpgate Evolution at www.jumpgateevolution.com.  The stuff on this site barely scratches the surface.

• • Where do I know NetDevil from?

  • Actually, this is the company that DEVELOPED AutoAssault, but NCSoft was the publisher/investor and therefore had alot of control over release dates.  Its generally accepted that NCSoft drove AutoAssault into the ground for releasing before it was really ready.

     

    NetDevil developed Jumpgate and now JGE without outside influences.

• • Horrible community

  • Just have to say, low post count, but someone flaming a community because their own attitude isn't appreciated is just dirty.
