The problem is - outside of handful cases where the game is made by 1 or 2 people - not even indie mmorpgs companies that have 20-30 total employees can survive off 1000 concurrent users max for a long …
In regards to Cliqist's videos, the first two were mostly accurate, however the third is completely off the rails, moving from facts to a clearly negatively biased opinion.
Not to say that there is anything wrong with an opinion, however labeling t…
I haven't purchased an EA game since Battlefield 3, and I'm certainly not going to anytime soon. In fact, I've alerted all of my uninformed gaming friends to these events. Hopefully, none of them will give EA their hard-earned dollars, either. Recen…
...[F]or marketing purposes it sounds better they made 126 million this month. But it should be made clear to backers we are not even close to having that amount left. It also shouldn't automatically be understood.
Given the headlines that t…

Your bias is causing you to miss an entire point. The company pretending that product is right around the corner when in fact its years away. Yes th…
It seems to me, most of the negativity stems from idle speculation, and cognitive bias. And as such time until they can present stone cold facts, and most specifically a financial statement proving how much money CIG has actually collected and spent…

Ship prices are on the increase and are doing very well. That should stretch things out a bit. People are still buying lots of ships with no signs of that slowing down. People really like the videos which bring in more peop…
There is at least one thing that hasn't been done before at this level of depth, which I think is a definitive achievement.
Synchronized Local Physics Grids

I'm still a believer, and understand that every developer goes through setbacks and problems, but CIG has at least two extra ones. Firstly, they are (or were) a startup studio, which presents its own teething problems. Finding the proper cadence, ge…
It stands to reason, that many in these forums, and those throughout the internet have made up their minds that the game will fail. So how many of you are DS alts?
Yes, CIG have done some bone-headed things, but I'm no where near the point of contr…
Being a backer for over three years now, all I can say is that I'm very pleased with the progress CIG has made. I don't have specific knowledge of every tiny detail involved in development, but what I have seen through Around the Verse, Reverse the …

The AI, as they admit, is still in early stages. All of the NPCs were likely built directly into their play area. They are not responding dynamically to their environment. This means the developer would have to spend a lot of time …
1). Crafting System - I have yet to come across a crafting system that was as detailed, intricate, or which allowed for so much invention and variety. The only thing that comes close is The Repopulation, but I'm not too sure about that game overall.…
Originally posted by Trekkan It's not like they are asking for a ton of cash... they are only asking half of my personal salary per year. That hardly pays for a ton of development work, software licencing, artists, designers, etc...

Originally posted by 7imelord Here's my speculation to balance the thread title.
You know why this game won't be a EPIC fail, because EA isn't involved with this game.
Quoted for Truth!
First of all, I just want to thank the REPOP developers for attempting to create a sandbox, when even the word is derided and shunned. And I believe the questing system as mentioned in JC's reply will work just fine for its intended audience.
