    us old time veterans will be sitting in the tavern looking at these war mad newbies with their 1000 player cvc battles in years to come, reminiscing about the good old days when you had to get your lazy ass out of the ship to avatar vs avatar to destroy the ship.

    GrandMaster Apex got a reaction from Hotwingz in Organisation Logotype / emblem   
    I am not one to be negative on forum topics, however I do feel this is one of the most ridiculous posts I have actually bothered to read to its conclusion.
     
    What you are suggesting is discrimination - Fact .. You are stopping freedom within a game that is titled to be a MMO sandbox game that is trying to break the realms of current gaming restraints to allow freedom to players on a whole new level. As such it is only logical that any organization, of any size should be able to brand themselves a logo. Players who specialize in contract work will require a logo as believe it or not, a logo is usually the basis of most advertising and awareness of service. Contract work requires 1 player, they may be a specialized miner who loans their service to organizations for a high rate, it may be a specialized architect or script writer, why would a LUA scriptwriter need 10 members if they can script? Why would an architect need 10 players to make a design? why would a pilot need a crew of 10 members to fly a 2 man ship? and why should they need 10 members to have a logo to give themselves their individuality?
     
    What happens in the later game, when new players find it hard to recruit members but want to start their own organization and have their own identity associated with it? It is very likely that a lot of players may want to have a player design a logo for them as they struggle to do it themselves, leading to a very lucrative in game business if it is in high demand. Why should this business be limited to just big orgz?
     
    The system does not need moderators to check logos every time one is designed do you not think NQ have more important things to be doing? Just as players can build offensive designs in the game that will be tagged and can be reported, the same will apply to the logo. It would be tagged with the players name who created it and when reported the moderators will review and issue necessary punishments.
     
    its very selfish and narrow minded and many players in the community may be silent about this, but small organizations have a voice and they deserve to be equal, given respect and freedom just like any other.

    The I.B.O is looking to start talks with any and all organizations planning to build a starting city/metropolis inside the starting zone in hopes we as a community can come together and build something coordinated and spectacular to leave a lasting impression in DU for all new players to come.
     
    Please contact me if you have ideas, plans or wish to get involved in some way. I imagine it will not be an easy task at the start and we will need to come together. It will be a great way to learn and understand the scope of such tasks and what will be required for when you go at it alone.

    Hello Everyone! I'm MasteredRed and I have an announcement to make for all of you here.

     

    Recently, I discussed with my representatives a number of actions that can be made, and in those discussions, we decided upon two things.

     

    One: To make Dominar Director of the Military Corps or MC-Director. He has done a great job presenting that and you can see the work he has put forth.

     

    The Military Corps structure is as follows. There are four Branches to the MC, two of which known as the Terrestrial Military Force or MC-TMF and the United Space Navy or MC-USN. Each of these Branches has a number of Divisions that specialize in Combat, Vehicular mobilization, and plenty more for the Branches I'm not discussing.

     

    Dominar has full discretion over each of these and he has done an excellent job. Well done for him promoting the Military Corps expansion and structure!



     

     

    I have something else to announce. You probably figured it out by the title, but we are releasing the DUA Discord channel to the public. It's about due time that we did this, and we're doing so to prevent future leaks.

     

    It's not something that we needed to do, but more of something that we want to do. Feel free to join us and chat. You'll have access to all the regular channels and can converse with our members.

    This link allows you to join, but once you disconnect, you'll have to rejoin again. 

     

    Thank you everyone!

     

    Director

    GrandMaster Apex got a reaction from Dygz_Briarthorn in Joining More than One Organization?   
    I feel it also adds to the emergent game play, as smaller orgz band together to form a bigger organization with its own political structures while still being individual and able to run their own operations.
     
    organizations can be whatever you want them to be. I like the fact you can have your own organization and be part of another.

    I just want everyone to be sure about what they are signing up for before they join alpha and start to give the game a bad name when its not what they are expecting. It shouldn't be about carrying things over, to be honest we can do all of that in beta. Also as to how much of the game is even going to be ready is unknown. It may not be that we can do much in alpha compared to beta. They need to test a lot of things.

    also alpha is not about making blueprints, its about finding bugs for closed beta . alpha is not going to be a way to play the game, it is very much the unfinished game, and thinking it is going to be anything else may ruin it for you. Please do not think alpha is going to be anything like what the game on launch will be, you should not opt in to alpha unless you are 100% committed to just making the game playable

    GrandMaster Apex got a reaction from Muttley in Dual Access Coupons - how will they work?   
    More info about Dual Universe monetization model!
    Hi guys! Already 135,354€ and 27% covered! This is amazing! We can’t thank you enough guys, thank you for your support!
    So, this is the first update, and we wanted to bring some light on one important point. There has been a lot of discussion recently about the monetization of Dual Universe, and the question of the subscription model. Let us clarify here what we have in mind, so that you can see all the options we will offer:
    Free to Try “trial” access: there will be a free to try access to Dual Universe, with limitations on things like how much skill, money and/or space you can access to. The details of the limitations are not yet defined precisely, but it will be made such that you can enjoy the game and have a taste of its large scale potential. Pay to Play “premium” access at a price at launch that we will keep in the range of comparable products on the market (typically around $10-$13/month or 10€-13€/month depending on the country), decreasing when bought in large bundles: this is the full scale game, with no limitation. DAC access: Dual Access Coupons are items that you can buy on the in-game markets with the in-game money you make while playing, and that you can turn into one month of Premium play time. You can also buy a DAC from Novaquark to sell it on the in-game market in exchange of in-game currency. DACs will have a price of $18/€18 at official release (for reference, items similar to DACs used in other MMORPGs are priced around $20/€20). Alpha/Beta access: no subscription involved. As you can notice, the real money price of a DAC will be higher than the normal price of one month of subscription, which may have caused confusion as some people, quite understandingly, assumed that the monthly premium sub would cost as much as a DAC. This is not the case.
    We hope this helps clarify our future business model. The reasoning behind the choice of a Pay to Play premium access has been discussed in detail in a devblog post about monetization that we made in April.
