I am fully aware of what the difference is. I never said "Game" engine. I am fully aware of what I read, and what blazemonger confirmed.

So I was right, they did write the engine. Thanks for clarifying. I knew I had read that and "did my research" somewhere. I know I'm old, but I'm not that old... yet.

I totally agree with this. And it really does take a LOT of work, AND TIME.

I see, so the original announcement I saw on it a couple years ago, about them making new tech, as the first to hold 30K players is wrong then. Thanks for the info.

Since you brought this up, I will clarify something here. Under normal circumstances, a game company can push a game out in about 6 years. Give or take. That is about the average. But those companies use engines that are already made. DU is based off a completely new technology, and thus, a new engine. So it's going to take quite a lot longer to produce something. I'm actually impressed at how far they actualy have come with the creation of this engine from scratch. With this knowledge, they came into this thinking one way, and over time they realized they had to change a few things. And this is why they put the info into the Terms of Service that things could change. The players should know this if they bothered to read the TOS. And to what you are saying that you "know things". You really don't. You only know what you have seen as a player, NOT as a developer. So you have no clue what really is going on behind the scenes. SHOULD NQ be more transparent ? YES. That much I definately can agree on. So I get the frustration there. But everything else, you all knew what you were getting into when you signed up.

I'm in agreement with you on this point. I would never have called DU a "BETA ready game". In my experience, DU should still be considered in an ALPHA state.

I would curious to see how this would turn out if they did put a limit on org count. You make a good point here.

Exactly my point. The haters just need to move on with their lives. All they are showing is their true agenda.

Well if you all hate the game this much ? Why do you all bother to play ? That is what makes no sense here. Move on if you don't like the game. It's as simple as that. EDIT : Just to clarify, most here probably didn't read the Terms of Service. You are in EARLY ACCESS. There WILL be changes, bugs and other issues that the game developers have to change / fix. IT EVEN SAYS THIS IN THE TOS. And if you are not here to submit bugs to get the game running right, then don't bother playing. It's that simple. It's NOT released yet. So all this griping does nothing. Move on if you don't like the game. Come back when it's released. Obviously you all CLEARLY do not understand what it means to be an ALPHA / BETA tester. HOWEVER, if you can be constructive, that is different. Tell the developers what the problems are by submitting a ticket. Spam them with if needed... eventually they will reply. I didn't get a reply for any of my tickets, until just couple days ago. But they DID read it and they are sorting it. How do I know ? It was the way they replied is how I know. As a developer myself, I see and understand what they are trying to do. And that doesn't includes the hundreds if not thousands of bug reports that DO get submitted. Bottom line, the Devs are not going to sit and read these comments on every forum post. They don't have that kind of time. So YOU MUST submit tickets if you are unhappy. Explain to them why you are unhappy in a ticket. And if you don't want to submit a ticket, telling them your issues in a calm manner, THEN you obviously are just a hater. Move on with your life.

Actually, if you recall, I almost didn't play the game, and it was you that convinced me to try it. And what did I say was the reason I almost didn't play ? "That DU channel is toxic". And your reply to my was "Ignore them, they are just bitter.". I honestly don't see the difference, since their whole attitude is driving new players away. That TOXIC attitude, is HOW the game will fail. Remember how I asked you a simple question, and you replied with an honest answer that worked ? And if you recall, I asked that same question in the DU Discord, and what did I get back ? A lot of bad answers that were deliberate wrong answers. On top of comments that were intentionally written to drive a player away from DU. If that is not toxic, I don't know what is.

Good job.

Submit a ticket to NQ and let them know what's going on.

It's not down, I'm in it now. I even logged out and just logged back in no problem. So you must be doing something wrong.

Cool, have fun. I'm off to play.

I'm not sure what your talking about. I'm having fun with this game. Where did I say I'm not having fun ?

All I see is venting. It happens. You can look in any game, and see posts from unhappy players. But you can also see happy players from the same game. So what your posting is a moot point. Bottom line though, if the new players are paying, and they like the game, then NQ can keep working. Once the money runs out, because people are running off new players, then say bye bye to DU. You're choice.

If you did the complete update of the client, you will see a big PLAY button on the bottom right. It will then take you to the normal client to log in with. It might error out the first time. It did that to me. I had to reboot the computer, because of the libraries they installed were from Microsoft. ( Edge libraries ) Once I rebooted I could log in normally.

Not sure what you're getting at, but as a new player, I'm happy to see this game improve graphically.

They did say they are not finished with it all yet. So give it time my friend. As for building / re-building, that's half the fun of this game. I don't mind it.

They already brought this to everyone's attention. Read their release-notes. They are trying to standardize, which is very needed. They even said that you would most likely need to rebuild. So for many of us, this was to be expected. EDIT : The terrain changes are also great. Sure I see some hiccups, but it's all a step in the right direction.

Yes the server just came up.

No one is saying it will garantee success. But it's a start. It's the negativity that runs potential PAYING players off that is a problem. I almost left myself do to that. And to beat a dead horse, people have gotten refunds and bragged about it. You said yourself, "high churn rates". In otherwords, it's ALWAYS about the money. Every decision a game company makes is about money.

Well crap, server just went down again. LOL

Ya, notice.. it says 0.23 is offline...... once you are updated to 0.24.... then it will be live.
