Hi,
I'm old, I'm Bill and I'm from the UK. My philosophy in life has been finely honed over the years, it can be summed up as "Hope for intelligence, plan for incontinence". I've been around a few other MMOs etc. Notably Anarchy Online, LOTRO, NMS. This one sounds like it could be where I end up for the long haul. I look forward to meeting with many of you, hopefully not as a target in your crosshairs.

I'm observing your activity for some time and must admin, I really enjoy quality of content. Its really something to take notice and use as positive exemple.

Hi all, new to DU, but have been lurking for a long time. Seems like the right time to jump in... Except for the 10 day offline period. Joined yesterday and played long enough to get hooked and am really excited to see where this goes. Caught up on the podcast and like what is to come. Excited to be a part of this-
 
Happy to help however I can. My gf and I will be working together as we figure things out. Look forward to meeting some of you.

 

Give your dreams wings and let them take flight. 
We'll help make them a reality;
Fly with us. 
Trust is;

I think theoreticly this is 100% possible/workable (as long fees are reasonable and reputation is upheld).
 
Yet, it will be hard. Most painful challenge is obviously security -- such banks (literaly full of ore!) will be prime target for attack, both open highway/bank robbery and to inside infiltration with scammy mole-empoyees (this even worse, honestly).
 
You really need to think about security protocols and safe systems like super hard, brainstorm it like hell.
 
May be it will be good idea to have empoyees to give you their own ore as garantee, proportional of what they more or lese operate, so they have no profit at least stealing something directly. They can have it back when quit. And never give anyone withdraw rights for central depository (if its not like your real life friend), even if you think this is some really nice guy. People can wait for years to scam you in such games.
 
So I wish you all possible luck to succed! I will be very glad to see it working.
 
 
 

Issuing promises to pay on demand in excess of the amount of goods on hand is simply fraud, and should be so considered by the legal system. For this means that a bank issues “fake” warehouse receipts — warehouse receipts, for example, for liters of kergon that do not actually exist in the vaults. This is legalized counterfeiting; this is the creation of money without the necessity for production, to compete for resources against those who have produced. In short, I believe that fractional-reserve banking is disastrous both for the morality and for the fundamental bases and institutions of the Novean market economy.

Fractional-reserve banks, especially when organized under a central bank, can and do create and then destroy money, distorting and impoverishing the Novean and the economy in their wake. 

I therefore advocate as the soundest monetary system and the only one fully compatible with the free market and with the absence of force or fraud from any source a 100 percent kergon standard. This is the only system compatible with the fullest preservation of the rights of property. It is the only system that assures the end of inflation and, with it, of the business cycle.

CRYSTAL BANK OF HELIOS
Greetings! I am Crystal Emperor, CEO of Crystal Corporation.
We are looking for active players to help us open first ever bank in dual universe the CRYSTAL BANK OF HELIOS.
Our organisation is very young, so you can climb our organisational hierarchy pretty easily atm. 
 
OUR BUSINESS MODEL
Our business model is very simple.We will have branches on different planet across helios system.
Miners and players can deposit ores into any branch and withdraw ores from any branch.
Hence they would not need to worry about getting looted by pirates and enemy orgs after mining expeditions.
We will charge certain percentage of ore as processing fee at the time of deposit.
 
WHAT ROLES YOU CAN PLAY IN CRYSTAL BANK
You can become Branch Manager, Branch Cashier, Security Gaurd,  Building designers, Recruiter,  Customer Care etc.
 
==>>If we intrigued you enough then JOIN OUR DISCORD TO APPLY TODAY : https://discord.gg/xavm9nr <<==

Our organizational structure is also straightforward at the moment.
We will operate branches on different planet with branch managers, branch cashiers, security guards and supporting staffs.
We will also operate a builders department concerned with the design of the fortifications of our branches.
We will operate a central reserve in a safe zone holding atleast "ore = 25% of the total deposited ore" to avoid bankruptcy in case of any unfortunate incident such as raid or employee fraud.
Rest 75% of deposit is backed by collateral given to depositors.
Since we are currently providing very elementary banking services, we don't compulasarily need people with high level of financial or accounting knowledge atm.However, we would be grateful if people with such knowledge join us.
I am an entrepreneur so i know basic accounting.Enough to operate our bank at current level.
We will also operate a mercenary department to scale our forces during the time of distress and we will also rely on external mercenary organisations.
For logistics we will rely on internal logistics department and also external logistics organisation.
We want to be a scalable and reliable organisation.Running with maximum efficiency.

Weekly Update - April 27th - 2020
 
This most recent 264 hour test only had 5 rescues made, that's 45 rescues for Alpha 3 and 101 overall.
 

 
On April 20th Eyes & Ears secured its 100th official rescue. A big thanks to the team that made this happen alongside our entire community of supporters. The time it took for us to net our first 50 rescues was over 8 months, now the latest set of 50 rescues has come in just under 4 months. This is nothing but good news as we await the further development of the game. I'm looking forward to our next achievement which I am forecasting to occur sometime during the Beta phases based on this current data.
 
Looking back however, I harbor a tinge of disappointment since in the intervening time between our 50th and 100th rescue, we've not had a single PVP related rescue. Of course, in the testing environment there are a number of ways and means which make our assistance unnecessary which made this not entirely unexpected. Aside from this, I've only heard of the more devout players engaging in PVP related testing which says to me that a very minuscule percentage of players are engaging each other in combat. As we continue down the path of development I expect our work to increase accordingly.
 
----------
 
@Flamm netted the 100th rescue when a Novean crashed on Thades, respawned on Alioth, and needed help getting back to their wreck. Nothing spectacular, we've done it less than a hundred times, and we're looking forward to doing it a hundred more!
 
I've noticed a bit of a theme regarding many of our rescues on Thades. It's that the ground always comes up faster than expected. The current diversity of planets makes me hope that NovaQuark has atmospheric phenomena in mind as that will also add to the challenge that is landing on strange planets. I would advise all travelers seek knowledge about the planet they hope to land on before they try and land. Knowledge is power, and your greatest resource to that end is your fellow testers and players.
 
----------
 
With a pair of recently announced wipes of the test environment made at the onset of this test, I didn't put in a lot of work in considering how long the the servers were online. While I worked mostly on smaller projects, a majority of my time was dedicated to organization related activity outside the test.
 
Our Discord server saw a few changes and some fresh faces.
 
The main change that was made was the addition of an On Call role that rescuers can freely apply to themselves should they wish to be pinged for every rescue that comes in. I hope that this takes at least some of the weight off of rescuers that are in direct vicinity should they be unable to.
 
Other changes include a non-member #guest-nda channel for non-organization members with NDA access. Additionally, some helpful content under the Welcome to E&E section has been made available for members, non-members, and future members alike. This is meant to smoothen out a potential new members introduction to Eyes & Ears with instructions on the application process and more in-depth details and processes on what each member role does. Much of my offline work will be focusing on adding more member roles and content to this section in the time to come.
 
As for those new members I mentioned earlier, welcome to the team the following players:
@Endstar - Rescuer
@Rastaban - Rescuer, Pilot, Programmer
 
Also, a warm welcome to our newest affiliate:
@Metric and the organization - Cobra Tec
They will be assisting us with market information in Dual Universe with a project that is currently in its beta. Feel free to contact them for more details.
 
We're happy to welcome our new members and affiliates to the team and are eager to see all they bring to the table!
 
Finally, Eyes & Ears is lining up to present two of its members ships representing our organization at the Alioth Aerospace Expo which will be going from the 1st to the 3rd of May. I'm looking forward to seeing the communities works, I don't get out and sightseeing much, so this presents a welcome time to do so!
 
----------
 
That's all for now, until next time, fly safe everyone!

Dear Community Members,
 
We have some very exciting news to share. Many of you who have been here for a long time probably already know Yamamushi. As one of the co-founders of the official community Discord and an early Kickstarter backer, Yamamushi has been around as a very active and well known community member for almost 4 years now. 
 
We are excited to have him joining the team. With him coming on board, a few important things are going to change and we wanted to be transparent about this with you all.  We have always valued neutrality for our employees and we try to avoid any conflict of interests. Like all other employees he is bound to some important communication restrictions. Yamamushi must discontinue being a community figure while he is employed with Novaquark. This means stepping down as a moderator on Discord and our public forums, while retaining some limited administrative rights (precisely to maintain the DU Bot). He is also bound by an internal NDA contract and won’t be able to share everything as a Novaquark employee. For those who are friends with him, we ask you to avoid attempting to get behind-the-scene information from him, regarding the game or the company. 
 
He won’t be able to communicate or play anymore as Yamamushi, but his love for the community is strong and he will continue to follow the community from the Dev side. He will also not be permitted to be a part of a player-run organization. We know this can be hard to face for such an integral part of our community and this has been a hard decision that may feel frustrating (at least it is for us and for him) but a necessary step to avoid any suspicion of favorizing any group of players in the community.
 
We would also like to take this opportunity to explain what are our internal rules when a member of our community becomes a Novaquark employee:
 
His/her personal accounts are suspended for the time he/she is a Novaquark employee.
  He/she is given an anonymous player account so he/she could still continue to play the game, however, some specific rules apply to such an account:
  a. The Novaquark employee behind should not reveal his/her real identity and/or he’s part of the company. 
  b. He/she shouldn’t join a player-run organization with this account either, for neutrality reasons.
  He/she is given a NQ account, mostly to test things, and occasionally to communicate with the community in-game (if such opportunity arises). Nothing done on this account (coming usually with more powers/rights than a player account) will be transferred on any personal account.
  Thank you for taking the time to read this, please join us in welcoming Yamamushi to the team here!
 
Best Regards,
The Novaquark Team.

Join us on April 30th @ 2pm EST / 6pm UTC for our first official Twitch Stream! 
 
 

I'm so afraid right now  

hell low
Glad I could help  ^^
if u need more , just ask
 

You win in MMO when:
 
1) Having lots of fun;
2) Making new real friends (even if they 10.000 km afar);
3) Quit just in time, with bit of bright sorrow, but firm hand at "uninstall"...
 
Everythings else will fade away in global scale of things.
 
 

So, here is pretty large and interesting thread for Landmark vets, It makes me little bit jealous : ) How about hardcore minecrafters?
 
Lets show them power of Old Block Ways. Post your best things with nessesary comments and how you plan to rock world of DU with all your experience.
 
I'll start.
 
Most builds are from high-fantasy city project called Kingdom of Merovia. And there is a lot. Mostly mine disigns and global planning/coordination, but some things built (or updated later, when I quit MC) by my great building-buddy angvar -- also he made many of presented screenshots. Ships disigned by several other talented people of our building crew. Lots of people participated during years of building.
 

 
MORE in spoiler V
 
 
 

Hehehehe.
You know what?
 
@vertex and his frined @Armedwithwings really kindly hepled me with ship! Pimped it! Like in this TV show:
 

 
And gread deal of nice advice about how to fly and update futher.
 
Also special thanks to @vince_chicault for M vert. booster.
 
So, I completly recomend this guys for doing buisness, they are trustworthy and great!

Well, there are PvP Fans and there are none.
 
I love PvP but only and just in pure PvP games. (not sure it is allowed to name the games here, so I just avoid it for now).
 
As long PvE and PvP mixes it comes mostly to harrasment, and griefing. Player environment gets toxic and thats mostly the moment I cancel subscriptions, or uninstall the client when I am forced to PvP for example in grinding zones. As long PvP and PvE do not intersect (for example pvp players have their own zone, server, planets) and I never have the need to go there, all is fine.
 
Else when I want griefing, I go to work and at least get payed for it. In my spare time I want to relax while playing and not want to be bothered. In this way I mostly find a "home" in the game as explorer, trader, builder and I usually stay for years to come supporting the game.
 
So we shall see what way it goes and until then I enjoy and also sponsor the game at the current state.
 
 

Hehehehe.

Haha, that's a funny approach to the topic, but I'll sure take a look at it to help it become airborne
 
You can type "/w vertex hello" in the game chat to open a direct channel to me (when I'm online) and send me your coordinates (F4 = map, then click "my location" and "copy to clipboard" - paste this using ctrl+v in chat). If I'm not on, or miss your message, send them here or via private message and I'll pay you a visit

1. Regular updates \o/
2. Interviews with ppl, orgs or even NQ. I also like to read opinion pieces. Like the writers personal opinion about an org, the game, mechanics, certain aspects of the game and such. Ofc with the nda this is a nogo atm, but later on maybe. 
3. I like the Layout and the stuff which is on there
4. Maybe later at some point, but then I would clearly split that. Not every article needs to be translated. But for example: an in depth view on economics/production might be better in german (if it follows eve then those are the biggest producers)
5. See 2
6. 42
7. Keep it up! This is a very good First step 

1. No brainer -- more content regulary!
2. Special interview-only editorial column, this is always good read.
3. Personaly I like short stories, but may be pause little bit with them until game unfolds more (and more rich material or inspiration can be gathered).
4. For me -- no, english 100% is ok (and I'm not native en speaker).
5. Actual organizational news, this is hottest stuff as for me. 
6. Moment in eternity of non-existence.
7. May be its time to locate more talented recruits, expand content production?
