    The technology to prevent that without blockchains is there. It is standard for online banking, credit cards and even small online shops. Money duplication is pretty much non-existing. The only way to "cheat" here is to hack accounts and steal existing money (unless you are a bank that creates checkbook money, but that is another story). If MMOs have problems with exploits than not by missing technology but by bad design and programming. Block chains without proper implementation wouldn't solve this problem. And whoever can implement them properly would also be able to do it the traditional way, which is much faster and cheaper.

    Blockchains make sense for decentralised systems. But MMO's are usually hosted by a vendor with a central server or server grid constituting the single source of truth. In this case it is much better to permit and log all transactions server-side without excessive encryption.

    As you can see in the below picture. at the red arrow you can see the edge is brighter. The ore is 100% beneath that spot. 
    And even if its close to it you can still find it Look at the second picture. its fairly light by the edge I am not 100% sure its right there. but chances are thats where its at.

    What they forget is that if you want to be succesfull in masses you dont need high quality perfect voxel works, you need simple everyone can do it from tech advanced to 12 year olds with no computer experience.
    If you want what is said by NQ to actually work yu need to concider making it as simple as sims.  A sims on different worlds with a world portal in every home would do it, with direct acces to other worlds all fully build on a preset by the developer.  Just like in the first Lego movie, any subject you can use should be a world, syfy, western, film noir, Umbrella corp.....  The idea is as simple as that but the actual development will be hell if you want to do it from scratch and dont want to pay high server costs and are too cheapassed to build your own data center with high class server accessability.
     
    In short, unless backed by someone like Gates or Musk you will have a hard time. You dont need the wizzkids as sups you need the bored house wives/men. And if you cannot develop for that group, forget it.

    I expect them to keep DU running until the new product goes live. It makes a better impression when they have something to show.

    Its little bit trickier. Depends on who you ask.
     
    If you ask players who expected something even remotely on level of EVE, player-driven galactic opera so to say -- at this threshold game as dead as your egyptian mummy. 
     
    If you ask someone who are mostly for "Landmark in Space" and comfortably enjoying their stuff on level of large Minecraft server (as you mentioned above) -- game for them is totally alive. And they are right, inside their framework.
     
    This why we have sometimes arguments and lots of passive-hostility in these talks. Because people speaking pretty much about different planes of existence.

    All terrain within the boundaries of a static construct should be converted (on core placement) to normal voxels with terrain material types. Thus all voxel tools (copy, paste, delete, smooth etc.) could be used to landscape the build.

    No, they leave there mining infrastructure for the 3-6 month period until the ore is deplated and than move to a fresh spot for the next 3-6 months.
     
     
    Yes, you got it. Exploration is part of the mining business. Those, who are currently sitting on T2+ tiles might not like the idea, but it would be an improvement for evereybody else - and the game is intended for all players and not just for some lucky few, isnt' it?.

    Scaling tax by 1/price below cost of goods (based on taxes and average prices) could solve this problem.

    Maxim Kammerer reacted to Leniver in Atlas Honeycomb Museum open his doors   
    Hello everybody,

    After hours and hours of hard work, the museum is ready for the public.

    I started this project because I like our builder community and support them. 
    The goal of this museum is to display all the honeycomb of the game and give the possibility to anyone to have access to them at a decent price.

    Every honeycomb of the game has his own display and dispenser from Tier 1 to Tier 5, for a total of 1382 different color and structure.

    I have try to keep the price as low as possible to push the creativity of our nice community one step further.
    All the honeycomb are produced in place.
    If for any reason one specific honeycomb is empty or you want a high amount of a specific honeycomb. You can contact me, I will do my best to sort it.
     
    You can visit the museum at by using the VR station Atlas Honeycomb Museum T1-T5
    Or flying to the location: ::pos{0,2,44.9404,86.2643,45.2091} (You can't miss it, it's under the Statue of Liberty)
     
    PS: Working on landing pad for our visitor, currently you can use an elevator at bottom of the structure to go in the museum.

    Kind regards

    I could live with the bugs and performance issues if there only would be gameplay. Currently the only reliable way to get cash for taxes are NPC missions. DU is a sub-based sandbox MMO with a main gameplay loop that would not even be sufficient for a free-to-play browser game! I don't know if I should laugh or cry.
