So many backers just want to upgrade the pledge. What they see is the black hole saying "error 500"
Even today - tried it moments ago.
NQ should fix this asap. People are willing to pay more! Let them do so!

Thank you all. I understand now.

Servers cost money.
Developing new content costs money.
Paying people a decent wage to maintain and operate a mmorpg costs money.
Saving a character state is just a small part of the overall picture.
NQ has said on multiple occasions that the expansions will be free. So I don't get why you seem to think player generated content means that after the initial development NQ's job is done. Even if no new content is developed operating and maintaining servers cost money.
I could write an endless post about why p2p is a more honest business model, why it's cheaper for the player who is invested and why "f2p" was invented and packaged as being "for the player" but I'm not sure if that would advance the discussion.
I do think I answered your question.
What content? That´s the question. There is just a giant sandbox with millions of players in it. There will be no "new content"

@Warden and Merwyn:
Well I think they all got paid already or would you work for years without payment?
Renting a high end server costs 14,95$ per month. Can´t be that expensive.
Wow! So all FTP MMOs are made by volunteers? (sarcasm)
I see your point. They all need to be paid for creating no further content. Just traveling around the world and presenting the game. Cool. ( this was a joke)
Seriously:
I think the costs will be refinanced within the first 6 months after launch. Let´s say 1 year after lauch. And then? Either NQ will boot half of it´s staff (which is not unusual in the gaming industry) or they need thier programmers to create content. But nobody can say what "content" really is in Dual Universe. At that point a monthly fee is no longer bearable and they have to go FTP (with lootboxes or shops)
-
Single shard server for unlimited players. No other company offers this.
-
What is the monthly fee for? Just for saving the players progress?
Novaquark just has to keep the server(s) running.
They don´t have to create new content, they don´t have to create new maps or zones. There are no quests, no NPCs no PVE content.
Don´t get me wrong, I´m willing to pay a monthly fee but I would like to know what for as the community is generating all the content.

I don't think there should be aliens. It sorta sounded like they want the biggest threats in the game to be other humans. we are all going to be struggling to learn the game, learn how to make stargates and stuff. we probably won't need extra mysteries.
Until the first star gate is built and everyone can buy a blueprint of it.
I think there should be lots of mysteries in the game. This is a space simulation! It´s predestined to have mysteries in it.

Nice video. Looking forward to the creations of the "pre-alpha community"

Doulbe posting means title defence in this game, right?

Somebody watched "Gorath" a few days ago....

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”
I think NQ will do the right thing...
-
That´s pretty cool. Discord seems to be the better "teamspeak" for gamers.
-
I'm curious. Will building be advanced to the point where we could build gigantic war machine for combat? Something along the lines of these:
Definately YES!
They wont be able to move thier limbs but if you build a space ship you can create a shape like a mecha, wanzer, EV-Unit, Zoid, Renegade-Unit or whatever you want to call it...
-
I suppose you can build something on a space rock while travelling through space.

I vote for "quarks"
Who is with me?

How do you define right and wrong when there is no law and no rules?
It´s interesting that only a few people understood the poll. I don´t want you to follow a community created law I just wanted to point out a difference between outlaws and "good" players.
It also was a test of the community. At the moment we can except some kind of space GTA where war and PKers rule the world.
I mean everyone who wants to trade should have something relieable. Also if companies are interacting with each other. This can´t work without some kiind of business behavior.
Maybe this poll was way too early.
I will reactivate this thread when the first companies fall, the first big constructs got destroyed or hacked. When traders lost all thier goods because of a space bully. When some players start crying about the injuistice of some outlaw actions. Looking forward to that moment...
Thanks for participating the poll.

Please check the poll.

Another option to the "alien race" thing is to perhaps put another arkship on the other side of the map as it were (eg really far away) so that when the expansion finally hits you realize "holy shit I thought we were the only one". The devs could do this without telling us and the reveal would be the best thing ever. Imagine being that guy who is 3 months travel from the closest stargate and you find some player on a planet building a base who says the arkship is in the next system.
This would be really cool but think of one situation:
I start playing the game and will be put to the "first" ark ship. My friend starts playing one week later and will be put to the "second" ark ship. So we should recognize very soon that we can´t reach each other.
But the idea is still great. It would be a suprise to find another "ark ship colony" in the middle of the universe.

just don't log off in the middle of nowhere or places that are not secure, problem solved?
Thats the problem. THERE IS NO SAFE ZONE exept your starting zone. Do you want to travel some lightyears just to log off safely?
-
Maybe it will be up to the players to keep the balance. Maybe they let the responsibilities to the players. If we are mining every planet in the universe to zero - the party is over.
-
But they will also need to add content over time. The universe has to grow, more materials and secrets have to be added from time to time. And don´t forget the server wide events which will grow to a whole new level with DU.

Star Citizen Alpha 3.0
Just kidding...

It´s a long term project. Maybe things like that will come in future but I think this is not of high priority because who wants to sit in his well designed living room when there is a universe to explore/built/conquer?
