I agree with Dxeo on this as I am sure many others will too. It can also be a great way to spread news of the game around as many Dual Universe supporters to date are involved in many different discord servers. People would be able to see that they are playing DU and would be more inclined to do more research about the game especially if there is a large number of people playing is as there is bound to be.
 
I would also not hesitate in looking at the rest of the features the Discord GameBridge API has to offer as there are many cool integrations that would be nice to see in Dual Universe.

I agree. Multiple monitors is probably almost guaranteed. I just hope they add in simultaneous multi-projection so it will be good on multiple monitors. SLI or Crossfire would be very nice too. 

Mine all day until I have enough resources to build a ship and get off planet and away from the blob. 
 
First step: get away from the arkzone

As Discord is a large part of the community, I felt that I need to shed some light on a new feature Discord introduced for game integration.
https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/rich-presence
This would be, if implemented in a non-intrusive manner, a great addition to the social aspect of Dual Universe. Since over 90% of organizations are heavy discord users.

I personally started eating cheaper, trying to not buy more than I truly need, and I have been able to handle the price of the gold founder...
Again the effort I'm doing might seems like a lot for ppl that don't know how to restrict their daily life, but in fact, it's easy,
and I still think that the support I was able to provide, even if it's not much compared to the 10k backers, is worth it...
 
Do not try to support them if you can't find enough dedication to get a bit out of your wallet,
you might not be able to afford it due to your conditions, and if it is the case, i'm sorry for you...
You also have to keep in mind that you would have needed a decent computer, and if you can't afford a 120€ pledge for a dream,
then it would be even harder to handle a computer to run this game ^^

From the current understanding they will last until the release of the game. So if you have a Gold level pledge or higher you can access the Alpha as soon as it comes out all the way until it turns in to the Beta in which case anyone with a Silver Founder pledge and higher can access.
 
Just keep in mind that the "Founder Packs" will be discontinued on September 7th, 2017.

Hi everyone!
 
As the rules for the Community Portal were a bit unclear on some aspects, we are going to update:
- The "Create a Dual Universe Account" page.
- The "Create a New Organization" page.
 
Here are the texts that will be displayed soon on these pages:
 
 ---------------------------------------------------------------
 
New Text for the “Create a Dual Universe Account” page:

The community team may, at its sole discretion and without warning, remove any content, account, and/or organization it deems to be offensive, inappropriate, in violation of these rules, or for any other reason they deem necessary or appropriate.


Pre-Alpha stage:
Organizations created here are a provisional step towards building your organizations in-game.
As the game is in development the features and systems in place will evolve and are subject to change over time. Once the game launches the organizations, the members and the information held here will be synchronised with the game world. The organization structure will be composed of Members and Legates with different roles and/or responsibilities. For more information about Dual Universe Organizations and what they will become in the future, check out the Devblog!
 
 
A “Legate” status is currently NOT reversible (it is planned to be reversible at some point though), so choose your legates wisely! What you do here matters, so be careful what you promise!

Hi everyone,
 
A reminder seems needed on this topic:
 
- An account is strictly personal.
- You can only use the accounts for which you are the rightful owner.
- You can't lend or share your account(s) with anyone else (even a friend or a member of your family). No exception will be taken into account.
- Accessing to an account that isn't rightfully yours is strictly prohibited.
- If someone asks or harasses you to give your authentication information to him/her, do not comply to his/her request.
- If someone harass you for such a thing, please inform the CMs by private message and/or contact the support team at support@novaquark.com.
 
The consequences of sharing an account:
- The security of your account is breached and if something wrong happens on your account, you lose the right to ask the help of the support team.
- If the person with which you have shared your account has committed infractions, the sanctions can be applied to your account as well, even if you didn't commited the infraction yourself but your account has helped in anyway to commit the infraction.
 
Please keep in mind these very important points.
Thank you for your understanding.
 
Best Regards,
The Novaquark Team.
 

Hi everyone.
 
Until now, we couldn’t manually manage (remove/promote) Legates in an organization easily on the administration side.
Since Yesterday, we are able to use a feature simplifying considerably the process. 
 
As we already mentioned many times in the past, we (Novaquark) don’t want to involve ourselves in the management of organizations created by players. However, we are also aware that the current (and temporary) state of the management system contains obvious flaws. You know it. We know it. As this is still “work in progress”, we hoped that organizations creators will be reasonable enough to avoid abusing the well-known flaws of the system and would wait that all the rules are implemented before trying to sabotage other organizations. 
 
So we are going to state the obvious here:
It’s ok to “play a bad guy” and use dirty tricks once all the rules are implemented. However, it’s absolutely not ok to start exploiting the flaws of a work in progress system: this is not “playing a bad guy”, this is just toxic behavior and trying to gain an advantage while not playing by the rules.
 
That’s why - despite our will of non-involvement - we will make exceptions until the full implementation of the RDMS (Rights & Duties Management System) for the Organizations.
 
Why did we decide to intervene? 
Two reasons:
1) In the current state, a Legate has much more power than in the final system, due to the minimalistic mechanisms temporarily in place. If in the current system, any Legate has the right to promote a member to Legate status by himself alone, in the final system the default rights will be completely different: promoting a legate will be done only with a vote by majority rule, or the right to promote someone will be given to specific persons and not every Legate.
2) In the current state, a Legate cannot be demoted by any mean (even by the creator of an organization). In the final system, default configurations will allow to demote a Legate with a vote by majority rule. A Legate could also be demoted by specific persons who have been given the right (most probably by the Organization founder) to do so.
 
How is this going to work?
Each organization is going to have one "wild card": if there is a problem with the Legates in an Organization, you can contact the support team at support@novaquark. However, keep in mind we (Novaquark) reserve the right to intervene (or not) on a case by case basis. 
 
Example of a case where we will intervene:
Some Legate using the flaw of the current temporary system to vandalize (or generate troubles in) an organization.
 
Example of a case where we won’t intervene:
Two organizations have merged in one, and now both creators of previous organizations want to mutually exclude each other from the organization. In this kind of case, we won’t remove anyone. We won’t favorize one creator above another. However, we will do our best to help finding a satisfying solution for both parties.
 
As a global reminder:
If someone finds a loophole in the rules in place (that may happen), and this loophole is used to generate trouble and spread a toxic behavior, we won’t stay idle watching the situation deteriorating. 
 
Best Regards,
Nyzaltar.

Take a look at the FAQ page. It has the info listed there: http://www.dualthegame.com/faq
 
But to summarize, you need to be a Gold level founder or higher to have access to the alpha. Please note that according to a release on July 5th, they will be removing the option to become a "founder" on September 7th, 2017 for a complete overhaul of the crowdfunding campaign. In doing so you will no longer be able to obtain the ability to access the first alpha version (Alpha 1) if you have not already purchased a Kickstarter pack or a Founder pack. However purchasing a "Supporter Pack" which will come out later in the year will add the option to catch the future revisions of the Alpha.
 
From https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/11308-end-of-the-founder-packs-crowdfunding-portal-evolution-alpha-news/
 
 
 
 

From the current understanding they will last until the release of the game. So if you have a Gold level pledge or higher you can access the Alpha as soon as it comes out all the way until it turns in to the Beta in which case anyone with a Silver Founder pledge and higher can access.
 
Just keep in mind that the "Founder Packs" will be discontinued on September 7th, 2017.

I think you are missing the point of the Alpha and the Beta's on this. That is the sole purpose of the Alpha and Beta. To test stuff and make sure it is all working for the final release.
 
As for the subscription based payment, it makes sense. They will continuously have to pay for servers in order for players to play the game. A single fee per person would not even come close to covering the costs of running those servers. Therefore, if you want to play you will have to help keep the servers running and the developers paid by paying a subscription. It is perhaps the only way I can see this game being able to run for years, otherwise funding will die and so will the game. 

From the current understanding they will last until the release of the game. So if you have a Gold level pledge or higher you can access the Alpha as soon as it comes out all the way until it turns in to the Beta in which case anyone with a Silver Founder pledge and higher can access.
