  1. If a cryptocurrency where to work in DU there would have to be several factors involved to make it successful.

     

    1. Unlike most cryptocurrencies, it should be heavily centralized, with a company acting as a bank/broker to make sure each side keeps up their deal. (problem with this is that it is not necessary to have a cryptocurrency for this, so it would essentially be a hard sell on would normally be a broker service)

     

    2. A way of pinning value (tying the cryptocurrency to an in-game resource, a certain amount of credits, etc.) This is also problematic, as it would require either A: the company backing the currency having these resources in advance or B: the company using the cryptocurrency that it has as a way of raising funds to do other deals to eventually amass enough money/resources to back the currency, similar to the way banks loan and deal on debt. 

     

    Note for 2: This could just be a starting point, and then having the currency payed for online with in-game currency and real world currency, but most probably this pinning of value will have to continue for the duration of the currencies life time.

     

    Also, making it so that each company could make it's own in-game currency would make it incredibly difficult to play, like early Europe, having to trade between dozens, if not hundreds of minor currencies would make it difficult for everyday players and near impossible for new players.

  2. It would be logical for there to be NPCs or AIs in the universe, especially at the beginning, when there might not be that many people. AIs could also help ship prices by allowing more ships to blow up, and make trading more risky, which can make the game more interesting. 

  3. In general, I do not like subscriptions, but I think that if subscriptions are necessary, they should have several essential elements.

     

    - Affordability: Even if this is provided by a sub-par or standard type of subscription, perhaps below a 'golden' subscription or something equivalent to it, there should be an easy way to get into a game, maybe a first-time buyers discount (based on credit card to stop fraud) so that people can join in more easily.

     

    - Free play possible: I don't really have to say much about this, judging by what I head it is already possible, and the title sums it up. 

     

    - Safety: There has to be an easy way for a new player who just started out to be able to buy subscription points, and then not get robbed at gunpoint, killed, etc. This could be solved with an online 1% or no transaction fee market for premium items, like subscriptions.

  5. Sonic booms would be difficult to implement. Imagine this, thousands of ships, on one planet, producing sonic booms. It would be a pain for the servers, and could make it nearly impossible to fly.

     

    Maybe as a sound effect it could be cool.

  6. People in Russia are called Russians, those in France are French, and people from America are Americans; but what should people in Dual Universe be called?

     

    "Dual Universians" is kind of immersion-breaking, since it is nothing other than the title of the game itself.

     

    So, what do you think?

     

    If you have any suggestions other than what is on the poll, please feel free to suggest them!

    I will try to keep up with this and post any other REASONABLE options on the poll. I will not be putting up anything I think is offensive, or if it is just pointless. (like: "name-of-my-organization"-ites, or "I-like-space"-ers.)

     

    Other than that, let's hear your thoughts!

     

    (By the way, you can select more than one option in the poll. :) )

    Citizens, players, noobs. 

     

    It is possible that players could mostly get their names from the organizations they join, with maybe 'Neutral' Players, Cinderfallians, Imperials, Unionists, etc.

  7. With so much empty space, what will we be doing when traveling between planets?

     

    I can not imagine there being enough players to fill that much space.

     

    So am a little worried this will be like No Mans Sky but worse, 30 min worse.

    They will probably have a warp-drive system, but no doubt it will be faster then NMS, although it may depend on the type of warp drive your ship has.

  8. Hello, my name is twoshell and I just want people to say Hi.

     

     

    Hello, all I am twoshell. I am currently living in Canada and am a Gold Level Backer hoping to be probably higher soon. I am 16 and I work at McDonalds I.R.L. I also am a member of the Empire and also the          Lead Website Developer for http://dualempire.com/

     

     

     

    Thank you for reading and maybe saying Hi!

    The website looks fantastic! The design is great, and I love the style and system, it real feels nice.

     

    That site rivals that of some large IRL companies, great job!

  9. As you know, because of your incident, and when you re-read the answer you got from nyzaltar in that thread then you remember that

    No orgs which use rl names, protected names, famous persons, other protected names of characters aRE allowed at all.

     

    Report them to the CMs (Nyzaltar and Nomad)

    Ok, that is what I thought. Thank you.

  10. So, recently I was going through the new organizations, and I saw the organizations 'DC Universe' and 'Minecraft'. I was just wondering if, because both use copyrighted material, the orgs are allowed? (Also DC Universe is made up of alts)

  11. Hello all,

     

    I was trying to get an image onto my forum signature, and it was not working. It would always say the website was not authorized or used by the forum. 

     

    Does anyone know what does work in order to put an image on your signature?

     

  12. For banking service, I would like to know do you have to physically be there to perform a loan transaction or can it be done electronically.  I ask because, lets say John Doe is looking for a loan but the Banker is offworld, exploring, mining, building, etc.  Can the banker still provide the loan electronically.  Same for collecting payments, how would that be handled?  Is there a mechanism to handle that?  Can you email funds?  Maybe a terminal can be made like an ATM machine?

    I think they said it will be a currency like EvE, where it can be exchanged like internet currency or BTC.
