  1. A true sandbox mmo at its core. This is what make Dual Universe different for me above all other games. Freedom to Explore, Freedom to Conquer, Freedom to Build cities, nations, empires, alliances, coalitions, corporations. Freedom to be whatever you want to be. The cheery on top of this nice sunday ice-cream is the voxel aspect of the constructs. Not to mention the server tech to handle all this. Hooph! Amazing! ~ Meldrik
  2. Welcome to community and to Dual Universe @MinisterPhobia, If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, we have plenty of well-knowledgeable members here. See you around in Dual Universe! ~ Meldrik
  3. Hi @SuunBraukur, Welcome to Dual Universe and the community. Because the game is currently under an NDA I can't give a straight forward answer regarding this, however, the game is currently in pre-alpha and being worked on by Novaquark. ~ Meldrik
  4. Contributor Pack only grants access to Alpha 2 and on wards. If you get the Patron Pack - this one is the one that currently grants Pre-Alpha Testing. So if you really want to help out with testing, the Patron Pack is the way to go. ~ Meldrik
  5. Welcome to the forums Jolinar and our awesome community. Questions, comments, concerns, don't hesitate to ask them. ~ Meldrik
  6. Welcome to the forums @GlitchyGirl, Happy to have you here. Here is a handy FAQ topic by Cybrex that you may find useful in your endeavors on our forums. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. ~ Meldrik Edit: Move the thread to the correct forum:
  7. These days in the technology age, you never know. Bots are even beginning to click the message "I am not a robot" Who knows, maybe they will start spending money to get access to the forums ~ Meldrik
  8. The reason for the mod approval of post to anything is because we had(and still have) issues with bot accounts coming in here and ruining our perfectly shiny and cozy forum. It's better this way, as we get to see first hand if an account is a bot/spammer or not, instead of having that publicly blasted everywhere making our forums really unwelcoming. Also, congrats on getting that Supporter Pack, Welcome to the community and game, enjoy the testing sessions. ~ Meldrik
  9. Hey there @smurfwizard, Welcome to the forums. To answer your question, as mentioned in the Disclaimer message before you bought the pack; servers are not online 24/7 at this time. You can find the next testing session on the front page of the website at the top: http://dualthegame.com/en/ - this will be updated, every week with the new testing session date. March 10th, 2018 is the next testing date. See you there ~ Meldrik

  11. To avoid having this same topic being debated yet again in the forums: Please head over to: Questions have been answered and addressed officially from Novaquark. ~ Meldrik
  12. MSAs or Moon Secure Areas are Locations similar to the Arkship Secure Areas where those worried about pvp can safely build and set-up their bases and/or constructs. PvP is restricted in these They hold no valuables at all in regards to mining More info can be found here @Semproser: http://dualthegame.com/en/news/2018/01/30/our-toughts-on-territory-protection-mechanics/ and here: http://dualthegame.com/en/news/2018/03/02/more-info-on-sanctuary-territory-units/ ~ Meldrik

While it may not have been the best way to answer the question, they are correct. "We also announced a while back that those Supporter Packs wouldn't give access before the Alpha 2 phase. However, after many internal discussions, we have decided to proceed differently, for the reasons explained here. If you have only just discovered the project and are ready to dive into the many worlds of Dual Universe, these Supporter Packs will give you the opportunity to help back its ongoing development and redeem exclusive items, too! Not only that, but by pledging the Patron Pack, it will allow you to take part in the live testing during Pre-Alpha!" Source: http://dualthegame.com/en/news/2018/03/07/new-supporter-packs-are-here/ See also; http://dualthegame.com/en/news/2018/03/07/regarding-access-to-pre-alpha-and-the-patron-pack/ "Nearing the end of August 2017, we made a second announcement in which we decided to delay the Alpha 1 phase. We wanted to adopt a more progressive approach in development by improving server stability first before adding additional gameplay features.You can find that announcement here. Today we announced the Supporter packs, which give the following access: Contributor Pack: Alpha 2 Sponsor Pack: Alpha 1 Patron Pack: Pre-Alpha You can find the announcement here." The access phase stated in the individual packs just means how early you'll be able to get in to the development of the game. If you back Patron, you will have access to Pre-Alpha, Alpha 1, Alpha 2 and Beta. Which also leads into the next quote and answer: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This is why there are only 3 different packs this time around. You are not buying for the perks. You are buying for the access and to help test and support Novaquark in the development of Dual Universe. The perks came and went with the Kickstarter and Founder Packs. " Please choose the Supporter Patron Pack only if: - You want to help the Dev team improve the game experience immediately and you are okay to test the game under NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). - You wish to support the game extensively without in-game access at this time. " Source: http://dualthegame.com/en/news/2018/03/07/regarding-access-to-pre-alpha-and-the-patron-pack/ This is why there is also a big red warning message confirming you this before you confirm and buy the packs. Disclaimer: you are joining a game that is under development. While you will be able to play and we hope you will enjoy the game, this is a real Pre-Alpha and as such, you must expect the following : The game servers are available once per week (Each test date & time is available at the top of the Dual Universe homepage) The Pre-Alpha phase is under strict NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement). It means you cannot share footage of the game. There will be bugs, game crashes and the client isn't optimized for low specs computers. As we are in Pre-Alpha, not every gameplay feature (such as PvP and the Economy) is available in-game. You can check the homepage in order to see what is available now and what will come later. You can also check the community Trello for more information. Thank you @Alethion for posting this See the lines I made bold and underlined @FullSend. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The packs are not meant to be about the perks, but rather your faith in Novaquark and helping them with the Development of Dual Universe. Lastly, I believe this should answer the question of the topic now! ~ Meldrik
  14. Hello @GuruBozonas, As The_War_Doctor pointed out, Pre-alpha access is currently limited to Gold+ founders and ATVs. Silver Founders will have access to Beta stage as per the founders packs terms. ~ Meldrik
  15. Very nice! Thank you again for the news recap, Arc Central Productions! ~ Meldrik
  16. Hi @Dr_Rhino55, I think, you might be interested in the following devblog from way back in December 2014; https://devblog.dualthegame.com/2014/12/18/dual-universe-music/#more-374 And the following page; https://m.soundcloud.com/dualuniverse Enjoy! ? ~ Meldrik
  17. Hi @Star Explorer Catptain, First and foremost, welcome to the DU community, soon you'll be able to become an official backer with the upcoming Supporter Packs. Regarding your inquiry on the News updates, I'd like to point you to two sites that can help you in this matter: https://www.dualthegame.com/en/news/ Over the last 3 months there has been countless of concept art blogs, addition of the community Trello, information about Territorial Units, PvP, and most recently information about sanctuary moons. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRPE8HHvv1EYu8YwqNgOD8w While not as active as the News section, there was tutorial video about the blueprints available currently to the testers... However, if you are inquiring about more detailed information regarding news updates, changes to the testing on the client or how the game is currently performing, this will be restricted (unless otherwise publicly published by Novaquark) which is under a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Hope this answers your question. ~ Meldrik
  18. Hi Takao, a twitter account is not needed to read the tweets from Novaquark, if you find any link in the discord servers, you can just click on it and it'll take you to twitter and bring up that tweet. Very handy for does that don't have a twitter account. See above for the links, Yamamushi posted the direct link to he new community Trello site, Msoul also posted an embedding of the tweet for easier reading and Kruock posted the link to the news blogs. Thanks guys! Also a huge thanks to NQ (like Been Fargo said) for providing the Trello for us to see and use. It's really nice and helpful. ~ Meldrik
  19. In theory, yes. This plausible, however, it will be resource-heavy maintaining and keeping the TCUs online. It will take a lot of time, resources and money for even a large organization, to be at a quarter or fifth of that, let alone the whole planet. Is it fair? Debatable. (A good discussion about the pros and cons of controlling a whole planet would be nice to see) ~ Meldrik
  20. In which case mod action will have to take place from NQ. Bad advice, very bad! I win though ~ Meldrik
  21. https://community.dualthegane.com/pledge - keep an eye out on that page. Alternately, if you're part of any DU related Discord server, I'm sure you'll be spammed with notifications regarding the release of the support packs. ~ Meldrik
  22. Last reminder: keep conversations civil and don't derails topics. ~ Meldrik
  23. SpaceX and Elon Musk have definitely open up space travel to the masses and at an affordable cost. You're very correct on that, blazemonger. I'm really excited to see what the future of space exploration holds. ~ Meldrik
  24. I'm a simple man. Novaquark said we're Noveans. Then I guess we are Noveans. Hehehe. Even though I like Colonist better. ~ Meldrik
