There is no gravity, the Earth SUCKS! (Thats the real reason why we left it!)
 

Great work!
 

Said with so much conviction.... I wouldnt rule out the possibility at all.

I think it is a fairly well done video. I have always preferred MMO's/Sandbox, and if the game allows me to build things then thats a definite plus for me (One of the reasons I left Eve Online was that even though I was industrialist what I was building wasn't my design).
 
One thing the video didnt mention, as its only something I've seen in DU and Second Life, is that guided/instant games can be built inside of the MMO so that if people want quick fights, car races, gambling match etc etc etc it can be built within the game and run by players for players, with no extra development burden on the main game developers (NQ and Linden Labs respectively).
 
If NQ can actually pull of the single shard/one universe goal then it will be the first game to be truely 'one', that will allow the players to segment into what they please - combat parks included.
 
So I think the video is pretty spot on, I just see DU as the game that will redefine what it is to be an MMO/Sandbox/Themepark

A bounty system can be abused. Bad avatar A get 1 million credit bounty placed on its head, he goes to his mate (or players other avatar) who shoot bad avatar A and collects the bounty. This ends up being a win-win for the bad guys, not only did they cause a loss of some sort by the original act to get a bounty on their head, but they then end up fleecing the player again by collecting the very bounty that was meant to punish......  yep, rewarding the bad guys.
 
So bounties aren't as great as they may seem

You are forgetting - this is a GAME! .......

There is nothing stopping NQ from adding nuclear propulsion, or other forms of advanced physics elements, to DU. They have however said no WMD for the sake of game balance.
 
Simple as that.

NQ has said more than once that there will not be any weapons of mass destruction - so you can rule that little nuke fantasy from your mind.

You're making me cry

Well, it's all speculative currently.  I don't think having underground bases will make you invulnerable, and stated my reason why.  You think they would be and stated your reasons.  When we have more information about the mechanics of these things the debate will actually have some level of accuracy.

tests are taking place at NQs pace and at their discretion. If they need us to test more - they'll say so.
Until then: we get to test the game in the timeframe they made public, nothing more - nothing less

I stand corrected. Didn't realise the section I was in. Carry on

There is nothing wrong with polite debate, which is what happens in the DU forums. Intellectual debate is also welcome here.
 
I know you want to drive visitors to the Zebra site, however derailing existing threads to do so isn't the way to do it.

So I saw a comment on this tweet from Dual Universe where someone wanted a plushie made of the robot pet:
