  1. Yep. To expand, you'll have to actually defeat these organizations from their roots in order to free up some people. That will inadvertently also send players to other rival orgs instead of your own.
  2. Welcome to the forums. Normally, I do a very unique introduction for most people, but today I'm going to still do a unique introduction. While its stellar you're here, you'd have to do quite a blitz to get to our civilization (aka Dual Universe) to be years ahead of us.
  3. There are quite a lot of small empires. Just say "expansive org" and you're good.
  4. Welcome to... Counter Strike: Global Offensive? Kryoz! Did you mess with the script again! --- Yeah, of course I'm going to use one of my old introductions! --- You try and make a unique introduction every time! It gets boring, mate! --- Yeah, pretty sure Sinon is best gurl. --- Just give me the damn script. --- Welcome to League of Legends- I give up. Welcome to Dual Universe. Blah-blah-blah join our organization or whatever blah-blah-blah Mama Yama will "show you the way" or wahtever. GLHF.
  5. This information has already been disclosed publicly before the Alpha. It will depend on your Core Size, such as a 128-Core will allow you to build 128m^3 for example. Sources: I'm too lazy to actually dig for it.
  6. Assumptions with very little research on Dual Universe: 1.) DU's server hosting per machine should be similar to Amazon's Dedicated Hosting at roughly 6 dollars an hour, but we'll use 7 dollars as a more extreme example. 2.) DU's machine will run 24/7, costing roughly 180 dollars per machine per day(normally 168, but we're increasing it a bit). 3.) DU will have 10 machines in the USA, 5 machines in Asia, and 10 more in European countries. Another 2 will be added for Australia and Southern America. However, there will be much less resource demands on Australia's and South America's servers, so we'll divide the hosting costs by 2 for those. Assumed Costs Per Day: 24*7(180(25 + 2)) = $816480 per day. Of course, that is a stupid amount because of my bad estimations. ---Above is bad math, ignore it--- We're instead going to use a real-world example. World of Warcraft's servers cost 120k/month to upkeep with a total (for every server) of just five million per month. It has about ~7 million players, so roughly 1.1 dollars per month per player for server costs. Assuming Dual Universe will have the same hosting costs, each player has to pay roughly 15 dollars per month. Dual Universe is making about 14 dollars of profit per player per month. If Dual Universe has about ten-thousand players at launch, they'll make $140,000 in profit per month. ---Extras--- If Dual Universe has a hundred staff members each getting paid 70k/year, the cost for every staff would be 7,000,000 Dual Universe would make 1,680,000 but be in debt of 5,320,000 HOWEVER! The number of players would be expected to rapidly rise up to roughly a hundred thousand after a few months, making a profit of 1,400,000 per month for silly-high amounts, allowing Dual Universe to make roughly 16,800,000 per year for a profit of roughly 11,000,000 dollars, or roughly 366665 DACs at a cost of 30/DAC. ---Notes--- These are all estimates.

    DU OST COVER

    No duets? *screaming internally*
  8. Honestly if DU becomes Cyberpunk 2, I wouldn't complain.
  9. Here some links that explicitly talk about the topic: And here is the topic "The Right to be Evil" which contains some more misc. info for additional reading:
  10. This topic has been discussed before. Would you like a link to the topics involving this?
  11. My favourite colour is blue. Purge the heretics!
  12. Destroyer of Civilization, Warmonger, Spiritual Cultist- I present... GREG: THE IMPERIALISTIC LEADER
  13. I am going to be completely honest: You are just getting a discount if you buy the lower-pricing tiers and you won't get beta/alpha IIRC. If you pay for the 100$+ packs, then it'll be worth it. You choose, you decide.
  14. That's... just a bad idea. I see where you are going with this and why it's both a good and bad idea, but there is a little thing called emergent gameplay. Let's assume you just killed a member of an important organization. Those people are probably going to shit on you if you have a bad day. Boom, you either a.) immediately die upon entering a trading zone or b.) you have to pay a lot more money for an item. And darkening tones is just a bit daft.
  15. // Warning: This is criticism, not an insult // \First 2 Books\There needs to be more descriptions, as it seems like everything is happening on a slideshow- and when it does give a more heavy and a richer description, it makes it seem out of place. \Other Books\Pleasant to read. This is a more personal opinion, but it seems like the AI are a bit cookie-cutter. They (mostly) behave the same, and seems somewhat weird. The contrast between certain AIs would make the story feel more enveloping, such as a militaristic AI leaving little to decipher but a more poetic one (such as the AIs interested in art) would speak in a more lulling with much more figurative language. Yeah, first two books. Going to be blunt: no. Other ones are much better and were delightful.
  16. Just make it unlimited members, unlimited organizations... unlimited everything. Make an entire corporation of leaders for all I care. It is, in fact, a self-balancing system. Perfectly balanced, in fact, as all things should be. --- But bad leaders make the players leave, and the players make their own corporation, rinse and repeat.
  17. I have an idea: Make the symbol the most extreme colours (255,0,0 ; 0,255,0 ; 0,0,255) in a triangular formation, with the tips being coloured like so.
  18. Sure, Zuckerberg. We definitely know you're a real human. Make sure to: Initiate Protocol 'Real Human Audiodescriptory Processor' Have fun! Don't make us mine crypto though. But if you do, mine/buy Monero. It'll rebound.* *We are not responsible for any loss of money, self-esteem, or life.
  19. Cool, huh? Also, just before that, is Metro Exodus.
  20. You now has approval from meh. Now you go race and run everyone over!
