I wish to pay for my first month's subscription with my first DAC; will this be possible?
 
I have asked this through Ask Aphelia a number of times and I have not yet had a reply.

Not much talk about are DAC being given and where my pet that was part of are pacs 

Good post though slightly (accidentally) misleading on this point. As OP is a backer with 3 DAC, they won't get the free 2 weeks as this is only for people with a paid beta subscription (not free beta key) and who's subscription has in fact expired. The 2 weeks is to encourage these lapsed subscribers to give the game another chance.

With an existing account you probably won't have easy access to the new first time player experience.  If the opening playthrough is what you want you can watch a stream/YouTube or try it with a new account much faster and easier than a support ticket to fix your current account.  Since it is still a work in progress you only go through the earliest of basic game play. 

Hey o/

depending on when you played the Alpha (until mid 2020) or the Beta, the game has drastically improved allready...
Beta start was a hell of a ride, with so many bugs that noone were able to call it a game and not even beta.
But after 2 years, it seems the cloud algorythm of DU is able to run more than 200 players in an area flying around or building stuff with ease.

Its not easy to say, how well the game will perform after the launch and reset on 9/27
but even with hundrets of thousands of playermade constructs ingame it depends on where you go...
Many constructs in one place means, many many Gb to load in realtime into your RAM. depending on your system and internetspeed that might drop your FPS for a while.
But its much much better allready than it was 2 years ago, to be honest
 
Depending on what hardware you have.. If you meet the recommended requirements for DU, the only bottleneck is your internet speed and the distance to the next Server within the servercloud of DU. 
You can check the actual requirements on the DU Steam page Dual Universe bei Steam (steampowered.com)
 
You backed for the game allready... that means you are still able to play until the servers go down on 9/22
Then you have 2 weeks for free to get back into DU after release on 9/27.
And after all that free trime you will need to use your DACs or subs or whatever.

Welcome back and login right now and check DU for yourself. o/

AC splitting and Legion forming has brought a bit a fresh ink into Lexikon's pages, come read about it.
 
Want to share ? Need a copy ? Let me know.

Dear Community Members,
 
We have some very exciting news to share. Many of you who have been here for a long time probably already know Yamamushi. As one of the co-founders of the official community Discord and an early Kickstarter backer, Yamamushi has been around as a very active and well known community member for almost 4 years now. 
 
We are excited to have him joining the team. With him coming on board, a few important things are going to change and we wanted to be transparent about this with you all.  We have always valued neutrality for our employees and we try to avoid any conflict of interests. Like all other employees he is bound to some important communication restrictions. Yamamushi must discontinue being a community figure while he is employed with Novaquark. This means stepping down as a moderator on Discord and our public forums, while retaining some limited administrative rights (precisely to maintain the DU Bot). He is also bound by an internal NDA contract and won’t be able to share everything as a Novaquark employee. For those who are friends with him, we ask you to avoid attempting to get behind-the-scene information from him, regarding the game or the company. 
 
He won’t be able to communicate or play anymore as Yamamushi, but his love for the community is strong and he will continue to follow the community from the Dev side. He will also not be permitted to be a part of a player-run organization. We know this can be hard to face for such an integral part of our community and this has been a hard decision that may feel frustrating (at least it is for us and for him) but a necessary step to avoid any suspicion of favorizing any group of players in the community.
 
We would also like to take this opportunity to explain what are our internal rules when a member of our community becomes a Novaquark employee:
 
His/her personal accounts are suspended for the time he/she is a Novaquark employee.
  He/she is given an anonymous player account so he/she could still continue to play the game, however, some specific rules apply to such an account:
  a. The Novaquark employee behind should not reveal his/her real identity and/or he’s part of the company. 
  b. He/she shouldn’t join a player-run organization with this account either, for neutrality reasons.
  He/she is given a NQ account, mostly to test things, and occasionally to communicate with the community in-game (if such opportunity arises). Nothing done on this account (coming usually with more powers/rights than a player account) will be transferred on any personal account.
  Thank you for taking the time to read this, please join us in welcoming Yamamushi to the team here!
 
Best Regards,
The Novaquark Team.

So, You Wanna Be a Moderator?
 
Oh yeah, that’s right! We’re opening up recruitment for our forum moderation team! We are specifically looking to add additional language support so we’re seeking the following languages: 
 
English English/French English/German  
If you’ve ever wanted to get involved with Dual Universe on a deeper level and have some time to give, we’re looking for volunteers that can offer a few hours each week to check in on our forums, help approve posts, moderate reported content and help people find their way around. 
 
How does it work? 
All of our moderators are volunteers. Moderators are given a new account from which to do their duties from and their identity is kept secret. Moderators help to keep the forums clean and orderly. They are the front line for approving posts and content and handling reported issues. They work with and under the direction of the Community Management team. 
 
The rules are below: 
https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/11015-dual-universe-volunteer-forum-moderator-guidelines/
 
APPLY NOW!
 
We will contact selected candidates quickly, so don’t delay. If you aren’t selected this round, we will be recruiting for the future and will retain applications for 6 months.  A short quiz/test of skills may be asked in a second round. 
 
We are looking for three to five community members to help us with keeping an eye on the forums to make sure we continue to have one of the most helpful and inviting communities possible. This isn’t an opportunity for those who feel this is a chance to finally be recognized for your contributions because all volunteer moderators will be issued a new forum account to use only when performing their moderation duties. You also won’t be able to tell anyone you’ve been chosen. All community volunteer moderators must remain anonymous. This opportunity is for those who wish to help the Community Team maintain our high standards for an inviting, helpful, and respectful community.
 
If you think this is something you’re interested in and you can be fair and impartial in your actions in the role of a community moderator, then you should apply. Before you do, you should know we have the following expectations and criteria:
 
Requirements and Expectations
 
Must have a clean community record. No warnings, infractions, etc. For at least the previous six months. No suspensions or bans. Posting history shows a helpful, constructive and respectful posting pattern. Apply the community rules in a fair and impartial manner to all members. You understand and accept that this role Is purely voluntary and carries no compensation or other consideration – financial or otherwise. Willing to be and remain anonymous. Ability to serve in this role for at least 6 months. Read and write fluent English for all roles. French, German, or Russian written fluency is a very big plus.
  You should also be comfortable with all the things a volunteer moderator will be asked to do. A Volunteer Community Moderator will have access to tools and forum functions that will allow them to take a variety of actions.
 
Community Volunteer Moderators Can
Move threads to the correct areas. Hide threads and posts they feel are inappropriate until they can be reviewed by the Community Team. Merge multiple threads on the same topic into a single thread. Approve posts by new members (required for first-time posts). Bring urgent matters to the direct attention of the Community Team. Getting Naerais her coffee.  
Community Volunteer Moderators Cannot
Delete any thread or post. Edit the text of any post. Suspend any account for any reason.
  Still with us? Ready to tell us how great you’d be at this? Excellent!  We’ll need you to send us a little information so we can get to know you.
 
Once we’ve collected your applications the Community Team, and other members of the Novaquark staff, will review your information and reach out to those we feel would be a good fit. Those individuals will then need to pass one more round of questions before being selected. If you don’t hear from us, please don’t take offense. We expect to hear from many outstanding candidates. With only a small number of slots to fill not everyone will be chosen.
 
We'll be taking applications starting today, Tuesday July 28, 2020  until Thursday, July 30th @ 12pm UTC. 
 

FAQS
What do you look for in a moderator?
We’re looking for people who have shown they are helpful, well spoken, and welcoming. We expect moderators will be discrete, honest, and always have the best interests of the community along with a healthy dose of fairness and common sense guiding their decisions.
 
How does my backer status affect my chances of becoming a mod?
Simply put; it doesn’t. Your backer status, or lack thereof for that matter, does not factor into our decision. We are looking only at post histories, past behavior, and your application and follow up questions.
 
How long will a Community Volunteer Moderator have their position?
CVMs do not have a fixed term of service; however, we will do regular checkups with them every three to six months. This is to ensure they are still able and willing to continue with the tasks assigned. Of course, we reserve the right to remove any CVM we feel is not acting in a manner consistent with our policies and the community and moderator guidelines at any time and at our sole discretion.
 
What happens if a volunteer mod abuses their position?
We have a set of rules and guidelines for our volunteers to follow. They are publicly posted and if we find a volunteer is not abiding by those rules (both the letter and the spirit behind them) then the community team may choose to remove them from their position. Serious abuse or misuse of their role may result in additional actions if deemed warranted.
 
While we will investigate moderator actions if abuse is reported, please be aware that false reports just to discredit a Moderator reputation will also be severely punished.

Let's meet ingame !

In the country where i live ~15 Eur is like three pack of cigarretes so ~15 Eur per month is not so much if you are non smoker; smokers are spending multiple of those 15 Eur every couple of days!
So ... STOP SMOKING! PLAY DU!

A sudden flicker of light imposes itself upon the field of darkness in which she was immersed, cutting short her baptism into the  great, silent black.  It was a particular area of interest now, the spot on the horizon, had there been a horizon, where the spark had hinted of ... something, promising nothing.  Still she watched it.  Intently.  Drawn to the center, for now that is what she considered it to have been.  The only. 
 
As the seconds ticked by in an obedient march the flicker did not reappear.  The ink of solitude and silence blurred her bearing on the spot that produced the light.  Her mind began to make it's attempts to rekindle what she had seen, failing, save for diffuse circles of muted blues and reds.  And then blackness again.  
 
Her Universe, without stars.  
 
She would not waver from her heading now.   If she was yet an entity capable of such, her eye would capture again the flicker.  

Hello everyone. I have kept an eye on the game for a long time and decided to download it today after watching the latest roadmap video. I'm a long time MMORPG player with most of my playtime in Eve Online and World of Warcraft vanilla->WOTLK + a bunch of vanilla private servers and now Classic WoW. I've also dabbled in Rust and had the pleasure of playing in the New World alpha not long ago. This game seems super interesting and appeals to both my love of space games and sandbox gameplay. Can't wait to see it progress first hand!

Greetings, my name is Selena and I’m so excited about Dual Universe. What makes this game unique is it being completely player driven. Every aspect of the universe is determined by the players. This makes the scope and opportunities limitless.

I'm new and just wanted to say hello from overcast and rainy Oregon.

Dear DUdes and DUdettes,
 
Today, we have an announcement that should make our Alpha testers happy! Due to our internal development process and by popular demand, we decided to bring some modifications to our Alpha test schedule.
 
So, from now on, next Alpha tests will happen as follows: three times a month, a 96 hours test session will occur, spanning from Thursday, 14h00 UTC to Monday, 14h00 UTC.
 
That means there won't be any test session once a month. This way, it will be easier for us to better plan production. We'll continue to analyze your feedback and the data produced by your crazy adorable in-game behavior It will allow us to better refine things along the way on our road to Alpha 2.
 
Overall, we think it's an improvement: longer test sessions covering weekends every time. This should be more comfortable for many of you!
 
Our Server status page remains the best way to get informed on when tests happen. It's up to date for next month and still here for you to visit (if it's not a bookmark in your web browser already): https://www.dualthegame.com/en/server-status/
 
Cheers, 
The Novaquark Team

it would be cool if players were able to make their own shops,like u open the shop menu, and then u select the player's shop,(it will have an icon that the player will have added)and there,the player who created the shop, iwll be able to make his OWN GUI(ofcourse not with lua programming)and there u will be able to buy and sell products att hte price the player has set.Also, shop owners will be able to start an auction for an item .This is it.DONE

My name is Last and I'm an alcoholic. 
I see so many nice people on here introducing themselves, I figured it was time I did. I'm really looking forward to this game. I'm an asshole. I plan to rob, steal and kill and just be a general douche. I enjoy good old fashion pvp and even more I enjoy non consensual pvp. If there's a way to piss people off...I'm all over it. I also like exploring, building and the color green. I'm pretty new around here but I hope to get to know some of you guys really well. I love you guys:) jk but for real. 

This should be the next thing on cigarette packages

They cant destroy it but they can take its stuff if it isnt in any TU. If i have to got permission to open a chest which didnt locate inside any TU, i wont need a TU anymore when i just build a building and treasure my stuff there without being worry it iwll be take away, of course it will be my tradition 5 x 5 house like in minecraft :)) so i dont worry if anyone build/make a wall over my chest.

According to the information available, yes, you can dig a hole and put something inside it, and cover it up.  It would last forever (Though some people have proposed ideas for things to degrade over time I don’t believe NQ has addressed that), and if there is a terrain smoothing tool, then you should be able to smooth the ground above it.  This would be possible anywhere outside controlled areas, inside any areas you have the rights to modify the terrain, or if you have a way to modify the terrain without rights.

Treasure hunts could be a thing if people want it to be

Forever(to the end of game), until someone find it. They can decide whether to salvage it or just take stuff in it/put some more stuff in.
