Catra? Horse, plx.


As to your question, have a look around the forums! There's a large amount of posts and discussion about this, opinion of the majority being that X is very much a single-player universe and making it into multiplayer would change things and not for the better.


edit: damn it, I was late with my horse request!

Eve Online

Very much like the X games. Just be prepared to spend a lot of in-game currency to get anywhere. And if you think X's learning curve is steep, you ain't seen nothin.

You obviously haven't seen everyone's favourite (seems to be) argument, a new one does seem to crop up at least once every month. I think we're due one soon actually, we need someone to make a new 'Why X needs online' thread really. egosoft.com just wouldn't be the same without these threads. :lol:

Really?
UFOs, rants about the UI, M7 threads, M6 threads etc. seem to crop up pretty often. But as was said, the forums wouldn't be the same without 'em. :D

If at first you don't succeed, delegate the job to a minion.

The problem for us "vets" is it hard to find anything really new to read here nowadays .
Often it is because there are new players who are having the same problems,questions and ideas that we all had when we started.
Whereas it is nice to be able to help newcomers,it does get a bit boring seeing threads that have been beaten to bits a dozen times or more,still cropping up again every month,like some sort of ghost that won't settle.

That is why it is always best to use the various search methods first,before posting.
I find this helpful,not just for myself,but for answering questions on this site.

Read a bunch of the responses on other threads regarding this, including the poll.

Seems its mostly old-school players that dont want an online variant of this - and i could literally tear these arguments apart for pages at a time, but it would be a waist of text. Instead i'll just give you an example of what this kind of anti-progress attitude results in.

The Tribes 2 community boycotted the Tribes: Vengeance 'prequel' release on the UT engine. The result of this (actually very well made and marketable) game flopping killed the Tribes franchise. All community projects failed despite the community saying they could do it themselfs.

MMO's make money. Online capable games have more life-span and generally sell better. Want more X? Move with the times.

Yawn...

Another person who's been here for 5 seconds and thinks they know what's best for the X community.

Hint 1...

Tribes <> X

Hint 2...

If we wanted an MMO we would be playing Eve...

Hint 3...

Egosoft seem to be doing well enough catering for the single player genre...


It's really that simple... :roll:

While some gentle ribbing regarding the frequency of this topic may be ok, it's getting into the realms of being unacceptable conduct.

This thread's going no-where good, so now it's going south.
