X Online

Once upon a time there were rumors that developed online X. Should I hope for the appearance of this game?

Oh come on people, at least it was an honest question about something that *was* in development and about which news is moderately sketchy. Not 'I think egosoft should do multiplayer and this is my reason which you are not allowed to dispute.' Gotta give the OP some credit.

Anyway...

NO!

Why? It's not breaking any rules. If you don't like a topic, why help keep it at the top of page 1?

@OP, apologies for the briskness of the preceding posters. Online is a bit of a dead-horse topic round these parts. Anyway, last I heard, it was an "eventual goal", but there's not been much movement in that direction yet, I don't think.

Yes, sorry we are a bit brrks as esd said about the online thing. But also about using google to search for your answer. This topic (and many others) flare up periodically from time to time. There are 112 621 topics on these boards. This question has been asked before.

to use googlle to search for your answer and/or more detail please do this:

1) go to google
2) type in site:www.egosoft.com *what you want to know*
3) profit

Thatis all

Not sure if he means we should lock this to archive the responses of the people above.

Anyway, the official answer: No

Our current project is X-Rebirth and the previously mentioned project was X-Online Universe and there is still a page kicking around somewhere but it's very outdated.

Or just use this:

As for the original question, making online version of x universe is far more complicated then it seems, and why bother? ES has good, well rounded product and buyers for that. Why going on something completely new and uncertain?

@OP:

>use the search function
>generates PLENTY of results
>any result would tell you...

NO!

People know how to register, open/create a thread, ask questions or reply... but neither do know how to use search or how to read or are unable to look on page 2, 3, 4...

I can not imagine a X universe, like the offline, when playing online. This will not work out. Even coop-play would be strange... nothing to achieve.. PvP? No fun...

Co-op play could be a vaguely interesting distraction, but the gameplay mechanics would make it fairly limited (SETA being the obvious problem)

I don´t think he meant locking the thread. He meant locking the OP in a deep dark dungeon where his voice can´t be heard by egosoft...

EDIT: NO!!!!

Sorry I forgort to point out the time. It is not like a CS:S or StarCraft2 session (approx. 1-2h per game/map). Playing coop would be by far more intensive... byebye happy family life. Something like that...

I tried playing a strategy based game over longer period of time (we used hamachi). It was horror! We were 4 people, scheduled every wednesday at 18/19 o'clock and weekends on demand. After two sessions plus weekend we broke it off and settled with regular gaming.

i still dont really understand why people are SO anti here. its like its mentioned and they start a public stoning for it

Forcy · Post by **Forcy** » Mon, 27. Jun 11, 17:05

I think the majority of people here realise that without a major redesign in both engine and fundamental "physics" as it were, it's just not possible. Or it will be a very boring game.

If you want to see how X would be with MP now; start a new game and NEVER use SATA. not even a little bit, not even for gate to gate travel. And then fly in anything slower than an M5 >.> a fast one...

The problem is not that we are very anti, just that egosoft has repeatedly said no, not now.

Because the old school die hards of X don't want to see it degrade into the MMO realm of 1337's, n00bs, pwning, and flaming/trash talking.
