this and the infinite possibilities to mod my game make me prefer an Offline X3TC...No way. All or nothing. The pedantic, sadistic players, who loathe multiplayer games and have way too much time on their hands, must have a chance to lurk, prey, and mercilessly slaughter every MMO-desiring newcomer.
I have been around a lot in MMORPG... and if I can say that...
I prefer to see how dumb is my computer than seeing how dumb are some players...

I loved to play split-screen/LAN games with my brother (not MMO's though) but to be honest the thought of writing netcode to deal with 150+ sectors full of ships and stations is so mind-boggling that i doubt Egosoft will ever do it
In almost ALL circumstances i will prefer a game i have complete control over loading, saving, time acceleration and can mod to the 'novelty' of seeing a fellow player humping my dead body with his lvl 60 blood elf while shouting "n00b, n00b, n00b!". Ah yes, the peak of civilization!
The only MMO ive taken a liking to is Test Drive Unlimited; but racing games are almost made to be multiplayer

Excellent thread, just what I was looking for, but instead of reading through all these links could someone tell me why X3 TC isn't multiplayer?
I mean Egosoft must be losing a fortune cos me and my 8 mates would love to play on a LAN.

The assumption is that if you cannot read anything that has already been written, then you won't read the next copy of the explanation either.freddiel wrote:Excellent thread, just what I was looking for, but instead of reading through all these links could someone tell me why X3 TC isn't multiplayer?
It was not made that way. That is why.
I could be getting completely the wrong end of the stick, but I thought freddiel's comment was sarcastic as opposed to sincere.
"losing a fortune cos me and my 8 mates" seemed a little too much to be serious...

You haven't got the wrong end of the stick at all.

That you have to buy 8 copies of Company of Heroes (or similar game) to play a simple LAN game is an absolute rort. It really ticks me off that multiplayer has been reduced to either 'online' or nothing at allfreddiel wrote:I mean Egosoft must be losing a fortune cos me and my 8 mates would love to play on a LAN.

Id prefer a one-off cost, but that ongoing cost would probably be acceptable.Lord_Dakier wrote:A simple 4 man lobby would be nice however, development costs money and so does expansion. Would you be willing to pay £5 per month to go online such as in World of Warcraft?
Having said that this is not World of Warcraft, even basic LAN play (let alone multiplayer) would involve an incredible amount of extra work and so theres just no point even thinking about it.
Its not a funding thing so much as it would mean fundamental changes to the game that go against both Egosoft's credo among this community and probably Egosoft's stance on game development. Itd be a big risk; no risk, no reward i guess though
But the point is that multiplayer requires a massive development investment and the reliably predicted returns for something like X3 do not match up to the required investment.
By that I mean reliably predicted as in "This is how much we could rely on getting" not how much may come in as increased profit.
