That's a question that I'm going to have to ask the team and get back to you on. I'm not sure how it works yet.

Im sorry but to really get an understanding of the Jumpgate community you have been charged with managing ( what ever that means ) you should really get into the game that has made it possible for you to be in said position, and you would be a whole lot more respected for doing so.

Then you might see why so many of us have negative thoughts to the news of late.

Nothing personal by the way just don’t think some one that hasn’t be there, done that and got the t-shirt can really understand where the Jumpgate community as it stands at the moment is coming from. You might of played all the MMO’s under the sun from A to B but you haven’t played Jumpgate.

Re: Into the Precipice I go!

Guys, there is no point in Awen playing Jumpgate Classic in its current standing. Our opinions and feelings come from Jumpgate Classic before it was left to rot. Today there is no real PvP, there is no real excitement, the online numbers are too low to get the "feel" of the game. Sure she can go do the boring crap, mining, hauling, fluxing, maybe do a 1 on 1, but without a lot of practice she will be worthless against the pilots that have been PvPing for years.

Awen, don't waste your time in Jumpgate Classic, its not the same game anymore anyway.

Re: Into the Precipice I go!

Missed one:
  • Do NPC pirates threaten you if you don't transfer credits, or try to steal your cargo, or just blow you up?
  • How many levels are in the game currently?
  • If both ships just sat facing each other and held down the trigger at the same time, would a level 10/20/30/40 ship destroy a level 50 ship before it was destroyed itself.
  • If you take 2 level 40 ships, and equip one with readily available gear and another with gear that will be custom made by the players and make them shoot each other while sitting still, how much armor will the custom gear ship have left with the standard gear ship explodes?
  • Which is more accurate: Jumpgate Evolution is a PvP space sim. -or- Jumpgate Evolution is like WoW, except you fly a spaceship.

She's not charged with managing the Jumpgate community.

She manages the Jumpgate Evolution community, which will hopefully be much, much different.

it's a different game, different rules, different community standards. Jumpgate classic was a great game, and is still enjoyed by literally dozens of players worldwide.

I think Jumpgate Evolution is shooting for a different set of rules.

This is very true ignore my post, was more out of frustration and horror at some of the things being suggested.

What in a name I was merely suggesting that as it is now we are the community as it is now and to get an understanding of where its at maybe a few hours in Jumpgate would so her some good. But as stated above it’s a shadow of its former self and I do hope that Jumpgate evolution comes forth into the light, and not falling into a big black hole.

It all so takes a while for people to get my respect, just having a job title is not enough, as I said nothing personal im just set in my ways .

Didn't miss it, can't answer them yet. I just didn't want to have to say it. I know it gets old hearing it.
