To me, it's unreasonable to expect material changes to Jumpgate Classic at this point. But I think it would do a world of good for interest and player logons if we started having a bit of content again.

This from a guy who has this in his signature...

"Whenever ripping helpless civilians who don't have turrets:
"Attention: Attempting to give a damn." "Warning: Failure to give a damn." " - Tritian



Obviously I know that it is some sort of attempt at humor on your part. And at the risk of dragging out the poor dead horse so we can whip him some more, I stand by what I said.

Re: Is there anything ND can do to raise the online numbers?

So what, I thought Trit's comment was funny so its my signature.

I've played the helpless civ, I've played the pirate, and everything in between.

I KNOW the system, I KNOW its flaws, and I KNOW in its current form it has DESTROYED Piracy.

And don't give me the burgler crap, that thing is as useless as tits on a WoW player and if you try to use while not using pirate tags it SCREWS you. And Pirate Tags SCREW YOU.

Now....your turn to explain how in the hell you think the current system is better. Ball is in your court buddy.

Re: Is there anything ND can do to raise the online numbers?

Nope, Im not biting. You can waste YOUR time looking at the countless threads on this and the jumpgate forums about the bounty system, and ALL the opinions stated there. There was a reason I referred to "whipping the poor dead horse". And I still stand by what I said.

LOL. No, you're just a long lost player who posts disgruntlement instead of playing.

Re: Is there anything ND can do to raise the online numbers?

Yo Net I don't follow the reasoning behind "Jumpgate Classic will get no love" since most of the posters here do love the game and still play it.

There's a ton of old [Jumpgate Classic] players that don't know about Jumpgate Evolution and could be awaken by my suggestion of offering a few weeks of free play (or at low cost) leading up to the beta.

And I'm prety sure that having 3 FM's leading to the opening of the beta would be a MAJOR thing for us players (not to mention the rest for PvP, Flux and Miners/haulers). This would be the ultimate way of paying people back for years and years of support.

Asking the thread to be closed means you either misunderstood my idea (english is not my native language, may have failed there?) or you know something about ND's promotion strategy we don't know about?

NOTE: this refers to this post here How to draw more players for JGE - NetDevil Community

Re: Is there anything ND can do to raise the online numbers?

I rly dont understood why awen closed the thread just cuz Net asked.. normally it is only the OP who can ask for a thread to be closed unless it is violating rules of the forum. So bad awen and net.

edit: I would demand it to be opened in another thread.. dont PM, cuz then u just get some lame excuse.

Re: Is there anything ND can do to raise the online numbers?

Someone reports my thread and gets it closed, I do the same. Tough shit.

I've said it only about a dozen times now. ND is NOT and WILL NOT EVER make changes to Jumpgate Classic. Mark my words. Sure Hub said something along the lines of "we will look at it when Jumpgate Evolution is done", but that is total hogwash and I don't believe a word of it. Jumpgate Classic Development is dead, its over, and thats not going to change no matter how many posts you, I, or god makes about it.

edit: .....this doesnt mean I don't want them to make the game free to bring up the online numbers and to bring back all my old friends in a marketing ploy for the launch of Jumpgate Evolution. In my opinion (which is the only one that matters to me), that is the single best way they can "advertise" Jumpgate Evolution regardless of what the nah-sayers respond.... "people won't play Jumpgate Evolution cause Jumpgate Classic is 8 years old, bad graphics, shitty MT system, blah blah blah"

Build it for Free and they will come. (make some small changes and a hell-of-a-lot-more will come. MT patch sucks my right nutt)

Since when do you work for Netdevil? I don't care how unlikely it is, asking for Sinupe's thread to be closed was stupid.

Re: Is there anything ND can do to raise the online numbers?

yeah i agree. sinupe made some great points. at any rate, i don't know if it's fair to completely blame net either. i'm sure awen was just using anything as a reason to deflect attention to Jumpgate Classic.

@tugnut
another tool. shut up.
