This is especially for those of you who no longer play, but still retain an interest in Jumpgate.. What would it take to get you back in the game and playing more?

Other than "more people" what would it take to get you back into the game or playing more often and longer? I think we all agree we need more folk playing. I also think most of us agree NetDevil would bring in more people if they could.

Speak your minds here. Someone might actually listen.

tbh, a bloody miracle. I think, finaly, im done.

@Ambro EVEs mining economy also allows you to AFK while you mine and auto dock and dump your fill....We want a winbutton? =p

I afk mine all the time (and forum-whore while I mine).

P.S. The entire game in Eve can be summed up as AFK "play" and auto-docking.

From the last week ive been dipping my toe into EVE, the mining in EVE and the mining in Jumpgate are worlds apart.

Not only the mining. Comparing the two games doesn't make any sense at all.

One's a game . . the other's a screensaver.

A lot of the things I've seen in EVE have seemed really interesting. Seeing a map of space with the territories of player-controlled alliances looks very cool. Plus Toast plays, and Toast is Toasty.

Thats why i stopped, at the one line i did type more but i agree, they are so diffferent that no comparsion can be made.

But thats a hell of a lot of people watching a screensaver ( over 25k ) and only a handfull playing a game ( 19 )

Aye, it is. Sad social commentary.

Powo

In other words, large majority of gamers would rather choose to play that interactive screensaver(or that other space flight mmo) over this game because of the graphics quality.

Thats the way the average PC gamers are today.

i think your missing the point, move along self harm is that way

Ambrosius

Actually, the "sad commentary" from my POV is the overwhelming preference for winbutton gaming. Jumpgate, even if it had a complete graphical update, would never appeal to the hug
