There are already hundreds of VR games, though there aren't a ton of AAA quality ones just yet. Many of them are small indie projects which are similar to tech demos, but still enjoyable for their price. Yeah maybe you only get an hour of playing ti…
Someone linked me to this thread so figured I'd come in here and clear up any misconceptions as to what the future of The Repopulation (and Fragmented) are. Will use bullet points as that is often the easiest way to follow.
- The Repopulation…
I do think with the success of some of the survival games that feature mostly permadeath (though often without losing skills) that maybe perma death could get a second look in MMOs. It will only work if the game was designed for it from the get go t…
@GG: I can't speak for what schemes other MMOs are using, but it's generally not hard to detect players who are cheating. We use an auto detection and cut off scheme for areas that we can and it tends to work pretty well. Clever players will find wa…
The level of immersion you can receive from VR goes far beyond what you can get otherwise. I can't see it completely replacing non-VR devices because it isn't always convenient or available. But I do see future MMOs being designed with VR in mind. W…
@GeezerGamer: Sorry for slow response, I don't check in here all that often. But answers to your questions.
1. No. Stuff in the shop will either be self only or account wide perks.
2. Every MMO has to deal with those issues. We have a variety of au…
@MrSnuffles: Perhaps you should look at other Early Access MMOs with future wipes before you make that statement. Really only a few examples of them and Repops player counts and numbers compare favorable. It's tough to get players to log in day afte…

Wait. Skills are time based? I don't remember that. Did they change skill progression?
Not sure what is meant by this one, and this isn't directly responding to Archlyte (who was asking the question) but I did want to cle…

I wanted to check the date of the post; I mean, after all there's a reason why this game had been shutdown numerous time.
To my surprise, I couldn't find any info about when this post was made in the new forums!!!
But yea I…
@HolyAvenger: We rarely monitor these forums. Not really our place to talk about player opinions, especially when considering the circumstances. You do realize that he has 13 posts and all are in this thread? He's invested into this thread and respo…
Itemization is typically one of the last things that happens before a game launches. Drops will be an ongoing process until that point. Mobs do drop fittings, and they do drop items. There just aren't a ton of them in the loot tables yet. Humanoids …
It's tough to really have a list of things that every game should have because player opinion varies so much. One player can love a game that another might think is terrible beyond redemption. I think the responses in this thread regarding Auto-Scal…
It's a combination of things. For one, there are so many more games, and many of them are free, which means that players can just skip to a new game at the first sign of burn out or frustration. When there were limited games that was not a viable op…

Are there other players to interact with at all times? Or does everyone log in for a few days after an update, then dwindle away? I bought the SotA early access, and the second is definitely the trend there. Se…
Just a quick note, the numbers on display there are for not total money raised numbers. They reset every time the campaign changes, and reflect on site numbers for that round. Repop has raised over a million dollars.
Alright, well I'm done responding to you. I'm available to discuss things seriously with other people, but you're not worth the time as you obviously are: a) making outlandish claims, b) ignoring when they get rebuked, and c) just hoping to be fed...
Here's the thing ThompsonSub, why are you still here? Posting at the end of every thread? There is a word for that. And try presenting the facts. It's closer to 1/4 than 1/3rd. And as we said, this game won't be for everyone. Of course the positives…

You guys are going to need to do something serious with crafting or your game is just going to have a small niche community.
I think most crafters once they have spent some time with the crafting system find it to …
