So the Official Multiplay server...

What I am hoping for when the Multiplay's official server come out, that it becomes a server-sided server that has like 128 gigabyte of ram that can hold all the players in the world? Would be fun to turn this into a MMO at some point since it can accommodate all the players in the universe inside the game. Plenty of worlds to go around.

 

I'm also hoping it'll have some method besides finding a party of getting off the first planet, once it's stripped of wood and easy accessible coal.

That, or trees regrow by that point.

 

Actually that part is based on the character creation. Each server, even singleplayer has a set destination for the first world. However if you jumped into singleplayer after creating a character, it picks one randomly. You can avoid getting onto a bare first planet like that. I propose that the first planet on a MMO-structured server to be pure random. Finding a party is going to be more of a challenge especially, since the first thing that's probably going to happen is chat is going to be restricted to players on that planet. Maybe make a party board or something inside the ship.

Create Distress Signal (Looking for more publicly)

or something of that nature. Atleast that's what the Distress beacon should be able to do in a MMO sense.

 

Oooh! See, I made a character just for playing with my friends on a small server and we all spawned onto the same planet. I thought it did that for all of them. Well, I'm not worried about that anymore then.

 

Hey guys

Noxy from Multiplay here.

Just wanted to make some clarifications on the scale of what we are doing atm.

Just at the moment, our core aim is to have the server working from a basic functionality perspective. This means thing's like Rcon, Query, Max Players, Bindable Ports.

The features you describe are really exciting though but not on the current agenda, but who knows. Maybe in the future it would be something Chucklefish would like us to be involved in.

It's been fun so far though guys, we hope to be updating you all soon

 

I Hate MMOs With a Vengence. I don't want this to turn into a MMO-Esq Game. It'll be a Trading Simulator.
