17:17:54 Pimp: :)
17:18:09 Zorg pokes Deeg
17:18:12 Deeg: The satisfaction of clicking the ban button for surpasses finding any hunting weapon :P
17:18:52 Pimp: Question: Randomhero asks, zorg what are your aspirations for G2 in the future? will you be doing huge updates or smaller ones?
17:19:16 Zorg: Well small updates are more satisfying
17:19:27 Zorg: When I do 4 updates in 1 day people are impressed
17:19:32 Deeg: and more constant
17:19:40 Zorg: when I don't do anything for 3 weeks then release a bigger update they are not as impressed
17:20:07 Zorg: The days when I don't add anything to the update file...it makes it look like I did no work
17:20:17 Pimp: sounds like life with my gf
17:20:24 Zorg: even if I spent 9 hours working on something that will not be released for weeks
17:20:44 Pimp: :/
17:21:00 Pimp: Question: cws asks. Why are gangs so expensive to make?
17:21:24 Zorg: ....they are expensive? :/
17:21:26 Pimp nudges deeg
17:21:35 Zorg: I would of thought that would be obvious
17:21:41 Pimp: lol :P
17:22:22 Zorg: ...is he even paying attention? :/
17:22:40 Deeg: oh
17:23:00 Deeg: It just makes them more of something to save up for
17:23:23 Deeg: if they jsut came cheap everybody would have one, and that would ruin the whole purpose of joining somebody elses.
17:23:38 Deeg: It's also a good way for me to pocket your hard earned credits.
17:23:45 Pimp: lol
17:24:02 Pimp: Question: bloodwork asks. How long did it take you to create gangsterz2? what helped you during the process?
17:24:11 Zorg: lol
17:24:15 Deeg: pizza?
17:24:16 Zorg: coffee
17:24:26 Zorg: lack of sleep and skipping school
17:24:45 Zorg: Depends what you mean by how long did it take :/
17:24:57 Zorg: I am still creating it now, how long until it was playable? how long until it was able to be logged in to?
17:25:11 Zorg: The initial design must of taken around a month
17:25:33 Zorg: but then
17:25:45 Zorg: it was hardly a decent game
17:26:02 Deeg: It entertained me for a few months :P
17:26:10 Zorg: It took me about a week to learn enough PHP and MySQL to make the game...but I already new Perl and HTML at the time
17:26:18 Zorg: and PHP is an easy language to learn
17:27:43 Pimp: Question: maceybhoy asks. Will we ever get sms payment for subscribtions?
17:27:58 Zorg sighes
17:28:13 Zorg: PayPal don't offer the service... although they branched out in to mobiles it was in a different way
17:28:22 Deeg: you could buy but not sell =\
17:28:35 Zorg: The only companies that offer the service don't really seem to want customers
17:28:50 Zorg: they either don't reply to emails, or make the signup insanely complicated and do not speak English :/
17:29:12 Zorg: Trying to setup a system where they want a 600 euro down payment upfront but take a week to reply to an email in broken English :/
17:29:27 Pimp: lol k
17:29:28 Zorg: How these companies get customers is beyond me
17:29:41 Pimp: Question: begg4merrc asks. Will gangsterz2 ever be a pc game that you have to buy from a store?
17:29:44 Zorg: If anyone knows anywhere that offers a decent service for SMS payments, by all means let me know.
17:29:48 Zorg: Ok then just interupt me...
17:29:59 Zorg: Buy Gangsterz from a store? :/
17:30:16 Pimp: yeh like pc game
17:30:20 Pimp: like cs :P
17:30:23 Zorg: ....it is a browser based game, what do you want me to do ship Firefox and an ISP disc in a box?
17:30:36 Deeg: and some soylent green would be nice.
17:30:48 Zorg: It is a 100% service side game.... short of the website address what am I supposed to sell? lol
17:30:57 Zorg: *server side
17:31:27 Zorg shrugs
17:31:36 Pimp: Question: Chos3n asks. Do you have anymore ideas to reduce lag? We constantly get lag spikes
17:31:46 Zorg: constantly...?
17:32:05 Zorg: You get them at 3am when the server rebuilds the database, and 6am when lots come on to hunt... when else do we get lag? :/
17:32:20 Pimp: :P lol
17:32:25 Zorg: I see the odd minute or so of yellow / orange lag but only once or twice a day
17:32:28 Pimp: it's you connection or your computer guys :P
17:32:39 Zorg: and yeah you get 30 second page load times when I run a backup off.... but I do warn people first
17:33:29 Pimp: Question: wolf asks, What can avatars do different than normal players?
17:33:56 Zorg: ...didn't Emperor make a thread about that?
17:34:08 Deeg: yup
17:34:22 Zorg: Yeah, go read his thread in Main Forums...or better still PM him and ask!! :D

17:36:02 Pimp: like buying armor and selling it :P
17:36:06 Pimp: but w/e
17:36:12 Zorg: ...well then yeah, hunting you can find stuff and sell it
17:36:29 Zorg: I have some things I want to do after the Gang changes that are around that area
17:36:36 Zorg: but I'm not going to say what they are because they are so far off
17:36:47 Zorg: working is easy now anyway :)
17:36:53 Pimp: lol don't wanna get people spirits to high :P
17:37:17 Pimp: Question: die asks, what's the difference between batman and robin?

17:39:52 Zorg: ok continue...
17:40:15 Pimp: Question: badwolf06 asks, will there be anything similar to double experience put to action?
17:40:32 Zorg: Erm nope, I didn't like how it distorted game play
17:40:41 Zorg: making people save for a month then only really play for 2 days :/
17:41:32 Pimp: yep
17:41:37 Zorg: lol spend less time answering game related questions :D
17:41:45 Zorg: who cares about G2 lets make this Trivia hour
17:41:59 Pimp: lol
17:42:58 Deeg: hey i'll ask a question
17:43:02 Zorg pokes Pimp
17:43:17 Zorg: No more questions...
17:43:19 Deeg: When do we take over neopets?
17:43:27 Zorg: I had a banner on neopets! :D
17:43:32 Deeg: ^__^
17:43:39 Zorg: Through google ads, one of our flash banners had like 60'000 hits on there lol
17:43:54 Pimp: i remember playing neopets
17:43:57 Pimp: when i was young..
17:44:14 Zorg: I still don't understand it, how do young kids find there way around it :/
17:44:26 Pimp: it's more complicated then g2 :P
17:44:32 Zorg: They need a site map or some quick links or something...I went through like 5 pages to find fighting
17:45:02 Deeg: ok i have an english exam tommorow i really need to revise for
17:45:04 Deeg: later guys
17:45:24 Zorg: haha...revision
17:45:41 Deeg Logs Out
17:46:21 Pimp: i got a question
17:46:28 Pimp: when will we get more skins :P
17:46:57 Zorg: Not high on my list of things to do
17:47:20 Zorg: would be nice, but they take like 9 hours to make
17:47:35 Zorg: and hard to get started on them...as they are so big
17:48:29 Zorg: Ok last question then...
17:48:32 Pimp: Question: neo606 asks why can staff get tokens and credz
17:48:48 Zorg: credz? lol
17:49:10 Zorg: ...because they are staff
17:49:21 Zorg: They can use them, they have little value though when you don't work for them
17:49:38 Zorg: I know Deeg occasionally uses them to play in Poker tournaments with players :D
17:49:56 Zorg: Anyway... status on the new Hunting system
17:50:19 Zorg: Most of it is done now script wise, we have quite a big more to write on special characters
17:50:33 Zorg: and the items are about half finished... like I said earlier I am waiting for the last special character off dk
17:50:37 Zorg: but he gets back from holiday today
17:51:23 Zorg: As for Gang System changes
17:51:33 Zorg: that is still in planning, we have a lot of back story and design to do before we can even begin on that.
17:51:58 Zorg: Lots of things... Gangs, Councils, Leader positions need to be named... then we need to write up back
stories and incorporate them in to the game
17:52:30 Zorg: So until that is all planned out don't expect to see anything changing yet... first change we make will 
be turning current Gangs in to clans (ask an Elder)
17:52:54 Zorg: Anyway that concludes Question Hour with our newbie of a staff member Pimp ;)
