Question Hour 11
27th August 2006
With : Zorg, Vader, dk16


18:12:34 Vader: QUESTION: artix003 asks "When can you make better clothes???"
18:13:00 Zorg: That will be removed in the log.
18:13:22 Zorg: New clothes... erm.
18:13:37 Zorg: dk16 will be working on those, we are doing gang stuff first.
18:13:44 Zorg: Don't know what he has planned after that though.
18:13:53 Zorg: He is back now, but busy working in real life or something so doesn't get much time online.
18:14:45 Vader: QUESTION: badwolf06 asks "Are you ever going to change the rate of money we get?"
18:14:51 dk16 Logs in.
18:14:56 Zorg: Yes.
18:15:09 Zorg: We intend on implementing an inflation system.
18:15:29 Zorg: Meaning, every 12 months or 6 months... all prices will go up 10%, and the amount you earn from jobs, etc will go up 10%.
18:15:46 Zorg: ...you will be no better or worse off, every credit value in the game will go up 10%.
18:16:05 Zorg: It is just an economic measure, to stop people amassing huge amounts of credits in their banks and never spending them.
18:17:07 Vader: QUESTION: begg4merrc asks "Are there going to be any public job openings soon?"
18:17:35 Zorg: Erm, jkjace just finished hiring didn't he? ...or has he finished yet?
18:17:56 Vader: He locked the thread because he said he had enough applications I think.
18:18:23 Zorg: I noticed a couple of new staff, that is how involved in that stuff :D
18:19:05 Vader: QUESTION: Cannon asks "Which is more important to a gang: Average or total level?"
18:19:19 Zorg: Total level...
18:19:47 Zorg: Gangs are not about getting a handfull of quality high level members, they are both a training area for new players and 
supposed to be a representation of 25% of the game.
18:20:33 Zorg: The gang list is arranged by total level, average level is just displayed so people can see the progression 
of members within that gang.
18:21:15 Vader: QUESTION: DJfresh asks "What are your future plans/ideas for this game?"
18:21:48 Zorg: Next on the cards, after suggestions week (read my blog) and a few other small changes is Gang Warfare.
18:21:58 Zorg: Waiting for dk16 to erm... get online more and help me with the graphics for it.
18:22:00 Zorg kicks dk16.
18:22:24 dk16: Ouch :(
18:22:30 Vader: :P
18:22:35 dk16: I've been busy with... stuff.
18:22:52 Zorg: It is really hard to draw a city scape from above, for a warfare map. :/
18:23:38 Zorg: Plus the planning of how it all works.
18:23:47 Zorg: Hard thing to do right.
18:24:27 Vader: QUESTION: fragger222 asks "Is the Dark Alleyway in Sector 3 going to stay there or are you going to take it out?"
18:24:46 Zorg: ...
18:24:50 Zorg: Why would we take it out?
18:25:12 dk16: It's scary :(
18:25:32 Zorg: Strange question, yes it serves no purpose once you have finished with it...
18:25:35 Zorg: but new players still need it.
18:25:49 Zorg shrugs
18:26:43 Vader: QUESTION: Frost asks "In an earlier question hour you said there would be a new system for making credits, 
or something like that. Any ideas of plans on that yet?"
18:27:32 Zorg: No plans for it yet.
18:27:49 Zorg: The current jobs will remain, I just want to add more involved ways of making credits.
18:27:55 Zorg: That require you to think a little more.
18:28:54 Vader: QUESTION: ICUP asks "How come some spammers spam and don't get -1 disfavour?"
18:29:19 dk16: Because they get -2 disfavor :P
18:29:29 Vader: :D
18:29:40 Zorg: Erm... because staff aren't omnipotent and can't see everything everywhere all the time. Try using the 
report feature in tickets if you see spamming.
18:30:32 Vader: QUESTION: ilovegirl1 asks "How do you move?"
18:30:40 Zorg: Damn newbies. :(
18:30:52 Zorg: I need to put a level restriction on posting questions lol
18:30:56 dk16: lol
18:31:02 Vader: wouldn't hurt :P
18:31:06 Zorg: ilovegirl1 no longer exists...
18:31:27 Zorg: When gang warfare comes out you will actually gain the ability to move though... kind of. :D
18:31:46 Zorg: You should be able to choose your position on the grid based map, to help defend or attack territory.
18:32:10 Zorg: But yeah, more on that some other time because I don't have any of it planned yet... so anything could change.
18:32:21 Vader: QUESTION: JPF asks "Who is Cain?"
18:33:14 Zorg: The deity of the dark flame, who assigns and removes members from the dictatorship council.
18:33:32 dk16: That's a copy and pasted answer, isn't it?
18:33:52 Vader: QUESTION: KillaSanta asks "How old is Zorg?"
18:33:52 Zorg: That is what politicians call side stepping a quesiton. :P
18:34:03 dk16: Side step that one ^^
18:34:12 Zorg: One sec lemme check my profile...
18:34:18 Zorg: 20
18:35:13 Vader: QUESTION: KinGsteR asks "Can someone tell me how many wins I need to get into the Top 10?"
18:36:07 Zorg: Assuming he means the weekly ones, about 550. Check the list in Sector 1 > Hall of Records > Weekly Top 10 Lists
18:36:22 Zorg: 79 a day :o
18:36:36 Zorg: 3 every hour :D
18:36:49 Zorg: 1 every 20 minutes... ok next question :D
18:37:27 Vader: QUESTION: mikeyboi asks "Are you going to make any more weapons or misc. items?"
18:38:26 Zorg: Yeah sure, I need to change how items work first though.
18:38:38 dk16: So much stuff to do...
18:38:42 Zorg: At the moment if you have say a Shotgun... it is a shotgun, there is nothing unique about it.
18:38:52 Zorg: The only unqiue value your shotgun has is the number of trades.
18:39:20 Zorg: ...because it is stored simply as Shotgun/trades... and it grabs the stats for a Shotgun from the item database.
18:39:36 Zorg: The new way I want to do it, would instead give every item a unique ID number.
18:40:10 Zorg: Which means your shotgun... has its very own database entry, this will mean nothing at first. 
But with a few more updates it could mean your shotgun could have its own  unique stats.... different quality shotguns, 
upgrades for items, etc
18:40:50 Zorg: Like in most RPG games... you may find a certain type of sword. But it could be 
different to someones elses sword that has the same name.
18:41:41 Zorg: The stats would not just be random, I would probably give them a new quality 
attribute. Like an "Old Shotgun", "Shotgun", "New Shotgun"... whatever.
18:42:16 Zorg: But yeah, there are currently thousands of items in the game and lots of scripts do item 
related things. So it would be a big change.
18:42:33 dk16: But that comes after suggestion week, gang warfare, new chat...
18:42:50 Zorg: new jobs
18:42:51 Zorg: yeah lol
18:42:56 Vader: QUESTION: Pie asks "Does dk16 have any plans to bring out new clothes for 
level 20 players? There is a shortage of shirts and eyes."
18:43:02 dk16: Beep! 
18:43:18 dk16: Uhhh... I will evemtually.
18:43:22 Zorg: Dk16 is doing gang clothes first. :P
18:43:28 dk16: Yeah.
18:43:31 Zorg: Hey did you like the Blade of Dawn glasses I made? :D
18:43:36 dk16: Like Zorg, I have a list, too :P
18:43:43 dk16: Yeah.
18:43:44 Zorg: You did 3 gangs, and then went on holiday...
18:43:50 dk16: I know :(
18:43:52 Zorg: Crap you need to make a female alternative as well.
18:44:02 dk16: Oh yeah.
18:44:21 Zorg: Yeah, make sure all the current gang stuff has female alternatives and remake some of the 
female clothes, especially the coats to be more unique.
18:45:19 Zorg: So much to do... so much time.
18:45:28 Zorg: Just damn impatient players want everything done now. :P
18:45:45 Vader: QUESTION: Pimp asks "Will there be any type of alliance system in gang warfare?"
18:46:17 Zorg: Nope.
18:46:27 Zorg: When I first did the at war status, they were called
18:46:47 Zorg: At war, hated, alliance
18:47:01 Zorg: but there are only 4 gangs... not enough to screw around with alliances.
18:47:20 Zorg: All gangs should be fighting the other 3 gangs... yes some more than others, but we don't plan to make any system for alliance.
18:47:38 dk16: Who needs alliances when you can slaughter all opposition? Muhahaha
18:48:29 Vader: QUESTION: Primie asks "Do you have any plans to increase the number of players on G2? It is usually at a 
constant 2500-ish albeit, it is on the rise. If so can you elaborate?"
18:48:48 Zorg: It goes up and down.
18:49:01 Zorg: I'm saving some money for some advertisement soon though. Not sure what site it will go on yet though.
18:49:20 Zorg: Google Adwords is terrible.
18:49:27 Zorg: Nobody in their right mind clicks those crappy text ads.
18:50:28 Vader: QUESTION Purple asks "Is there going to be a gang bank? And dk, girls need more clothes."
18:50:37 Zorg: Haha
18:50:40 dk16: Saw that coming.
18:50:50 Zorg: Every question hour.
18:51:20 Zorg: No gang banks.
18:51:34 Zorg: There may be a form of gang currency, that is aquired from warfare and spent on warfare at a later date.
18:51:44 Zorg: But it will not go outside of the gang banks.
18:52:09 Zorg: I may allow credits to go in and be converted to the gang currency to be spent helping warfare.
18:52:16 Zorg: But no way it is coming back out.
18:52:30 Zorg: Not to players directly anyway.
18:53:07 Vader: QUESTION Shaidar asks "The new gang system is out and working and we only get 1/4 the kills we used to. 
So are there any plans of increasing the gaining of experience or credits in order to help leveling?"
18:53:17 Zorg blinks
18:53:32 Zorg: What? ... you can only get 3/4 of the kills you used to, and there is exp bonuses in place to compensate that.
18:54:09 Zorg: One sec, he is in here. I'll ask him what he is smoking.
18:54:48 Zorg: ... not answering.
18:54:56 Zorg: Oh well, there is exp bonuses in place already. Next question.
18:55:26 Vader: QUESTION: UriahB7 asks "Why can't we upload MP3 songs for our profile music?"
18:55:44 dk16: Because we're trying to reduce lag, not increase it.
18:55:48 Zorg: 1. Copyright, 2. Bandwidth, 3. This isn't myspace.
18:56:15 Zorg: Yeah mp3s are like 5mb in size.... midis are normally 100kb or so
18:56:35 Zorg: plus they are stored in the database.... so fetching 5mb from the database everytime a profile is accessed... haha.
18:56:39 dk16: Besides, most people turn off midis in profiles anyways :P
18:56:56 Zorg: You would get the same sort of lag you get when I back things up, everytime a profile is viewed.
18:57:21 Vader: QUESTION: Whatever asks "Is there any chance that females could get some more choices in clothes? 
Especially since males seem to have more choices and they seem to  look better?"
18:57:40 dk16: She's one of Purple's friends, isn't she?
18:57:42 Zorg laughes
18:57:49 dk16: Double team!
18:57:53 dk16: Not fair!
18:57:57 Vader: Well it's a good thing dk was here to answer all these outfit questions :P
18:58:01 Zorg: Nah, she is that admin who started playing from triplejack. :)
18:58:23 Zorg: Haha...
18:58:27 Zorg: He hasn't answered one yet :P
18:58:34 dk16: Well, the answer is yes.
18:59:25 Zorg: Yeah, he is gonna go do it right now ;)
18:59:28 Zorg nudges dk16.
18:59:49 dk16: :(
19:00:01 Zorg: I'm not, it is the week-end. I'm going to go play games :D
19:00:18 Zorg: But dk16 is a slacker. lol
19:00:40 Vader: QUESTION: Ross asks "Will there be any weekly social events such as quizzes organized for people to take part in soon?"
19:00:56 dk16: There is deeg's radio show...
19:01:08 Vader: And doddsy's too
19:01:33 Zorg: Yeah radio forums will become more of a competition type forums once I get the rewards and things in place.
19:01:40 Zorg: No idea what they will be yet, add that to my list dk :P
19:02:04 dk16: That's #234 now, right?
19:02:27 Zorg: :D
19:02:31 Vader: ;)
19:02:37 Zorg: I have a to do list on my wall, but that doesn't have any of that on. lol
19:02:46 Zorg: That only has small jobs on it.
19:03:04 Zorg: I should setup a live webcam stream looking at my to do list, haha
19:03:32 Zorg: Then again it only changes every week or so... that would be entertaining.
19:03:43 Zorg: Silences are gonna start running out soon, we have done all the questions though :)
19:03:59 Zorg: Hopefully next months will be on the right day and on time.
19:04:13 Vader: lol :D
19:04:33 Zorg: Oh and for those who read my blog, and saw my last video.
