LOl thats what i mean... Dead Horse Beating Topic.... There is a reason that the poor dead horse is still being beaten. And i think this is a perfect spot for it. If you want to sustain a more consistent donation pool, you should stop trying to make people feel dumb and w/e you are right no one cares, lol reminds me of SOE, so i guess at least we can simulate that. Thanks for your poor response.

Development of this project will continue with or without donations. The only thing a lack of donations will do is make Basilisk go away, our development process will stay the same.

We're emulating 14.1, that is the scope of the project. It's been stated hundreds of times before. We're not looking for feedback on improving the game or your opinion on how to get more donations. Once our 14.1 goal is reached, the team that handles Suncrusher will start considering player feedback on game improvements.

Sorry, i missed the we dont care about your opinions thread. I just have to ask a question then i will leave and not post my "opinions" anymore. Why do all of this? Once the game is at 14.1, will you be giving the code out as open source or will it go to the hands of the next set of programming elitists?

It will go to anyone who wants it.

Our goals are not up for debate. This is a development project, we never claimed it was anything but that. We are not hosting servers for anyone's amusement, they are our development tools and they serve a purpose, if donations run out we will simply shut down Basilisk and continue running Nova if we can. In the end, none of this "shiny" stuff is necessary. Team can host their internal test server, we can make it invite only and development will go on until project goals are met. Of course we wont be able to stress test our code but i guess we can worry about it at some later date, or just let future server admins Beta and stress test it on their own. They are the ones that will be maintaining servers and taking care of updates after 1.0 is released anyway.

So if you want to share your opinion on anything post 1.0 related, feel free to do so in Future server ideas and maybe folks that will be hosting servers post 1.0 will take under advisement. If you want to help us finish what we started, start coding or just log on to TC: Nova and start testing and reporting bugs. Or if you just want to play, you can do that to. But please, don't waste our time with stuff that is not important for this project in this stage of development.
