3 pointsHey guys! I am currently setting up an interview together with @LuckyDuck. There will be unique questions, no simple questions that mostly are being asked on the forums. I am planning to get a lot more insight on the game, without asking too difficult questions that would ruin the expense. If you have any questions u would like to ask the developers, please feel free to reply to this thread. I will run them down, and questions that look interesting and are worth to ask will be added to the list. ( You will be mentioned as well if it comes to that ) Thank you for your read, and thank you very much for participating. Enjoy your day!

2 pointsThe map will be relatively large, and new players may find it hard to travel in between the different cities (providing that they don't own a vehicle of their own, or just want a cheap way to get around) a metro system of some sort would help solve that, it could be anything from a dart train that goes from town A to town B or an underground subway system. (dart rail system in Dallas, TX, basically just goes from one town to the next, stays above ground the entire time, doesn't have multiple stops within a single city) or perhaps, a more conventional subway train just some sort of mass transport.

2 pointsFor the pledge apartments, if you decorate it on official server 1 and then go on official server 2 as the other one is full, you have to start over with the decorating that pledge apartment. The devs want to allow pledges to go on all servers including private servers. On Official servers, if you own a house on server 1 you won't own it on server 2. Apartments on pledges will be available over all servers. If private servers are able to get a shared database like your example @brians999, it won't be the same as what you want e.g. If you own a house on server 1 then that same house is not owned by you on server 2. Houses are limited and that means if you own a house on server 1 then no one else can buy that house on server 2 which is why on server 2 you have to re-buy the house to own it on there.

2 points((I tried to resist the call. I haven't roleplayed in years, so I tried to just turn my head and run like hell, but dammit, the call is strong. I couldn't resist and here I am, so let's do this. FML)) [A large explosion of flames and poisonous gasses] A chemical plant. It just had to be a fucking chemical plant. My father could have been a doctor or lawyer, hell, even president. But no, he had to find a love for chemistry in school and grow up to be the biggest chemical conglomerate ever. Just my goddamn luck. [A teenaged looking girl running down a hallway, covering her nose and mouth with long sleeves] And why am I here? Because I'm a loser. I have no job, no friends, no life. I'm basically Paris Hilton without all the sex, drugs, alcohol or fame. Just your totally average, shy, gothic, quiet girl with social anxiety for days and a rich-ass family who doesn't get it. [The girl coughing and choking while she tries to open several locked doors] "If you won't go get a job on your own, I'll set you up with a place at the plant." My father would say. "You can start shadowing a few of the floor workers and they'll train you for entry level. But I know you're smart. I know if you really try, you'll be climbing your way up the corporate ladder in no time." I mean, who even talks like that? [The girl wheezing sickly as tears run down her face and sirens blare, red lights flashing all around] I hate it. I can't tell you how many panic attacks I've had here. Sure my family's got enough money to ensure that I've had countless therapists and psychiatrists all my life. And don't get me started on the pills. But they couldn't fix me. I'm still broken and always will be. [Another explosion, blasting the girl through a wall and subsequently coating her in flames] But you know what? I'm okay with that. [The girl screaming bloody murder and thrashing around wildly as the fire envelops her, bits of it turning green from the toxic gasses] Yea, I'm a mentally damaged, family disappointing loner who will never be anybody or anything in life. [Slamming into a guard rail, the screaming girl loses her balance and flips over it, plummeting into a vat of toxic chemicals below] But I like myself just the way I am. [The flames go out in a greenish snuff, replaced by toxic bubbling as the girl vanishes beneath the liquid] And I wouldn't change a thing.

2 pointsThe jail time is set to 45 mins for testing reasons as of now but will and could be more than a couple of hours depending on what the developers feel is good enough + 1 hour is nothing and so if you want people to break you out then it will surely be only worth it if the prison time was more than a couple hours.

1 pointPrecision Manufacturing Unlimited Identity's forerunner in Manufacturing and Raw Material Mining. Company Mission Statement: It has been stated several types by the developers that the majority of products available for purchase would be produced in every stage by other players. There are many ambitious people and companies in Identity, they have entire business models developed, but they have one major oversight. They have nobody to produce the products that they want to sell. Nobody to supply the raw materials required to make every single product in Identity. This is where Precision Manufacturing Unlimited would come in. There is a large market share that is up for grabs, and we at Precision Manufacturing Unlimited believe that we can seize the opportunity. There is a large amount of money to be made in this field, and we need your help to do it. Employment Requirements Must own a functional microphone(by the release of the first module) Must be 15 or older(Some exceptions made) Must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement(NDA) Services Basic Manufacturing: We will produce many products for wholesale purchase by stores and companies(electronics, clothing, ect.). This aspect of our company will be the centerpiece of our business model, accounting for most of our initial revenue stream. Raw Material Mining: We will mine our own Raw Materials, and sell the excess Raw Materials. We essentially will not have to buy any materials for our products from another company. Keeping as many aspects of our company in-house as possible is a priority for us. This is a cost cutting measure and also ensures that our company branches out into many fields. Renting Equipment/Space: We will rent out our equipment and space to both individuals and companies. Along with helping individuals who wish to manufacture their own product, but do not have the means to do so(equipment, materials, space, ect.) we will rent our equipment and space to large companies as well. This gives us a passive revenue stream to fund our future projects and ventures. Consulting/Risk and Logistics Assessment: In creating this large company we will gain valuable experience. We will eventually branch out into the consulting field, to help others grow or create their own business. We will determine the costs and risks in doing so, and will attempt to minimize the chance of failure by utilizing our vast knowledge in the field. This is a long term goal and is not apart of our main business model, but hopefully will be a promising new revenue stream for us. Job Openings Owner(1/1):shadeymatt(Augusto Vallone) The owner will be mostly hands off, the company will be mainly run by the CEO and CFO. CEO(1/1): Andrew811(Andrew Cirone).The CEO will be in charge of the overall management of the business, but will leave all day to day responsibilities to the Division Leaders and Shift Managers. They must be experienced in management and leadership, and will require an extensive interview. CFO(1/1): yellowhero12(Ambrogio Vallone) The CFO will be in charge of managing the company's finances. They must be experienced in mathematics and accounting, and will require an extensive interview. Division Leader(1/2): We will be splitting the Manufacturing and Raw Material operations, each will have a Division Leader who will report back to the CEO,CFO and Owner. They must be experienced in management and leadership, and will require an extensive interview. Shift Manager(0/2): The shift managers will be in charge of managing of operations and employees. There will be 1 Shift Manager in each division. They will be able to hire and fire at their own discretion, but will make weekly reports to the division leaders. One of their many responsibilities is to run the Human Resources department and to manage the many Employee Benefits. A functional microphone is crucial for this job. Floor Manager(0/4): Floor Managers will be in charge of day to day operations on the production line. They will not be able to hire employees, but will be able to fire employees in their section for poor performance. They will report directly to the shift manager. A functional microphone is crucial for this job. Production Line Employee(0/?): Production Line Employees are the core workforce of Precision Manufacturing Unlimited, the interview will not be very extensive, but quality work is expected. There is a large opportunity for upward mobility. Employee Benefits Note: For all units of time, Red will indicate IRL time, and Blue will indicate ingame time. Unlike many other companies, Precision Manufacturing Unlimited provides many benefits to all of our Employees1. If an employee works for Precision Manufacturing Unlimited for 2 Months they will be granted tenure. Their contract will not be terminated for 3 Months.2 1 Week severance pay after working for 2 Months.2 A reference to any future employer after working for 1 Month.2 Reference 1: Barring breach of the NDA or employees terminated due to poor performance 2: Barring termination due to breach of the NDA or poor performance Precision Manufacturing Unlimited's future is promising Will you be a part of that future? PM me(yellowhero12) or reply directly to this post if you are interested in applying for a job.

1 pointHey, I just found out about this game today and started doing some research on it (Quite a bit of mixed things). It's looking great so far! I read the latest Dev update and seen some video's on it. I think i'll be purchasing a pack soon, probably once the video that was talked about in the Dev update is released to be sure this is something I will enjoy. If there's any tips you guys think I should know or have any helpful information, all is appreciated. Thanks!

1 pointDon't think it will.. Every server has it's own world and database.. Official servers will share things in between probably clothing. housing, vehicles and money. While private servers will not get this data. BUT I do hope that they would implement the option to have multiple servers running on one database. So that I could rent 2 private servers but if I log off on server 1 and it's full I can join server 2 and I still have the same clothing, house, vehicle etc.
-
1 pointtrue, what I really wonder is if player balance can transition over from private to official servers. Providing that balance can transfer over I would have no problem with them.
-
1 pointEach server has it's own world. Official servers however will have some things connected to each other official server. The community private servers are not in anyway connected to any other server.
-
1 pointhaha, indeed I didn't say maybe. Would be a very cool feature. Let's be honest, I know you guys would like it as real as possible be we have to be real that it's a game. I should still be a game. It shouldn't fully represent real life.

1 pointHey everyone, I just wanted to share an idea about Electric and plug-in Hybrid vehicles. Being a person who pre-ordered a Tesla model 3 and an enthusiast of Electric Vehicles naturally I thought I should share this on Identity. In reality, I am the first in my family to make a pledge to never in my life touch a petrol or diesel pump and so far I have gone with my promise. I think that Identity should have a few Hybrid and fully Electric vehicle models to satisfy everyone in both your average vehicle sector and premium sports vehicles. I don't know if you need to put petrol in your cars in Identity but if you do I think it would be a cool idea to have some charge point infrastructure around the map but much smaller than that of Petrol stations to simulate the real world. Many companies offer home charging points and the Developers did say that you will have some limited exterior customization and this would be a neat little addition to charge your car at home. Minor public Network but possibility to open your own network as a business and set charge prices, parking etc... Manufacturers could produce these. Doesn't it take longer to charge than filling up a tank with petrol? Well... Yes, at home charging points it takes hours where as at public DC points it takes minutes. The way this could work in Identity is just to extend recharging times to something like 5x or 6x longer than it takes to fill petrol depending on the power output and vehicle. Electric Vehicle range can vary from 100 miles to 200 miles to 300 miles on a single charge, people can enjoy the instant torque on some EV models and more storage in vehicles for transport. Is this idea practical? That's up to you all to determine but I know that with instant torque ill be happy with any Electric vehicle that could be released in Identity. There is a lot of vehicle diversity so why not add a few charge points to the identity map, flare things up a bit and offer home owners and business owners the opportunity to install charge points to get more customers. Electric vehicle charging could open more possibilities for manufacturers to produce and deploy charging points for homes and stations, could you buy land to set up your own network? It would be cool to do something like that from land you might own (Not just charging, general ownership and management of land for whatever you want) What do charge points look like? That really depends on the country and county then companies like Tesla have their own network of Superchargers which charge your vehicle for 80% in 30 minutes (They can also use public stations) Here is a look at various charge points globally: The costs: Your average regular electric vehicle can cost anywhere from $25,000 to $35,000 while premium EV's (Electric Vehicles) can be from $65,000 to $115,000 and sports electric vehicles up to $200,000 Elected officials could amend rules based on Electric vehicles too, introducing or removing incentives and free or paid charging point access at government charge points (Excl. Privately owned) Here is a look at some common electric vehicles from each category: Tesla Model 3 ($28,000 - $35,000 standard version) Nissan Leaf (Avg. $27,000 standard version) Hyundai Ioniq (Avg. $20,000 Standard) Tesla Model X (From $80,000 - $115,000+ Premium Electric SUV) BMW i3 (From $35,000) BMW i8 (From $115,000) The question is, what do you all think? I know some people like the roar of an engine or find it unattractive to charge your vehicle but personally I firmly believe it would be a nice addition to Identity, the developers could always just make 2 or 3 models and a hybrid or two then see how it performs then offer more options in future updates. I hope I can own one of the above in Identity, thank you all! Regards, Air

1 point"Masks check, Bullets check, Bank to hit check, Power out check." Marco wearing a black Japanese dragon style mask to complement his suit "Wait if the powers out why do we need masks" Tuscan says in a comical flamingo suit "Two things, 1. to fit in. We can't leave Walter the only one with a mask 2. and you should know this you're the leader of 'The Golden Ones'... even if you don't expect heat, come packing" Marco replies "So how much money is in this bank" Jack asks in a white version of Marco's mask "about 8 million" Marco replies "You know this is not going to just be a walk in the park right Not Here" Tuscan says "The lobby's power is out but the vault will be in lock down" "Okay then put Mouse on the line get him to drop a drill outside" Jack says as Tuscan whips out his phone "Mhmm okay. Done, hey we're almost there" ( @ChimeraSix the fuck did you're character just die? @UnknownX I'll let you input one more post then we should start on the bank pm me so we can coordinate. Tuscan is a side character i needed a hackerman)

1 pointThe items you receive are items for the finished servers. The Town Square module is just a preview module. The level of studio or apartment you've pledged for will be available during the Town Square module, so you can try to customize that one. If you've pledged for a studio, one bedroom apartment, or a luxery one bedroom apartment, you'll get try that one out! If your pledge holds a vehicle as a bonus, you'll have to wait to try your car/motor. There won't be vehicles in the Town Square module. As for refunds, as far as I see they refund before the module gets released. I'm uncertain of what happens after that point. If I were them I'd close the refunds after the first module, or at least before the beta starts. But it's up to them. @LuckyDuck should be able to provide more info on this. There are other camera modes. The game defaults to third person even! But first person is accessible as well, as you've seen. You will be able to trade yes! And there's banking, so there's that. Getting murdered is not possible in safe zones (your own place, malls, or anything with metal detectors at the doors. And even outside, RDM'ing is harder because of an implemented stress system. The less stress your character has, the less damage it will take. It will work more complicated as this I'm sure. We'll see in time. The age I'm unsure of, but seeing kids are not in game, it's safe to say 18 or 21 as a minimum. Anything adult, just unsure which law they'll follow for this. I believe you can make an elder character, just unsure what the maximum age will be. You CAN eat and drink, but not doing so won't kill you. It will give you negative effects such as decreased stamina, to sum one up. There will be no monthly pay. Buy once, play forever. And the only planned micro-transactions are apartments, cars, clothing. Nothing to unbalance gameplay. And nothing you really need to play the game fair. About the being billed part. Yes you get billed for services like that. Police for example get passive pay, but most of their income still comes from arrests and other jobs they do. Safe to say EMT's will get the same treatment, or any government provided service. I don't know about a healthcare plan. I hope this suffices a bit. Also read the FAQ's. There's plenty (per subfora even!)

1 pointI appreciate the time you are taking off from your 3rd grade grammar course, but candidates don't ever donate to businesses, it's the other way around. I don't know why you would think that a lot of people want to join your party, but usually the qualities of a bad candidate are stupidity and delusions of grandeur. I wasn't joking, you are an awful candidate. 2/3 of your sentences are either illegible or simply illogical. What is your program by the way, you haven't stated any of your policies at all. I haven't lied about anything, I just pointed out the many flaws in your comments and posts. Seriously, are you a young child? No proper adult uses this sentence structure: Please stop.

1 pointBut making it into a career... good luck with that though. You'd have to be very skilled on the in-game instruments. Then again, we don't know if external input will be available. If MIDI input works for example, I could play an entire show on piano alone, for example. But as I see it now, musicians in Identity (whether it be in a bar, concert hall, etc.) will be kind of like street musicians in real life. Sure it's fun if someone drops you a few pennies, but it won't pay your rent. Unless they are very organised and bring something unique. And even then this would be one of the few exceptions to the rule. So I see it as a paid hobby in game, but not so much as a full fledged career. If I'm mistaken, and if people do pay you enough so you can get around in Identity, I'll be happy for you. But as I imagine it's going it to be, with the info we have, I doubt you'll have much luck making it into a career. Just my two cents.

1 pointI really do not see why people are saying that this is a Tyranny because it isn't. the only problem is that the tax seems pretty low. I don't see anything much done with these tax numbers, but of course it does feel nice to barely pay anything.

1 pointQ- What is this the goal of this organization? A- If you are part of this fraternity, then you have more of a chance of helping the people within the fraternity with any of their struggles and others who are struggling within the Identity Island, and help plan organized events to either raise money or jut to put a friendly smiles and fellow civilians. Q- Do we earn any money by being part of this fraternity? A- No, all the money that the fraternity earns from donations and from our pockets (not forced, but would be nice if you help out) goes to support charity organizations that we host and such. Q- Are there any set of rules we have to follow? A- The only thing that we try to focus on is the three pillars which are: 1. The cultivation of friendship among its members. 2. The acquirement individually of a high degree of mental culture. 3. The attainment personally of a high standard of morality. Q- Are we still allowed to be part of another gang and still be involved with illegal activities? A- Well since the point of this fraternity is to help each individual achieve to be the best that they can be and to excel their purpose in life, we let you be what ever it is you need to do, just as long as you don't turn on your fellow brothers. IF YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS, QUESTIONS, OR JUST INTERESTED JOINING REPLY OR DM ME (ALWAYS GLAD TO ANSWER ON ANYTHING YOU THROW AT ME)

1 pointThe first module isn't out yet, but it is nearing completion. The devs haven't given a time frame, but I would imagine it would be within a month or two.

1 pointI plan on becoming a politician, for the Conservative Coalition party (CCP). If you want to learn more about the parties agenda visit their website. I will first try to become a lawyer, which will help me understand the islands laws. This career should hopefully launch me into my career of politics. I plan on appealing to the conservative/libertarian voters. I plan on having smaller government, freedom of speech, concealed and open carry, low taxes, less business restrictions and legalized marijuana. If you are potentially interested in supporting me make sure you follow my page and remember my name. You can help the CCP by going to conservativecoalitionparty.com and registering.
