Some type of money sinks will be required other than rent. Car maintenance, property tax, etc. Otherwise people will naturally begin to horde cash and when enough is in circlation the server will either have to generate more ( inflation ) or let the economy stagnate. But I am.interested in seeing it all play out myself.

Hello! Access to the first module will be next March. The project is divided into three pre-release "modules" that each provide additional functionality. After all three are released we should get a full Beta release. The modules are small portions of finished gameplay for us to check out during production. When the Beta releases you should be notified. Hope this helps.

I like this and dislike this. I like it due to realism but if you combine this with permadeath (which I also like ) I'm afraid people may feel cheated if they get to medical services and were hurt by something unforeseeable. But as I said, i enjoy both but maybe not together. Still, these are great questions I'd like to know more about, as well.

Hello, all. Just joined the website after watching the dev trailer on YouTube. This is a project that I feel very passionate about as the premise is something that I always dreamed of as a little kid playing my NES. I pledged a modest amount ( what I could ( for now ) ) and hope that the devs make the most of it. I hope to see you all in-game when this thing gets up and running.

Good evening, all, I apologize if this question has already been asked an answered but regarding the "server rental" option I heard about on the YouTube dev trailer, will that be the only option for running ones own server ( renting a hosted server ) or will there ever be an option to download the server files and host the service on our own? For example, I have a mini-rack at home that I use for a file server. I'd be interested in running the game off of something like that if possible. Second part: If the only options will be renting a hosted server or playing on a hosted server / official server, what will the price be for renting a server if one has been determined. Again, sorry if this has been asked and answered. I am currently going through the forums and watching videos for more info.

Nice. Thanks for the info.

In a sense MT but I was thinking more along the lines of a game like World of Warcraft where you have a monthly recurring subscription fee or if Identity was planned as a 1 time payment and you own it deal

Understandable. Renting probably wouldn't be something I'd want to do right out of the gate regardless but it does pique my interest. Price-wise I'd assume the cost associated with it would come down once the game is fully online and has a growing community. I also didn't think to mention this but, as it's being labeled an "MMORPG" what sub fees have been mentioned?

I went with founder but did have a hard decision deciding to go that route or an upgraded route. I didn't want to have too much given to me right out of the gate but definitely wanted to get in on this early. I mean. . .I NEVER get in early on things like this so when I learned about this project I wasn't missing the boat.
