It start to be a bit off topic, but its not that easy as you say it is. Its very much up to where the person lives, in US then they have to follow the law about patent rights, but in north europe (where I live) are the privacy law put up over the patent law, and protects the private persons against those patent laws. To take an ex. Disney got some of their films copyed, spread out on the internet, they did try to put on a law sue, on some persons here, that did download the films, (they could prove it through IP addresses, packages etc.. But the law here protect them and say as long as it was for private use (non profit) then that counts for more than a law about patent right. (this did happend for real here) And there have been youtubers here that they have refused to take videos from their sites, because the internet privacy counts for more than patent laws, as it is here. But sure if you think Asylum have more funding than Disney to fight the law about patent rights (over a beta release good luck)

Its not that easy to get through at Youtube to take away a videoclip another user have posted, unless police are involved, and doubt they care about a beta from the game. (But sure give it a try) Im sure that the most seen youtubers will make that point clear that its on an early stage, alpha/beta (only first module etc.).

Well its nice that you ask, (or people in general ask) before just do things like filming the gameplay or interaction... There can happen 2 things: 1. The youtuber gives a terrible impression of the game (highly unlikely, but still who knows) 2. The youtuber gives an awsome review (more likely) of the game, and that brings more interest to the game. So to answer youre question it does falls a bit to the ground, because how will you prevent it, that someone (youtubers) are making ingame recording with a 3. party program, and then put it on Youtube. ? (the question kinda falls back to you). But in the end, why should they be against publicity, when the devs are doing a good job with the game ?

Its possible to have cash money on you, witch are kinda needed for illigal buisness so police cant see all what you are buying (ex. to buy drugs), I did not see on forum if that will be shown with a wallet.

I think that was a bit confusing answer to give... For 15 $ you buy a pre-order, thats the full game soon as it release, but you will not get the Beta access, so you will have to wait to try it untill they do the final release (for now its set to be in 2018) If you are interested in the full game, and beta access you will have to buy minimum the 30 $ package. (Founder pack) see below: Citizen Get your passport for access to Identity when completed and released (pre-order). Become a citizen! Includes: Passport, Founder Hat Buy Now$15.00 USD

Any picture you take with the camera you take you can print out and frame it, hang it up on wall if you want. But how much options there will be with the camera, are not comfirmed yet, but guess a zoom at least.

Here is the official answer: Currently we only accept paypal for security reasons, since Paypal does not provide us with private personal or financial information. We feel safer as a company by not collecting that data from our users. However, additional payment options will be available in the future! We have a web developer working on that feature now.

Think this should be under account support.

I dont know where you have that from, because that was not the answer I got. There was 2 main reason they dident implement it yet. 1. To use video rl videos can be abused (well alot of things can if thats what people really wants to do) 2. But more important... It take too much recource from the servers (Thats why I did say it should be possible with the ingame caracter instead of video clips) Regarding the issue if its profitable, there are two ways of solving that, and you are talking about one of them (that works just fine in RL where I live) are a public licence, funded by a tv licence (sort of a tax soultion),,there are no Commercials of any kind, and then you have the Commercial channels, that are funded by Commercials. In general then the public channels have longer and more deep-going programs, news and political debates, and the Commercials have more of easy going films, and light programs. (that is ofc just in general). I can not see why that should be an issue in the game, to get payed from local Companys, or political players that want to run for governor, to pay for the tv time for a spot to get a message out or a Company to get their buisness known on the server, it should be in their own interest.

All buildings are made identical on all servers, its only possible to change inside, as it is for now, maby that can change later, but im sure it will not be the first they will work with because this will take a lot of time to change programwise. I do like the idea, but dont expect that it will happen in near future.

I talked before about this very same issue, on another thread, and my point there was to be able to make a career as reporter, with options to try diffrent jobs within the TV station. And since this would be local for the server, then both twitch and youtobe would not be a media that fits for this. - I still think it should be made as an ingame option. It does not have to be a video showing the real players, but their caracter, when they talk, make interview or ex. are on the place on an onging bankheist, or police bust of a large drug deal. This could also be used (as told here on the thread) to cover a politicial debate, sponsored by local companys that want their names out. - This would fall to the ground on a Youtube or Twitch video (because its local material for a specific server), im not asking for this to work directly, as the first, but for sure something the devs should give a good thought to if its possible at some point. On top of that there are newspapers, and radios, I think there will be some kind of option to write some news articles ingame (think I did read about it somewhere here on the forum before), the radio should be possible by starting an online radio station, but again I think this should be done within the server, not a online radio station that all servers have acces to, if its local material they want to broadcast.

Rubbish... There are 10.000 players or more playing GTA Online, but they are not on the same server, there are at max 30 players on same server/session. And the appartments and officices are not unique, as they will be in Identity.

Regarding In World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, all 25-player raids - No where near 1000 players on same server. just to stop that nonsens about wow, its right that alot can play wow but they dont end up on same server once they first join. I think it very easy can be too crowded, if too many joins, and another risk are lag, special for those that dont have a super fast computer or internet connection. (for me personal I will have both, but not all are lucky to have that). And that are also an issue on other games, like GTA Online or other simular games. Actually I prefer less people, a bit more empty versus too crowded and too laggy, I just really hope they will think about it.

Well think of the map size, and if people want unique homes, (witch none for the games below have) it will get some kind of limitations. And I cant think of any game that have 10.000 players on same server. Here is an example: Starwars have 40 player battles on the large servers. Battlefield 1 support 64 players GTA can handle up to 30 players on same session. Identity will start with 300, and have been aiming for 1000, and with the cooperation with SpartialOS it might open up for more players on same server witch are quite unique for any game. So keep up the good work guys.

What does that have to do with an ingame career as a reporter ? (Where other players can see the news program on the ingame tv). If I wanted to be seen as youtuber then I would allready have been doing it, witch I dont.

When im talking about "live" broadcasts, its with the caracter, not live sending as a youtubers. So I do think it could be possible, that a job as a "reporter on place" ex. at a bank that are getting robbed, sending to a tv studio, that are reporting as a news station through the tv. - That would not require that much more programming other than the already ongoing ingame action. Well as I sayd for a future idea, ofc at any abuse then the tv station can be shut down with all of its assets, im sure most will stay inside the frames so to speak.

More likely there will be a french person that rent a server, make it official its a french server, with invite only of french people. Any other country will most likely do that at some point, when or if they want to after final release.

There are 3 dense citys, and 4 residential areas (not that dense citys) - And then it explains what the other areas are thought to be, but this is an older video, and they can have changed quite alot, there have been rumor about planing to make more city areas but that have not been confirmed yet what I know.

There seem to be 4 bigger residential areas, this can ofc be changed before they release it. Try look on this video (and pause it) at 54 sec. there are an overview of the map, where its explained what the diffrent areas are about.

Im thinking if this have to be player based. then im sure some players will have some sceduled trips to diffrent citys, maby even a city buss, but lets be realistic, ex a citybuss to drive around 24/7 in every city, how many players do you think that need to be hired in order to have the buss running at all time. and youre talking of several busses in each city and between the citys on diffrent routes. Im not saying its impossible, but serious doubt its something the devs have to program in to the smallest detail., It will be player controlled and those buss companys (that will be player controlled) will set time and place, and then try to find drivers needed. Regarding the busses, then im sure the devs will look on how a buss work, and will come pretty close to a real buss work.

True its not confirmed that you can own a grocery store, but people that have a farm can sell to a grocery store, and its possible to Cook food, so guess it will have some kind of function, like a health system.

As far as I know the most will be done through contracts, delivery will be done for those with right type of car or career (ex. truck driver), and if no real Life player can take it then a NPC will do the delivery, but will take longer time. Regarding alpha, and release date look here:

ok cool, good luck with it

It still does not make any sense, you say the money will come from the investments, my question was from where do you get the money to do the investments. Its like youre skipping quite a few steps in youre plan. And then you lost me in the thinking or youre buisness plan. People are starting with a minimum of ingame dollars, (even the 500 dollars package are limited amount of ingame dollars) its not possible to buy ingame money (at least on how it looks now), so youre investments require that you (and youre Company) have some kind of ingame money to invest with in the first place, witch I can not see how you plan are to get, and same time time you have a scedule of 45 people that you are writing that you want to have under you. Well now you writed 5+ people that you wanted to start to hire, again how will you pay them without any income ? I belive that alot of people would like to get a loan or investment to start up a buisness at some point, but then we are talking about several 100K ingame dollars for each investment, and then they will need time to pay that back, and I guess with some interest, if you had that money and are prepared to loose those money then ok, but as it is for now it does not make any sense. If you sayd you wanted to make micro-loans then I think it could be a good buisness, it have been a very profitable buisness in many countrys, by making loan in smaller ammount, without any security, but are charging fairly large interest. Often are people paying back, because its not more than they can afford to make again over some days. (even in real life). When you or youre company have alot of money then I can see an Idea in youre investment plan.

There have been given answer to this before. Final release will not be before 2018. First alpha (on module Townsquare) will most likely be out mid april, if all will go as planned. Check on status here: http://www.identityrpg.com/info/modules/
