This is a question not a suggestion!
« on: March 17, 2010, 05:36:19 PM »
Based on the last week update we have >3500 members so I was just wondering:

How big is the server? (i.e will it fit 300, 500, 700 or 1100 players )
How many server will there be? Server Name?
Can one character move freely between servers or will stuck in just one? 
The more I learn the more I know.The more I know the more I forget.The more I forget the less I know...So why bother?

PS: I do know it all it just that I can't remember all at once.

1000 players per server

2 for now (3 actually but 1 is our webserver). We don't have enough money to buy more.

Characters are bound to a server

1000 people per server nice. But I doubt every single person who registered is going to be playing right? So lets hope we dont have TOO many people wanting to play ;) lol

As soon as servers open up to the public, the game is going to get huge. Are servers expensive to keep open/make a new one ?

A dedicated server cost around 100 dollar a month. As for our co-located server in The Netherlands it's 180 euro every 3 months.

So it really depends on the country what the prices are. The servers we place in The Netherlands are co-located which means we have to buy the actual server first. With dedicated servers you just rent the server from the company.

The EU servers are payed from our "pocket money", from weekend jobs. The USA server it's first payment has been done with the donations we got.

We hope so. Even if the donated amount is not much, we're happy with all the help we get.

About donation!
Will the donor receive anything in return except for the game a small praise?
Most private server give out award / special privileged to encourage player to donate. Sometimes it helps the server have some extra money for upkeep and in others it just upset the balance of the server between non donate and donate player causing the non donate player to eventually quit  the game?
What are the administrators thought on this subject?

When the game is released (as in open beta) we'll probably add special in-game stuff for donors. For now the only thing donor gets (from a certain total amount of money) is a special status on the forum (which will also give them access to the donor board where the PU team posts secret stuff 8))

obviously we are to be kept out unless the information is important to be released to us. :) That's how evil they are to us in their dark side. :)

I hope that a lot of people start to donate, but I also hope a lot of people don't start playing this game right away. If too many people are playing and you don't have enough money to keep enough servers running, there will be some major problems...

Back to original topic: Wow, >3500 people and I managed to get the name Mr Pokemon?! :o

haha, well.. I guess you would've managed to get Pokemon if you wanted to... or even Cpt. PLanet, Spiderman and Godzilla to name a few. Seems like it's pretty easy coming up with a name with this "few" users. ;D
