Ok, first:

Quote:

Thanks for the enthusiastic and boisterous response last week. :-)

I'm so glad someone around here has a sense of humor, lol.

Quote:

We’re not thinking about minimum number of users to survive. We’re thinking about growing growing growing. We wouldn’t choose to work on a dead-end project. Put all ideas of a user-countdown to self-destruction out of your head. This game is here to stay.

This looks good on paper now, just continue to back it up. Which leads to:

Quote:

We will be advertising as soon as we believe the game is ready for it.

I also believe this is the right move, but my only concern is how fast the player base is declining. I will be honest, there are MANY people sticking around just to see how it goes with the new coding. If the new code fails badly, another 20-30% of the players would likely leave :/ No pressure though, keep up the good work, lol.

The invite system looks like a DRASTIC improvement than the crapshoot trading we have now, so thanks for putting the time in to revamp that.

did you notice it only says Utopia blog and not Utopia Classic Blog? nice :)

>>> We expect to start the closed alpha next week, we’ll know better then. <<<

is this on gen, or some sort of private testing grounds?

tzar · 17-06-2009, 18:59

This makes me like you. A lot.

Luth, sounds like private testing grounds for alpha based on what they said, over at the utopia-game.com site (which is a hole atm :p)

Fate1316 · 17-06-2009, 19:09

They might want to reconsider the domain. Utopia-game will prolly be banned by most school/workplaces.

MorbidAngel · 17-06-2009, 19:35

I agree with what fate1216 said.

**Lydias** · 17-06-2009, 19:36

I think that is actually a point and I have flagged it.

17-06-2009, 19:38

Much better blog.

Good work :)

Just to take a crack at the domain

why not something like
www.UtopianBattlefields.com

Syele · 17-06-2009, 19:39

Removal of the word Classic is very appreciated. Still, as Fate mentioned, Game will be banned many places.

What will be the process for getting to help with alpha/beta testing?

utopianbattlefields is too long imo

VT2 · 17-06-2009, 21:49

Things sound promising, but I'm not going to get my hopes up until I see the finished product.

if it's going into a "private" alpha testing next week, when can we expect it to be put up on gen? a week beyond that? a month? a year from next tuesday?

MorbidAngel · 17-06-2009, 23:44

What is considered as private? I think i sent some mail for signing up but kill me if I remember if I did it or i am imagining :D

VT2 Needs to get out more Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Sweden Posts: 9,705	Things sound promising, but I'm not going to get my hopes up until I see the finished product. __________________ Catwalk's crusade for legalized cheating was a stunning success, with ghettos and low-tiered teams everywhere losing their wells of knowledge to better kingdoms in the process. Step one: replace everything that works. Step two: blame the predictable epic fail on outside forces. Step three: keep the community informed that no progress has been made since the last update. Step four: thank you for your patience.
