Even more likely (though still not very likely at all) is that I win the lottery and can give up the day job. Then you'll see how productive I can be  :cyclops:

i voted for the indidual reps. it is the most needed IMO and probably the most staightforward to code. it might also lead to dexter using a little more sense in his loaning.

i like the bugs, too, but no point in that until peds are finished enough, i think.

Agreed 4saken.
Per town/gang reputation would bring a new dimension in the game, if known pirates in a given location are not allowed to enter this town. :cyclops:

Well...then there's the other changes. Changes that will allow Sam to quit his day job.

From my perspective, that's what this world needs most. So I'm going to try a bit to help, but there has to be a better way to show people DarkWind than just hope they show up.

Anyone have a movie assembled we can post to  YouTube? How about recreating the viral aspect of the original ADQ? We have a quite a group of developers and vested interests from across the globe...how do we take this game mainstream? Before I even suggest the multiple blogs that would love to cover it...do we have our house in order enough to really bring in new players who don't know the inspiration?

That...oh man...showing people WHY it is fun...we could really unleash Sam on all our desires...

Perhaps that's just me...

OMG, are you serious? There were 40 responses total?

I suspect that since I skipped to the results, out of curiousity, I can't vote now? Well there's a reason...

SAM! Oh man, this is an active MMO and you got 40 responses? You created this incredible world and there are 40 people who care?! Really?

Seriously, folks, how do we help Sam spread the word and up the subscriptions?

Post your info about DW in any blog you are a party to....

If they allow it, add the Darkwind URL main page to your post..

There are LOTS more than 40 here.. All around the globe.
Use you personal chat rooms and blog-spots to show how good this game is!

There are 2 podcasts for download available if you click 'community' then 'podcasts' and one 'movie' done by Alo......... You might have to search for the movie.

I dunno how much active players there's in the game... but i know that 50% of my playing friends (2 :) ) don't read at all the forum.
So maybe there's other ppl that just play taking what's happen to the game with a silent agreement.

About spreadin DW to the masses, i ask to myself (without any judgement to the sam work): is this game able to support a mass of, say, 200 new player? I think that the bugs topic will increase a lot... imho sam can benefit from our "small" but active community until DW reach some developent stabiltiy...
i'm just reasoning to myself and, i repeat, i'm not telling anything bad to the sam work and his productivity.

Also imo a slow and steady growth, as it is right now, is better overall. Otherwise you could end up with an Eternal September.

(Though a slightly better rate of growth would be great...)

I've been trying to get my friend who works at a game magazine publisher to write something up about this game, but he said the best way to make sure it gets by the editor since he normally reviews ps3 games is to have his friend who does the indie spotlight do it so hopefully that works out.

You know, that slow and steady approach may be right after-all. Still, I'd love to see Sam and Co. developing full-time. The changes I've seen already are amazing...the potential of this thread alone is incredible.

I like these too. And psionics and giant insects.

The gang focus stuff would be great for more customization. Definetly would need to be able to switch it though, with a time period limit of switches like names, as was mentioned. Though probably not nearly as long.

Thanks for the reminder Seiler! I've now added this to my to-do list so it will get done... sometime...
