Jonric What do you consider the most important lessons you've learned, both as gamers and as designers, from other online games you've worked on and played?

J?rg Martin Schwiezer: The #1 lesson is "Don't rush things!" This is so true... especially for MMORPGs. Don't let yourself be pushed to release too early. The community will kill a developer and his game if they are being used as paying beta testers. That's the main reason why we had a beta test for over a year.

hmmm he obviously never took his own advice....

Btw I was looking for a world editor in a similar style to neocron, (not the same style I Dont want to open the map files, just want to see If I could do any better than KK...

wait neocron is a finished product dam and i thought we were about ready for beta 4

all jokes aside that man is an arse and you cant say arse without hole

Have you tried Valve's Hammer? It was a fairly intuitive editor when I played around with it.

urm yeah:



Thats around 200 hours of work, that I never finished lol cs_nightclub

It was close to a basic beta release but my CSS clan kinda folded, and there was no one to test it!

Ill test it delphi

I'm really into map creation and map experemintation. drop me a line and ill help ya test it

I think one of the major reasons I gave up with it was because I started some major remodelling (to allow acess to the roof) and then realised how much work it would be lol, never know it might get ressurected again at some point lol!

Yep, if you do fancy resurrecting it at some point, I'd happily help you test it as well.
