Star Citizen - Did you pledge & what do you expect?

[Adam_Spire]

What I'm actually afraid of is where would be the server based? would it be like multiple servers for different areas of the world like WoW? or just a single server ala disco to handle all of the players?

What I've heard is, that there'll be a single (main) server for everyone. However, there'll be a player cap for every system/area, so they won't get crowded too hard, making people's PCs burn.

Also, there are supposed to be private servers, too. And modding as I've heard. Sounds great so far.

This was one of the things Chris Robert's team was proud of. I watched a video where they talked about PVP instances. They have that main area were everyone is and when PVP starts, those players within the sphere of influence of the PVP are now in the PVP zone. The main area is informed that there is a zone setup and can enter or exit, but not return if they exit. Also, say the sphere has a cap of 20 ships, once the cap is reached, another PVP sphere is created. It spreads the load over servers on each sphere. What I thought was new, was if you're in PVP sphere 3, you can, if in range, see the events of PVP sphere 1 or 2 but not directly interact. That way you can reinforce that PVP sphere once your allies are killed.

I am sure there is a ton more to it, but there is a lot of money already in this. Some people are putting way WAY too much into it and I am afraid, knowing Chris Roberts, he will effect the issue of diminishing returns. Chris' video of "They thought I was dead, they thought pc games were dead, but I'll showem." Gives you an idea of the man's Ego. On the other hand, he is responsible for making dam fantastic games....just horrid movies.

I want SC to be amazing, but right now, I'm not putting a dime into this. The game's requirements are at the roof of my PC. I remember spending $75 for a 4MB SIMM chip in order to better play Wing Commander on a 386 CPU. Ah 12 Mhz.

Best I can hear from the CIC wing Commander folks I keep in contact with and other forums, this is Wing Commander/Privater. There is no way to see this and not those universes. However because Origin gave the shaft to Chris...(.or visa versa? ) You will see Easter eggs from both games in Star Citizen aplenty.

I'm just glad I can upgrade my video card and CPU...Oh I can see that being another $600....
