Terry, we're closing in on a year that SG has been out of beta, and available to the public for purchase/download. How has the number of players over this past year fluxuated and declined from August 2001 until now? What was the least/most number of players achieved? * ThePoliceStoleMyCar has left #planetsg.net * Slyborg has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 96 * [BV]MyRrAr`X has quit IRC (Connection Closed) * DontUHateTK has left #planetsg.net Well currently we're doing ok with our population, we're averaging around 500 constant users on the weekdays * joypunk sets mode: +l 94 dropping down to the mid 300's for the night times * sdsd has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * muffdvr has joined #planetsg.net * [BV]MyRrAr`X has joined #planetsg.net err i mean night time for us, or as most people know it, during the singapore hours which isnt too bad for a mmog * joypunk sets mode: +l 95 so now, we've basicaly stabilized somewhat and we're just concentrating on slowly increasing our numbers over the next few months Terry, quick question How does this boad for SG survival? sure mix As in, you know, it takes money to keep it up.. Are we in the clear? Our players have no worries at all about the longevity of SG * SlobKnob has quit IRC (QUIT: CGI:IRC 0.5) we'll be here for a long time to come Good, I'm sure they are happy to learn that. :) * SlobKnob has joined #planetsg.net I think we will start pulling questions and suggestions from our community in put at this time. So to start things off we have a question from Wolfaro. * DontUHateTK has joined #planetsg.net yeah so currently we arent doing to bad, of course we would always love to have more people chat.extremexweb.com Wolfaro asks: Why does Nexon stop selling SG renewal cards in singapore? Woops...typo. :-) haha... no spell checks on irc paul * DrXDeAtH has joined #planetsg.net We are still seeling them in Singapore... * joypunk sets mode: +l 97 Actually SG renewal cards should still be on the shelves in Singapore Just not as many currently as when SG was first available. * Rommica has joined #planetsg.net we've actually just sent them 5000 new codes recently and our sister Company Nexon Asia should have them printed out and available very soon * joypunk sets mode: +l 98 So, as demand for SG is strong there, we are doing our best to meet demand. * ZerleX has joined #planetsg.net ComYarrick has this to say: Hi. I just want to know how is 'nerfing' or balancing of units done. How do you decide whether which units are too strong and which units are too weak? Is it due to comments by players? the community? or do ya guys do your own play-testing? Hope you guys can shed a light into this. Thanks Basically we use a combination of several things * joypunk sets mode: +l 99 * SGC_Tourist575 has joined #planetsg.net actually Ops will take this one as he's the master balancer around here * Landon_DarkAges has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 101 There is a pretty signifigant series of formulae and charts that we use to graph out the power levels of our units and items. * ChrisN sets mode: +o Gaiden I think we have over 2000 items by now, so it can get very complicated when getting down to minute numbers. Community input is also appreciated, using the boards...that kind of hands-on feedback makes a big difference too. * Corlax has joined #planetsg.net * Gabeps3 has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 103 Alright, here's a follow up to the population question I asked earlier PSG Staff Question:Xcruiser> You mentioned that you want to increase the player population for SG, which is definitely a goal for every online game. Are there any special promotions that the SG community would be interested in coming up that you believe will bring in more players? ahhh i'm sure paul can answer this one * ahrong has left #planetsg.net * mazikeen has joined #planetsg.net * Mix sets mode: +v KillerKid|GettinRares Currently, we have the big Summer of SG campaign running on the Sg site...this is geared to expose the game to new potential players and give something back to our current players * KillerKid|GettinRares is now known as KillerKid * fourrrr has joined #planetsg.net If you haven't seen it yet, check it out at at the main website :-) * Wyte|SG has joined #planetsg.net * SgGod has joined #planetsg.net * MaddHatterAZ has joined #planetsg.net Sounds good :) We have other plans in the works too for the fall, to enhance SG's profile...just keep an eye out on us. * joypunk sets mode: +l 107 * Wyte|SG has left #planetsg.net * mavx sets mode: +l 106 Alright, let's get Terry involved on this next one :) He's dodging left and right,heh * ILoveStats has joined #planetsg.net PSG Staff Question:Xcruiser> Terry mentioned before that Shattered Galaxy, in its current state, was more of a representation based on kone and wei55's "image". What changes do you plan on making to make this game more "yours"? * WyteHeart has joined #planetsg.net hmmm good question * joypunk sets mode: +l 108 So actually right now we are working on some new ideas and changes that we hope to implement that will give it a more of a tactical feel something Ops and I are really keen on for this game The game, like most MMOGs, is a work of evolution...growing, changing. We definitely are aiming to open up the possibilities for how SG can play. * Thargor has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 109 bitziz asks> SG has been out for awhile now, if we also include the beta time that means SG has been out for more than 2 years. How do you see the future of SG? What are the things that you think should be worked on and what should be changed? What are the realistic chances of SG2? * Ralliart has joined #planetsg.net whoa Big question :-) :) * SgGod has quit IRC (Ping Timeout) ok as for future of SG, we're seeing a long and healthy future for SG we are going to continually work to improve the quality of the experience * {MIA}FallenAngel709 has joined #planetsg.net * WyteHeart has quit IRC (QUIT: ) Some of the things you can expect for is the change in the more tactical direction * WyteHeart has joined #planetsg.net for example, placing more emphasis on clever unit design * lXlETlXl has joined #planetsg.net So we can expect to see more variation in units? we are working on new items and armors that will really let players be creative in their chassis designs most definitely Chrisn * joypunk sets mode: +l 111 * TPSMC has joined #planetsg.net one big example is a bigger emphasis on weapon and armor types * SgGod has joined #planetsg.net * TPSMC has left #planetsg.net * lTwiztedl has joined #planetsg.net stuff like, that, or more options for what type of gun or even ammo to equip * joypunk sets mode: +l 113 * Pine14 has joined #planetsg.net i mean we really have some cool ideas that we are looking to implement as for the chances of SG2 right now, SG2 is still in the early design phases * joypunk sets mode: +l 114 * Spectral has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * joypunk sets mode: +l 113 * Lord_Jello has joined #planetsg.net PSG Staff Question:Xcruiser> Are there any plans in the works that push each of the unit chassis types into a more unique role? This question is especially directed at Mobile/Aviation, as they seem to have very little Special abilities other than Cloak(which is more Miscellaneous). Alien division is another. * joypunk sets mode: +l 114 * lTwiztedl has left #planetsg.net Short answer: No. * mavx sets mode: +l 113 actually, thats a really good question what we're hoping to do is diversify the units instead of specializing them in that way give players much more flexibility and freedom with the unit design * Gotrexx has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 114 CReM asks > Now that Shattered Galaxy has been out for almost a year, and that a majority of characters have reincarnated, do you have any plans to allow reincarnated characters to have superiors? Perhaps restricting superiors to only those that have more reincarnations? I've reincarnated once, and I know I could still learn alot from a superior. * Disasterman has joined #planetsg.net * ChanServ sets mode: +o Disasterman Wassup! hahah sup Dman! * {MIA}FallenAngel709 has quit IRC (Connection Closed) Welcome to the chat Disasterman :) welcome :) * Nexon has joined #planetsg.net actually the main reason for the Word of Honor was for the true fresh recruits, for a way to give an incentive to veteran players to teach and assist them * joypunk sets mode: +l 115 * mavx sets mode: -d thank you, mavx. Greetings to our fellow SGers :) Nexon, please change your name :) To reach the stage of even reincarnating once is a major milestone for a player we really treat reincarnated heroes as a true veteran player that is one of the reasons we don't move them down to Relic as they reincarnate * Nexon was kicked by Disasterman (You are a clown that does not amuse me)(—I-n-v-i-s-i-o-n—) * Nexon has joined #planetsg.net * Disasterman sets mode: +b *!*j@*.glstrt01.nj.comcast.net * Nexon was kicked by Disasterman (Okay, you're still a clown and now you are banned.) for this reason, by reincarnating you need to forgo some of the ease and convenience we do give the newer players trying to learn the game GamingGod asks > How come when i try to pledge it has no factions open? I got characters from each faction and looked at what factions were available, and none were open. What's up? Thanks. Perhaps you could clarify the requirements for pledging * joypunk sets mode: +l 114 The original pledge system was designed by wei55, and even he was confused by it (ok, not really). * FlamingDonut is now known as Donut|AWAY * sote has joined #planetsg.net The pledge process checks each hero's power, and then divides that by a factor of thier played time, as well as thier total played time. * joypunk sets mode: +l 115 Other things such as thier unit power, and stat choice factor in. The pledge system calculates all this power data for each faction, hourly. * Darkfury907 has joined #planetsg.net When a player tries to pledge, the pledge system will simulate the player's pledge and see how much the balance will shift if the player is allowed to pledge out. * Corlax has quit IRC (Ping Timeout) Remember that each time a player pledges, the faction he is leaving gets weaker, and the faction he is joining gets stronger. * CantTouchMe has joined #planetsg.net Sometimes the player's pledging out of a faction would make it too weak to compete, so the player is not allowed to pledge anywhere. * joypunk sets mode: +l 116 The system isn't perfect, but we're working on it constantly. * JeFf| has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 117 mavx > Do you guys have any immediate (or long term?) plans for the SG Political system? This is a broad question, but it seems as though so much as been left without attention since the early days of beta... * qqlaa has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 118 We have some long term plans that we hope to implement :) Any elaboration? we are still in the design stage for it right now, but we are considering a project where faction's would have a treasury did they ever alter it i think its same as it was when it started * Cutting_Edge has quit IRC (QUIT: ) and the possibility to research technical improvements for the overall faction * Pine14 has quit IRC (QUIT: ) as well as the ability to sabotage other faction's research * joypunk sets mode: +l 116 * Lord_Jello has left #planetsg.net * Mk2 has joined #planetsg.net PSG Staff Question:Xcruiser> As was discussed in a few previous chat sessions, the RTS part of Shattered Galaxy has come to a satisfactory level in your minds. Aside from bug squashing, the RPG was the next part of SG that you said would be stressed. Care to comment on things that would be seen in the future with these RPG enhancements, and possibly an idea of what you're looking to do? * ILoveStats has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * Madcatz has joined #planetsg.net actually, we discovered that we still have some work to do on the RTS side * Mk2 has quit IRC (Connection Closed) so we've actually refocused back to the battlefield * lAnthaeusl has joined #planetsg.net for the RPG aspect, we're working on ways of making the heroes and units even more unique and of course, we're always looking for suggstions (we'll get to those after the questions) * Xarrin has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * joypunk sets mode: -b *!*j@*.glstrt01.nj.comcast.net * Mk2 has joined #planetsg.net I've got a long question here next. =) * Swampy has joined #planetsg.net sure thing jp * xcruiserStopAskinQuestions has joined #planetsg.net Darkfury907 asks > My question focuses mainly on the player community aspect of the game will we see any changes in the near future that would allow players to interact more with their own faction and people outside of it. Things such as maybe a special planet where players could just go hang out and the planet would be neutral you could also start some sort of player economy this way by making players able to trade units/weapons/rares and maybe have m * mavx sets mode: +b *!*@pcp047941pcs.trnrsv01.nj.comcast.net * xcruiserStopAskinQuestions was kicked by mavx (Talk to the foot!) * SGC_Tourist575 has quit IRC (QUIT: CGI:IRC 0.5 (EOF)) * Communisma has joined #planetsg.net So this was one of our ideas we had to promote more socialization * joypunk sets mode: +l 117 we are still considering a new "moon" planet where people regardless of faction could just go to hang out * SirDarby has quit IRC (QUIT: ) or go sim together * SirDarby has joined #planetsg.net VvV asks> Do you plan on coming out with any new units soon? * zzzzzzzzz has joined #planetsg.net Short answer: No. * joypunk sets mode: +l 118 * Ravager has joined #planetsg.net To elaborate.. There are already close to 50 units in SG, each with mark upgrades. Well, sort of no....Ops has this covered * SirDarby has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * SirDarby has joined #planetsg.net * sote has quit IRC (Connection Closed) Alot of the units are accused of bleeding into each other and having no uniqueness. So we'd focus on improving the current units first. So the flaming AA duck unit is just a false rumor? :( yes, but we are still mulling over the idea of a flaming aa unit duck... not goose? just won't be the "duck" * lAnthaeusl has quit IRC (QUIT: ) It would probably look like an ugly purple box.. the duck goes quack The cow goes moo soudns good to me looks dont matter its the quality inside right? the cow goes moo haha * joypunk sets mode: +l 117 * lAnthaeusl has joined #planetsg.net b0fh asks > Any chance of having the mercenary feature reinstated? * lAnthaeusl is now known as CHECK * CHECK is now known as MY * mavx sets mode: +d Short answer: ... LOL * joypunk sets mode: +l 118 * Disasterman claps at the answer Well.. mercenaries didn't work out very well during thier first attempt. * Disasterman agrees quite strongly basically if something blows up once dont light it again? There is some consideration to a new way of being a merc, but I can't say much about how it will work right now, if we do it at all. hehehe, well i'll do the short answer thing this time ... yes mercs will be back good answer :) Let me thank everyone again for joining. If I may for a second. We would like you to know that our friends from SG-City.com are here. KillerKid and Bitziz GirlwithGun could not be here tonight. bitz is leaving actually its jsut gonna be me As you all know, this is a PlanetSG chat, and all questions and answers are to be conducted by PSG Staff. * MY has quit IRC (QUIT: ) We are grateful that they have joined, we just wanted to clear the air on that however. Ok, back to the questions. * joypunk sets mode: +l 117 gotrexx asks > Do you see in the future of SG having factions battle over planets, for instance each faction might have a homeworld and as each faction expands they fight over planets with the loser having to retreat to a safe planet in their territory, and the winner basiclyy takes the planet as another jump point? * Donna has joined #planetsg.net * sote has joined #planetsg.net * Jeco has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 120 Thats a very interesting idea if we do consider implementing something like that, it wouldnt be something we could have out soon * talcite|slow|sg has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 121 * ZerleX has quit IRC (QUIT: ) PSG Staff Question:Xcruiser> We're pretty sure you are well aware of the unit AI problems, but once this has been fixed, do you plan on creating an NPC element(non-alien) that would fuel SG's RPG side? * joypunk sets mode: +l 120 * lAnthaeusl has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 121 We did have plans and have actually done some work for a rpg system like that but after starting it we found that it was pretty ambitious, and warranted further evaluation Basically, what it comes down to is, if it is the best fit for the SG community. That's an ambitious question in itself. mavx > As we all know the current SG bbs is nothing to be too excited about. Will this fairly important part of SG get a makeover anytime soon? Aside from the obvious "security" issues, perhaps regiment boards could be added.... * Madcatz has quit IRC (Connection Closed) * Madcatz has joined #planetsg.net * sote has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * BA has joined #planetsg.net * Thesus has joined #planetsg.net In the near future, Stratics is slated to add a new board system for SG. This will offer players another opportunitity to present their views about the game -- and at a very well-respected site for MMOGs * joypunk sets mode: +l 122 is thsi ingame or offgame? The in-game BBS, granted, is another matter :-) This is out of game. * Fyrestarter has quit IRC (QUIT: 4-=º<×>12[4 °W10ang 4S10cript4° 12]4<×>º=- 5.0 Pro 0,2at 4http://wangscript.wangproducts.net) SgGod asks > Will units be able to fire their weapons without having to stop, fire, stop, etc. Such as constant moving and firing weapons and moving without stoping. * joypunk sets mode: +l 121 due to the underlying architecture of the current engine, this is not really a possiblity, but it will be feature we are strongly pushing for sg2 * Minax has joined #planetsg.net I think we'll change modes here and start throwing in some of the Community Suggestions. * Lance has left #planetsg.net sounds cool You can still submit questions through the website (www.planetsg.net/question/) However, we'll be focusing on Suggestions now * Lance has joined #planetsg.net Atomix says > My Suggestion: A new menu in game (similar to the current one that has the buttons for portals, factory, etc.) but has buttons that link to an in-game web browser. The in-game browser would link to the SG website, or a more simplified version of it (ie mainly text, less images) with links to the War Room, News, Community, etc. for simplified SG functionality without having to ever leave the game to perform functions like pleding. * Swampy has quit IRC (QUIT: 15,1°ShowDowN v11 PrO°1 since 1996: 16,1http://www.sci.fi/~showdown/) * fourrrr has quit IRC (QUIT: ) Any thoughts on making the website available in game? * joypunk sets mode: +l 120 So things such as pledging or ordering aboms could be done without exiting? hmmm thats a great idea, we'll definitely consider it, of course having allows you do those things without exiting * Klondike has joined #planetsg.net * Swampy has joined #planetsg.net I think this is something we've all been wanting. * joypunk sets mode: +l 122 musashi suggests > If possible user defined formations be savable on local drive so that these formations would not be lost after logout. yes, we are working on that right now * Xcruiser has quit IRC (Ping Timeout) you can expect to see it done very soon Any plans for the Royal Rumble? * joypunk sets mode: +l 121 * [HeBe]TeR has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 122 * Mk2 has quit IRC (Connection Closed) Mystaria > Option for a "Force Close" to prevent mobbing, Option for BC and RC to boot a user out of a battle (Case he is no help), Also regiments are using "Anti Air" markers etc for regi battles, Allow us to make our own DEDICATED marker with custom color, Last is for Sappers mines to have diff colors to help allies see which is which, EMP is blue, DMG is same as now. Manlets to have a TRUE APC mode and not abuse the bug. yes we are considering bringing the Royal Rumble back * Disasterman claps * joypunk sets mode: +l 121 * talcite|slow|sg has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * talcite has joined #planetsg.net * DontUHateTK has quit IRC (QUIT: ) Cool terry.. that q was from CantTouchMe btw. * IntoTheFray has joined #planetsg.net * Donna has quit IRC (Connection Closed) Well, for the regiment stuff.. Regiments were intended to bring the faction community together and encourage everyone to participate. They were not designed to allow filtering and segregation. * Donna has joined #planetsg.net So I do not think we will be supporting something like that. * ComYarrick has joined #planetsg.net * Mk2 has joined #planetsg.net * Mullitard has joined #planetsg.net Acheron > Even unit leveling rates, with units balanced accordingly (diff strengths/weakness) * joypunk sets mode: +l 124 Acheron, ok * Hg-203 has joined #planetsg.net * Stormchaser has joined #planetsg.net Fallacy > Whether it would be possible or not, I don't know.. but it would be nice to put together set groups of units in the 'unit deployment' screen. Currently, if you have more than one unit type in your rein squad, you have to filter through and find those one or two units along with the rest, which can be a bit tedious. Fallacy > Perhaps you could place group numbers on the top of the screen, and you could make a squad of units 'group one', etc.. This would allow faster decision making of what units to use during those crucial last minute pocs/defenses. Thank you for your time :} * joypunk sets mode: +l 126 * Thargor has quit IRC (QUIT: ) This was our original idea for squads * Muaddid|work is now known as Muaddid * joypunk sets mode: +l 125 w00t im not too late ! but due to the remote reinforcement feature, the this was made impossible SEANstev had a question relating to the additions to the Sgalaxy site With PlanetSG.net and SG-city.com both being stable community websites why did you feel the need to change your site into one that interacts with the players more and covers the aspects that those sites already cover? * darkmajik has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * joypunk sets mode: +l 124 Also, is there any scheduled time when the "enhancements" will be finished, or will it be a continually evolving site? * Vengerarrow has joined #planetsg.net * LoserBoy has joined #planetsg.net We felt it was important to improve the look and feel of the website, to improve the sharpness and content in the site. SG-City and PlanetSG.net offer a lot of unique content on there own, as well, apart from our site. each of these sites serve a unique function, but with some overlap. * joypunk sets mode: +l 126 * HnRNoTti has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * joypunk sets mode: +l 125 * [HeBe]TeR has left #planetsg.net * ReTroCAT has joined #planetsg.net Shattered Galaxy is the official site and is the first resort for players when they need to know certain information. The fan sites, though, offer quite a depth of data we cannot and do not offer. It's a good synergy. MasterOfPing > Make clout give better upgrades, especially base armor and speed, and balance armors to be better relative to the space they take then their tech level. * Xjap-Sg has joined #planetsg.net * darrenly has joined #planetsg.net The current armors will become obsolete with the elemental-type armors. * talcite has quit IRC (Kill by NickServ (GHOST command used by CReM)) * talcite has joined #planetsg.net On a somewhat related note of armor: FlamingDonut >The idea of having more kinds or armor and weapons is very good. But what about their looks? You should make every armor make units look different, such as if an imp were you wear kevlar ultimate armor, a kind of picture of that type of armor would show up ON THE UNIT. That would be very creative! Thankz! Elements being similar to leviathan elements.. not that fantasy fire air earth wind stuff.. * joypunk sets mode: +l 127 * LoserBoy has left #planetsg.net * Deathblade has joined #planetsg.net Having units appear differently with armors was the reason that we held off the implementation of elemental armor types. But its not really feasible to have units appear differently with the current engine. We'd have to make thousands of unit variations and our artists would probably hate us for even asking.. * Kurupt has joined #planetsg.net * Mk2 has quit IRC (Connection Closed) * Kurupt has left #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 126 Lance > Have a help system like Ultima online so players can be helped my Nexon staff instead of being yelled at by veteran players. Nexon is a smaller company, and we offer the maximum support with a minimum of staff...butt he idea is a good one in principle :-) darkfury907 > Lately with the alien planets being opened and many people getting access to the lethal armageddon sd there new tactic especially for crater seems to be just rein arma all their units and retreat repair and do it again my suggestion would be to make armageddon have a charge timer to it... darkfury907 > such as 1 min by doing this you would be able to stop people comming from the star portal using armageddon and then repairing there to do it right again and it would be a lot easier to defend against if you could have atleast some time to find sappers b4 they just walked in and blew everything away. * kbd has joined #planetsg.net * RelicWeaponX has joined #planetsg.net * Pressure2500 has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 129 actually implementing the timer for an already existing ability is pretty tough * NoBody has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 130 the thing is it would actually be easier to change the design of crater * Tittman has left #planetsg.net and that is what we're considering, making the armageddon device less effictive for that particular province * joypunk sets mode: +l 129 If you dont mind me butting in here, but regarding Sapper dynamite, will the "bug" related to retreating and still having the dynamite out in the field so that you may reinforce and blow it, be fixed? * NoBody has left #planetsg.net yes mav Grubby > Allow for mulitple unit configurations that you can choose just before reinforcement. Possibly limit the number of slots that can change so difference is not major. * joypunk sets mode: +l 128 I think Grubby wants to allow for units to have different saved configurations. Say, if you had both Laser Moths for quick killing, or Armored moths for Poccing Do you want GA pegs or GG pegs? you could just switch between the two on the fly. ahhh i see, hmmm, well that would require a lot of changes to the interface * Grim has joined #planetsg.net it would be something we couldnt do for a long time, this is something we'd really need to look into Is that a nice way of saying "maybe for SG2?" :) not exactly, but yeah * Ravager has quit IRC (Connection Closed) Its possible, but hard. It would eat up alot of time that could be spent on other stuff. * ZephyrousX has joined #planetsg.net ie the next evolution of SG to suit your vision of the game :) I think that pretty much sums things up, but don't go away yet! * Swampy has quit IRC (QUIT: ) Nexon will be "tallying the votes" here soon on the Best Suggestion and Best Question one last question :) sorry oh fine mav hurry it up =P lol Donna > Ops, are chimera's ever going to get AA and GG only weapons again? * Vengerarrow has left #planetsg.net * mavx sets mode: +l 127 * STROKER has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * joypunk sets mode: +l 126 * NoBody has joined #planetsg.net * joypunk sets mode: +l 127 * Disasterman is now known as BigDaddyDis Hmm. I think ops has already left to tally the votes. Sorry Donna Ok, so I get the stage In the meantime, Mix has something exciting to tell you. *taps the mic* Is this thing on? ahem... * Mix clears out throat LOL Ok guys :) You all have been wondering what the X is all about I'm sure. Well, I think it's time we let you in our the little secret. Some of you may have already figured out that yes, PSG IS behind this, and you'd be correct. Sometime ago, Disasterman purchased a domain so we could play around. And with that, we've been sitting on an idea to take a different step with the site. One that took away old restrictions and created new situations. A site in which, we would NOT cover any other massive online game, but we'd actually do things for other games. and Do SG. * Anna has joined #planetsg.net We ALL play other games, not just SG, and we want to share those experiences with you. * BA has quit IRC (QUIT: ) Also, as for the SG community, I'm taking the rules away and letting all hell break loose. There is nothing like having a real voice, even if WE don't like it. So, PSGX is born. and Planet Shattered Galaxy will soon be a different site. Right now we are working on a new layout, and I'm paying a guy that has done websites for Tom Green of MTV Fame Ice T, of Cop Killer fame lol and the movie, The Sixth Sense * Smash has quit IRC (QUIT: ) and Disney and the Muppets * joypunk sets mode: +l 126 He hasn't shown me the layout as of yet, but has assured me, it will knock our socks off. :) * WyteHeart has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * Gabeps3 has quit IRC (QUIT: ) If you would, please join #PSGX, as it will be our new irc channel. * TheMaster has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * Stormchaser has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * Anna has left #planetsg.net * DrXDeAtH has quit IRC (QUIT: ) The great thing about X at this moment is, that we are all excited at the moment. This means, you get a voice! and the exodus begins lol * Asmoden has quit IRC (QUIT: ) I posted something in our open forums asking about your opinions, and I mean it! * DrXDeAtH has joined #planetsg.net You WILL have a hand in PSGX, and it WILL show. One thing however, we want to be called PSGX No more Planet Shattered Galaxy spelled out * joypunk sets mode: +l 120 you will simply know who we are, and PSGX is now the name * NoNicK has quit IRC (QUIT: Gone.) * Swift[SLEEP] has joined #planetsg.net * SirDarby has quit IRC (QUIT: ) * MoP has quit IRC (QUIT: ) Right now, I'm gonna open up this floor for questions. * Mix sets mode: -m yay Concerning PSGX i can talk hey One at a time plz :) mix lol * Zippy has joined #planetsg.net * DutchMasters has quit IRC (QUIT: ) my suggestion didnt get asked! :< you said about other games we get to talk about other games * DarkF thinks the gag tasted bad i can talk now?????
