Hey. I've got windows 8 and this doesn't seem to be working for me. Continuum just seems to open as normal even though I'm loading it through the program. Any thoughts?

Works. Thanks!

The standalone client doesn't seem to work for me either. It's giving me a timeout error. Strange, because I was able to use the web based one just fine.

Thanks bud. I've been getting used to having this open in the background while at work.

sshyperspace.net seems to be some kind of spanish website now? Is the chatnut client still up anywhere?

Ace and Maverick fixed all the sites that were affected.

I'll say the same thing I said to the rest of the council when this was brought up: Subspace couldn't survive commercially 10 years ago when it was fresh and the graphics weren't outdated. Cosmic Rift couldn't survive commercially despite upgraded graphics and game engine. Continuum will not survive commercially. What attracts people to this game is the community. The community is bolstered by having other players as staff instead of mindless customer service reps. Unfortunately for SS it's a lose-lose situation. Either we hand everything every zone owner has over to rapidshare and trust that a megacorporation has our community's best interests (it doesn't, corporations care only for making money. if they didn't think they could make a profit they would not be doing this) or say thanks but no thanks and hope they just lose interest. Because if their clone actually does get coded and they settle all legal issues, SS is done anyway. "Go along with them, what's the worst that could happen?" The worst that could happen is SS YET AGAIN does not function as a commercial game and it gets dropped by rapidshare. Say what you will about priitk but the guy is hosting 70% of the zones, 90% of the most played ones. He asks for nothing in return. If we all leave for this new subspace clone and it gets dropped, we won't have anywhere to come back to. You would be severing all ties with priit without having a backup, as even with priit's resources I'm sure he won't pay for servers if they aren't being used. Say it doesn't get dropped by rapidshare. Would you pay 5 bucks to play a nightwasp in chaos? Are you willing to put up with advertisements every time you enter a zone? There's only so many things rapidshare can do to make a profit off of SS, it's either gonna be a ton of advertisements, micro-transactions or a straight up monthly fee. Don't kid yourselves, this isn't the "answer" SS has been looking for, though it's pretty much bound to have the same effect. It's just that nobody's really put in much thought on what the consequences of abandoning priitk will be and how they weigh in with the many advantages he's offered.

I enjoyed the demo as well. Looking forward to this one for sure.

Yeah, even EA got in on it and they've got their own e-store. Would be great to get Cont on there somehow, but we'd need some pretty big updates to the game engine and I doubt Priit is up to it.

The game would have died if priitk hadn't created Continuum from scratch. I don't particularly agree with his decision to hang on to the code (and have mentioned it multiple times) but he has reasoning behind it. If the code were to fall into the wrong hands we'd have another twister on our hands, and twister is what prompted Priitk to create Continuum in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, there are only 3 coders out there that I would trust with the continuum source: Dr. Brain, Arnk, and Grelminar. Either way, there's no doubt the game is in a period of stagnation right now but it's definitely not as bad a shape as some make it out to be. OP included.

Candy and I can start the repopulation process.

I'm talking genuine friendship where you, you know, actually hang out with the other person often. I have tons of female acquaintances where there are no feelings from either party. If you hang out with a girl enough one of you will develop feelings for the other, if they weren't already there to begin with. So to reiterate, my definition of friends is someone you hang out with often.

I've always been of the opinion that it is impossible for a guy and a girl to be just friends and that one of them always has feelings for the other.

Ah yes, Vereinsgesetz 2002.

Left you a message.
