I think and hope what they meant with "no changes to the game mechanics" was "we aren't going to **** everything up straight away". But again, please clarify.

Wouldn't Utopia benefit from in-game chat too?

That's what I mean by "rude changes".

I was just trying to point out that your statement (quoted below) was completely wrong.

Recoding will do good even without any rude changes (like you suggested).

Personally, I'll think about spamming them with ideas about what to add/change/remove once they start testing the code on genesis.

I believe that they will keep making minor changes to WoL (like races and buildings numbers), otherwise we'll all get bored.

OMAC, now is the time to correct me if I'm wrong ;)

As for third party tools. they might not fall under OMAC's scope, a lot of players and kingdoms (if not nearly everyone) rely on it.

Uhhh, it is fine is they never promise to support these third party tools but...
They are the ones that make EUT programs.

Can you trust people that throw out promises and forget them afterward? IMO, it is better to make 2 promises and do them than make 10 promises while only do 5 of them.

Pls omac make also a mobile version of this game. I think making a special mobile layout will be very good for the game. Mobile internet is a market that is fast growing and lots of current utopia players are already logging in by phone.

Good post

Hey all and Omac,

Nice post, look forward to a CGI error free time.

Keep up the good work and we will see how it goes, can we get an email atm that genissis launches with the new code based on the Utopia Kingdoms pre-register list?

Cheerz,

Sean & Brian ...oh no ... Frank and Wally are much better Ninja names!

All jokes aside,
Glad to hear an update on the direction of UC, pretty much what I expected after DC's last
few comments to us. Thx guys.

While I'm happy to wait for the new code base and a stable server, I read your comments as "no new changes" as for the test on Gen.
If this is the case, then maybe you should make that clear that new changes
for WoL are on the books, this would make lots of "me me me all about me I WANT IT NOW players happy. JMO

Thx again Frank and Wally ;0)

are you going to make new forums for utopia kingdoms, because currently they link here, and the blog on the utopiakingdoms links to the swirve blog? I dont think this is the best place for new players of a different game to come, and dont think these forums should be diluted by a different game anyway

Currently Pimp and Angel both rely on formatted Text and if you change the codebase, does that also mean you will change the formatting of the frontward text?

As players, we use these tools extensively and I would like to be able to still use them as a part of them game.

As the Developer of the NEW Utopia Pimp [1], I would like to be invited on the inside along with Brother Green (Creator of Angel) and the creator of Megatron. So that we can test our items against the new working Utopia.

I would rather we not shut everyone out why we update regular expressions to match your front text formats.

[1] Pimp is getting/has a new code base. The Old Pimp man (Mike) has moved on to bigger and better and has left me to control his app along with creating a new codebase.

Please contact me at spoiledtechie ... Gmail

well utopia temple is listed as one of the official game tools so they will have more infomation about whats gonna change (thats my guess anyways)

That is all good news, although it might be good to have outside tools (angel,pimp etc..) I would like to see these tools "inside" of the game as apposed to having separate programs and pages. would also like to see more Kingdoms with fewer proves in them, that would spread out the experience player base for more Kingdoms that recruit and train new players into the game. Right now you can not get into a Kingdom that has the top players in them, and if you do get in, it dose little to develop new players. It is also easier to maintain a Kingdom with fewer time zone issues.

Gen is a bit small for Kingdoms while Legends are too big.

Glad to have a devoted crew on Utopia Classic and look forward to what you have in store.

Good Luck and thank you.

Or... a lot of people would quit because they get kicked out of their kingdoms that no longer have room for everyone.
