1.481 was supposed to be the version when everything changes. That didn't happen. I don't think 1.483 will be. This game will always stay small and there will never be enough money to advertise.

I was thinking of writing a player review of darskapce once 1.483 comes out and sending it into my local games magazine. Maybe Faust should contact some games magazines, as ours always lists the "whats new" and list of whats to come.
I have an old UK PCGAMER, which said how disapointed they where at the fact that blue byte canned the release in the UK, they said they where quite looking forward to it aswell...

As far EVE goes .....
There is one reason why EVE does so much more better than DarkSpace. And because of that there are other reasons that derive from the main reason.
That reason is ..... Money
Yes ..... Money
Money allows many things as in the following. (which shall be addressed in a somewhat order but not saying which is more important)
#1 - Money allows basically unlimited advertising which unfortunatly DS cannot do. DS can only get advertisement via word of mouth and the odd small Internet Game Magizine write up. Eve has Poster, Game Magizine Ads, Free Demo's in said Game Magizine, Reveiws on Major Internet sites and so forth.
#2 - Money allows Mass production of software to put on store shelfs which in turn is somewhat refered to #1 since if a consumer sees it and it looks good and the guy who works behind the counter has played it and recommends it there is a very good chance of a purchous (good my spelling sucks today) and if the game has a full box and not just a jewel case there is a good chance of an impulse purchase which also adds to the Original Reason... Money....
#3 - Money allows a game to have ten's if not hundreds of programmers doing thier little collective parts, be it lead programmer or chat room programmer, to make a absolutly eye poping game that just rocks like a M-16 on Full-Auto everytime you pull the trigger or click your mouse (If your happy and you know it click you mouse! *click* *click*
#4 - Money allows for a support staff that is happy to help you at any given moment (now I know our dev team and others pipe up and help as much as they can when they can but they have other RL jobs) and a 800 # to call for tech help or at least a real human to chat with.
And IMO the most important reason .....
#5 - Money allows you to have top of the line equiptment to support the hordes of people that want to play your game. They allow you to have TONS of bandwidth and Servers that make most indie game designers mouths drool with envy.
In a nutshell it is money that drives the gaming world. Point in fact..
We currently have 21, 045 players registered with this game... but how many are actually subbed? A very small percentage I would suspect...
We need to get more people to subscribe to eleviate this money problem DS is having. Think about this..
If 21, 045 people subscribed for a 6 month term thats only $ 8.33 a month US (vice the $ 9.95 US per month that is a single month rate) the pay in would be stagering.
21,045 x $ 49.95 (for a 6 month sub [$ 8.33 US a month]) = $ 1,051,197.75 US!!!
But lets be real.. not everyone can afford to plunk down $ 49.95 US at one time... so lets look at $ 9.95 US for a one month subscription.
21,045 x $ 9.95 (for a 1 month sub) = $ 209,397.75 US every frelling month.
It is simple Economics folks.... Eve is kicking our collective player base butts becuase they have the Money to get the things they need no matter what that need may be.
I would like to say this before I give my final thought on this frelling EVE matter. I have played this game for a veeeeery long time (on two separate accounts) and I absolutly applaude the Big F and all the people (devs and such) that have put thier heart and soul into this game... IMHO I beleive this is one of the best MMPOG that are currently on the market BUT we as a player base are tieing (sp?) the Big F's hands here.. YES WE ARE!... We do not subscribe, which does not bring in money, which forces the games programmers to find OTHER jobs to support thier families and takes them away timewise from the game they so desperately love and bleed for, and then they have to hear us, the player base complain about how bad this and that is in the game and this game and that game is taking over.. which puts even MORE stress of the Programmers to hurry up and make the game better faster than they want to... makes them rush things into being before they are ready just to shut up the player base so they, the programmers, can actually take a breather from all the frelling whining.
Anyways I will say this one last thing....
To all who complain, whine, bitch, moan and groan about this and that about this game, or that game is taking over here or there listen to this!
Sit Down, Shut Up, Subscribe your ARSE, and once Faustus gets the Money from the Subs he can fix things and make the game FRELLING BETTER!
NUFF FRELLING SAID!
*fumes at all the people that have nothing better to do than DS bash*
Note: To whomever cares... I will place this game till it crashes into the ground... once I get back LOL
OK ready your flamethrowers and frelling FLAME AWAY... I get shot at soo its nothing big anyways...

True, money is one of the mayor key's here
It is a bit "the cat bites the own tail"
As long, as "we" have few subscribers, we do not have the money to advertise as much as needed, the result is, we can not let the (paying) player-base grow as much as needed, so, we have not the money to...
you know what i mean
for the moment, everybody have to do his best to spread the messange -->there is a (very good) game, waiting for more who can separate the best from the good
