How much longer

will this game last?
Any one have any insight to this? Costs of running the game/servers vs. profit made? When the profit will run out? When the game will have a mass die off of current active players as it grows more boring with not many challenges left?
Do you think that once the smell of death is in the air many $$ spenders will stop spending as much money as their wont be much to gain?

Re: How much longer

to be fair people have been saying it's dead or dying for probably 4+ yrs now, game is still here, admin is still (i assume) making a living, the only real challenge for him is how to get new players involved in a cost effective way now that sg-1 is not showing on TV so much. I can see it lasting 4+ more years though quite easily.

Re: How much longer

Servers are relatively cheap to maintain, we're talking a few kW and then just operational costs, which I think Jason does himself now.

With a new SG-1 app coming out...there's a possibility the world of stargate is planning on making a come back.

So I said 2-4 years. Cos I'm right.

No. Some development studio has developed an official app. See http://gateworld.net for details.

Re: How much longer

This game will last years... old players are still here... new comming... the golden era is over I bet, but we all are still here. And honestly... how many of you quit already? And did you rejoin?... I did one hour after I sold account... created new one and played again from ground...

My bet on 4+

Re: How much longer

have u ever herd about addiction????

it is a sickness....like those u u usually see ...alcohol , drugs, gamble etc....the last that is added is game addiction....its the modern form to take ppl from reality and its doing a good job.
only 5% of world population is down to earth mentality the rest are addicted to smth ..that take them good part of their brain activity......these tools are used to control humanity cuz theres no other way out unless giving up this method.

Re: How much longer

The people playing this game have been doing it for a very long time. It's like we are stuck in a way. I've left and I have come back many times. I don't know what I would do on the internet if it wasn't for this game. ( I do know what I would do, but I do not want to be censored :-D )

They will be responsible for the overall feel of the section, the setup/structure, and most importantly the community/users in the section. This will incorporate the old 'ombudsman' role.

There is no 'reporting structure' in this setup -- tech, mod, and section admins are all on equal footing, each with their own (somewhat overlapping) responsibilities.
Mods report directly to the mod admin, and indirectly to the section admin for the section in which they mod.

Re: How much longer

I voted for 6 months before it becomes pointless to play.

Realistically? Many years, probably, due to stubborn people.
