Stand Alone Client

[Our Heroes Die]

I feel it would be a great idea to turn the game into a stand alone when the battle system comes out, because many games do not run smoothly on a browser. (Runescape).

[Bernard the Bear]

no... and it would still all be on the same server, so there would still be lag...

[gatekeeperrea]

I hope u need a agent who can tell u what is going on in the other groups

[Devt]

No it probably would not be a good idea. Think about it--for one thing people would demand being able to be in the normal community of gaia, or in "teams". And also it would still use a server of some kind, and would lag ANYWAY. (think early DragonFable xd )

[Tempest-Tama]

Dragon fable is fun but the lagging pisses me off.........Oh sweet avi art.

[Our Heroes Die]

Didn't think of the fact that the forum is integrated with the game... hehe, i guess it would be a bad idea.

An optional downloadable client wouldn't be a bad idea, but forceing people to download is no way to handle this MMO. But I also think forcing people to play off of the website wouldn't be much better, mostly due to connection issues that could crop up when several people attempt to connect at once

[Our Heroes Die]

the only reason i thought of this idea, is because the mmos i played that are not stand-alone had major lag and glitch issues (ogre-island, runescape).
and i thought it would be a better idea to improve game speed by having it be a stand alone client.

They currently are working on the stability issues with the servers, I expect they'll have better and more powerful ones up and running by the time Battle is ready for release...

I'm very lucky to be talking to the head of the gaming division of Sun Microsystems today and they're happy that we're looking into their game server technology. We'll be getting more help from the cool guys at Sun and hopefully we'll soon have a scalable and rock solid game server up and running!

thatscool cool

[Ogremindes]

I'd like to see a downloadable client. I have a pretty lousy internet connection (is 'Internet' really a proper noun? My spellchecker seems to think so), that gets shaped to barely better than dial-up almost half the time. Having as many of the graphics resources as possible stored locally would help a lot.
