So how many people here will be playing NS2 when it comes out, or have already gotten a beta and are already playing it :?: :D

[Imperial]

I had an account on NS long time back. Seems like NS2 brings some of the features long overdue, so I'll probably sign up once it launches publicly.

I also found this amusing:

[Legionnaire]

I'm playing the beta.

[Osafune]

Lol, I find how they have all of those CN ads on there pretty funny, too..

So, Legionnaire, what world are you in?

Oceanica in World 16

In which one are you?

[Arcadian Empire]

I'm encouraging everyone to play this when it comes out publicly...get ready for the Legion Invasion!

[FreeMason]

I'll be on there when it comes out.

Oceanica in World 16

In which one are you?

World 16? When I got my invite, world 7 was the highest one there was... And that happens to be where I'm at, Arctic in world 7. Hmmm can you make nations in other worlds at this point? 'cuz I'd want to invite you to the alliance I started, Expatriates.

[Osafune]

So, on my NS2 alliance's forums, we're starting to get things set up for some role plays/type-its, and some NS1 pals are starting to sign up for them. You're all welcome to come over and join!

The current two that's being discussed right now are the Nation Role Play (think News Reports from CN's forum) and a Civilization Role Play. The Civ rp involves guiding your species from the stone age up through modern times. In the past, it involved gods and such a lot, giving it a sort of fantasy-type feel to it.

So, the forum is http://z11.invisionfree.com/Expatriates/index.php?act=idx . Come join us! :D

(and maybe you could join EXP in NS2 some time in the future? remember, you can join as many alliances as you want in NS2! :P )

There are multiple worlds? Is it like different servers where you create a nation per world?

[Osafune]

Yeah, it's like that. I don't know if each world is it's own server though. Currently there's 30 something worlds, and it's still only in the INVITE phase... Only in the area of 5,000 invites have been sent. And so far, only one nation PERIOD is allowed, but in the future we're supposed to be allowed to have one nation per world, and each of those nations can join or create as many nations as the owner wishes. BUT... the average size of a world right now is only 100 nations.

[Imperial]

I suppose in some ways that is realistic given the size of planet earth...but in some ways sounds extremely boring to be limited to interacting within the bounds of your world. Same people over & over...

[Legionnaire]

Hmmm can you make nations in other worlds at this point? 'cuz I'd want to invite you to the alliance I started, Expatriates.

Nope, it says beta key has already been used up.

[Osafune]

Yeah, I realized that not long after I posted that :P

But really, I hope they condense it down to one or two worlds with a next to infinite maximum population. They've already said that ambassadors (the people who donate) are going to be allowed to start private worlds...

[Imperial]

Private worlds? What a one nation global state?

[The Corporal]

I didn't even know the beta was out yet. Just let me know which 'world' to sign up on when it comes out for public release and I'll sign up. :)

[Osafune]

Private worlds? What a one nation global state?

No... From what I understand, they're like regular worlds except they're custom made...
