  • Bernd the man himself had a few words about this not long ago X Online Universe, by Bernd (Egosoft)
    Bernd wrote:Hi everybody,

    I can assure you that Online-Universe as a concept is still our long term goal. It is a pitty that we did not yet find financial

    resources to fund this game straight away, so we will have to stick with our "Plan B" and finance the development of Online-Universe through the X series.

    You will notice that every game of the X series is a step towards OU. Some steps are smaller some bigger. X² - The Return also

    introduces some concepts which are part of the "big picture" that OU will be. The best example is probably the connectability of

    factories but there are others (just stay tuned ;)

    The next step after X² - The Return will definitely bring us a whole lot closer to OU, because it will be another "almost from

    scratch" development and it is not very surprising that the working title for it is currently "X3" ;)

    The fact that the OU website was not updated in a long time is indeed because we have not much new to say about it "PR" wise. It

    just doesn't make sense to talk about it at the moment. But internally there is always a lot of thinking going into this project.


    Have a good new year everybody!

    -Bernd

A good idea for egosoft to make money for Online Universe, is to get a couple of developers and make a game of one guy shooting and blasting all the horrible creature that appears in a way, those game sell a lot :D

I don't know why :gruebel:

and with that money they can make the online play possible for good games like the x series :D

or they can release X3 mainstream like they are planning, resulting in larger sales in all 4 x games due to new fans finding the history of it all, and make a mint that way :wink:

Persistent servers for game play 24/7 eat money 24/7, and you need a lot of them. You have to have that sort of investment up front, with no guarantee of return, but yes most of us can't wait for the day, we hope will be possible one day.

Is true well, right know I’m getting impatient with the release of x3, and with release of BF2 I can get some online joy, so I can wait for the X3

But the true is I’m single player by hart not an online one

I realy do doubt that we will see X online within the next 4 years. Its a wild guess but it could happen after that. If X3 makes tons of money it could be sooner.

Even when it does show up, it will be part of the scourge of gameplaying kind.

Pay To Play. :shock:

Wouldnt it be worth it? This is a strong community. Loads of money to Egosoft and then things get better and better. More servers, more technology. Better game, More people, more money. And so on. That is if it stays popular for ages.
Cost isnt worth worrying about right now. We have no idea how much it will cost.

Frankly? No. I am against pay to play in principle and in practise.

That and X is a single player universe - I personally think online would spoil it.
